Nature

After Sauron's spirit body disappeared and the evil black tower Baraddur collapsed, Celeborn and Galadriel led the remaining elf army across the Anduin River and marched towards Dol Guldur in the Mirkwood.

The elves in the forest adjusted for three days after the three major attacks of the enemy, and held a small funeral for the dead elf warriors.

Haldir's body lay flat in rectangular tombs together with all other elves who died in battle, simple and elegant yet dignified.

The cemetery is to the west of Karasgarathon, surrounded by trees, which symbolizes Valinor, where they will eventually return.The elves set up three areas in the westernmost place to bury the warriors who died for Lothlórien respectively.

White Neferidil was transplanted in front of their tombstones, and small light-colored flowers surrounded the white marble. In addition to their names, the tombstones were engraved with the date of their death and a short epitaph.

"Resurgam"

The grass of the cemetery was removed, and when new grass grew again, the Elves' grief would be lessened, and those who had died in honor would walk beneath the white walls of Tirian.

Anna rode beside Celeborn on a white horse, and on the other side of him was Galadriel.They crossed the river in boats and entered Dol Guldur.After the shadow receded, the evil forces lurking inside also quickly dissipated. Galadriel pushed away the city wall, uncovered the cave, and purified the entire forest.

After they rested nearby, Anna went to check the situation in the Mirk Forest.She reached out and attached her hand to the tree, trying to heal the erosion caused by the darkness.

I don't know when the fire started, and it burned a beautiful forest.There was also a war between Daleland and Erebor, and Ironfoot Dyne died in battle, and the people were trapped in the mountains, but when the news came from the south, people came out of the besieged lonely mountains, and defeated the panic-stricken enemies, Dyne's son Thorin III became the new King of the Mountain.

On the eve of the Elven New Year, Thranduil's envoys came to Dol Guldur, and they camped at the ruins of Dol Guldur. The King of the Jungle met the two lords and Anna in person.

Anna was a little embarrassed. She remembered the holiday between herself and Thranduy, and didn't know how to face her future father-in-law.She lingered before Thranduil's tent, wondering if she should see the king before the official meeting.

She suddenly remembered something.

There was a war in the ocean, and when Anna crossed the Anduin River, she met Nenros who was waiting there.After the expedition team left the valley, she heard the sound of the waves, and knowing that her people had sent her the message, she swam back to the sea along the Graywater River.

The Ringwraiths planted the shadow of death on some sea creatures and bewitched them.Previous fish kills in the ocean were the work of those affected creatures.The mermaid manipulated the sea against those creatures, and finally defeated them.

"I swam inland after the Evil Tower collapsed." Nen Rose touched Anna's black hair with some surprise, "I met your little lover, that beautiful jungle elf, who participated in the final battle , is still safe and sound. He hopes that I can send him a message of your safety."

"Is he okay?" Anna asked anxiously.

Neng Luosi glanced at the elf who was joining in the fun, and said with a slight smile, "Very good, he broke in when I met the future Emperor, he seemed to be more mature, but his behavior was still a little impulsive."

Anna smiled, "Then is there anything important for you to come here?"

"It's not a big deal." Nen Rose said, "But I want to remind you that if you don't go back now, you will miss Elessa's coronation ceremony. But it doesn't really matter. I believe that Glen has just heard the news, and you can talk to them Let’s come to Minas Tirith together. But I have to go back first. Millyn told me about your rebirth. I just came here to confirm and ask about the situation. After all, Kevio Heilie has been damaged to a certain extent. I thought you could go back after attending the coronation ceremony, but now it seems that you can't get away, so I still have to go back quickly. But——" Neng Luosi stretched her voice, looked at Anna slyly, "—mainly considering your reunion with your elf prince."

Anna looked helplessly at Nen Rose making fun of her, and some eavesdropping elves covered their mouths and laughed softly.

"Okay, then I hope you can bring the news of my safety as soon as possible."

"Of course. However, I still have something to give you. Maybe it will be of some help to you." Nen Rose said, handing a small crown and a heavy bag to Anna, "You left this crown behind Rivendell, Udomir gave it to me before I left, and I brought it with me. As for the contents of this bag, I think it will be an indispensable gift for you to dress up for the dinner."

Anna untied the rope tied to the sheepskin bag, and slowly looked inside.

Dozens of round and smooth pearls, three luminous night pearls, more than a dozen different styles of crystal ornaments, mixed with earrings, bracelets and headgear, and some are beautiful gemstone necklaces.Rubies, sapphires, green emeralds, and purple and yellow crystals are pressed with silky ribbons at the bottom, which may be clothes or cloth.

