Soulmates

Announcement

We walk into the room pausing by the door "Well you got to hand it to them, the dwarves know how to throw a party." I laugh nodding "Yea." I go to walk forward but Ranon and Attar both grab my arms holding me in place "What are you doing?" Attar smiles "You'll see."

A loud gong echoes through the room causing everyone to fall silent turning their attention to Thorin. He is standing in front of his throne looking handsome and regal as ever in his robes and crown. "We are gathered here today to celebrate the restoration of Erabor and Dale. They have once again been returned to their former glory. I owe thanks to the elves of Mirkwood and Rivendell and the Majda of Calcite for all their efforts and kindness, thank you for all you have done I hope we can continue to trade and help each others as friends rather than rivals."

There is a thunderous applause until Thorin signals for silence once more "As the whole kingdom and our friends is gathered I have an important announcement. I have decided that a change in governing is needed. In three days I will be in the throne room any dwarf may put their name forward, then in two weeks there will be a public vote. Twelve new advisors will be selected from this to help govern Erabor. I feel this is a change that will help Erabor improve." I smile proudly clapping with the others only a few of the elderly dwarves looking put out. Once again Thorin signals for silence.

"I hope to be a fair and loyal King and hope that Erabor continues to grow and thrive as it once did. But I can not do that alone." his eyes sweep over the room before locking on mine "I never thought I would find my one." he chuckles "And I certainly did not expect them to be as brave, loyal, beautiful and caring as they are. Elysian Theron yours is the only heart I wish to posses and in return I give you mine." he starts walking forward the crowd parting instantly for him.

"You have captured me heart, body and soul and if you will let me I wish to spend the rest of my days with you making you smile. Princess Elysian Theron of Calcite will you be my Queen?" he kneels holding up a beautifully carved ring with a fragment of the Arkenstone embedded in the center. I gasp staring at him in shock before his words finally register a large smile spreading across my face as I fight back tears a whispered "Yes." passing my lips before managing a louder one "Yes." 

He stands beaming as I lean closer pressing my lips to his "I love you Thorin Oakenshield and my heart is yours." he chuckles softly pulling back to slip the ring onto my finger as the hall erupts in cheering and whooping. I giggle kissing him once more "I love you so much."
"As do I my dear." I can hear Ranon and Attar whistling and grip Thorin's hand tightly "Ready?" he chuckles "With you by my side I am ready to face anything."
