I took his hand and turned to smile at Thorin, but he went back to his company. The notion was small but now at least they understood one another.

"Let's go home," Thranduil said.

"Legolas! Come on!" I yelled.

"You did it," Legolas whispered as he came up next to me.

"I did nothing," I answered.

"You helped our people as well as theirs," he said with a smiled.

"They helped themselves," I whispered.

He shook his head kind of annoyed that I wouldn't accept the credit.

"What are you two whispering about?" Thranduil asked, interrupting out conversation.

"Just how I clearly won our game," I lied.

"Is that why Legolas said you helped us as well as them?" Thranduil asked with a curious voice.

I forze for a moment then shrugged my shoulders.

"You can hear quite well," I said to him.

"I'm not that old," Thranduil answered with a smile. "Did you plan all of this?" He asked.

"Just a little," I said looking down.

"How little?"

"The letter and the arrow, but that's it," I said in a loud voice.

"You planned to shoot me in the shoulder?!" He asked very surprised.

"It worked didn't it?" I asked.

"Why take the risk?"

He seemed much more relaxed.

"I had to prove my point. No one is better alone, but everyone is better with someone else," I said while holding Thranduil's hand tightly.

"Never go behind my back," he said seriously.

"Don't break promises," I said looking at him with a big grin.

"What?" He asked like I had just exposed his inner thoughts. He didn't know that I knew his true intention about coming to the Lonely Mountain, but it did not really bother me. I knew that what was meant to be would be.

"You talk in your sleep," I said, trying not to burst out laughing.

Legolas was already laughing uncontrollably and I joined him. Just the other night I could hear him mumbling that he was worried I would find out he was going to break his promise. I guess we were both hiding things. Thranduil seemed slightly embarrassed as we continued to walk back home.

We finally returned to the palace and I wanted to get it done right away. I couldn't wait any longer.

"There was something I wanted to do before you lost your memories," I said.

"And what's that?" Mireth asked.

"Mireth, there were times when I was cold and alone. I wanted to hid in my walls, but then there was someone I wanted to protect, it was you. I kept you here with me and I know it was hard on the both of us, but I know it was worth it. I was given the privilege of falling in love all over again," I said, holding her hand. "I can't see the rest of my life without you in it. I promise I will always be by your side, so will you marry me?"

I sat on my throne, next to Thranduil. His hand was warm and everything felt so right. We had really been through a lot, but I wouldn't trade any of it. I still wear my blue ring on my right hand, but now my left ring finger is taken.
