Chapter Six: RITUS
"I envy you for your wisdom, but I will talk to you again when you've found the love of your life," finished Aragorn, turning away, starting towards the stairs.
"Utúvienyes," I have found it, Legolas said after him "ëa er urahta" it is still unreachable.
Aragorn turned around briefly before starting to descend the stairs, deep in thought about the Elf's words. What if true love never happened? What if it was just love what happened and true love that stayed unreachable? He shook his head. What was he thinking? He and Arwen were true love.
Then why was he doubting?

" Arwen, ela! Elyënar vanya! Arwen, look! You are beautiful!" Elrond said at the sight of his daughter.
"Thank you father," Arwen replied, turning around so the wind lifted her lightblue dress from the ground.
Elrond's face turned serious "I must ask you one more time Arwen ... "
"Yes, I truly love him, my whole heart belongs to him without a doubt," answered Arwen before he could question.
"Ve andavë elyënar tanca, as long you are sure" agreed Elrond.

Aragorn returned to the Entrance Hall, where he was amazed by the arrival of the Lady Galadriel and her royal Elfs.
" Mae govannen nerwendë artanis alatáriel," welcome maiden crowned with a garland of bright radiance, greeted Aragorn the Lady.
"Estel ... may everything in your future continue to shine like this day," Galadriel replied.
"May everything be blessed like that, my lady," Aragorn said, looking behind her, at her royal Elfs. "Do you really require so many servants?"
The lady Galadriel laughed. "No, my dear, these Elfs have asked me if they could come with me to sing for you and your bride," she informed him.
"Elfs singing at my wedding? I would have never wanted anything else to sing at the ceremony. Now, if you excuse me," Aragorn walked to his private quarters, where Elrond was waiting for him.

"Elf! What is the matter with you? All day you have been absent, and when you are around, you look like this!" Gimli asked Legolas, who had just entered the feast hall, the same hall dinner was served three hours ago.
"Nothing is the matter that is the matter right now," replied Legolas, looking around for the Centaur Fides.
"The four-legged Elf is outside, if he is the one you are looking for," told Gimli and Legolas nodded, moving out of the building.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tell me, Legolas, don't you have longing to return to your home?" asked Fides, when Legolas had joined him outside.
"I have, of course, but I will not return," Legolas smiled "I am dreading I will regret it when I do."
"Only because of the king?" asked Fides.
Legolas did not answer immediately, but merely glanced in front of him. "Partly," he said "not only."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The ceremony was about to start, Aragorn just started climbing the staircase to the top of the tower, when Legolas came running towards him.
"A fool as I am ... almost forgot the rings," he explained, holding high a pair of rings in his left hand.
"No more of a fool than I, the one who trusted them to you," Aragorn laughed, letting Legolas climb the stairs before he did.
"Are you nervous, my King?" called Legolas, while they climbed the last part of the stairs.
"As nervous as I was when they first told me I had to be King, that is, yes," replied Aragorn.
At the top of the stairs, Legolas turned to Aragorn, placing his right hand on the Man's left shoulder.
" Val-lya ná valnya, your happiness is my happiness, be blessed," Legolas told him, before joining the crowd.
Aragorn took a deep breath and walked onto the illuminated platform.
