Chapter 10: Epilogue

After they left Edoras, Legolas and Arwen rode towards Minas Tirith with Bainion in her lap. A few days passed and Bainion was fast asleep against his mother as they rode through the night. Legolas smiled at his wife to see her holding their son close. Bainion slept with his head on his mother's shoulder. Arwen could see her husband looking at their son and smiled at him. "He sleeps during a long travel," she sighed. Legolas nodded then when they came on top of a hill, they saw it, Minas Tirith. "Bainion, my son, wake up. Look we have arrived at Minas Tirith," she announced. Bainion woke up and gasped when he saw Minas Tirith for the first time.

"King?" He asked.

Legolas smiled and nodded. "Yes, my son, there is a King here. With his queen," Legolas agreed. Bainion giggled and started bouncing in the saddle with excitement. When they rode through the roads of Minas Tirith, everyone was greeting them.

"Welcome to Gondor, Prince Legolas, and Princess Arwen."

"Welcome back to Gondor, milord, and milady."

"Greetings Prince Legolas, Princess Arwen."

These were the words said by many of the women, men, and children that either saw, met, or have heard of them. Once they reached the top, Legolas got off his horse and walked over to his wife's horse and helped her down before she took Bainion into her arms again. Aragorn and Éowyn came out to greet them when they saw Bainion in Arwen's arms. "He is beautiful," Éowyn complimented.

"Thank you," Arwen acknowledged.

"How are you doing my friend?" Legolas asked.

"We're doing fine. We would like you two to meet the newest member of our family," Aragorn replied.

A maiden came out from the castle with a bundle in her arms. "Legolas, Arwen, we would like you to meet our daughter, Thèodwyn," Aragorn announced. Legolas and Arwen admired Thèodwyn with smiles on their faces.

"She's beautiful. You two must be so proud," Legolas commented.

"We are very proud of her. She's exactly three weeks old," Éowyn announced.

Arwen smiled before Bainion reached out to touch her. Legolas took the boy into his arms and then they saw that the two of them were going to be great friends when they got older, just like their parents. Then they walked inside to talk.

That night, Arwen was standing out on the balcony watching as the people of Gondor were going back to their homes after a long day. Legolas walked up behind Arwen and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You are so far away where are you?" He whispered. Arwen smiled and placed her hands on his.

"I was thinking about our life together. The brothers and sisters we'll give Bainion when he's older," she answered.

Legolas kissed the side of her head and thought about it. "Bainion will be an adult by the time we leave Middle-Earth," he pointed out.

"I know that," she answered.

After awhile, they went into their room and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Six Years Later

Legolas was standing on the balcony in Mirkwood, not knowing that his son was behind him. Bainion ran over and stopped to see his father's back turned to him. "ADA!" He exclaimed. Legolas turned around to see his son standing there. He hurried over to him and scooped him up into his arms. Arwen was leaning against the doorframe with a smile. She smiled as Legolas kissed the boy's cheek and he looked at his mother. "Nana," he giggled. Arwen walked over and she hugged Bainion tight.

"How was your visit with Aragorn?" Legolas asked.

"Ada, Uncle Aragorn let me ride Brego," Bainion stated excitedly.

"Did he now? Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, mommy and Auntie Éowyn were sword fighting in the gardens too."

Legolas smiled at Arwen and she nodded in agreement. "Auntie Éowyn had another baby, ada," Bainion added.

"Did she really? Was it a boy or a girl?" Legolas asked.

"It was a girl. Aragorn named her Gilraen, after his mother," Arwen answered.

"Hopefully next time they'll have a son."

Arwen nodded before Bainion yawned against his father. "All right, young man, it's time for you to go to bed," she commented. She carried Bainion upstairs while Legolas walked into his study.

Arwen walked into the study to find her husband resting on the chaise near the window. She walked over to him. Legolas felt something placed into his hand and opened his hand to reveal the Evenstar Pendant. "The light of the Evenstar does not wax or wane. It is mine to give to whom I will...like my heart. Go to sleep," she whispered. Legolas smiled before answering her.

"I am asleep. This is a dream," he murmured.

