Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings (sadly)

However, I do own Eradrin, Alluean, Aralin, Liliana, and the plot line/story. Silwŷn (who appears in this chapter) is my friend Skyler's OC

Chapter 29

Eradrin stood wide-eyed in front of the woods. Legolas and Elrond stood behind her. The next step I take will be one of the most important steps in my life. All the questions would be answered. All the mysteries unraveled. It took me this long to get here.

"This is it." She whispered. She took a few steps into the woods.

"We will come with you." Legolas paced after her, Elrond not far behind. Eradrin glanced gratefully at him. She nodded, nervousness chorusing throughout her body, and set off into the trees.


Eradrin marveled at the huge trees with thick trunks that towered over the elves. A soft light peeked out from between the trees, while mist wavered over the ground and in the air. Lothlorien. She'd never been there, but it seemed like home to her. The way the trees whispered songs to one another and danced with the wind was familiar.

Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes. Instinctively Eradrin quickly reached for an arrow and fitted it to her bow, hearing Legolas do the same. A group of elves emerged, with their bows also aimed, when a she elf with long raven hair that cascaded over her shoulders and piercing green eyes stepped out. "Oh, Elrond, Legolas, it is just you." She sighed, then placed her arrow back in her quiver. "But who is this?" She glanced at Eradrin.

Elrond spoke first. "Lady Silwŷn, it is good to meet you again. This is Lady Eradrin." Silwŷn's eyes flashed with something, memory perhaps. "We are here to see Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel." He finished.

Silwŷn glanced around the group, then murmured, "Come with me."

Eradrin clutched onto Legolas's hand tightly and they advanced up the steps. She looked out over the beautiful forest, eyeing the trees with balconies on top and stairs that spiralled around the trunks.

"I've waited for this for a long time, I wonder..." Eradrin trailed off, but Legolas seemed to understand her.

"You will be fine." He murmured. She nodded and marched up the last flight of steps. What will await me here...?

Silwŷn stopped them on the top of the balcony and commanded, "Wait here." And stalked off.

Eradrin willed her nerves to calm as she breathed deeply and bit her lip. Why am I so nervous? Suddenly a voice stirred in her head, not her own. You have returned...

Eradrin squeezed on even tighter to Legolas's hand, until he muttered, "That hurts."

Eradrin flushed. "Sorry." She apologized, and released her grip.

A light began to grow in front of them, and two regal figures appeared. They were both elves, one female had long, wavy blond hair while the other, male, had darker blond hair that was shorter, but still long.

Eradrin heard the voice again while the she-elf's crystal blue eyes penetrated hers. You have come home. Welcome.

Eradrin bit her lip. Are these... The male elf, Lord Celeborn, stepped forward, his eyes wide and his face pale. My parents...? Suddenly he erupted from his pose and, quite losing his regal figure, raced over to Eradrin with his arms stretched wide. "You've come!" He cried. He wrapped Eradrin in a hug. "My precious daughter has come home!" Soon the other elf, Galadriel, was hugging her daughter too.

Eradrin leaned into the embrace, allowing a sob to come out. Joy flowed through her veins, and one word came out. "Ada."

The End

Here comes my authors note:

Thank you for over 8,500 views! It makes me smile really big. :D

Also thanks for over 50 reviews! :D

Special thanks goes to my three BFFLPS (Best Friends For Life Pretend Sisters) Skyler, Victoria, and Abbie for supporting me while I wrote this, and to my mom who encouraged me. ;)

Keep watch for my Sequel to this story, called Rising Darkness. Here is the summary early on, exclusively for my readers:

"All the evil was gone. Destroyed. Or so they thought. But when a new darkness arises in Middle Earth, who will stop it before the world crumbles underneath their feet?"

Like it or not? Please review! I'm also going to rewrite this story eventually because as soon as I finished I had about a gazillion other ideas for this... Ha ha.

You guys are awesome! Remember that!
