[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

In the 100th year after crossing to the west, Ellena finally became pregnant.

In the world of elves, Ellena and Legolas, who were less than three thousand years old, had children at a very young age, and they were quite lucky. Many elves have not yet had a child of their own when they are five or six thousand years old.

Close friends including Gandalf and Bilbo, and relatives such as Lady Galadriel all came to visit the happy couple and brought their sincere blessings. Many of them were the first Witnessing the birth of an elf for the first time seemed even more exciting than the person involved.

"After this child is born, I can teach him to use an axe. With my teaching, he will definitely become a brave warrior!" Jin Li was so excited that his beard flew up, he stared at Ellena's flat belly and rubbed his fists, Ambitious to do something big.

Legolas mocked their dwarf friend with a half-smile: "Come on, I don't want my child to have a teacher who can't even ride a horse." Seeing Gimli blowing his beard and staring, he added: "Of course, if my children are as keen to form a deep friendship with dwarves as my wife is, I have no objection."

Elena glared at him, speaking as if he wasn't the one who insisted on bringing Gimli to Valinor.

Indeed, many people's expectations were placed on this child. The half-elf family has not added a new member for a long time. If there is no accident, the unformed he or she in Ellena's stomach will be the new heir of the half-elf family.

As for why it's not Ellena's dear twin brothers, it's because they don't feel the need for others to intervene in the lives of the two of them, and they have not chosen their own destiny for a long time and continue to roam freely in Middle-earth. , I just got used to the world of two people.

If you have any romantic thoughts because of this, you are very wrong. Elohir and El Ladan are just because they have never been separated since birth. They are both brothers and the same person. They look the same. The same thing is done, thousands of years have made their already close blood relationship even more unbreakable, Ellena often thinks that it is not impossible for them to stay single together until the next era, don't you see that they were born in double Glorfindel, Lord of the Golden Flower in the Tree Years, is still alone until now.

Of course, what Ellena was thinking had almost nothing to do with the above. She was sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun while flipping through classics in Quenya and Sindarin to name her unborn child.

"Oh, my God, what name should I choose?" Elina tugged at her hair annoyedly, "According to the practice of the Elendil family, it seems that boys will be called stars or something."

"The tree of stars? This sounds good." Legolas frowned and thought.

"Elorn, Elon, sounds like a boy's name," Ellena chewed on the name, although it was difficult to pronounce, it seemed to be good, but a new trouble appeared, "Our family seems to have The blood of twins, if it is a boy, one name is not enough."

Legolas nodded and said that this situation is entirely possible, but a good name is really not that easy to think of, so he thought for a long time, so long that Ellena almost fell asleep under the influence of the warm sun and breeze up.

"If there are two boys, the other should be named Edhelharn," came Legolas' voice.

Ellena opened her eyes, looked at her husband who seemed to be in a certain mood again, and replied with a smile: "Aragorn will be very happy to hear your name, Es Aherne, the elven gem, it's great name."

"And the girl's name?" Legolas asked.

"For girls..." Ellena frowned in annoyance, "To be honest, there are quite a lot of people with the same name in the elves, and many names have owners."

"Perhaps we can choose a commemorative name," Legolas said, "just like the name of Elurin, the son of Eluthir, means to commemorate Elu Thingol."

Ellena frowned and thought carefully. There are too many memorable people or things, and she couldn't make a decision at the moment, so she couldn't help closing the book and sighing: "Anyway, there are still a few months, let's think about it slowly. If This time it's a boy, so don't worry." She rubbed her forehead tiredly, pregnancy made her feel very uncomfortable, she seemed to have lost interest in everything, and just wanted to lie down and fall into a deep sleep.

Legolas clenched her hand worriedly. After arriving in Valinor, Elena's health improved, but she still often showed a lack of energy. They once visited the Doctors of the Vanya tribe, but they couldn't see where Elina's physical problems were. They could only guess that there were unhealed wounds in her soul and mind. They suggested that she choose a quiet place to recuperate, such as Wei Lorien, where Lailmo lives.

Elina didn't realize that her situation had gotten to that point yet. She and her relatives still lived in Aqorondi by the sea, which was the main city and port established by the Teleri elves after they came to Valinor. , the whole city is decorated with pearls and gems, and it is very beautiful. Its ruler is Olwe, king of Teleri. She is a close elder, so living here makes Ellena feel very comfortable, except that the elves living here are more accustomed to using Quenya.

