Everie stayed in Erebor until Thorin's body was laid to rest. Bilbo packed his bag, for he was to return back to his home. It was time to say goodbye to his friends he met along this adventure. Bilbo looked at the dwarves who were standing in front of him with the elves, he was quite surprised to see all of them. Bilbo does not know what to say, he hates to say goodbye.
"If anyone of you would come visit along Bag-End…tea is at four. There are plenty of them. You are welcome to my home…" the dwarves bowed their head in appreciation, Bilbo looked away, but turned his head to face the dwarves again, "…and don't bother knocking" Bilbo added, the dwarves can't help but to chuckle with their teary eyes. Bilbo turned to look at the Elvenking with Everie standing beside him, the elf maiden walked her way to Bilbo to wish him well.
"I wish for your safety on your journey back home, my little friend with a brave and kind heart" Everie said as she bent to his height and kissed his forehead. Bilbo smiled at her comment, Thranduil spoke, "and if you come by, Mirkwood again. You are welcome, Master Baggins. You do not need to steal from me" Bilbo made an apologetic smile, and nods.
"Thank you, my lady. I wish you well too. It's uncommon to meet an elf who is reckless, such as you. You are unique in your own way and I hope you would not change, my dear elf friend" Bilbo said, as she smiled and nods, he looked at his friends one last time and said good bye. They waved their hand at him as he left the great Kingdom of Erebor.
Everie together with her father, returned back to their home. Everie went to her father's quarters, "Father, Thorin asked me to give you this gift" she said, as she showed the necklace, that shines as the stars above. Thranduil took it, as Everie turned her back, and was about to leave when, "This necklace...this is the last piece that your mother owns…" Everie turned to face and stare at his father, ready to listen, "Your mother loved the two of you, even more than me. She risked her life to save both of you. I am sorry, my daughter, if I was not able to do my duty as your father─" Everie went to embrace his father, cutting him of on his words.
"No, father. You do not need to apologize. I understand. You are our King, and our father. It was your duty to protect your people, and your children…how can I take it against you? After all you are my father" tears started to fall from her eyes, she brought her face up to look at Thranduil, "If anyone should apologize, it should be me. I apologize for worrying you, for being so disobedient, selfish, and reckless…for not being the daughter you wish I was" Everie told her father, Thranduil brought his hand and wiped away her tears, and caressed her cheek. "No, do not say that. You are each special, and you will do great things in your own way, just as your mother always told me. The greatest gift and honor, was having you both as our children. You and Legolas" Thranduil said making her smile, as he kissed her forehead, and enclosed her in his arms once again, "I love you, father" Everie whispered to him,
"I love you too, as constant as the stars above" Thranduil replied back, as he embraced his daughter tightly in his arms.
