Ok, last chapter. Though I am not sure if you would call it a chapter considering it is an epilogue.
And it is sooooo short anyway. But anyhow, please enjoy this last part in "Where Once Was Light". And I want to thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews!!!! I enjoy them sooooo much!!!!!! I read them and laugh at the silly antics or smile at the sweet words. And I am still looking for a beta reader. So if anyone is interested. Go ahead and email me. Put something like Beta reader in the subject so I know what you want. Otherwise I will delete the email. I am picky about those things.
I tried with Arwen-Evenstar 2. But seeing as how she is a little more than busy at the moment, and that I am the impatient person I am, I need someone else to do so, until she is able to do it again.
So if you have better grammar and spelling than me, and would like to try out for this. Please go ahead and email me. I would be much obliged.
Thanks a bunch to you all!!!!!!!!!! Namarie!
Epilogue
Lingwen glanced out into the courtyard, her eyes traveling down the long lines of elves.
All seemed in some way wounded, and most were weary looking.
A slight smile came over her fair face, and she had to watch herself to keep under control.
Her sight lighted upon Taran, who was the last elf top make his way through the gate, in front of him Galanion stumbled slightly. Both were sulky and she could she a shine in their deep eyes.
"Taran?" she called over the elvish, dwarvish, and common confusion that played in the large crowd.
The elf's green eyes shot up, but he did not smile.
That instant, his eyes hit hers like never before, she knew. Something was very wrong.
He ascended the smooth concrete steps, his booted feet weary. He stumbled slightly, but picked himself up and kept walking.
"Yes mylady?" he said with a huff. Melancholy began to well up in his heart at the sight of his prince's fair maiden. Her were eyes asking questions that he could not answer.
"Taran, where is Prince Legolas?" she asked, heart filling with dread and eyes with tears.
His throat clenched painfully, and he choked back a sob. Taran shook his raven head.
"I-I tried milady. I tried to save Legolas!" he let the tears fall as he thought of his dear friend being trapped behind the bars.
Lingwen nodded softly and looked back up. "And Estel?"
Taran dipped his head. "Him too." Was all the tired and over worked soldier could manage.
Lingwen turned slowly and began to make her way back down the hall, but all her emotions broke loose and she started to run. Covering her mouth to muffle the horrible sobs. Tear fell from her pale cheeks and hit the marble floor.
Her world had turned, Legolas was gone.
She passed by Elrond as he made his way down the hall to greet and possibly even heal the elves.
"Lingwen? What ever is the matter?" he asked as she came sprinting down the long corridor. She did not stop, she could not talk to anyone.
All the while she passed elves, voices ran through her mind and scenes played over and over in her eyes.
'I love you more.'
"I do not want you to leave." she whispered back, and looked up at his with discernment.
Legolas smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "I know that dear, now what is really the matter?"
"I am afraid that you will get hurt, and what if I never see you again."
Legolas took her chin and pulled her face into his, slanting his mouth over hers. Her breath caught in her throat and his heart stopped.
Her palms laid flat against his chest and she pulled away from him and looked deep into his eyes.
"I love you." She whispered just before they pulled back into another soft kiss. His arms wrapped around her slender waste.
They pulled away and he ran his fingers through her wonderful Golden hair.
He grinned playfully and brought a smooth cold and on her cheek. "I love you more."
Lingwen laughed and pushed him away, he just watched her, taking in her features, tracing them….loving them.
Lingwen threw herself onto her bed and wept. Her mind always going back to the memories of Legolas and her. She could not stop them. She tried to forget, tried to stop the everflowing tears. But they would not cease.
She let her sobs fill the cooling breeze as the wind blew through the open windows. She paid no attention to any birds or other sounds that came forth. All that could be heard in her elven ears, was her sobbing breaths, and the beating of a broken heart.
