Last chapter :) Calenorë's story continues in her self titled story. And I will do a followup chapter for reviews.

Aragorn made a cream out of Athelas and other healing herbs and rub it onto the gash. Frodo cried out in pain from Aragorn touching it. Once the cream was applied, Aragorn rebandaged the wound and laid Frodo onto his back. As Aragorn rolled him over Frodo cried out again from the pressure being put on the it.

Aragorn then moved to check Frodo's abdomen. He hadn't seen the incision that Calenorë had made but he knew that it would be clean cut and well tended to. He gently unbandaged it and looked over the incision. It was about 5 inches long and only an inch under Frodo's rib cage. It neatly sewed and cleaned. But it was inflamed and it was starting to become infected. Aragorn gently applied the same cream he used o Frodo's back to it and rebandaged it. "I'll have to keep a close eye on your wounds for the next couple days. The have become mildly infected, but hopefully I have caught it early enough so that it shouldn't get any worse," Aragorn explained kindly before he left. Frodo tried to stay awake and wait for Sam to get up but he was so exhausted. He soon fell back asleep and slept for most of the afternoon. "Mr.
Frodo, wake up, I've brought you something to eat," Sam said as he stood at the end of Frodo's bed. Frodo slowly woke up and pulled himself into a sitting position.

"Thank you Sam," Frodo said as he took the plate and started to nibble on a piece of bread but he put it down when the nauseous feeling over took him. "Your welcome Mr. Frodo. Calenorë said that she would stop in and check on you once you were awake," Sam told him. Frodo handed the plate back to Sam when he was finished. He hardly ate anything but, then again, he never did. Sam left to take the plate back and after he left Calenorë walked in.

"Are you feeling better?," Calenorë asked as she sat down in Sam's chair beside the bed. "A little," Frodo replied quietly. "Have you been able to eat anything?," Calenorë asked, remembering his appendix. "I tried to eat some bread but it made me feel nauseous," he replied. "I'm really sorry for not rescuing you sooner. If I did the maybe they wouldn't have tortured you as much," Calenorë told him, still feeling guilty about what had happened. " As I said before Calenorë, there was nothing you could have done," Frodo said sympathetically. "I just-," Calenorë started but stooped when Frodo put his hand on her knee.

"It's all right Calenorë, you did what you could and I'm grateful for that. If you hadn't of came at all, I might not have made it," Frodo told her sadly. "Hannon le Frodo, I'm sorry to despair," Calenorë replied to him. "Your welcome Calenorë," Frodo said quietly before he winced in pain. "Easy Frodo, your wounds haven't closed yet and I don't want you to make then worse just to comfort me," Calenorë said sincerely. "I'm al-," Frodo started but stopped when he was racked with a fit of coughs. After he coughed a few times he brought up blood. "Hold on Frodo," Calenorë said as she ran out of his room. She quickly got Aragorn and brought him back. "Easy Frodo," Aragorn said as he patted Frodo's back to ease the coughing.
He cleaned up the blood and put a clean shirt on Frodo.

"Try to take it easy and not aggravate you injuries again," told him. "I'll try but the coughing happened do suddenly that there was nothing that I could do," Frodo explained as he caught his breath. "Aragorn, did you check Frodo's mouth when you looked over his injuries?," Calenorë asked, remembering the gag Frodo had in his mouth when she found him. "No, why?," Aragorn asked curiously. "When I found him, he had a spiked gag in his mouth and it made his mouth bleed. That blood may have been from his mouth," Calenorë explained.

Frodo opened his mouth slowly and Aragorn checked it. Indeed, there were scabs on the roof of his mouth and some of the were open and bleeding. "Here Frodo, put this in you mouth until it stops bleeding," Aragorn said as he handed Frodo a cloth. Frodo gingerly placed the cloth up against the roof of his mouth and held it there for a while.; Finally the bleeding subsided and he took the cloth from his mouth. "If it starts to bleed again just have Sam come and get me or Calenorë," Aragorn told him. Frodo nodded back to him before he left.

Frodo sat in silence for a while, just absorbing the pain radiating from his injuries, until finally he couldn't withhold it and he winced out loud. "Frodo, what's wrong?," Calenorë asked, concerned by Frodo's obvious pain. "My back i-is throbbing," Frodo told her as he lurched forward and grasped his abdomen in pain. "Here," Calenorë said as she handed him a cup of Athelas tea that she quickly poured. "Ha-hannon L-le," Frodo said painfully as he drank the tea and laid back down. As the tea started to kick in, a wave of refreshment and relaxation passed over Frodo. "Feel better now?," Calenorë asked. "Umm Hmmm," Frodo mumbled as his eyes slipped closed and he fell into a peaceful sleep.

