Epilogue

Two years later

Thranduil's POV

My kingdom was shut to everyone. No one came or left. Legolas would be safe that way. I walked slowly to my room and pushed up the door. The pictures of Ellarian and I covered the room and her things covered everything. As I looked at them, something inside of me broke. I drew out my sword and slashed the pictures into pieces. I grabbed her things and smashed them into a thousand pieces. I let out a scream and dropped onto the floor. The door opened and Legolas ran in."My lord, what happened?" Every since his mother died, he called me My lord. And I hated it, but said nothing. He had hated it that I had not brought Ellarain's body back with me. I left it there for the solider to bury. "Leave me Legolas. Now!" The door closed and I sat in the pieces. Nothing would every be the same.

Tauriel's POV

I sat outside in the trees, the wind gently blowing my hair. Ellarian had been like my mother. She told me she would come back. I never saw her. It was forbidden to speak of her. Once I did and the king had fit and nearly killed me. Legolas stopped him and for that I own Legolas my life. How I wish for the music and laughed that there once was! The forest had grown dark and ugly. The king's heart became twisted with rage, hate and grief. I ran through the trees and on the path. I remember every time Thranduil got angry, He took it out on Legolas. I all most feel like he hated a Legolas and that it was all Legolas's fault that Ellarian had died. But none of this was anyone's fault. It was what fate decide. We have no control over it.

Legolas's POV

Arrow after arrow hit the centre of the bullseye. After I had run out of arrows, I sat down on the log where my mother use to sit and watch me. I sighed and played with wood on my bow. I missed her and often thought about her. I knew I looked my father, but on the side I was like my mother. Kind, loving and caring for those I love. I knew I argued sigh my father, but I forgave him and counties to love him. But after my mother, Father lost love. He never smiled or laughed. I looked up into the sky and whispered"I love you, Mother. If you can hear me, I love you." Green leaves fell around me and I smiled. She was closer than I ever knew, she was in my heart. Closer than anything.
