Chapter 13: Epilogue.

She was queen. She was blessed with a wonderful mate and two beautiful children. Although Legolas could hardly count as a child. Their daughter was running around in a meadow. Her very light pink hair (a color mix of her and Thranduil) flowing behind her in the summer breeze. Her eyes were just like Thranduil's and she truly resembled the both of them. They had named her Elil. She had brought a lot of joy with her, even when appearing in such a difficult time. She truly appeared to be a star in their life. There was so much light within her. Adeline too was there with them. Sitting in the tree above them, reading, while Legolas chased his sister.

Now peace was over them and there had been one question bothering the most of them. Would the elves leave? She and Thranduil were both determined to stay, and many elves followed their example, especially since they did not truly hear the calling of the sea. The woods around them helped them as much.

Her mother was a different matter, she had to leave, or so she had tried to stress several times. Celeborn was torn. In many ways he wanted to follow Galadriel, but at the same time he wanted to stay and keep watch over the remaining elves in Lórien. Not only that, he also wanted to stay close to his daughter. His bond to her stronger than ever. When Elil would be ready to rule, she would take over Lórien and then he could sail, or so he had said.

Legolas had heard the call of the sea, and he was more torn than the most of them. She felt that. Adeline saw it too and was more concerned. At least there were many elves choosing to stay.

A lot of changes would have to be made. The elves had to interact more with humans, so with trading as well if they wanted to maintain peace and not fall to history and then myth. Lord Elrond had agreed, even though he too was sailing. It was now up to his sons to keep an eye on Rivendell, for Arwen was to spend her life with Aragorn.

She sighed, she could not help it, and it no longer mattered to keep up her mask, for Thranduil could read her emotions clearly anyway. He simply looked at her with warmth and it brought a wave calm towards her.

Adeline jumped down and sat beside her while Elil came running up to them. "Why is grandmother leaving?" she asked. She had asked that question every day ever since she got to know.

"You know she has to," Calithilel said softly. "But one day we will meet her again."

Elil pouted and her eyes started to well up.

"Here comes the waterworks," Adeline announced and snickered.

However, Elil stopped herself and ran into Legolas' arms. "Come here little one," he said with a smile and hugged her.

Thranduil smiled and Calithilel's heart warmed even more. He seemed much more relaxed now that the war was over. There were not many orcs wandering the lands anymore, and the forest had healed completely. It was prospering. She could barely imagine living in her old world anymore, and she knew the same went for Adeline, though some of it had been harder for her, for she had had less time to get ready for her own quest.

She belonged in this world. Of course, there would always be a hint of evil, for no one was truly perfect, but it was up to them to make sure that peace lasted.

"Not to complain or anything, but does this mean we can move out into the forest?" Adeline suddenly asked.

"When we have built a proper house for us of the royal family," Thranduil said calm.

"You're actually serious," Adeline muttered.

"We are still the royal family here," Calithilel answered and giggled. "Thranduil would accept no less than a beautiful treehouse." She laughed.

"Don't call it a treehouse, you make it sound so small," Adeline teased.

This was what Calithilel had longed for, especially when it had seemed like the darkest, even when she knew that the Greenwood would pull through. However, there was a lot of changes that helped immensely with the outcome, and shortened their own battle. The only thing she regretted was the tiny struggle between herself and her mate that had been a little problematic. They had truly not seemed able to agree on much, especially when they had figured out that she was with child. In the end they had come through it together and managed, for they were truly meant for each other, and if they had not, only grief would have been the outcome for them both. That was at least not the case, thankfully. For they both were stubborn, but in the end they managed to see a different view on things. They understood each other even more.

She arose and went to sit beside Thranduil. He put one arm around her while they watched Legolas pull out a wooden sword towards Elil, and she answered with her own.

"Take this little sister!" Legolas said while laughing.

"Never!" Elil protested, making their small audience laugh.

"You sure got a handful with that one," Adeline commented.

"Just wait until you get one of your own," Thranduil said. Both he and Calithilel saw the other elleth pale and they laughed.

"After hearing what a pain it is to give birth, especially in this world, no thank you." Her face was all flustered.

"Never say never," Calithilel muttered with a small smile.

"It might just surprise you when you do not expect it," Thranduil agreed, just a bit louder.

Adeline's face seemed to become even redder. "I'll just disappear for a while," she answered and stood. Soon she disappeared between the trees.

Legolas stopped his game with Elil. "Where did Adeline go?" he asked, concerned.

"We might have scared her a little. No worries though, she'll be back soon," Calithilel answered.

They were right. Ready to return to the halls Adeline appeared, calm and with regained composure. Calithilel and Thranduil walked with Elil between them. Behind them Legolas and Adeline walked hand in hand.

The future would certainly have more surprises for them.

Tell me what you think ;)

Thank you all for now. For the future if there is coming a sequel (I will not promise as of right now) it should be titled something along the lines of Calithilel and Adeline. It will ofc be Calithilel x Thranduil. But also Adeline (OC) x Legolas.
