Chapter 46

Somewhere two friends met again basked in a light so bright neither could open their eyes fully. All the pain was gone, the hurt of the past few days vanished as did the lingering memories of all the pain and suffering they had ever known. Their hearts once again light and free. Never had they known such feelings.

"I never knew it would be so beautiful." Estel said looking to his friend. As he searched his friend's face he saw none of the scars of the past.

"Aye my friend it is indeed" Legolas said as he too looked at his friend. The innocence of childhood once again lighting up his face.

"Legolas I am afraid" Estel muttered as he looked at the tall looming archway.

"Come take my hand we shall go together. You will never be alone again Estel

Estel grabbed Legolas' hand and they walked through the archway. What they saw on the other side was amazing. They stood in a meadow filled with flowers of every color of the rainbow. Estel stood in wonder, but he was soon pulled from his trance as Legolas dragged him on, running through the field laughing as he went. Finally collapsing down in the grass Legolas breathed in, filling his lungs with the sweet smells of the meadow.

"Will we see anyone else Legolas? If so where are they?"

"That my friend I do not have the answer to." They were at once silenced as another blinding light was coming across the meadow. It was moving right for them and yet neither was afraid.

Two figures were approaching. A man with dark hair and a woman, not just any woman but the most beautiful Estel had ever seen. Her flowing white gown complimented the flawless beauty of her face.

Estel did not know who this woman was until he saw the look on Legolas' face. Legolas stopped and turned. He then ran as fast as the wind toward the woman. She held out her hands for him and he jumped into her arms. "Amme!" he said as he laid his head upon her shoulder.

"My son you do not know the joy it brings me to see you once again." she said as she hugged him tightly. Estel stood just staring at the two he had never seen Legolas so happy. He was shocked when the lady turned and looked at him.

"Estel do not be afraid, come child." and a soft hand grasped his. Estel took her hand and let her lead him. He felt totally safe even though he did not know the man she was leading him to. Estel looked up at the man as he smiled down on him and before he could even ponder who he might be the man hugged him so hard he was lifted right off the ground.

"Do you know me Estel?

Estel shook his head. You look like one of the rangers I saw once.

"Aye I knew your mother well. I see she has raised a fine young man."

Both Estel and Legolas were happy. None of the evils of the world existed here and they wished to stay forever. Here was only peace and happiness.

A/N: Yes it is UBER short but the last one is a bit longer and I thought of ASTALDER27 and BRILOVER and their hatred of shortness when I wrote the new fic and made the chappies longgggggg for them!
