Two Hearts and Two Kingdoms United (Elrond + Celebrian)

Chapter 5

Celebrian's stay at Rivendell was coming to its end. She had spent two weeks in Rivendell, and she enjoyed every minute of her stay. But to her, it didn't last long. It only felt like a couple of days, instead of two weeks. But now her stay ended. Her parents and her were collecting their things. They were getting ready to ride back to Lothlorien.

Celebrian was in her room, grabbing her things. She put everything back the way she found it. She even made the bed, so the maids wouldn't have too. When she had everything, she walked to the front courtyard, to meet her parents.

When she got there, her parents were standing side by side. They were saying their goodbye to Lord Elrond. Celebrian didn't make eye contact with him. She didn't want to leave Rivendell, and he was the main reason why. She spent most of her time with Lord Elrond. They rode together through the lands. They walked together through the garden, and the pathways of Rivendell.

Celebrian immediately went to her horse. She didn't say goodbye to Lord Elrond, or thanked him for his hospitality. She wasn't prepared to leave. There was something g about Lord Elrond that caught her attention. He was kind, smart, strong, and above all else, wise.

"Thank you for everything, Lord Elrond." thanked Galadriel.

"My pleasure, hiril vuin (my lady)." replied Lord Elrond.

Galadriel gave one last smile before she went to her horse. Her husband, Celeborn, helped her onto her horse by guiding her hand. Then Celeborn walked back to Lord Elrond. They bowed to each other, showing their respects to each other. Then Celeborn mounted his horse.

Celebrian was about to hop on her horse, when Lord Elrond came up to her.

"I hope your stay was satisfying." said Lord Elrond.

"It was, le fael (thank you)." replied Celebrian.

Lord Elrond took a step back, giving Celebrian room to mount her horse. Just when she was about to ride off, Lord Elrond grabbed her hand that was holding her reigns.

"I hope that I will see you again." said Lord Elrond.

Celebrian smiled down at Lord Elrond.

"You just might." replied Celebrian with a smile.

Lord Elrond let go of her hand. Celebrian rode off with her parents. Lord Elrond watched as Celebrian and her parents rode away. He hoped that he would see her again, but he wasn't sure.

"Farewell for now." whispered Lord Elrond to himself.
