It was that time of the year. It was time for the Feast of Starlight. It is that time when the entire kingdom would be buzzing with elves preparing for the Feast. For just once, Thranduil would open his own wine resources to the public. Fierce and emotionless elven guards and warriors would be seen lightening up. Kings and Queens from hundreds of different kingdoms, all across middle earth would make their way to Mirkwood. Even a few Dwarven Kingdoms.

You were woken up by something a little heavy on your chest. You realized it was just Lor sitting on your chest and playing with your hair. She used to do that all the time when she was a toddler, but now she was 6 years old and a tad heavy for you to let her sit on your chest.

'Lor, you can't sit on my chest anymore little one, I really am not being able to breathe, you're growing up Lor, and with that you're getting bigger and heavier, how about you sit here beside me and play with my hair?' you said to her, patting on the empty bed beside you. Lor whined a little but swiftly climbed down once she realised you really couldn't breathe. 

'Do you know where your Ada is sweetheart?' you asked. Lor nodded a no. You sighed as you sat up and stretched your arms. You were still extremely sleepy. Just then the door opened to reveal Legolas. 

'I see that you've finally woken up, meleth nin' he said as he placed a little kiss on your forehead. 'Finally? Why what time is it?' you asked. 'Its about a quarter past twelve'. Your eyes widened. How could you have been sleeping for so long?! What would the other elves think? You immediately stood up, 'Why didn't you wake me up?' you shrieked at Legolas. 

'You needed some rest after last night's activities' Legolas smirked. 'What activities Ada? You played without me?' Lor's voice came from behind you both. 'Uhh noo little one, this is a game for grown ups, you will also play this when you grow - no you most certainly won't, or maybe you have to, ugh whatever it is, you cant play this game now' Legolas fumbled. You chuckled seeing Legolas so flustered. 

'Come on Lor, let's let your mother get dressed because the kings are almost here and we need to be out there welcoming them' Legolas said as he swiftly picked up Lor. 

'Is Arwen and Aragorn going to be here? And the other as well?' you asked. Legolas nodded with a big smile on his face. It had been quite a few years since the Fellowship had gotten together. It would be amazing seeing everyone again.

You shooed Legolas and Lor away from your room and started getting ready for the Feast. Several monarchs will be coming from all over middle earth and you had to be there to greet them all as Princess of Mirkwood. You put on the dress Thranduil had sent for you to wear at the feast.

It was a beautiful emerald green and cream colour. A few servants came in and helped you do your hair. You put on a beautiful silver necklace studded with emeralds and a crown and were ready to go.

As you made your way to the ballroom you say swarms of people coming in. You went inside to find Legolas talking with some other elven prince. Thranduil was also talking to someone and had Lor in his hands.
'Oh my god meleth nin, sometimes I wonder how you are so beautiful' Legolas said as he walked up to you. You blushed. So many years of you being together yet Legolas could still make you blush like he first did.

'Even I wonder how someone could be so beautiful, and my tonight you look absolutely ravishing' a voice called out from behind you. You knew that voice very well, it was Boromir!
You turned around to see Boromir standing with his hands out wide.
'Oh Boromir! You're here! ' you said as you hugged him tightly.
'Welcome Boromir' Legolas gritted through his teeth seeing that Boromir had just been here two minutes and he had already started flirting with you. Boromir let out a loud chuckle, ' don't worry my friend, I won't steal y/n away from you this time... Unless? ' he said earning a glare from Legolas.
You smacked Legolas in the arm and widened your eyes, telling him to stop acting so jealous.

'Won't you give me a hug too y/n? ' you looked down to see Gimli. You gave a warm smile and bent down to give him a hug as well. 'We are next' Pipin said as the other three halflings stood in a line behind him. You chuckled hugging all of them one by one.
'And where is my niece? ' Aragorn's voice called out. You looked up to see Aragorn and Arwen with little Eldarion in her hands.

'Arwen! ' Lor cried as she jumped up from Thranduil's arms and ran and hugged Arwen's knees as everyone chuckled.

As everyone one settled in, chattering laughing and dancing an unknown smile crept upto your lips. A pair of hands sneaked around your waist from behind and pulled you close. You smiled harder, taking in Legolas's scent.

'Legolas? ' you said as you still kept your eyes on the fellowship.
'Yes my love? ' he replied putting his head on your shoulder.
'I'm so grateful, so grateful to have gone on this legendary journey, so grateful to have been a part of this group of people who I didn't even know until a few years earlier. But they have made me laugh, they have seen me cry, they have protected me and they have fought by me. Almost 6 years have passed and it's like nothing has changed when we meet. And most importantly I've met you through them. The love of my life, the father of child. I'm grateful for you Legolas, I'm grateful for all of this' I said. I felt Legolas smile and place a kiss on my temple.
'Mommy! Gimli says he can drink more than you but I told him that Mommy always wins, come show him' Lor said as she dragged you towards the table where everyone was seated.

Legolas smiled. His world was perfect. They were his world.
