The following morning, they stood near the Midgewater, facing the portal of the safe haven. Aragorn, expressing his sincere gratitude, bowed before Y/N. "Thank you, my lady, for your generosity and hospitality," he expressed, his words filled with appreciation for the warm welcome they had received. 

Their journey was about to continue, and they were ready to venture into the great unknown, carrying with them memories of the safe haven and the kindness they had encountered there.

Y/N curtsied in return, a warm smile on her face. "You're welcome, Aragorn. It was my pleasure to have you and your companions under my roof. I hope your journey ahead brings you success and safety." 

She turned to the rest of the group, her eyes lingering on Legolas for a brief moment, before continuing. "Take care, all of you. May the stars be your guide and the Valar watch over you."

With a warm smile, She turned to the Hobbits, her voice gentle. "Please visit me soon, especially you, my little friends," she said.

The hobbits beamed at Y/N's words, their faces lighting up with smiles. "We will, my lady," Pippin replied with enthusiasm. "You can count on us to visit you as soon as we have the chance."

Eladan exchanged heartfelt goodbyes with Aragorn and the others, taking his time to express his gratitude and well-wishes. 

Meanwhile, Y/N turned to Gandalf, her voice lowering to a confidential tone. "Please reach out to me whenever you need help," she said, her words laced with sincerity. "You know how to call me," she added, signaling her willingness and readiness to offer support whenever it was needed.

Gandalf inclined his head, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Indeed, I do. And rest assured, I will not hesitate to call upon your aid whenever it is needed. Your assistance has proven invaluable, and I am forever in your debt." He gently patted Y/N's shoulder. 

"Take care, my friend. May the Valar watch over you and guide you." With a final nod of respect, Gandalf turned to join the others as they prepared to embark on their journey.

Eladan had just concluded his warm embrace with Boromir, and the Fellowship began to set off on their journey. Amidst their departure, Legolas stood still, his gaze fixed on Y/N with a somber expression. 

The moment carried a sense of quiet understanding, as if Legolas conveyed a deep emotion through his eyes, acknowledging the connection they shared and the bittersweet emotions that came with parting.

Legolas stood there, his eyes locked with Y/N's, the weight of their separation settling heavily upon him. He could see the sadness mirrored in her eyes, but he also knew that they both had a duty to fulfill. He moved closer to her, with a heavy heart, He kissed her forehead 

"Farewell, my love," he said, his words tinged with longing. "we will meet again soon." he took a step back, his voice barely above a whisper.

Y/N nodded, accepting their temporary parting with as much strength as she could muster. "Farewell, my prince," she replied, her voice filled with a mixture of love and sorrow. 

"Until the day we are reunited, know that my heart will be with you, wherever you may go." She said with a sad smile.

With a final, lingering glance, she watched as Legolas turned to follow his companions, their hearts heavy with the weight of their separation. But even amidst the sadness, she knew that their love would endure and that one day, they would be together again.

Legolas gently placed his hand affectionately on Eladan's head, his voice tinged with concern. "Stay safe, please, both of you," he urged, his words spoken softly. Eladan returned Legolas's touch with a slight nod. "I will," he replied, his tone determined. "And you have my word. I'll look after her while you're away."
