Chapter 71: Revenge is Sweet and Goodbyes

Amaris reached Elrohir's room first and quietly made her way inside. She gave a wicked smile when she saw that he was still asleep. Amaris quietly made her way into the washroom off his chambers and began to put her plan into action. Once she was finished she quickly made her way from his room and into Elladan's room and washroom. Amaris had formulated a plan to pay back her brothers if they did anything and as she closed Elladan's bedroom door she laughed quietly to herself. When she turned around she nearly jumped from her skin when she saw Arwen standing there with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Amairs. What are you doing?" Arwen asked quietly as she saw the sparkle in her sister's eye. Amaris motioned for Arwen to follow her and she did. They walked down the corridor towards Amaris' and Legolas' room.

"Good morning, Arwen. Well, as you know Legolas and I left the celebration early last night and-" Arwen laughed quietly interrupting her.

"That we all know. King Thranduil seemed to be the only one who knew where you two were but he would not tell a soul." Amaris smiled.

"Legolas has a secret talan in the forest. He took me there last night. It is our retreat for privacy and no one shall ever bother us there unless it is an emergency." Arwen gave her sister a knowing smile and urged her to continue with her story. "Anyway, when Legolas and I returned to his chambers the room was a mess and on the bed was a note that said 'Welcome to the family.' I knew the twins were going to do something so I came up with a plan of my own for revenge if they did anything." Arwen nodded.

"What did you do?" Amaris smiled and shook her head.

"You will see at the morning meal. In fact, everyone shall see soon." Arwen chuckled and followed Amaris into Legolas' chambers. They found Legolas there talking with a few maids who had amused expressions on their faces as they looked at the room. Arwen's jaw nearly hit the floor.

"Oh, dear. Amaris, I hope you plan is sufficient enough." Amaris chuckled.

"I think it is." Legolas finished speaking to the maids and walked over to Amaris and Arwen. He took Amaris' hand and smiled at Arwen.

"Good morning Arwen. How are you today?" he asked as he smiled at her.

"I am well," Arwen said and smiled as she watched Legolas' attention move from her to Amaris. She chuckled and shook her head.

"Tell me, Amaris, what did you do to your brothers?" Legolas asked as a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Amaris smiled innocently and shook her head.

"You shall see, Legolas. You shall see," Amaris said with a smile and Legolas raised an eyebrow.

"Come, let us go and eat," Arwen said. Amaris and Legolas looked at her and nodded. They left the room as the maids worked on getting it back in order and headed down for breakfast.


Arwen, Aragorn, Gimli, the hobbits, Amaris, Legolas, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir, and King Thranduil sat at the table enjoying breakfast and small talk. Suddenly, the doors burst open to reveal a very angry Elladan and Elrohir. All eyes turned to the pair and everyone broke into fits of laughter. Amaris sat there with a smug smile on her face as she looked at her brothers. She had gotten a green dye from the seamstress and added some to Elrohir and Elladan's bath oils and soaps. Their once cream colored skin was now a very light shade of green and it seemed to match their emotions perfectly. "Good morning Elladan, Elrohir. Did you sleep well?" Amaris asked as she took a bite of her fruit. They glared at her and took their seats. Everyone was quietly laughing now but returned to their breakfasts, except for one.

"Elladan, what happened? Why are you both green?" Pippin asked causing the rest of them to burst into laughter once more. King Thranduil stood and excused himself from the dining hall stating he had some matters he needed to attend to but he could be heard laughing as he left the room. Elladan looked at Amaris.

"That question Pippin, would be best answered by a certain princess," Elladan said and Amaris smiled at him. Pippin looked at Amaris and furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Pippin, if you must know Elladan and Elrohir pulled a prank on Legolas and myself last night while we were away from the palace and as revenge I pulled a prank on them," Amaris said with a smile. All tired to stifle their laughter but every time someone would look at one of the twins, they would chuckle causing more laughter to spread across the group. Legolas looked at Amaris and smiled.

"You are very wicked," Legolas said through their link. Amaris looked at him and returned his smile.

"Thank you," Amairs replied before she leaned over and kissed him quickly and returned to her breakfast.


