This is the last chapter! *sobs*

A/N: this is going to be *short* [see author's note at the end] but thanks for the *six* reviews from icy878, Em, jey'ana, Norie Ape, and Lilena [um, even though three of them were from icy878 and they were the same *shrug*] *haha* she was/is a little spoiled brat [I have to make her somewhat realistic *laugh*] but that's okay- at least she's not a MS- and this is in her point of view so it's what she's thinking at that moment- so remember that not everyone agrees with her. I guess this chapter could be considered the Epilogue- but that doesn't mean that her story is over yet. Oh, and to Norie Ape- sorry once she gets to the Undying Lands- there's no turning back.

A/N again: *haha sorry you aren't going to want to read all these notes* now I have *77* reviews! *Seventy seven!* Oh my gosh! Thank you guys so much!

I did not care much for paddling, but I had nothing else to do nor anyone to talk to. It was a grey, rainy night, yet I saw a large tower, which seemed to loom above the clouds as it emitted an orange light- the Tower of Avallónë.

I looked over at Master Frodo- he had just woken up and there was a bit of the sea mist and rain in his curly hair. Suddenly, as if a curtain, the rain stopped and the clouds seemed to tumble backwards.

Before me was a never-ending country of green, dotted with white cities. We neared the tower and sailed around the island, across the bay, and toward a pass which Mithrandir said was the 'Pass of Light.' We did not go through the Pass of Light that day, but rather to a city on the edge of the bay- called Alqualondë. Mithrandir led his horse, Shadowfax, toward the Swanhaven.

The city was beautiful- with pearl mansions of Olwë and a harbor with swan boats and a gate of sea-carved rock. We stayed there only for a night before we started along our way toward Valmar- the city of the Valar. We rode toward Tirion- the city upon Túna with white buildings and a white tower which had a silver lamp which shone even into the foggy sea.

I wished to dwell there longer for it reminded me of Imladris with its perfect white homes and domed roofs, but Mithrandir wanted to get to Valmar sooner rather than later, so onward we rode.

We reached Valmar in a matter of two months- Glorfindel was the first to see the golden buildings with his impeccable eyesight. Grudgingly I came to Valinor, yet even I had to admit that the city was quite beautiful. We all dismounted and led our horses into the golden-green city, covered with vibrant and vivid flowers. I bent down and gently pulled at the stem of a pale flower that I had once seen in Lórien- Arwen had pointed them out to me.

"Niphredil," I said softly to myself. I looked up to see the other part of my company a few paces ahead. I quickened my pace. 'To think,' the voice of Arwen rang in my head, like the soft song of a nightingale, 'that these flowers of Lórien shall bloom no longer east of the Sea.' I shook her voice from my head- pretending that I didn't hear anything- and maybe I didn't.

We walked no more than a few paces into the city before a tall, beautiful Elf- whom seemed as beautiful as Arwen herself, stood before us. Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel walked straight toward her. It was then that I recognized her as Lady Celebrían. I immediately thought of Arwen, how she would respond to her choice.

"My Lady," Lord Elrond said softly, looking over at the Lady of the Once-Golden Wood, whom promptly gave the slightest shake of her grand head.

"Where are my children?" she asked just as softly, smiling a small smile at the memory of them, "I have not seen them for quite some time and I much desire to speak with them." I looked down at the golden dirt path, trying to focus on one pebble, yet my eyes clouded up.

"Come," I heard Lord Elrond say. I looked up again and tried to blink the tears from my eyes. Lord Elrond helped Lady Celebrían up atop his horse and guided his horse away from the path. I sighed, almost wistfully, to myself as I watched the ageless couple walk off.

"How will she respond?" I said, speaking for the first time in days, my voice cracking.

Lady Galadriel looked over at me, her blue eyes staring deeply into me, "I have not the heart to say." Of course, it was quite a stupid question, yet I felt the need to say it.

Saelbeth cleared his throat, "Come, and let us continue. The Lord and Lady shall find their way back." We walked deeper into the city, yet I was not taking in any of the beautiful buildings, artfully crafted with such skill that I could never amount to. No, my heart was somewhere else.

