Legolas awoke later that evening with a heavy chest. Looking over to his side, he saw Aragorn curled up against him. The human would not budge when Legolas shook him gently.
The Elf signed and tried to fight this despairing feeling in his heart before he shut his eyes again and let sleep overtake him.
Joyce was looking out towards the sea. She closed her eyes, once again asking herself if she had made the right choice.
She was still dazed by everything that had happened.
She opened her eyes when she heard the silent footfall of Elrond. The Elven-Lord stopped next to her but did not speak.
"What is it that you came for?" Joyce asked her foster-father.
"To see if you were alright, little one." Elrond answered softly.
Joyce looked at him with a sad smile and said. "What do you think?"
He did not speak but instead but his hand on her shoulder and said. "It will be alright. Legolas will not fade, your hold is still too strong on him. Your love and his friends and family will keep him going until he will be coming."
"What if Aragorn and Arwen die?" Joyce asked him.
"He will sail then and we will all be reunited." Elrond said through Joyce could detect the sad undertone in his voice.
Joyce nodded to him and then closed her eyes again. For the first time since she had died, the tears falling from her eyes.
She felt Elrond pressing her against him before he said. "It is alright, you will see them all again, I promise. Oh, my little one, it is not much that we could do for you but we would not keep him from you, not when you have done do much for us."
Joyce hugged the acient Elf and she felt him return the hug before she let go with sign. The years would be long on the both of them before they could finaly be reunited again in the evergreen land of Valinor.
Aragorn awoke the next morning to find Legolas that moved closer to him. The old king signed and got up to look out the window.
He felt the old pain again. His time was coming and end, maybe not in the next 5 years or so but it would soon be all over. He did not know what Legolas was going to do then or Arwen for that matter.
He turned around when he heard his friend move. "Morning, Legolas." Aragorn said.
Legolas looked up. His blue eyes were dull and red from crying. He took in the appearance of his friend. Aragorn's hair was pure white now and his face finally seemed to show his age. He moved more like an old men and Legolas knew that his age was finaly catching up with him
"Morning, Strider." Legolas answered.
Aragorn managed a weak smile at his old nickname. "I trust you slept well."
Legolas nodded and began talking about her without anything that Aragorn said. "I miss her. I don't know what I have to do. I am so angry at her and yet I cannot live without her. But do you know what the weird thing is?"
Aragorn shook his head and Legolas continued. "I was kind of expecting this. I could never see her sailing West with me. But then again I can never image me being separated from the Fellowship. I don't know but I have this strange feeling as if we are not going to be separated forever but just travel a different path for a little while before we all come together again."
Aragorn sat down next to him and said. "Joyce will not leave without you, Mellon-Nin. She loves you too much for that. You have not found her just to be separated from her again."
Legolas nodded and stood up before he said. "I think I will have to check up on the children, don't you think?"
The next minute Daug and Aranel came running into the room and bounced on their father. Legolas caught both his children in his arms and gave them a big hug before he said. "You know I love you, don't you, children?"
They both nodded and said. "We love you too, Ada."
Alantariel came walking into the room. Legolas looked up and smiled at her. She looked so much like Joyce. Yet it did not hurt him but made him love them both more.
"Ada, when you go West, can we come with you?" She asked silently.
Legolas smiled again and said. "If that is what you want, then yes of course you can."
All three of his children nodded and said. "Yes, we want to see all the people Naneth and you told us about." Before the rushed out of the room again and went for breakfast.
Legolas looked at Aragorn and hugged his best friend before he said. "Thank you, Estel. I will have to face the rest alone I guess."
Aragorn shook his head and said. "No Legolas, You are never alone."
Legolas nodded and knew he would never be alone in spirit.