They day passed quickly and everyone had a good time just enjoying the day and their time together, and too soon for everyone's liking the sun made its way over the horizon and the moon shined bright. Elrohir and Elladan were no longer angry with Amaris when they went to bed when she gave them some dye free soap and told them that the dye should be almost completely faded by the next day. Amaris stood leaning over her balcony staring out into the trees. The darkness that once covered Mirkwood was nearly gone but the giant spiders remained, however, they stayed clear of the villages. She sighed as she felt familiar strong arms wrap around her tight. "What are you doing out here, Amaris?" Legolas whispered gently through her hair.

"Just looking out over the trees," Amaris said as she moved her hands to rest on Legolas'. "I'm going to miss them." Legolas turned her around so she was facing him. He caressed her cheek and smiled at her.

"I know you will but we will see them when we can and we shall send letters to one another. All will be well." Amaris smiled and nodded. She embraced him and he wrapped his arms around her. She rested her head against his chest and took a deep breath. Legolas rubbed her back and kissed the top of her head. "Let us go to bed, Amaris. It is late and everyone leaves the hour after the dawn. We do not want to miss saying goodbye." Amaris nodded and looked up at him. He picked her up bridal style and Amaris laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her into her room.

Legolas sat her down beside the bed and removed her circlet from her head and placed it on her dressing table. Amaris smiled at him as he walked back over to her with his tunic untied and his circlet removed. He reached around her and untied her gown, just like he had done in the talan. Amaris smiled at him and stopped his hands before he slipped the loosened gown from her shoulders. "I want to wash up before bed." She rose up and kissed him lightly before walking towards the washroom. She looked back at him and smiled. "I'll be out in a little while. Get some sleep." Amaris walked into the washroom and closed the door. Legolas sighed and flopped down on the bed. He looked at the closed door and smiled before he quickly stood and made his way to the washroom to join his wife in the bath.


The sun had risen and Amairs was sad. Her sister and dear friend were leaving and would be wed soon and she wasn't able to attend their unions because Legolas was unable to leave Mirkwood for some time and she did not want to go without him. Amaris was braiding her hair while Legolas dressed in the washroom. She had decided to wear a soft blue and pale yellow gown. It was the soft blue with the pale yellow in the underskirts that showed as she walked and she wore soft blue slippers. Legolas soon came out dressed in his blue silver tunic and black leggings and boots. He wore his circlet and smiled as he watched Amaris place hers on her head.

"You truly are a beautiful princess, meleth nîn," Legolas said as he stood behind her and ran his fingers through the loose part of her hair. She smiled at him and shook her head as she stood.

"Thank you, Legolas." She kissed him when there was a knock on their door. "Enter!" The door opened and there stood Merry and Pippin.

"We came to get you so we could all say good bye. We're getting ready to leave," Merry said with a sad smile. Pippin nodded with a slight smile as well.

"Alright, we shall join you," Amaris said as Legolas linked her arm with his and they followed Merry and Pippin out. As they walked Pippin gave Amaris a sad look and Amaris became concerned. "What is it Pippin?"

"Nothing really, it is just that we're going to miss you," Pippin said. Legolas smiled and understood completely. Amaris smiled and gently patted Pippin's shoulder as they walked.

"I am going to miss you all as well, but we shall see each other again. However, if we don't we can always write to one another," Amaris said as she smiled at the young hobbit. Pippin's face broke into a smile. Amaris looked at Merry who was smiling brightly at her and all she could do was return his smile. Soon, they were outside and Amaris let go of Legolas and rushed to Eowyn and Arwen. "Oh, I am going to miss you both so much." Amaris embraced Eowyn then Arwen. They elf and woman laughed and nodded in agreement. "I wish I could be there for your weddings as well, but I do not want to travel without Legolas and well, he can't leave Mirkwood for a while." She gave them a sad smile but they smiled brightly at her.

"Do not worry sister. I know you will be with us both in spirit," Arwen said as she hugged Amaris once more. Eowyn nodded in agreement.