Arwen smiled back before leaning down to him. "Then it is a good dream," she whispered. Then they shared another kiss. Legolas pulled away slightly and stroked her hair. She stroked the side of his face before speaking. "Sleep," she whispered. She gave him another kiss before walking towards the window. Legolas sighed and looked at his wife.

"You desire to see your father again, don't you?" He asked.

"Of course I do. Do you not desire to see your family again?" She asked.

Legolas stood up and walked over to her. He wrapped an arm around her waist while pressing his forehead against hers. "I do desire to see my family again. However, I have to keep my word to Aragorn. I have promised him that I would stay until his body is buried," he answered.

"You made a promise that will last for a long time. A promise to a loyal friend," she sighed.

"Aragorn is my friend Arwen," he murmured.

"He is part of my kin."

"I am aware of that too."

Arwen could see that her husband desired to see his family again. However, he made a promise and he was going to keep it. They looked out over Mirkwood to watch the rest of the elves that had stayed behind because of their prince.

Years Later

Arwen watched as Bainion and Thèodwyn spoke. Bainion was a handsome young man and Arwen was pregnant with another child. Arwen knew what was to come, because she had another vision. Instead of her giving up her immortal life, her son was going to do it. He had fallen deeply in love with Thèodwyn as Thèodwyn fell deeply in love with him. Even though Arwen didn't wish to lose her first child, she couldn't get in the way in the path of love. the day that Bainion and Thèodwyn became betrothed, Legolas had arrived at Minas Tirith.

Later that night, Arwen explained to him that Bainion was betrothed to Thèodwyn, he felt the same as Arwen did. Their son did have the choice of a mortal or immortal life and as far as they could see it, their son wanted to be a mortal.

The day of the wedding, Arwen, Legolas, Éowyn, and Aragorn watched in happiness to see that their children were happy as could be. Arwen stood up and walked over to her son. Bainion smiled and hugged his mother. "I'm proud of you, my son," she sighed.

"Thank you, mother," he murmured.

Arwen kissed her son's forehead before placing her hands on his face. "You look like your father," she commented. Bainion placed his hands over hers before kissing her cheek. Legolas walked over and hugged his son tight. They watched as their son walked back over to his wife and they hugged each other tight. Legolas and Arwen smiled at each other before going into the castle to celebrate their marriage.

When it came time for Legolas and Arwen to leave, Bainion was their to say goodbye. "We'll meet again, sometime," Legolas murmured. Bainion nodded and hugged his father tight. "Take care of yourself, my son," Legolas whispered. Bainion sighed and pushed back the sadness in his heart to see his parents leave Middle Earth and they were never going to come back. Legolas smiled and placed his hands on the sides of his son's face. "A fine prince you have turned out to be, Bainion, son of Legolas," he chuckled. Bainion took a deep breath as Legolas kissed his son's brow. Arwen walked over with tears in her eyes as she hugged her son tight.

"I'm going to miss you, mother," he whispered.

"And I'll miss you, Bainion," she answered.

She looked at Thèodwyn and nodded to her. She kissed her son's cheek and then she placed something into his hand. Bainion opened his to see the Evenstar Pendant in his hand. "I cannot accept this, mother," he stated. Arwen closed Bainion's hand and looked at him.

"It is my gift to you, my son. In the memory of your mother and father," she insisted.

Bainion closed his hand and hugged her one last time. "Arwen," Legolas called. Arwen walked over to Legolas and she placed her hand in his. Once they got onto the ship that Legolas and Gimli made, they looked at their son one last time. Bainion had an arm wrapped around Thèodwyn then a little girl ran in front of her parents.

She had shoulder-length golden blonde hair, blue eyes, she was wearing white shoes, a white dress, and around her neck was the Evenstar Pendant.

Bainion picked the girl up and they waved to them. In the arms of their son was their granddaughter, Arwen Undómiel. Then they watched as his parents sailed off towards the west.

Months later after they arrived at Valinor, Arwen gave birth to a little girl they named Emiliaca, after Legolas' mother. A year passed and Arwen gave birth to a boy they named Aragorn Elessar. Then they had: Éowyn, Meril, Linde, Ando, and Lucanío. They never forgot about their first child, Bainion, and they had each other. This is the end of the story about Legolas Greenleaf and Arwen Undómiel, there is no more story to tell.