They are so sweet.Anna thought silently, took out a few beautiful pearls and some crystal diamonds, and walked towards Thranduil's tent.

"Come in." A voice came from inside, and Anna opened the tent.

"Your Majesty," she saluted slowly, not a nod from her peers, but a respect from her subordinates to her superiors.

Thranduil was sitting on a chair, looking at her with blue eyes, very calm.

"I knew you would come, do you have anything to say?"

At the unexpected beginning, Anna was a little dazed. She had imagined countless embarrassing and embarrassing scenes, but she never expected it to be so smooth.

"I am here to apologize for what I have done. I am sorry that I once trespassed on His Majesty's palace and escaped without permission. Although there is a reason for this, I am willing to take responsibility for it." Anna said slowly, speculating Thranduil's expression.

Thranduy's long eyelashes drooped, covering his eyes, and he put one hand on the table, tapping the table lightly with his long fingers.

"What responsibility do you take? If I tell you not to enter Mirkwood forever, will you be willing?" He asked suddenly.

Anna choked, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her embarrassment, Thranduil changed the subject.

"I heard that your sea is rich in pearls and crystals?"

"There are also many beautiful diamonds and star gemstones, as well as silky ribbons like water." Anna wisely picked up the topic, took out a few pearls and a gemstone necklace from her pocket, thought for a while, and took out A few crystals were gently placed on the table.

Thranduil's eyes slid across the beautiful jewels without stopping.Instead, he stood up slowly, standing in front of the table with a slender body, his long golden hair hanging down, he looked at the moonlight outside the window with an indifferent expression.

"Congratulations on completing Vera's trial."

"I also want to thank Your Majesty. Without the help and guidance back then, I would never be where I am today."

"Since the dense forest is kind to you, then you shouldn't do things that are sorry for us."

Anna's heart sank, "I've never done this, nor have I thought about it."

Thranduil turned around slowly. His face was more three-dimensional than Legolas's, like a sculpture, with edges and corners.

In silence, Anna thought about what he meant, and she wondered if she shouldn't have taken out the pearls and gems so early.

"You don't seem to know me very well." He said suddenly, with a change in tone.

"That's because we don't meet much." Anna boldly replied.

"You've had a lot of contact with Legolas."

"Because I like him." Anna finally grasped the point. She mustered up the courage to tell her story, looking straight into Thranduy's eyes, "And I believe and hope that he likes me too."

Thranduy raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "You seem to have made a mistake in the order."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "No, Your Majesty. I hope to receive your blessing. Because you love Legolas deeply, and Legolas loves you deeply." She used honorifics.

"Heh," Thranduil chuckled, the indifference no longer appeared in his eyes, "You are right. But what if I disagree?"

"Would you?" Anna said slyly, she swore that Thranduil was definitely being tsundere, "but even if you don't agree, it's a good thing that we love each other sincerely. But if he doesn't like it, then even if there is Without your blessing, it will not make people happy."

"You are very smart and bold," Thranduy commented, "You will not be unwelcome here."

Anna showed a sweet smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe that if I can go back to Heili Kewei in person, I will pick out more suitable gemstones for you."

Thranduil and Celeborn met the next day, and they gave the forest a new name—Eryin Lasgaran, the Leafy Forest.Ana wondered if the name might have something to say about Legolas.

That green leaf.Anna thought, showing a smile, happy that yesterday's negotiation went smoothly.

In fact, Thranduil wasn't so unkind, maybe he had too little contact with him.

She watched the tall fair-haired elf confer politely with Celeborn, and Galadriel watched with a smile.

"You're very pleasant," she whispered to her. "Did anything good happen yesterday?"

"You know, ma'am." Anna smiled back, "I believe you are just teasing me now."

Galadriel showed an inscrutable look, and she patted Anna on the shoulder, "Come on, young man." She said.

"Perhaps the vast forest in the middle can be given to Kaimengting." Thranduil suddenly suggested, "To manage it together with Beorn and his people, so as to pay tribute to the protector of nature."

Anna raised her head in surprise, looking at Thranduy's expression, she couldn't figure out his heart again.

"Well..." She hesitated, "Actually, all the forests are my home. I don't think I have any other responsibilities and rights to this forest other than my love. And everything I do is to give back to everyone." Nature's kindness to me."

Celeborn smiled. "Perhaps, Eyaanna, but I do not think it a bad thing to have such a small habitation on land. I trust your friendship with Beorn and your love of this forest."

