EPILOGUE:

After the war, Aragorn took on the responsibility as King of Gondor then he married hi long time love Lady Arwen. Legolas and Gimli went on with their planned visit to the caves of Helms' Deep and to Fanghorn. After which Gimli returned to the Lonely Mountains and Legolas proceeded to rule over Ithilien. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippen return to the Shire where they told their tales of adventure to the little ones. Peace finally reigned over Middle Earth and it lasted for many years. And slowly one by one all of the members of the fellowship sailed to Valinor. Frodo was first to sail followed by Gandalf, Aragorn, Sam, Merry and Pippen. Gimli and Legolas were the only members of the fellowship left. And even though years had already gone by, Legolas still did not forget Lenae. He had still hoped that someday she would just suddenly appear before him, but she never did. And even now as he was preparing to sail to Valinor to accompany Gimli he still kept on hoping. But as they boarded the boat, he finally realized that he would never get the chance to see her again.

Upon reaching Valinor, Legolas and Gimli were greeted by the rest of the fellowship who were already there waiting for them. They were then hastily lead through the gates, then the great doors shut. Both of them were then informed of a feast being held in their honor and as everybody began to walk towards the feast, Legolas stayed behind to give a last look at the closed door. The closed door meant that everything was finally over, sighing Legolas then began to walk away.

' Cormamin lindau ele lle (My heart sings to see thee) . . . My prince! '

Stopping, Legolas quickly turned around to see the person who had spoken to him. He gave a gasp, for standing in front of him was Lenae. Her appearance had somehow changed, instead of dull silver hair she had silver hair that shone as if sunlight was always upon it and her dark blue eyes were now the color of the sea. After his initial shock wore off, Legolas immediately embraced Lenae and crushed her mouth with his. Not so far away the fellowship looked on; all were grinning widely for they were happy now that the two of them were together at last.

' Why did you not tell me you were here? I would have come sooner. ' Legolas whispered.

' If I had done it, you would not have done great things. You did a very good job in running Ithilien. ' She replied.

' But! ' He started to say.

' Do not dwell upon it, the important thing is that we are now together! ' She stated.

' You are right! But I have to know, How you came to be here?'

' Your are right, I died and that I should not be here. But my ancestors thought that they should give me a chance in life. So they revived me. But the only problem is that I was to stay in Valinor and never leave.'

' Then I should thank them for making it possible to be with you. Aren't the shadows responsible in protecting Valinor? ' He inquired.

' Yes! But you need not worry, I am no longer their commander. I have given up that responsibility. And I no longer can become Gwanath. When my ancestors, the dark elves, revived me they made sure to remove the darkness inside me. The darkness had brought me only pain and suffering. They wanted me to become happy. '

With a smile on his face, Legolas gave Lenae a chaste kiss on the cheek. Looking up to Legolas, Lenae gave her brightest smile. But if you look closely into her eyes, one could see it was filled with sorrow.
This was because she was hiding a secret from him. Lenae felt bad hiding the truth from Legolas, but
It was the only way to be able to continue with her duties without him worrying about her whenever she had to leave. She did not lie when she said that she was no longer the commander of the shadow. The truth was she was the highest council member of the shadows, which means that not only does her responsibility lie within the walls of Valinor but it too lies with the entire Middle Earth and the afterlife. It is her duty to make sure that no evil like Sauron would ever rise again. She did tell the truth that she was to stay in Valinor but it worse comes to worse she will have to leave Valinor and if she does she can never return. But there is no reason for her to reveal her secret yet. Until that time comes, she will spend everyday with him. She can finally be happy.

' We must get going, the others are waiting. The feast could not start without us. ' She informed him with a smile.

' Then we shall go! '

Walking with a smile on his face, Legolas did not notice that when Lenae had flicked her wrist a protective shield had gone up around Valinor. Neither did he notice her giving a nod to a shadow behind a tree as giving it a silent order to keep her informed. A new evil was growing and this one seemed to be more powerful than Sauron.
