Allison sat with Aragorn outside on one of the many balconies. He was smoking his pipe and occasionally he would glance at her.
"What Aragorn?" she asked facing the man.
"Nothing," he said.
"No there is something. Tell me now." She said.
"Do you know if the ring will be destroyed?" he asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Can you tell me?" he asked her. But Aragorn already knew that answer. "Can you tell me if the beacons will be lit?"
"Tomorrow," she said. "Tomorrow you will know your answer to the question."
"How do you do it?" Aragorn asked.
"Do what?"
"How did you become Queen, build a city, rule your people, lose it all, and still have hope?" Aragorn asked.
"Living here and knowing you, Lord Elrond and Gandalf got me through it," Allison explained. Suddenly Legolas walked over the two talking and sat down with them. "It is a miracle that Mathew and I made Parham."
"It seems that all your people love Mathew and you," Legolas said.
"We gave everyone a chance and they gave us a chance to be rulers," Allison said. "I never expected this."
"I remember when I first met you ten years ago. Gandalf made the suggestion that Mathew and you rule over Parham. They use to have no one ruling over Parham, it was just a bunch of people living together."
"I remember," Allison said a smile spreading upon her lips. "I was shocked we didn't think we could do it. But somehow it came together. I have been blessed with a second life."
"Even if it is immortality?"
"Yes, even if I will live forever, I will see many die. I will walk aimless around forever." Allison said and then she began to laugh. "You're lucky Aragorn. You can have my immortality if you want it."
"Having immortality opens up more opportunities," Aragorn said. She looked at him and then Legolas who smiled at her.
"I wonder who you could be talking about," she said. "I hope not Haldir."
"He is taken with you," Legolas said.
"I hope not," Allison said standing up and smoothing out her red and white dress.
"Why do you say that?" Legolas asked.
"Because…" why did Allison say that? She didn't know. Haldir really was never a friend to her over the years. But now he was. "He is an elf."
"Is that the only excuse you could think of?" Aragorn asked.
"Yes that's why I said it…" Allison said. "You do it on purpose don't you?"
"Do what your highness," Aragorn asked. He was messing with her again. He always messed with Allison.
"You and Mathew bring up Haldir to annoy me," she said. "And soon Legolas with start to."
"No I won't," Legolas said glancing over at Allison.
"No you will," she said. "Mathew and Aragorn act like children together, kind of like Lord Elrond sons. You will soon be pulled into it."
"You will Legolas, trust me." Aragorn said.
"Good day your highnesses." Allison quickly looked at Aragorn after she just addressed him as your highness. He would be king of Gondor, Aragorn knew he would, but he did not accept it.
"I will see you at dinner," she said and Allison left the two men to themselves.
"I have never seen you act like that Aragorn," Legolas said, the two men still sat together. Aragorn once again smoking his pipe.
"I can't explain it but Allison and Mathew have so much life in them. They bring joy and hope to others. I feel younger when I am with them." Aragorn explained.
"I guess we need that at a time like this," Legolas said.
"I guess we do…"
