Celandiel marvelled Hobbiton with great amazement. These Halflings had built up a great civilization in a few hundred years. She went up to a fruit stand.

'G'day, miss! Would you like to try some strawberries? They were just picked from my patches this morning!' the hobbit said.

'Yes; thank you.' Celandiel was thinking of buying something for her brother, mother, and Frodo to eat. After receiving a small paper bag full of plump red berries she went on exploring Hobbiton.

It had been almost a month since their arrival at Mirkwood, and the Wood- Elves, with Haldir's reinforcements had helped bring Thranduil victory. Many had been lost, but it still was well.

In the end, Andraste reunited with her father and when he met Haldir Lyrnthel granted permission for his daughter to marry the captain of the Lorien archers, and the couple dwelled in Caras Galadhon until the Fourth Age waned.

A while later, both Celandiel and Celordel met and went back up to Bag End.

'Celandiel!' her mother said happily. 'Have you bought something for Frodo?'

The half-Elf nodded. 'Have you and Frodo finished you talk?'

'We just have. Come in and you may talk to him.'

'Hi, Celandiel. I hope you enjoyed your walk in Hobbiton,' Frodo said, motioning for her to sit. 'Why, you've even brought something for me!'

'So I have,' Celandiel smiled. 'Please, if you want, can you tell me the tale of the Ring, and when you went on the Quest with the Fellowship?'

'I would be more than obliged to tell you the story,' Frodo replied, touching her hand.

'Come Celordel,' Mithredriel told her son. 'Let's allow them to talk alone.' And they retreated to the room they were staying in.

Legolas drew a dagger and held it to Calatalai's throat. Clearly she had not been touched by his arrow. 'Don't try to pull me into love, as I have told you before.'

Calatalai whimpered. 'Please don't kill me!'

'No? But I already warned you once. I don not think an Elven princess as yourself needs telling twice.' He rubbed the blade to her skin, but didn't cut her.

'Please, don't kill me,' she pleaded again. 'I promise I will never follow you again!'

'You really promise?' the Prince of Mirkwood asked sternly.

'Yes! Really I will keep to my word!' Calatalai was near tears. 'Just let me go!'

'Go then, and never come to me again.' He released her, and she bounded away. Legolas sighed, and making his final decision he went towards Galadriel's home.