"That is true. I shall be wearing the cream wrap you gave me as part of my gown and I know you will be with me," Eowyn said as she smiled at Amaris.

"And I shall be wearing the crystal pin you gave me in my hair. You shall be with me as well," Arwen said. Amaris nodded and wiped the tear that escaped her eye.

"I will see you both soon," Amaris said as she hugged them one last time and walked over towards the four hobbits that stood chatting. "Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin I shall miss each and every one of you dearly." She kneeled down and hugged them all but she hugged Frodo last. "How are you feeling Frodo?" Amaris asked. She knew he still had trouble with his shoulder and she worried about him. Frodo smiled at her.

"I am fine. It aches sometimes but I shall be alright," Frodo said. Amaris nodded and smiled and saw Sam looking blissfully into the trees.

"How has Sam been doing in courting Rosie?" Frodo's eyes went wide.

"How did you know?" Amaris laughed and nodded towards Merry and Pippin.

"Those two. They would be quiet about how all he did now was either work in the gardens or sit at the Green Dragon and talk with Rosie as she worked." Frodo laughed.

"He is doing well. He had never been happier for as long as I have known him." Amaris smiled.

"Take care Frodo." With one final hug she left the hobbits and walked over to Gimli, Eomer, Faramir.

"Princess Amaris, you look lovely this morning!" Gimli said with a smile on his face. Amaris rolled her eyes.

"Please Gimli! I may have a title now but I am still the same woman, well elleth, that you have known all this time," Amaris said as she embraced him tightly. He hugged her back and she sighed. "I shall miss you Gimli. You will return to Mirkwood won't you?"

"Aye lass. I'll be back to visit you and the elf soon," Gimli said with a twinkle in his eye. Amaris nodded and turned to the two men.

"Well, I shall miss you both dearly," Amaris said as she first hugged Faramir who still seem a little unaccustomed to the gesture but was improving and then she hugged Eomer. "You shall rule Rohan well, Eomer. If I know you as half as well as I think I do, you shall make an wonderful king." Eomer smiled and hugged her once more.

"Thank you Amaris," Eomer said quietly and she pulled away from him. She smiled at him before she looked at Faramir.

"Take care of my friend. I know you are a good man Faramir, otherwise she would not have fallen for you," Amaris said to him as she stepped to him. He smiled down at her and nodded.

"I plan to, Amaris. I will not let you down," Faramir said with smile. Amaris smiled at her and shook her head as she hugged him once more.

"Take care," she said before she walked over to the final three people she had to say goodbye to. Legolas was already talking with them and she was glad to see that Elrohir and Elladan were less green then they were the day before. They saw her approach and smiled at her. Elladan stepped up first. She smiled at him and he returned the smile as he embraced her.

"I shall miss you Amaris. Even though you dyed my skin green," he said as he hugged her tight.

"You deserved it as did Elrohir," she said as they pulled apart. "However, I will miss you as well." He smiled and kissed her forehead and left to mount his horse. Elrohir was next and he hugged her tight. "I will miss you Elrohir." He smiled as they pulled away.

"I shall miss you as well, but we shall see each other soon," he said then he kissed her forehead and followed his twin to mount his horse. Aragorn was last and she rushed to him and embraced him tighter than she had anyone else. Aragorn laughed quietly and placed his left hand on the back of her head as she held him tight. Once she pulled away she had tears in her eyes.

"Do not cry, Amaris," Aragorn said as he wiped away a tear from her cheek.

"I'm sorry. I'm just going to miss all of you terribly and. . . I hate saying good bye," Amaris said as she looked at her brother. He smiled at her and hugged her once more.

"Then don't say good bye." Amaris smiled and returned his hug. They pulled away and Amaris smiled at him.

"No Anor sílatha na râd lîn (may the sun shine upon your path). Nan lû i agovaded vîn (until next we meet)," Amaris said as she looked up at Aragorn. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead and turned to mount his horse. Legolas walked over to her and embraced her before wrapping one arm around her waist and turned to fast the others. Everyone waived and turned their horses. Legolas and Amaris stood and watched as their horses made their way down the path and slowly out of the forest of Mirkwood.
