[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

Ellena felt that she had slept for a long time, and in fact it was a long time. When she woke up, it was already October 26th. Bilbo, who came to visit her, regretted to tell her that she missed the celebration of the dwarves, but Thorin Decided to hold a special banquet for Elena.After thinking about it, Ellena accepted the dwarf king's kindness, and she was indeed curious about the dwarf's banquet.

But she was not the only elf at the banquet, Legolas and Tariel were there.Tariel Alina can understand that she has just established a "friendship" across races with Kili - that's what Tariel claims, and she plans to stay in the Lonely Mountain for a while to learn their forging techniques from the dwarves, But is it really appropriate for Legolas to leave his beloved father and king and stay in the dwarven realm?Elena was very afraid that she would be strangled to death by Thranduil who had "lost her beloved son" if she passed through the Woodland Kingdom on her way back.

"I didn't intend to go back," Legolas said with a look of course, "and my father agreed, and he also gave me time to visit Elrond in the West."

How sad Thranduil was when he heard his son say he couldn't go back, this unfilial son!Elena cast a sidelong glance at Legolas: "You should know that you are the most important thing in your father's heart, more important than any gems. I don't want Thranduil's anger to burn on me."

Legolas sighed, and said with some displeasure: "Of course I know, but it's not like I won't go back to the jungle. I've been in the jungle for more than 2000 years."

Well, I dare say that this person didn't run away from home, but went out for a trip in a hurry, which is a bit different from Thranduil's hobbies, who stayed at home.From this perspective, Bilbo and Thranduil should be able to chat, they both like to stay at home and enjoy a comfortable life.

While thinking wildly, Elina tore a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth, her brows and eyes stretched out as she enjoyed the food, well, this must be Bilbo's handicraft, it's been a long time since I ate it.

Seeing that Ellena ignored him again, Legolas curled his lips, turned the golden wine glass in his hand boredly, and asked, "What is the important thing to do after the war you mentioned last time?" ?”

Ellena slowly sliced ​​the grilled meat on the plate. The grilled meat was just right, and pink gravy would flow out after cutting it. After thinking about it, she still didn't tell Legolas right away, but said: "I want to , I have to wait for that matter. You said you were going to travel around, did you go with us?"

"If you invite me, you can consider it." Legolas pretended not to care and lowered his head to take a sip of the wine. Well, it's not as good as the wine brewed by Jungle himself, but a little red at the root of his ear revealed that he was a little nervous now delicate mood.

Ellena laughed softly, and deliberately amplified her voice and said: "Then, I now formally invite you, His Royal Highness the handsome Legolas, to join us in our journey home."

The dwarves around heard Ellena's words burst into laughter, and all of them looked at the two with a look of understanding and relief on their faces. Bilbo, who didn't know what was going on, looked around, and asked Elena a little puzzled. Errina: "Why did Legolas join our team going home?" "Stupid, it must be because Legolas is worried about Elrina and sent her home." Dolly patted Bill Bo, Nuoli next to him shook his head disapprovingly: "It should be Legolas who went to Rivendell to ask Elrond to marry his daughter to him."...

Ellena laughed when she heard the dwarf's wild speculation, Legolas glared at her: "What are you talking about!" "It's nothing," Ellena looked at Leo with an innocent face Golas, "I just praised you." Legolas had no choice but to sulk.

It was so much fun to tease Legolas, Elina smiled and finished off a plate of tender and juicy roast meat, and continued on to the soup and dessert.

The moment of parting always came so quickly that Thorin, still in bandages (a spear had pierced a hole in his arm when Beorn rescued him, so that he could not meet Auri) himself sent them off. After leaving Erbor, Ellena received a special gift from him, a bright and gorgeous ruby ​​necklace.

"It's too precious." Ellena held the small box containing the necklace with some embarrassment. She could see the extraordinaryness of the necklace at a glance. The petals are extremely delicate, and the chain is thin, made of many strands of mithril twisted into filaments. It is very light, but it will never break. This is the work of a dwarf master.Girls like beautiful jewelry, Ellena's eyes are almost glued to this necklace.

