I am sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been busy with other things. Anyway, I think it's time to go on with the show. By the way, I don't own Lord of the Rings.

Chapter Two

Legolas stood up and helped me to my feet. Then he gave out a low whistle in a tune I had never heard before. Then I heard the sound of hooves. I looked to my right and coming towards us was a horse. It stopped in front of Legolas and nuzzled his chest with its muzzle. "We should go to the Valar and figure out what is to happen to you," said Legolas. I was sure that it was obvious what was to happen to me here. What I wanted to know was what was to happen to me back in the my own world.

We reached the city of the Valar. As we drew closer to the gate, a guard met us. "The Valar are waiting for you in the palace. I am to escort you to their meeting," he said. So, we followed him to the meeting of the Valar. All of them were there waiting for us patiently. Manwe stood when we reached the middle of the room.

Manwe turned towards me and said, "Welcome to our world Aurora. I know you have questions, and they will be answered in due time." He then turned to face Legolas and said, "Welcome back Legolas. We knew you would find her soon."

Legolas bowed and said, "I was starting to wonder if I ever would. "

Manwe told Legolas to rise, and then turned towards me once again. "Come here Aurora," he said. I went to him, and waited for what he had to tell me. "Through the jewels we sent for you to find, you have become an elf in almost every way, shape, and form. There is only one thing you need to truly be one of the Eldar," he said. "You are not yet immortal."

I wonder if there was yet another jewel that I need to find, I thought. If there is I hope they will point me in the right direction. Manwe turned to a table, and picked up a silver goblet. He turned back to me and said, "You need not worry about having to look for another jewel, Aurora." He gave me the goblet saying, "Drink from this, and you will live an immortal and Elven life with your true love."

I drank from the goblet. The liquid in it tasted like wine. Suddenly, I felt magic flowing through me. I looked at Legolas for some knowledge of what was happening to me. He smiled, which comforted me. Just as suddenly as the feeling had come, it left.

Manwe was standing there with his knowing look. Then he said, "Now you are truly one of the Eldar. From now on you shall be known as Galriee. Yes I know that is the Elven name your friend Eliath gave you in your teen years. Now that your true Elven form is complete, you may ask us the questions you have been waiting to know the answers to."

"What has become of Legolas and myself in the modern world?" I asked.

"You were both killed in an earthquake," Manwe answered.

"What about my friends and family? What are they going to do without me?"

"They are going to live the rest of their lives. Just like you will here. At the moment your mother and father are preparing your funeral."

"They must feel terrible. I was their only little girl."

"Galriee, you had fulfilled your dreams and lived your life to the fullest. They will be glad that you got to live your dreams. Go now and be happy in your new life."

Legolas took my arm and we left for his home. When we reached it, he showed me around. Then, he led me to a gorgeous bedroom that was next to his own. "This is your room now," he said.

" It's perfect," I said. I went over into his arms that he held out to encircle me in our love.

"I have an idea. Why don't we go for a ride, and along the way, have a picnic under a tree," Legolas suggested.

"That's a great idea," I agreed.

So, Legolas packed a picnic, and we were off. We took a ride around my new home. After a while, we found a wonderful tree to sit under and had our picnic. Sitting alone with Legolas, I felt secure and happier than I ever had been in my entire life. When we were finished, we rode back to our home. We were both exhausted.

I went towards my room. Legolas came over to me and said, "Goodnight Galriee."

"Goodnight Legolas," I replied.

I went to the vanity, took down my hair, and brushed it. I thought about what my family and friends might be going through at the moment. I knew that they were probably crying their eyes out. I only hope that they will find happiness later on in their lives.

After realizing there was nothing more to worry about, even if there was, I knew there was nothing I could do about it. So, I went to bed. I knew what was now my life is a dream come true. I finally knew true happiness. I fell asleep wondering what wonderful things tomorrow would bring.

I woke the next morning to the sound of birds and the beautiful sun coming through my window. I felt refreshed and excited. After putting on the dress I wore the day before, I went into the kitchen to look for Legolas. I didn't find him there, but I did find him in the living room. "Good morning, Legolas," I said.

"Good morning," he replied. "I hope you rested well."

I saw a pile of clothes on the table. Legolas glanced in the same direction and said, "The Valar sent these gowns for you. I was going to make some breakfast. You can take the gowns into your room, put them into your closet, and get ready for what the rest of the day may bring."

I did as Legolas suggested. After all the gowns were in the closet, I chose one to wear the rest of the day. The dress I chose was a grayish green with long flowing sleeves.

Legolas had already finished making breakfast. We sat down and ate. Afterwards, we went for another ride.