Calenorë stayed by Frodo's side and eventually fell asleep in her chair. When she awoke, Frodo was still resting peacefully, Sam had come in and sat down next to her. "Good Mornin' Lady Calenorë," Sam said politly. "Good morning Sam," she replied to him. "This is the most sleep Mr. Frodo's gotten since we came back," Sam said remebering all of the horrible things Frodo had been through. "It's nice to finally see him relaxed and away from all of the pain," Calenorë said as she reflected on her own memory's. "What happened to his shoulder Sam? When I found him there was a nasty scar on it," Calenorë asked.

"He was stabbed by a Ringwraith. He almost didn't make it, but Lord Elrond healed him and helped him recover," Sam explained. "I feel so bad for him, he's been through so much and it doesn't seem as if he'll ever get a break," Sam said with a depressive sigh.

"He'll get better Sam, give him some time. After all he's been through it will take a while for him to get better and some of his injuries may never heal," Calenorë told him sincerely. "I hope some of them get better," Sam said,
witholding the tears that were forming in his eyes. "He'll get better Sam, he'll get better," Calenorë comforted him. "Thank you Calenorë," Sam said as a single tear fell down his cheek. "Your welcome Sam," Calenorë comforted him as she wiped it away.
"Sam?," Frodo said groggily as he woke up. "What is it Mr. Frodo?," Sam asked as he stood and walked over to his bedside. "Nothing, I just wanted to know if you were still here," Frodo said. "Are you eyes any better?," Calenorë asked. "Not really. I still can't see much," Frodo replied, obviously frustrated by his current condition.

"They should get better quickly, its just brusing," Calenorë explained to him. "I hope so," he replied sadly. Theough out the day everyone popped in and out of Frodo's room to check on him. "How are you feeling Frodo?," Legolas asked as he came in to check on him. "Better," he told him solemly. Frodo couldn't see very well and really wasn't even aware that Legolas was sitting next to him. "I just came in to see how you were doing. I haven't seen you since you seperated from us on Amon Hen," Legolas told him. "A lot of people have been in to see me, but I can't even see them," Frodo said with a depressive sigh.
"Your eyes will heal in no time, its your other wounds that will take longer," Legolas explained to him. "Hannon le Legolas," Frodo told him kindly. "Your welcome Frodo. I will come in and check on you later," Legolas said before he left the room.
Alone again, Frodo couldn't help but fall asleep. He slept soundly until Aragorn came in and woke him up to check over his wounds.

Aragorn removed the bandages from each wounds, checked over it and then rebandaged it. "The inflamation has gone down and the infection has cleared up, so if your up to it, you should be able to get out of bed for a short time," Aragorn explained to him. Aragorn slowly helped Frodo up out of the bed. As he stood Frodo held on to aragorn tightly while he gathered his senses. "Are you alright?," Aragorn asked concerened by the tight grip. "I-i'm fine, I just haven't been up in a while," Frodo replied shakily. "That's understandable but are you in any pain?," Aragorn asked sincerely.
"Not any more than I was in before," he replied solemly. Aragorn sat Frodo back down, very concerened about his present condition. "Try to stay off your feet as much as possible, your still in no condition to be up yet," Aragorn explained.
"Alright Aragorn," Frodo replied painfully as he sat back down in bed and swung his legs up onto it. "If your in any more pain, please tell me Frodo. I don;t want you to suffer needlessly," Aragorn said sincerely. Frodo nodded back to Aragorn before he left the room.

Alone again in silence Frodo thought about theevents of the last year. About everything that had happened to his quest and what happened to the others. He realized how fortunate he was that he survived through it all. And he remebered all of the times in which he didn't hink he would make it. Everytime somehting like that would happen, someone was there to lift his spirits or take care of him.

Wether it be Sam or Aragorn or Legolas, every member of the Fellowship had helped him during the quest in some way and in a way they were all eternally bound to each other by both love and friendship. "How are you feeling Mr. Frodo?," Sam asked, breaking Frodo from his reverie. 'A little better Sam," Frodo replied happily. "Good Mr. Frodo," Sam replied as he came futher in and sat down. "I think Calenorë might come in later," Sam told him. And just as Sam had finished saying that Calenorë walked into the room.

