/flashback/
After a few days everything was readied for the travel to Lothlorien and the Nanoha's group had readied themselves for another journey and stood ready to leave in the morning. The escort existed out of the escort that had accompanied Lady Galadriel to Imladris and a group that would accompany Lord Elrond and his daughter back when their visit to Lothlorien had ended, among this escort were the knights. Because Nanoha's group would be picked up after the first break when Chrono would talk to Thanguriel alone, did they ride together with someone of the escort.
The twins came down to the courtyard to wish everyone a good journey. For the time that their father would be away Elladan would rule Imladris in place of their father, both Erestor and Elrohir would help him with this.
"Than, have a safe journey and enjoy your time with Arwen because I don't know if she will come back with you. If you want you can ask her to come back so that we will see her more often. Also when grandfather has time we promise you he will spent it with you as he missed you very much. You are very dear to him as you are his only grandchild who has inherited his hair color" Elladan told her before she was lifted on a horse by her father. The rest of the escort also mounted their horses after Elrond mounted his.
"See you again, boys" Galadriel told them and soon after the escort rode out of the courtyard. When they were gone Elladan and Elrohir walked back into the house to do the work their father would normally do during the day, which excited out of reading reports and replying to letters among others.
The escort was riding when Thanguriel had to think about what Elladan had said to her and she didn't know what to make of what Elladan said as she didn't know her grandfather. She thought she saw a glint in his eyes which he normally had when he was messing around, she had discovered this recently by looking at him when she knew he was messing around with her, her father, Glorfindel, Erestor or somebody else. From the reactions around her she was positive that it was believed that they had times when they acted childish but when the situation demanded it they could also act as they had to. Thinking over everything she decided to wait with making a conclusion about Elladan's words that she was her grandfather's favorite.
On the road it the soldiers talked mostly between themselves while Galadriel and Elrond were talking to each other. Nanoha and Fate were talking to each other to see what they would think Chrono would decide and what the report would have for results. They could imagine that there would be angry persons over the fact that they couldn't recover one of their own and also that they hadn't found out that Thanguriel wasn't a human but an elf. This was something they were sure would cause some real agitation in the bureau.
When they had traveled for most of the morning gave Elrond the signal for them to stop and take a break. He looked towards Fate and she nodded to show him she understood what he meant.
[Admiral, we have taken a break] Fate told Chrono who answered with
[Alright, I'll come down to talk to talk to Hayate]
So after a few minutes Chrono was transported to the ground and was walking to the exact location where his scouting group and Thanguriel were staying. Soon after he came at the makeshift camp, which had been in created in the meantime, and looked at the people in the camp. He saw his scouts but also quite a few other people. It was easy to see who was in charge as they mostly stayed together and a child sat closely by them. Thanks to the picture Fate had sent him to analyze he knew that this was Thanguriel and walked in her direction. In this moment Nanoha spotted him and walked to the leaders. When she had told them something they looked in his direction, he could see that they were assessing him. It didn't take long before the black haired man, who he knew to be Thanguriels father, walked towards him with Thanguriel following him. When the man stood before him he said something to Thanguriel before she said
"Let's get a bit away. My father doesn't want me to go to far as there could be orcs close by"
Chrono nodded and they walked a bit away before Chrono thought it was far enough, but still close by enough, he said
"Commander, do you think you will come back to the bureau in time. You know we will have to face a lot of questions and this is one they will want to have a specific answer on. I can understand that you want to be able to know your family but we will all miss you"
"I don't know if I will return, but when I want I will mostly be involved in advising as I have learned that my live, as all of the elves, is bound to this planet. We can only go to Aman and not another planet. That is why I believe that I won't be able to return to active duty. Nanoha and Fate have an agreement with me that I write them letters on my live here so they don't lose contact with me" Thanguriel answered.
"How do they treat you?" Chrono asked.
"They treat me great, children are greatly valued by the elves" Thanguriel answered.
"What do you think you will do in the future?" Chrono questioned.
"You really want to know what will happen to me in the future, don't you?" Thanguriel asked because she caught the underlying purpose of the questions. If she was in the position Chrono was in now she would have done the same. So when Chrono said that he wanted to know she said
"Well, what I will do in the future I am not sure about. I think I will join the soldiers but I also would like to help with managing so I will have to make my decision later. As for now, I want to learn more about the history of this planet and want to get to know my family, at least those who are here on Arda. For those who are in Aman, like my mother, I will have to wait for some years. One thing I won't allow is for my family to treat me like a small child, I want to be treated with respect" Thanguriel explained to which Chrono couldn't say much over as he could understand what she meant.
"I understand and will do my best to make my superiors understand it as well. You know how they can be. If there is anything then make sure to let Nanoha or Fate know about it" Chrono said and then thought about the book of the night sky and asked "What is the status of the book of the night sky? I heard it was changed back to its original form. Is it safe now? "
"Yes, it is safe" Thanguriel answered.