Anna thought for a while, and found that this might really help her, she gave Thranduil a grateful look, and accepted.

In fact, he is the biggest tsundere, isn't he?After all, he had thanked her last night for the help she had done for the jungle.

A few days later, at Thranduil's suggestion, the elves of Lorien came to visit the jungle.Although part of the beautiful forest was destroyed, this did not affect the spirits of the elves.The elves of Lorien enthusiastically helped the jungle elves rebuild after the war. Ten days later, when the grief was fading away, the elves held a starry sky dinner to celebrate the dissipation of evil.

Starlight shone in through the leaves, and in some places, in the clearings burned by the fire, the starlight shone unobstructed on the ground and on the blackened remains of trees.

Anna is working hard on the restoration work. She sympathizes with what happened to the forest and admires the tenacious resistance of the forest elves.There is no protection of the Three Rings of the Elf here, but it is closer to Do Guldur, but it still survives.

She has been in this forest for nearly a hundred years, and she is already familiar with every plant and tree in this forest.

Fortunately, with her efforts, many burnt trees have returned to life.

In addition to all kinds of beautiful jewels and several beautiful skirts in the sheepskin bag sent by Nen Rose, Anna changed into a snow-white dress that night.The dress is not like the noble and elegant tube top mopping the floor in the past, but a princess dress that reaches to the ankle, the chest is tightened at once, and the top is puff sleeves and snow-white breasts.

The skirt was studded with fine sapphire crystals, reflecting in the moonlight, and Anna danced joyfully with the woodland elves.

Galian was lucky not to die, and he expressed his pleasure to hear that His Royal Highness was also safe and sound.After dancing with seven or eight elves, Anna sat in the shadows to rest.

The dance was held in a clearing that had been destroyed by the fire, and some fallen trees that had not been cleared were decorated as benches for the elves to rest.

She randomly found a place to sit down and slowly sipped the drink from the long table.She couldn't help smiling as she watched the elves feast happily.

An elf walked towards her, and she looked up, only to find it was Thranduil.

"Your Majesty." She stood up and saluted.

Thranduil motioned for her to sit down, and then slowly sat beside her.

"You have traveled a lot together." He said slowly, "He...how is he doing?"

Anna was a little surprised, she thought Thranduil didn't need to learn about Legolas from her.

Seeming to see her doubts, Thranduil smiled slowly and wryly, "Galadriel told me that he would follow his own destiny to do what he wanted to do. Back then, you instigated him to run out When I was in the forest, I knew that his world would not be limited to this place.”

Anna knew it in her heart, she was suddenly moved, she thought of her parents.

"This is his home and will always be a special place in his heart."

"The elves were summoned by the Valar to go to the west. This is the fate we will face sooner or later. The age of the elves has passed." Thranduil said with some melancholy. Think about something.

The fate of this king is closely connected with this forest, and Anna can't help but feel respectful in her heart. He may not choose Xidu, but stay here forever, until his body becomes transparent, and he will never be seen again. See.

"I can't comment on..." she said, "I think that even if we have to cross west, we will not forget this land. Just as I love this world, this forest, this vast middle continent, but never Forget about my hometown, the place I can never go back to."

It seemed that she was really homesick, and it seemed that a certain place in Thranduil touched the softest nostalgia in Anna's heart. She suddenly told the tall elf everything she had experienced, and also told him The bits and pieces of her getting along with his son.

The starlight shines among the trees, and the elves are singing and dancing. She poured out some hurts and pains that have never been mentioned to the elf who may become her father in the near future. The shackles from blood are forever insoluble homesickness. It is the nostalgia for loved ones and the helplessness leading to an unknown fate.

In the near future, their destinies will be more closely linked because of the person they both love deeply.

The author has something to say: Seddy is arrogant again, in fact, he hesitated when he saw the jewelry.And, I'm not going to tell you that he guessed the possibility of Anna being his daughter-in-law the first time he saw her (it didn't).

In fact, Seddy knew the general identity of Anna when she saw the heart of the ocean, but it was not so detailed, and I buried a foreshadowing in Chapter 23, that is, from the very beginning, Seddy put Anna’s room Arrange it near the leaves.

Resurgam, Latin, means resurrection, translated into English is Iwillriseagain.

Seddy doesn't seem to have crossed the West, and after the leaves finally crossed the West in the Fourth Era, the age of the elves really passed away.The bodies of those elves who are still unwilling to travel westward gradually become transparent and are no longer seen by people.
