EPILOGUE
Erestor watched the celebration before him. Hadereth and Turgon were now wed. Erestor smiled. Even after all he had been through with Hadereth, all he wanted was for him to be happy. Erestor turned to another part of the Hall and watched Cuthavion dancing with his new wife Lady Galadriel. They had been wed now for four years. Erestor felt a pair of arms wrap around him, but not in a lovers embrace. Erestor did not have to turn around to see who it was.
" Hello Glorfindel."
Glorfindel laughed and let go of Erestor.
" It seems you always know when it is me mellon nin."
Erestor laughed as well. Glorfindel bowed as his lover came up to retrieve him. Erestor shook his head and chuckled. Then, his eye caught the far end of the Hall. Celeborn. Erestor smiled at his betrothed from where he stood. He looked out to where everyone was dancing and saw Ecthelion dancing with Elrond, much to the amusement of Celebrian and Lord Cirdan. Erestor chuckled to himself. Then a voice from beside him nearly startled him.
" Hello Erestor."
Erestor turned to face the elf. There stood Hadereth. Erestor smiled.
" Hello Hadereth."
Hadereth seemed to become nervous for only a moment, then he returned the smile.
" Will you dance with me?"
Erestor nodded. As they joined everyone in the dance, Erestor watched Celeborn as he made his way to the floor. Erestor watched as he approached his daughter and they began to dance as well. All the elves were happy now.

Celeborn held his betrothed in his arms and watched some of the elves leave for their rooms. Hadereth was about to leave, but then approached Erestor.
" I just wanted to thank you Erestor."
Erestor looked at him confused.
" For what Hadereth?"
Hadereth smiled.
" For not holding the past against me."
