Epilogue
Disclaimer: J. R. R. Tolkein owns all of this stuff.
A large table is set extravagantly. The first person to enter the dinning room is Aragorn. He is wearing a robe he borrowed from his father and his hair is slicked back. Next Arwen walks in and the two of them embraces.
"Did you go see the healer about your ankle", Arwen asks.
Aragorn nods.
The sounds of footsteps jar them back to reality. Elrond enters the room. They both smile at him.
"Take a seat", Elrond gestures for the other two to sit down.
Soon after the three sit down Ellandan and Elrohir enter and take their seats.
Finally, Helena and Adrowin enter. Helena is wearing a flowing light blue dress Arwen loaned to her. Adrowin is wearing an over-sized robe that loosely hangs off his body. Once everyone is seating, several maids enter with plates of food and pitchers of wine.
When all of the plates have been placed and all the wine has been poured Elrond raises his glass for a toast. The others raise their glasses too.
"To new friends", Elrond nods towards Helena and Adrowin, "and new beginnings."
"And to old memories", Aragorn adds. Everyone takes a drink of their wine and proceed to eat. The dinner went without a hitch. They all converse through the dinner, talking about old times and what has happened lately. Their laughter and conversations catch in the cool evening air and drift off into the sky until they are nothing but a memory.

A party of Elves, along with Aragorn, found Legolas's body and takes it back to Rivendell. He was then buried near the entrance to Rivendell.
Adrowin did indeed become a Ranger, a very good one at that. He fought many battles along side Aragorn. Sadly he was slain in battle at the age of twenty-four. His body was buried next to Legolas's.
Helena lived a long life, nearly to the age of eighty. She served Elrond and his family the rest of her life. After Adrowin's death, she continued to work for Elrond and took care of Aragorn and Arwen's children.
No one ever heard anything more of Kaywin. Rumors began to spread of a wild man living in the woods near her old home, but Helena paid no heed to them.
Aragorn continued to love Arwen till his dying days. She bore him several daughters and a son. Though he never saw Legolas again, he never forgot about him and the promise he made to the Elf.