"You were brought back by the planets deities. I have been wondering why they hadn't informed the bureau and did it behind their back. Do you have an explanation for this? " Chrono asked her as he wanted to know the answer and be able to avoid similar situations.
"No, I don't. All I know, from the lessons I got about this world, is that they don't interact with humans, so maybe that is the reason" Thanguriel said.
"Alright then I will leave it as it is as I can tell from what you said, that we can't ask them if they don't interact with humans. Keep in contact with Nanoha and Fate then" Chrono said and then walked back to the camp with her to pick up his people. At the camp everyone quickly said goodbye to each other before the scouting group was transported back to the ship, without Agito as she had decided to stay with Signum, while Elronds group traveled further towards Lothlorien.
Two days later they arrived at the border relatively unchartered as they had encountered one orc party which they disposed of easily because of the amount of warriors they had with them. They only had a few guards with minor injuries. As they entered the forest they could hear the whistling of leaves and a few minutes later they could see wardens awaiting them.
"My lady, welcome back. Does lord Celeborn know you are back or should we send a massager to tell him this" one of the wardens asked.
"No, I haven't told him yet but I will send Rúmil ahead to tell him" Galadriel said before turning to Rúmil "Tell my husband that I'll be home in the evening, but don't tell him about my granddaughter because I want to surprise him. Tell him I bring guests along"
Rúmil nodded and rode towards Caras Galadhron. Meanwhile everyone rode calmly further as they now were in the golden woods and it was safe to travel at a slower pace as the wardens protect the woods and don't let any danger enter. They rose until the evening before they arrived in Caras Galadhron.
Celeborn and Arwen were taking a stroll through the woods when Arwen asked
"Did grandmother say why she wanted to visit father. Does it have anything to do with my sister?"
"It might as she saw your sister alone in the woods and in possession of a magical book. She wanted see her because of that" Celeborn answered.
"Does that mean that she is alive and able to find her way back to us?" Arwen asked hopefully as she wanted to be with her sister after all the years apart. But just as she was about to get an answer Rúmil came running towards after he had left his horse at the stables.
"My lord, lady Galadriel send me ahead of her party to inform you that she will be bringing guests along together with an additional escort" Rúmil told them when he stood before them.
"How many guests does she bring with her?" Celeborn asked as he wanted to know how many guest rooms had to be readied.
"She brings two guests along, my lord. They will be here by evening" Rúmil answered.
"I'll tell the servants to ready the guestrooms" Arwen said but before she could go Rúmil said
"My lady Arwen, one if the guests is your father and knowing lady Galadriel she would want the other guest to stay close by the royal talan and your fathers' also"
Arwen acknowledged his word and left to give word to the servants. Celeborn was highly interested as he wanted to know what Galadriel had found and why she kept it from him. The only reason he could imagine was that she wanted to surprise them. He knew he had to wait for her to arrive to find out why she hadn't informed him.
As expected arrived Lady Galadriel in the evening with both the escort, Lord Elrond and the guest who Celeborn could see was a child who sat before Elrond in the saddle. Because the child had her hood up so he couldn't see the face or gender of the child as it was a child no older than thirty years. Celeborn was wondering who this child was and why she sat before Elrond and not her father or was this his granddaughter Celeborn wondered. When he looked at his side to Arwen who he could see she was wondering the same as he was. When the escort was inside the city did Elrond and Galadriel dismount followed by the escort. Elrond held the hand as of the child after helping her down and walked towards them together with his wife. When they stood before them the child pushed the hood of her face and Arwen instantly recognized her sister and she embraced her on her knees.
"Than, I'm so happy to see you again after all those years" Arwen said as she hugged her sister and tears of happiness streamed down her face.
"I know, everyone else told me the same" Thanguriel answered.
"Arwen, why don't you show your sister Caras Galadhron" suggested Elrond as he wanted to talk with Celeborn about his granddaughter. Arwen complied and began with showing Thanguriel the royal talan and the garden and explained everything. It was in the garden that Arwen noticed that a blue wolf and a child, both of whom she saw arriving with the escort, were following them
"Why do you follow us, girl and what is who is your friend" arwen asked Vita while pointing towards Zafira.
"Arwen, Vita and Zafira are part of this book" Thanguriel said while taking of her necklace and calling the book "They are protection for me, created by the book, together with Shamal and Signum. Reinforce is also part of this book"
[Arwen is my sister] Thanguriel told Vita and Zafira telepathically as a introduction of some kind.
"That is true, you can ask your father. He knows about it and can also explain you things to you" Vita said which Arwen acknowledged but would ask her father about and then went further with showing her sister Caras Galadhron, while Vita and Zafira following. When it was evening Arwen went with her to the her room to fresh themselves up before going to the large dining room to eat. When arriving there she could see that her father and grandparents were already present and could see that there were also three other people present who she didn't know. Two places close next to her father were free so she guided her sister to these places before sitting down and asking her father of he knew who the others where and it was the then that he confirmed her sister's story. It was shortly afterwards that servants brought the food after which everyone enjoyed their meal.
Only the first epilogue left and then this story is finished.
