After waiting for a hour, the eagles from the far east came down from the clearing sky and picked up all of the fellowship and took them to Gondor, where they recuperated.
After healing, the fellowship returned to Hobbiton, where Naeniver hosted the party that she had spoken of during their adventure. No other hobbits were invited, so the eight in the fellowship enjoyed blowing smoke rings and listening to songs and tales of lore. Afterward, Beone and Flynn returned to their homeland, and Ceria went with them.
After many long months of settling back, Mikki and Sakhar decided it was time for them to go west across the sea. So the remaining fellowship, Naeniver, Frodo and Radagast accompanied them to the sea side on the far east shores. They were surprised to find that Beone and Flynn had been waiting for them.
"Radagast told us to come to see you all off," Flynn said.
Mikki and Sakhar said good-bye and then boarded the ship. Radagast also said good-bye. He boarded the ship and then turned back.
"Come, Frodo. It is time," he said.
Naeniver turned to Frodo. "What does he mean? Surely you are not thinking of going, too?"
"Naeniver, there are some wounds too deep to heal. We set out to save the Shire... but not for me." He smiled and hugged her. "Good-bye, Naeniver." he turned to Beone and Flynn and said good-bye, then turned and went onto the ship. As the ship set sail, he turned back, smiled kindly, and waved.
After watching the ship sail into the west, Beone and Flynn took Naeniver safely home, then they returned to their homeland once again.
The three remaining of the fellowship lived long, and before they grew of old age, they, too went across the sea, where they were once again reunited with the fellowship.
And thus ended... The Fellowship of the Ring.

It was said by Gandalf, "Many that live-deserve death, and some that die-deserve life. Can you give it to them? My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many." Frodo- "I wish the Ring had never come to me." Gandalf- "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it...and that is an encouraging thought." And later it was said by Pippin, "I didn't think it would end this way..." to which Gandalf replied, "End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The gray rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass... and then you see it..." he pauses, and Pippin speaks, "What, Gandalf? See what?" Gandalf smiled. "White shores... And beyond... A far green country under a swift sunrise." Pippin looks into Gandalf's peaceful face and says, "Well, that isn't so bad." Gandalf gently replies, "No... No, it isn't."