"Errina, you are a good girl, only such bright flowers are worthy of you." Thorin glanced at Legolas without any trace, "And you are a member of our team, this is Your fair share, pass on my sincere thanks to Elrond for me."

Ellena solemnly agreed to him, carefully put on the necklace, and after thinking about it, she turned to Balin, the wise and sensible old dwarf in her impression, and asked, "Are you planning to return to Moria? "

"Uh, yes, we're still planning it." Balin was a little surprised, he had only told Sorin about this, but Ellena has always been surprisingly "sensitive", so Balin didn't suspect anything.

"You have to be careful," Ellena tried hard to say clearly, "The sleeping deep in the pit is the same as Smaug, no, it is something more terrifying than Smaug. You must be careful."

Bahrain seemed to have thought of something, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He didn't think Ellena would lie to them, because it was unnecessary, and believed that it was just a kind reminder, so he nodded to show that he knew.

"Well, don't talk about such unhappy things," Bilbo looked at his dwarf friend reluctantly, and tried to speak lightly, "If you happen to pass by Bag End, tea starts at four o'clock, and tea is enough. , and there is no need to knock on the door." Everyone laughed, and Ellena also smiled and said: "Similarly, if you pass by Rivendell, please don't be stingy with visiting time."

They took a serious look at their friends for the last time, hugged them hard, then turned and left.

Originally, Bilbo and Gandalf planned to leave the Lonely Mountain with Thranduil, but because of Elena's injury, they had to bid farewell to the Elven King ahead of time, and Bilbo also sent his gift ahead of time—— Sorin gave him a silver and pearl necklace. To be honest, although these jewels are indeed beautiful, they don't seem to be suitable for Thranduil to wear. This kind of hobby of collecting women's jewelry, Elina said that she can't understand.

Unlike when they came, they did not enter the dense forest. Even though Thranduil invited them to the dense forest hall as guests, some team members, including Elrina, expressed their unwillingness to enter the dark forest full of spiders and flies. The forest of moths, when Ellena said that, Legolas' face darkened obviously, but he had to admit that what she said was true.So they followed the rim of the forest all the way around its northern end, and across the wasteland between the Gray Mountains and Mirkwood.It was a long and tedious way, but now that the orcs had been eradicated, it seemed safer than the dreadful paths through the woods.

On the way home, they experienced many hardships and adventures. After all, the wilderness is the wilderness. In this era when the darkness is quietly making a comeback, there are many other monsters besides the orcs, but there are Beorn and Legola in the team. Si and Ellena, the three warriors, and the wise Gandalf, did not encounter any real danger.

Halfway through winter, the group returned to Beorn's house, where they had a rather wonderful winter celebration.Without the intrusion of orcs, the people nearby all had comfortable smiles on their faces. They sang and laughed by the fireplace, enjoying this rare rest.

When spring came the next day, the group set off again, although Bilbo was extremely reluctant to part with Bion's beautiful garden.They returned the same way, and the Misty Mountains were still tall and cold, but this time there was no storm, but bright sunshine. "After the fire comes white ice and snow, and even the dragon must have his doom!" said Bilbo, who now only hoped to get back to his cozy little nest as soon as possible.

Finally, on the evening of May [-]st, they came to the mouth of Rivendell Valley again.

The elves sang welcome songs, and what happened in the distant lonely mountain has already been spread here, but obviously Ellena's compatriots wanted to know more detailed stories, and they came to Elrond's residence with a group of people. There waiting for them.

When the wizard was telling the story, Elrond carefully looked at the little daughter who was sitting beside her and returned home. Unlike last time, the blankness in her eyes was like a smog clearing away, revealing the shimmering stars that were blocked. He touched Touching the top of Ellena's head, as if she was still a little girl acting like a baby in her father's arms, she asked gently: "So, you found the reason why you have to leave?"

"Yes, father," Ellena held Elleon's arm affectionately, "I miss you very much." Elena smiled, asked her about her travel experience in a low voice, and quietly observed the situation in Elena. The strange elf who appeared many times in Erlina's words, an outstanding young man.

It's Thranduil's son, Elrond's eyes showed a hint of an unclear smile.
