So, the last disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings, Just Lessien.


She was waiting in the harbor along with her Father, Galadriel and Celebron. It had been three years since the end of Sauron and the destruction of the Ring. With Legolas and Gimli by her side she had seen Middle-Earth. She had been to the Misty Mountains, to the Shire (a whole month with Pippin and Merry can drive you insane), she had been to Lothlorien, to the Forest of Fangorn. She met her Grandparents, and most importantly, she had married Legolas.

It was a simple ceremony in Mirkwood with the help of his father, Thranduil. All her friends were there. Aragorn and Arwen, Frodo, Bilbo, Merry, Pippin and Sam with his lovely girl Rose. Gandalf and Gimli with big grins. Faramir and Éowyn, married as well, Éomer, King of Rohan, Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond, Elrohir and Elladan. She looked at the ring in her finger with a fond smile, lost on her thoughts.

'I married him. I love him.'

"Lessien?" She looked up to see her father looking at her with a curious expression. Celeborn and Galadriel wore soft smiles. She gave them an embarrassed smile.

"Forgive me. I was lost in thoughts."

"So it seems, my child." The cart that had Gandalf and the hobbits was close. "I will miss them." Elrond stared at her sadly.

"Amin hin... (My child). Are you sure?"

"Ada..." Lessien put an hand in his face."Sina naa mani Amin mern (This is what I want) " He smiled and squeezed her hand tightly. "What about Legolas?" Her thoughts then traveled to her goodbyes, to her best friends.

Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, sat in the Great Hall, laughing, when she entered. Their heads turned to her.

"Hey lassie! Come and joined us." Gimli shouted to her with a mug of ale in his hand. She sat next to her husband with her smile.

"How much have you drank Master Dwarf?" He just laughed at her and kept drinking.

"When are you leaving?" Aragorn asked with a soft voice. She felt Legolas tensed beside her.

"Tomorrow." Legolas roused to his feet and walked away. Lessien sighed.

"He loves you." Aragorn told her, his eyes on her.

"Ro naa n' desiel . (He is not ready.)" The stared at each other, until she stood and walked in the direction her husband disappeared.

He was staring at the sky with a peaceful look.

"Legolas..."

"Why are you leaving me?"

"We already discussed this..." he turned away from her. "Legolas. " No response. "Legolas look at me!" he did.

She embraced him. After a few minutes, he responded.

"I love and do not forget that I am your wife so please, for everything that we've been through together, please remind yourself that you will be there with me."

"I am sensing that the wait will be too long." She didn't contradict him. She knew that even in the Grey Heavens, she will miss him even with the thought that he would join her.

"I love you." she whispered before kissing him. It was a sweet kiss, probably one of the last, they would share in many years. He looked at her with so much love and passion that the young elleth had to look away.

"Amin mela lle (I love you)" he told her softly. They both walked inside. It was time for her to go to Rivendell. Aragorn, Gimli and Arwen stood next to the doors in silence.

"Lessien." She looked at him confused.

"Aragorn?"

"I need a minute with you." She nodded before following him to one of the many rooms.

"Aragorn?" she questioned again. He turned to her, tears in his eyes. "Oh Aragorn-"

"Don't go." She froze surprised.

"What?"

"You are my sister. I need you here. Don't go. Stay." he sat in the bed sobbing. She too had tears in her eyes.

"My brother..." she hugged him with all her strength. "You already proved that you don't need help. You fulfilled your destiny. You are a King, Aragorn." He stared at her. She saw love, friendship.

"To the ends of the Earth."

"And beyond, mellonamin, and beyond." He stood and faced her.

"Amin mela lle amin seler (I love you my sister.)" They hugged again. It seemed like a lifetime had passed when they broke apart.

"Amin mela lle amin toror (I love you my brother.)"

"Lessien."

"Oh Arwen..." Tears streamed down their faces.

"Never forget that I love you."

"Never Arwen."

"Did you said your goodbyes to Elladan and Elrohir?" Lessien nodded.

"Yesterday." The it was time for Gimli. He was wiping away stubborn tears.

"Gimli... Are you crying?"

"Yes, I'm crying lassie! Come here!" he grabbed her by the waist giving her a bone-crush hug.

"We will meet again Master Dwarf." She knew that Elrond had already made available a ship for him and Legolas in a few years. She stepped back facing them.

"It was an honor battling with you." They smiled and then she turned away, crying her heart out knowing she was leaving Minas Tirith forever.

The cart had arrived. Frodo helped Bilbo get out. Pippin, Merry and Sam jumped after them, with Gandalf by their side.

"Oh! Well, here is a sight I have never seen before." the older hobbit bowed at the. Lessien bowed back along with her father and grandparents.

"The power of the Three Rings in ended. The time has come for the dominion of Men." Lessien smiled at the four hobbits looking at her. Pippin and Merry winked at her.

"I Aear cân ven na mar. (The sea calls us home.)" Elrond said with a warm smile at Bilbo.

"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure." And so, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire climbed onto to ship. Elrond helped him, before turning to his daughter.

"I will be there in a minute" He nodded before disappearing. Galadriel approached her.

"The House of Peredhel is proud of you, Lessien. Don't take too long." She bowed at the Lady of Light.

"Diola lle (Thank you.)" Galadriel and Celeborn gave her a smile. She turned to watch Gandalf and the hobbits. Merry and Pippin were crying. Frodo wasn't.

'You are one brave hobbit Frodo Baggins.'

Gandalf reached her.

"Ah! Lady Lessien of Mirkwood." she laughed at the wizard's words.

"You'll be missed Gandalf." he gave her a smile.

"My task is over. New adventures await me." He turned to the hobbits. "It's time Frodo." Lessien saw surprised in the little creatures eyes, especially Sam's.

"What does he mean?" Frodo looked at him with grief.

"We set out to save the Shire Sam, and it has been saved, but not for me."

'Poor Sam.'

"You don't mean that. You can't leave." he said tearfully. Frodo had something in his hands.

'Bilbo's book. Did he finished it?'

"The last pages are for you Sam." Sam and the other two were crying openly. Lessien sniffed.

'I really hate goodbyes.' Frodo walked to them and she walked to the little creatures.

"My dear friends. I will miss every single one of you so much." Sam looked at her surprised.

"You are going too?"

"Oh Come on." She knelled to them. "Did you really thought I was going to stay behind? With an adventure like this?" she chuckled.

Merry and Pippin were crying again.

"We will miss you Lessien. You were the first elf we met and you were the braver."

"Oh Merry, Pippin." She was crying again.

"Goodbye little ones. You will be always in my heart." She kissed them in their foreheads and climbed to the ship.

She and Frodo waved away until the harbor was nothing more than a memory. Closing her eyes, Lessien thought of the last four years. Saruman came to her mind. Four years ago she did not know if what she felt was love or hate. She knew now. It was gratitude. She was grateful to him for taking care of her and because of that felling, her memories of him were happy and peaceful.

"Gandalf told me that you would come with us because you are a free spirit." Frodo told looking up at her.

She laughed. "Gandalf's right. As always." Frodo gave her a small smile before walking away leaving her alone.

She would meet Legolas again. She would wait for him.

She had time.

She was, indeed, a free spirit.


Once again, thank you so much to every single one of you for supporting this story. It was an adventure I will never forget. *Starts sobbing*

It was my first 'big story' and I feel so happy to see that it had more success than I had ever expect! So thank you, thank you, thank you =)

Until the next time.
