Here you are, Guest! :)

100. Relaxation

Map read, swords identified, elaborate travel plans laid, there remained nothing for the company to do in Imladris save enjoy their final night there. Lilting elvish melodies arrested Bilbo's ears, holding him enchanted as their makers danced beneath glimmering stars.

He held a fierce grip on the thankfully low balustrade behind which he stood in awe, watching, listening. Moonlight played off of gleaming hair and robes; lissom limbs flew hither and yon in perfect rhythm and unity. The elves' song was one of joy and peace, of summertime in Aman beneath the glow of Valimar.

This is peace, thought the hobbit, knowing all the while that his adventure had only begun.

Here we are, finished with the countdown at last! Thank you very much to all of my faithful readers, and especially to my two daily reviewers, AzureSkye23 and ByASouthernLady!

Now, off to the theater! :D
