The last chapter! *sniff, sniff* I hope the ending to this story is ok. This is a very short chapter, and it just sums up the whole story really.

Thank you to everyone who has read this story, I love you all! Instead of cookies, you can have…chocolate ice cream! (If you don't like chocolate, then whatever flavour you like!) Oh, go on then, have cookies too, you deserve it!

I will be posting a new story very, very soon. And I am afraid it might be a Legomance! SORRY! I am working on about EIGHT stories at the moment! The ideas just come out of nowhere. So I have to get them down! Oh yeah, and er…do you think they had pianos in Middle-Earth? Just wondering.

This is a very random question. Who likes slash stories? Slash being male parings, e.g. Legolas/Aragorn. I know some people are very against it, but I was just wondering. I have actually just started one, and I wanted peoples' reviews on it. Please tell me in a review. Thanks! ^_^

I'll shut up now, and leave you to read the very last chapter of Sleeping Dangerously. ^_^

Elerrina- My favourite LotR website? I honestly know so many, I couldn't possibly tell! This one, (obviously), and hotelf.com are quite good. barrowdowns.com is ok, as is theonering.net. There are hundreds out there. A good Orli one is orlandocentral.net. I thoroughly recommend it! 

Thanks for reviewing, and I hope you like the last chapter. ^_^

Gwyn- Obviously elfslash! Nothing else! I quite like Legolas/Haldir myself. ^_^

Kitsune- Glad you liked it. ^_^

Idril Miriel- Was this chapter up soon enough for you? I'm glad you're liking the story, and thank you for reviewing.


Chapter 26: Time Goes On.

(Imladris, 20 years later.)

Elrohir sat under a tall willow by the river, reading a book. Elladan was on a practice field; training for his archery test, and Arwen was in her room with her friends, having ' a girls afternoon'. So Elrohir had an afternoon to himself. He knew he should be practising his archery too, but he basically couldn't be bothered.

He was reading a book on the tale of the Fall of Gondolin. Unlike his brother, who was more interested in learning the different languages of the world, he liked to learn about the history of Middle-Earth and her people.

Since the incident with the Dagnir-o Lóre, his life had slowed down. He never went out riding as much as he used to, and the amount of archery he did had dwindled down to just a couple of times a week. Legolas would be ashamed of him! He was calmer than before the attack, and enjoyed relaxing out in the gardens with a good book rather than his bow and arrows.

He and Dolenmíl had been writing to each other religiously for the past twenty years, but she hadn't replied for a while. He was slightly hurt by this, as she always replied instantly, and it had been quite a while since he had written.

He sighed and put the book down. The willow leaves brushed against his face, tickling his soft skin. He smiled at the gentle touch, and brushed one out of his eyes. He leant back against the trunk and shut his eyes. He sighed blissfully. This was the type of life he liked to live; relaxing and easy.

Silence. Just the whisper of the wind in the trees around him. Then…

"Got you!" cried two or more voices. He started, trying to jump to his feet, but found he was being held down. Hands covered his eyes and mouth, preventing him from seeing whom his 'attackers' were.

"Hush now, little Prince," whispered a familiar, soothing voice. He stopped struggling, recognising the voice. The hand over his mouth was removed.

"Legs?"

His eyes were then uncovered, and crouched before him, sure enough, was the Prince of Mirkwood, grinning at him.

"You git!" Elrohir shouted, lunging at him. Legolas laughed, and jumped to his feet, Elrohir chasing after him.

"Ah hem," said someone, clearing their throat.

Legolas stopped in his tracks and Elrohir collided into him. He looked over at the tree, and his jaw nearly hit the floor.

Dolenmíl stood there, hands on hips, one eyebrow raised. A young Elf-maiden stood beside her, the exact same expression on her face. Golden tresses that reached almost to the middle of her back framed her fair face. She had startling blue eyes, and she looked scarily like Legolas. 

"Elrohir, may I introduce you to my younger sister, Celeblaith," Legolas said, breaking the rather awkward silence.

Celeblaith curtseyed. "It is a pleasure to meet you my Lord." She smiled at him.

"As it is you my Lady," he replied, coming to his senses and bowing in return. "Lady Dolenmíl," he continued, looking at her. She smiled at him. "Yes my Lord?"
"I had heard news of my friend coming some time soon, and the possibility that his younger sibling would be accompanying him, but I did not hear anything of you also coming."

"It was a bit of a last-minute decision my Lord."
"Well, it is wonderful to see you again."
"And you my Lord."

"Where's Dan?" Legolas asked, dropping all formality.

"Main archery field, practising."

"I am guessing that you should also be there." Elrohir made a face. "Can't be bothered."
"Elrohir, I am ashamed of you!" Elrohir grinned, remembering his earlier thoughts.

"What is so funny?"
"Nothing Legs, nothing."

"Come on Cel, let's go and find him." He led his younger sister away, winking at Elrohir. He just stuck his tongue out in response. He then turned to Dolenmíl. She smiled warmly at him.

"I've missed you," he whispered, walking over to her and stroking her cheek.

"And I you," she replied, taking his other hand. He leant forward, and they kissed.

From their hiding position in the bushes, Legolas, Celeblaith, and Elladan grinned. Elrohir was finally with the woman he truly loved. They turned away to walk back to the House.

"What did happen to that Íríma girl anyway?" Legolas asked.

"She moved to Lothlórien just after you left. Haven't heard from her since," Elladan answered.
"Good, all she ever did was ruin Elrohirs' life."
"Who?" Celeblaith piped up. Legolas slipped his arm round her slender shoulders. 

"No one important, don't worry."

They walked back to the House together, going over old times and tales, arms linked.


So, that's it! All done! How was that ending then? Good, bad, excellent, awful? Not the last I hope! ^_^

Please review, and I'll be along with a new story very soon. Also, don't forget about Fair Flowers Never Fade. That is a Legomance, but quite a bit different to your usual Legomances. If you haven't read it yet, please go and do so. Thank you! ^_^
