Queen of His Heart

Fan Fiction-Hobbit/Chronicles of Narnia

I do not own the copyrights to the Hobbit; book or movie. Nor do I own any to the Chronicles of Narnia

A/N= 1) I got this idea off a You Tube video someone made. I figured I couldn't find a sequel to their video, so I am writing one here. 2) I also have messed with time frames and facts for the sake of the storyline, but remember this is FAN-FICTION nothing more.

Released from A Promise

Ch. 10

"I release you from the promise I insisted you make and keep." Thranduil's normally 'royal' look departed and his eyes softened. "I really was wrong."

"We both were." Elrond's eyes softly turned down as his mouth did. "Please forgive us."

Forgiving them wasn't hard; she'd already done that, but as her hands twisted her heart was still torn and cried out wanting peace after all the years of emotional torture. Neither man was blind and they saw the battle going on in her eyes even if her voice did not air the argument out.

"You don't have to worry about us, Diane." Thranduil spoke quietly, "We both may love you, but we've ironed out any pettish feelings between us. It's only your best interest we have at heart." He went on to say more about the old situation and how they'd been in the wrong. Thranduil found it quite the relief to get everything out in the open.

"If you want you can leave quietly, or chose between us. But no matter what no hard feelings will be thrown out." Elrond spoke softly keeping his own emotions in check as not to make it any harder on the woman he loved anymore than it had to be.

Diane looked back and forth and saw the sincerity on both their faces. Slowly standing up Diane watched the men who half thought she'd simply walk away. "Are you two really serious?" She asked slowly; both men smiled and nodded yes. Once Diane was convinced she was being told the truth her own relief was found.

"I do love you Elrond…" His heart would have skipped for joy; however, he heard what was not being said.

"But?" He held his held high.

"I can't deny what my spirit tells me." With that she looked at Thranduil and even a blind man could see her choice. Elrond kept his word as he gave a nod her way and bowed slightly to Thranduil before his departure. A smile lept to Diane's face as Thranduil's arms reached out for her.

Lucy came around the corner just as Thranduil was lowering his face to Diane's. That fact got her to whirl around and come up with an excuse to do some more walking.

Galadriel saw Lucy wandering aimlessly around and had no problems approaching her. "Let us go for a walk shall we." The woman's voice was gentle and she guided Lucy down to the river. "It still bothers you that Diane did not speak to you about Elrond and Thranduil?" The high elf knew that wasn't the case, but also knew Lucy had to open up on her own.

"That's not the problem." Lucy felt as if she were sighing all the time. "It's just I thought I had everything figured out. Thought for sure once Thorin was told I was here he'd show his face to me. Whether to chew me out for coming back, or embrace me I didn't know which. However; I haven't even seen his face once.

"Deep inside himself he's always been a decent man; afraid of nothing, but now it it is fear that is stopping him." Galadriel spoke solemnly. "He lost so much due to turning cold. The old dwarf king has a battle going on within himself. He knows his title is just that; only a title with little meaning, but your title and reputation..." The woman paused and then went on, "lives on. Thorin also knows, as we all do, just how big of a battle he has had getting back on his feet, but …." Her eyes gave Lucy 'that' look as she continued on. "He has always felt your presence, your influence, and your love even during his worst moments."

"You think I should be the one to go see him instead of the other way around?" Lucy asked quietly and then tacked on the inquiry if the woman had seen the end result.

"I can tell you what you have already been told….. he has been climbing back up from the pit he fell into. I also know Thorin cares for you still; far more than he realizes. In this case the end is not for me to see ahead of time." The high elf's words basically echoed those of Gandalf's. It also told Lucy things had to be faced, to see if the love they once held in their hands still stood a chance, or if she'd have to go home; alone, for there was no question Diane would not be returning
