The Hidden Enemy

Changes

Aragorn returned to Gondor and rallied his forces against the Easterlings and Haradrim.

He convinced Eomer to join him, while Legolas gathered the elves in Mirkwood and managed to get Dain to join them as well.

The battle was won easily, the two armies couldn't stand against the four.

Aragorn and Legolas had met Rilath again.
He had managed to reclaim his "throne" he had been shocked to discover that Aragorn was actually the King of Gondor.

Afraid that Aragorn would do something awful to him in exchange for what he had done to him and his friends, he had actually gotten onto his knees and begged Aragorn to spare his life.

Aragorn had made him swear to never step foot on his land again.
Rilath agreed and departed.

The Haradrim returned home without any trouble.

After that, everything went more or less back to normal for the remaining Fellowship.

The four of them had attended Gimli's funeral in Erebor.
Dain had offered them his condolences and assured them that there were no hard feelings between them.

Amarth had disappeared, where he had gone was beyond any of them.

Now there was one last thing that Legolas personally needed to take care of.

He was the heir to the throne of Mirkwood. The elves looked to him to be their leader.

Aragorn, Sam, and Merry were gathered with the elves in the palace.

Legolas was in the center of them all. He was dressed in a silver robe, he looked older, wiser.

Haldir was the one who crowned him.
Legolas dipped his head and Haldir placed his father's crown onto his head.

Legolas then looked up, he turned around and faced the gathered elves.

Haldir announced something in elvish.

"What's he saying Aragorn?"
Sam asked.
"He is announcing that Legolas is king."
He replied.

The elves responded to Haldir's words.

Legolas remained silent and emotionless while the elves spoke.

After Haldir seemed to have finished, the elves cheered for their new king.

Aragorn and the hobbits showed their enthusiasm as well.

Legolas raised his arms for silence and then spoke to his people in elvish.

Aragorn translated for Sam and Merry.

After Legolas finished more cheers followed.

Legolas waited for them to stop.
Then, to everyone's surprise, he began to sing.

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night has fallen
You have come to journey's end

Sleep now
Dream of the ones who came
Before

They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see
All of your tears
Will pass away

Safe in my arms
Your only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home

All will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