"Ah," Mithrandir said, tapping my shoulder with his staff gently, "Look," he then proceeded to point up at a small home.

"I beg your pardon?" I responded, "A home," I added dryly. He just smiled his crooked Istari smile. I looked up and waited.

"Canyaiel is that you?" I immediately dropped the bag of food I had been holding and ran toward him.

"Oh, ada," I cried, throwing my arms around him- but he did not seem to mind. He looked just as I had remembered him, long dark hair and deep blue eyes- looking grand in a beautiful robe, with a wise face, aging only slightly with wisdom after what seemed like an endless time.

We sat there, on a garden bench, for some time, I was telling him about everything that had happened, from the day he left to Elrohir teaching me how to swordfight, to meeting Legolas and having him shoot me with an arrow, to telling him about Calwaiel and every single event that had happened to me until now.

"So much has happened, I have missed you," he said softly, "I am sorry for everything."

"You need not be sorry, ada," I replied nonchalantly, burying my head into his chest, "I have missed you, too." I sighed as he placed his arms around me.

"Aye, I remember Arwen, when you were very young- around the age of sixty years, I believe, when Elrohir tripped Arwen into the river and you jumped in after her."

"Yes, I remember," I replied laughing almost solemnly, "And Calwaiel did not want her dress dirty, but Elladan pushed her in."

"Oh, and I remember how cross Lord Elrond was with you after you and Elrohir stole his sword, and when you and the twins set the palace on fire, and when Arwen and you stole Lady Celebrían's prized stallion." I laughed softly, almost to myself, yet tears flowed from my face. 'Waterfalls,' Arwen's voice said, laughing, ringing in my head. Ada seemed to sense my pain and sorrow and he tried to change the subject.

"Who is this Legolas elf?" My mind instantly wandered to Legolas, shooting his arrow at a target, laughing with a fair maiden along the underground corridors of his palace, and walking with a beautiful, white horse.

"Oh," I said, wondering what would be the correct thing to say, "He is the elf of the Fellowship, he was once my great friend."

"Friend, you say?"

"I must add that I also said 'once.'"

"You tell untruths, my dear, even I can see that," I started to open my mouth to protest but he continued on, "I can see it in your eyes."

"Oh, Lómiel, it will work out."

"It has been long since anyone has called me by that," I said, laughing bitterly, "Alas, I have rejected his love, and he, mine."

He comforted me, holding me tightly in his strong arms, "pân nâ pân-lhû mae ned i-methed. Ae nâ ú-mae, nâ ú i-methed."

I disregarded his advice as unimportant- or maybe I did take it seriously, yet nevertheless I had not a response. Rather, I adjusted myself, resting in my father's chest and breathing deeply as I watched the Elves walk along the dirt path.

Laughter came from the lane- a young Elven-maiden, running whilst holding her skirt up, laughing madly as she ran. An Elf came running after shortly, as the maiden turned around and let out another fit of laughter. He continued chasing her until he caught her- they were both laughing as he pushed her softly to the ground, hovering above her.

He leaned down and kissed her softly.

Everywhere someone's getting over

Everybody cries

And sometimes you can still lose even if you really try

Talking about the dream

Like the dream is over

Talk like that

Won't get you nowhere

Everybody's trusting in the heart

Like the heart don't lie

A/N: Wow, I can't believe it's really over. I never thought it would end this way (well, I did, just the 'getting there' part was different.)

I know some of you are going to be upset with the way I ended it, but it's my job as an author to get a reaction/emotions from the readers (you) and if I did that then I did my job.

Review for a sequel. Know that I'm not asking you to review twice or anything, I just want to get the word out.

The reason I'm asking for reviews for a sequel is because writing this takes a lot of time and I want to know that people are actually reading it. If so, I'll continue and if not I'll move on. After all, I have a lot of stuff I need to do (finals are coming up!) especially because I'm in my last year of middle school (junior high).