The days of pregnancy were a bit boring. Before returning to Valinor, Elena was by Arwen's side when she was pregnant, and welcomed the arrival of Eldarion with her. During this joyful process, Elena Erlina has also gained a lot of experience that can be applied to herself, which makes her clearly aware of something wrong with herself, as if her child is absorbing her life energy, and as time goes by, this influence It became more and more intense, and when Ellena woke up one morning, she found strands of white hair appearing in her long hair.

Ellena frowned and stroked her round belly. She was about six months pregnant, and it was confirmed that her stomach was a pair of twins. The two brothers played and played in her belly almost day and night. She was a little overwhelmed, and she slowly felt that her life force was going to be exhausted.

Her intuition told her that these two unborn children would bring her mortal danger, but how could she abandon them.

"What's wrong?" Legolas sat up from the bed and put his arms around Ellena. He looked at his wife with a sad face, and soon found the white hair on her sideburns. The smile on his face disappeared immediately. It was replaced by a look of fear, he stiffly picked out a strand of white hair, and repeatedly confirmed in the sun that it was not his illusion.

"It's okay," Ellena patted his hand to comfort him, "I feel fine, and I'll be fine after the baby is born."

Legolas hugged her tightly, with a fear he had never felt in his heart.

A month later, Ellena struggled to give birth to a pair of twin boys, and then fell into a deep sleep again. Sometimes when she woke up, her memory was completely confused, sometimes during the period of the Lord of the Rings, sometimes During the Lonely Mountain mission, sometimes in the middle days, only rarely did she regain her true sobriety, trying to prop up her frail body to feed her two sons.

Everyone was at a loss, and this sad story was heard by Manwe all the time. The kind Vera was sympathetic and curious about Ellena's situation. Her situation was somewhat different from that of Feanor's mother Miriel. It's similar, but the difference is that Miriel wants to get rid of life after giving birth to Feanor, and Ellena had this situation before Xidu, but it got worse after giving birth to her son. And Miriel was always conscious and chose to die, instead of appearing insane like Ellena.Yavanna and Nirna interceded with Manwë on Ellena's behalf, and Manwë finally decided to summon her.

Legolas took Ellena to Mount Taniquetil and entered Ilmarin, the palace of Manwë and Varda.

Manwe looked at Ellena with his blue eyes, and his gaze passed through time and space, and finally saw everything. "Erlena, my child," Manwe looked at Ellena sadly, "I am sorry for the pain you have suffered because of the broken soul, but even I cannot take it away right now. your pain."

Legolas looked earnestly at the ruler of the world: "My most respected Alan, the ruler of the sky, please lower your blessings and redeem my wife."

Beautiful Varda sighed, and said: "Even Esther cannot heal her broken soul, unless she chooses to die voluntarily, recast her soul in the halls of Mandos, and is reborn, but there are Possibly, her shattered soul dissipated the moment it left her body."

Her words silenced Legolas, and Elena, who had improved slightly under the influence of Manwe and Varda, struggled to kiss his cheek and whispered: "Let's try, Legolas, Fear not, I will always be with you, and even if I lose my way for a while, the Star of Eärendil will guide me to you."

"Okay," Legolas blinked, his tears dripping onto the ruby ​​necklace around Ellena's neck, "I'll wait for you to come back, and if you don't come back, I'll go find you."

With the permission of Manwë and Varda, Legolas and Elrina came to Lorien in Irmo and Esti. Elrina kissed her lover for the last time, and then lay down and fell into a deep sleep. Golas was allowed to await her awakening here.

Time flies in Valinor, 100 years in a blink of an eye. In this long and short time, Bilbo, Frodo and Gimli and other close friends passed away one after another. Legolas left for a short time to attend the funeral and came back soon continue waiting.

Their sons Elon and Es Ahern gradually grew into teenagers. They inherited their mother's black-haired and black-eyed appearance and their father's lively and funny personality. Among the two, Es Aihern is better at swords and shields than his parents are good at bows and arrows. He inherited Rin Gir, but it is a pity that Valinor did not give him a place to actually fight. Eron is quieter, he likes to read and create, maybe he will become a troubadour in the future.

This hopeless waiting lasted for 500 years. Eron and Es Ahern both became adults, but Ellena still did not wake up.

Legolas was ready to give up, he went back to Okuto, explained everything before leaving, and was ready to go back to Lorien to find Ellena's soul, but this time, Elle Linna woke up, but she had forgotten many things, and the only thing she remembered was Legolas as her husband.

They went back to Aqualand together, and a year later Ellena bore Legolas their third child, a girl with fair hair, whom Legolas named Called Gloriel, which means "glory of blond hair".

They remained together until many epochs later, never to be apart.
