If you're here for Legolas and Erulisse, Keep going! I will write this tale until I cannot anymore.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I stepped into my new dress, did up the back, and ventured into the next room to meet my husband. The dress had taken the seamstresses 3 days to make. It was pale green, with long billowing sleeves that came to my elbows and then dripped sheer to the floor. The neckline fell just above my breasts, leaving room to display the beautiful necklace Legolas had gifted me. I smoothed my curls and set them over one shoulder. I set my circlet on my head, which had miraculously not been damaged during our journey.

"Woah. You look absolutely flawless." Legolas stated as I stepped out.

I smiled and blushed. "Thank you."

The dress was loose enough but still tight, you could definitely tell I was pregnant. Legolas was dressed in his silver tunic and circlet that I loved so much.

He offered me his arm. "Shall we my lady?"

I nodded. "Yes. Let us."

Arwen and Aragorn were publicly wed and we all partied it up afterwards. Eomer managed to rope Legolas into another drinking competition. He further proved that elves are better drinkers after all. After Elladan and I exited the dance floor I noticed Legolas was nowhere to be seen.

"Have you seen Legolas?" I asked Eomer.

He was staring at a girl across the room.

"Eomer?" I asked. 

"Oh yes, sorry Lady Erulisse. No, I have not seen the prince." He choked on his ale.

"She's pretty." I smiled.

"Very." He realized what he just admitted and looked away embarrassed.

"Go talk to her, " I noticed another man approaching her. "Before it's too late ."

He set down his mug, cracked his knuckles, and walked over.

I found Arwen being fawned over by a couple of younger girls.

"Have you seen Legolas?" I asked.

"He ventured outside with Elrohir a few minutes ago." She smiled as Aragorn approached.

"Do you mind If I steal my queen?" He asked.

"No no, of course not." I shooed them off.

I walked out to the courtyard to see two figures leaning against the rail. I crept closer to see they were Elrohir and Legolas.

"Princess." Elrohir bowed his head to me before kissing my hand and leaving me with my husband.

"Good evening Elrohir." I replied. I turned to Legolas. "I couldn't find you."

"I came to catch my breath." He smiled. "I'm sorry if I caused you any stress."

"You are stressed, I can feel it."

He sighed and pulled me into his strong arms. "I'm missing home I guess. Now that evil is gone I wish nothing more than to run back to our kingdom. I miss our forest so."

"We should leave tomorrow. I'm not going to be able to travel much longer and we did promise Gimli a trip to helms deep."

He nodded. "Sounds fine by me."

We both walked back into the hall and found Arwen and Aragorn.

"We are departing in the morning," I stated. "We came to say farewell."
