Lindahoyland: No need to miss my story yet! There's still this (very short) chapter to read!

Irish Anor: Glad you enjoyed it!

Strider's Girl: Hey, I remembered you this time as well! Thanks for your review.

Aragorn waits for Arwen: Only one more chapter to come, and this one is really short, unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed it, anyway.

Lady Urquentha: Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Malara: I think I'll leave Aragorn's reaction to your imagination. This chapter is only really tying up the loose ends.

OK, this is the last chapter. It is very short, but it is only an epilogue. I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed this story and particularly those who do it regularly. Even if you don't usually, please drop a review for this chapter. It can be as little as one or two words, although the longer the better.

START OF CHAPTER

A few months later, things were getting back to normal. Arwen, Arentiel and Éowyn had become inseparable and each had learned much from the others.

It was a warm day in early autumn, and the three friends were sat around under the white tree. A few stray leaves drifted down from the branches.

"I thought you would be in council, Arwen," Éowyn said after a while.

"I don't go there any more. It's obvious most of the councillors think it is forgetting my place to go there. It is unwise to anger them."

"What does the King Elessar say?"

Arwen sighed. "He is constantly begging me to go. He thinks that his advisors would eventually accept me. But it is so humiliating to be constantly put down by them that I would rather not bother."

"Perhaps this is out of my place," began Arentiel, "but I think you should go. After all, the advisors who were bothering you are no longer there."

Arwen smiled. "Perhaps you are right, but I think I will grant myself a short holiday before I return," she said, her eyes glinting mischievously.

"Arwen!" Éowyn exclaimed, feigning shock. "I hardly think that is proper behaviour for a queen."

"Actually, didn't Aragorn ask you to exercise his horse for him today?"

Éowyn nodded guiltily. "You caught me."

Laughing, the three women left the courtyard to go for a ride.

THE END

Now remember to review! :)