"Suliad Frodo," she said polietly as she sat down next to Sam. "Suliad Calenorë," Frodo replied a little weakly. "I heard that you were doing better so I came to see for myself," Calenorë told Frodo kindly. He smiled back to her and pulled his covers off of him. "Hullo Frodo!," Merry said as he came in as well. "Word spreads around hear like wild fire," Frodo said with a chuckle. " I couldn't not come and see my favorite cousin," Merry replied to him.

All four of them sat and talked for a while about what had happened to each other an what they planned to do.Calenorë told them her story and all of the hobbits were quite interested about her life in Lothlorien and what her syblings were like. Calenorë told them about her sister Filenorë and her father Anarorë. "I should leave, you need your rest Frodo," Calenorë said politly, knowing Frodo was still injured and needed his rest. Frodo nodded back to her and she quietly left. Not soon after sh left, everyone else followed suit and returned to their rooms as well. Frodo slept soundly as he had the night before and was awoken by Aragorn in the morning. "Has you back bothered you at all?," Aragorn asked as he came in.

"A little, but not much," he replied softly. Aragorn gently unbandaged Frodo's back and his smile spread from ear to ear. The wound had almost completely closed and the infection and inflamation had disappered. "Your back wound is almost completely healed Frodo," Aragorn said, his voice dripping with happiness. Aragorn gently rebandage his back and then undandaged his abdomne to check the incision.

That wound had completely closed and was only a scar now. Aragorn removed the old bandages and threw them away. "Only a scar left now," Aragorn said with a smile. Frodo smiled back to him and sighed with content.
Aragorn then chacked over the stinger mark from Shelob. The small wound that was there had long since closed, but the skin around it was slightly bruised and discolored. "Your wounds are much better then they were Frodo. Would you like to try and get up and out of bed fro a while?," Aragorn asked him. "I'll try," Frodo said, determined not to fail this time. Aragorn helped him rise from the bed and walk over to the chair. He was a little bit wobbly, but much better then he had been yesterday. "Do you want to go outside?," Aragorn asked when he saw Frodo gazing out of the little window on the other side of the room. 'I would like that," Frodo replied softly.

Aragorn escorted Frodo outside to the Citidal and made sure that he didn;t collapse on thier way there. The birds were singing, a soft breeze blew throughout the Citidel annd the sun shined as they walked overto the fountain. "Hullo Mr. Frodo! It's wonderful to see you up and about finally," Sam said as he scurried up beside them. "It's nice to be out Sam," Frodo said as he held his injured hand to his abdomen. Aragorn had ceck over his hand and found that it was healing, but not as fast as his other wounds had. "it's such a wonderful day. I missed the outdoors so muhc while I was stuck in bed," Frodo said peacefully. "This really is the nicest it has been since we came back Mr. Frodo," Sam replied to him. Frodo smiled and returned his hand to his side. Aragorn, Frodo, and Sam sat in by the waterfall for a while and talked until finally Frodo began to get tired. Aragorn helped Frodo back into bed and Sam sat by Frodo's bedside thar entire night. The days passed and with each day Frodo slowly got better and a little happier.

After Aragorn's coronation Frodo stayed in Gondor for a few years. Calenorë stayed as well. Nearing the end of the fourth year that Frodo had been in Gondor he left with the other hobbits and returned tp the Shire. Once they had restored peace within the Shire Frodo lived a few peaceful years in the Shire. But he slowly began to drop out of events and normal Shire life all together. The time was nearing when Frodo would leave and sail over to Valinor.And soon that day did come. Sam and Frodo left for the shores. Sam didn't have a clue that his master would be leaving but hat was how Frodo wanted it. Sam could not be torn in two. He has a life in the Shire and a life that he will have for many years. As they came to the shores with gandalf and Bilbo they saw Galdrial, Elrond and Celeborn.

As they borded onto the ship Gandalf turned to Frodo and said, "It is time Frodo." Merry, Pippin and Sam were confused and shocked by thisas the tears fell from their eyes. "But Mr. Frodo-," Sam started but Frodo stopped him and said, "We set out to save the Shire Sam, and it was been saved....... but not for me." Frodo said as he handed the Red Book to Sam. Frodo had written the entire journey down in that book and there was still a little room for more. Frodo hugged everyone that wasn't going, and he hugged Sam last. He stepped back, laid his hand on Sam's shoulder and said, "Goodbye does not mean forever, we will meet again." Frodo then turned and walked onto the ship. With one last step, he turned and nodded to them before the ship sailed off into the sunset.

Calenorë headed back to Lothlorien, not knowing that Legolas and Aragorn were headed there as well.
