Epilogue: One month later
He kneeled before the small white statue staring at the inscriptions upon it. The wind blew throught the trees sending leaves blowing upon the soft stone. The only sound was their gentle rustling and the distant thunder from a storm. Time slowed down. He looked once again upon the statue. It was of an Elf maiden. Her hair and gown were blowing in the wind. Her arms were slightly raised as was her face to the sky. She was smiling and her eyes were closed. But he knew if the statue were alive, the eys would be of the prettiest blue he had ever seen.
Legolas put his slightly scarred hand on the cold stone cheek. He looked down upon the name inscribed near the bottom. Nilavar. His eyes watered. She had died shortly after he had left Rivendell on the quest to destroy the one ring. He had placed the blame upon himself. But then her words came back to him from the dungeon and he knew he had to let it go. He had to move on in his life. If she were still alive, Nilavar would not have him do otherwise.
He missed her with all his heart. But he knew she was still there. He could feel her all around him. He would see her again. When? Only time would tell him. But until then he had made a vow to live his life to it's fullest. He wiped a tear away and kissed his fingers and placed them upon the statues lips. Suddenly, rain broke away from the clouds and gently fell to the ground. His fingers felt oddly warm where he had placed them on the statue. The rain splashed off of the statue and he could have sworn he heard the echo of a familiar laugh.
Yes, she certainly was watching over him. She had when he was captured and he had a feeling she would always be there for him when he really needed her. He knew though he would only see her again when they met each other in the Halls of Mandos. She had filled him with hope. And he made sure he would never lose it. His soul shown brightly through his eyes as it would for the rest of his life. She had saved him. She had been his hope in the darkness.
