Nature

Thranduil believed that it was a very shameful thing for a girl to confess first.While this proved very attractive to his son, it also showed Legolas' sluggishness in some ways.

It couldn't be said to be slow, but Legolas didn't have such a prominent background. Thranduil looked at Arwen and Aragorn who were embracing each other in the center of the dance floor, and felt that his son's future was in jeopardy.

Legolas stood by his side, talking softly to him about the experience after separation, silently comparing what Eyaana said to him a few days ago, Thranduil thought with relief, although some of them couldn't be kept, but At least his son was honest.

"That natural light," he raised his glass and gestured to Legolas, "does she have a good relationship with her?"

Legolas looked up, very calm. "Yes," he said, "very good."

Everyone knows that you two have a good relationship!Did the scene in front of Baicheng make everyone else blind?Thranduil slandered silently, sighing inwardly how such a son was born.

His eyes were a little fascinated, he drank the fine wine from the Dovinian winery, he thought about the future, he thought about Legolas' request to live in Ithilien, and he thought about his daughter-in-law. general matters.

In fact, that decision back then was very correct, and the current development of the water elf queen is not the same as when they extended a helping hand to her.But even then, even if he gave her part of the forest on purpose, Legolas would not stay.

Seeing that Eyaana, Eomer, Glorfindel, and Lindyr finished dancing one after another, and Legolas hadn't made any movement, Thranduil muttered to himself.

"Maybe we really need to get in touch with her more."

He got up and walked towards Eyaana.

Legolas still didn't know how to clarify their relationship with his father, and he didn't know how to pursue Anna. He just vaguely felt that he had to seize this opportunity in Baicheng.

When Nen Rose returned to the City of Ice and Light, he told him that Anna might return to the sea after attending the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen, and he might also be pressured by his father to go home. Legolas was a little upset Confused, he didn't know how to speak.

Tell her directly?That's how she treated him back then, but considering the somewhat unpleasant past of the two of them, he didn't know how to break it.

Do you want him to say: "You once said you liked me, but I didn't understand my heart at that time. Now that I know I like you, do you still like me?"

What if she was too late to say something to him?

The ballroom in the palace is connected to the banquet hall. A long table is filled with all kinds of food. The sweetness of bread, cheese, honey, cheese and butter fills his brain. Plates of roast chicken stuffed with stuffing , potatoes and beef, flame pie, bowls of vegetable stew, baked beans in tomato sauce, and exquisite fruit slices on the crystal plate.He picked up a special cocktail and felt the fragrance of lemon, wormwood, and mint.

Anna was dancing with Glorfindel, Lord Golden Flower's arm was half around her waist, the two of them kept their heads very close, chatting and laughing.The elf's sleeves are decorated with intricate lace, the snow-white robe with a stand-up collar is dotted with a few Elano flowers, and the cuffs are intricately embroidered with gold thread.His hand moved to Anna's bare shoulder, the other took her hand, and the two spun around on the dance floor.

Around the neck of the water elf queen is a string of star-studded gemstone necklaces, and silver-white silk is tied around her waist. She swings back and forth with the long skirt that trims her legs. After a while, she turns to Aragorn with smiling.

Glorfindel's partner was replaced by Éowyn of Rohan, and Éowyn's partner, Faramir, danced with the female elf of Lorien. Legolas remembered her name. Herator, captain of the Lorien guard wife Frowen.

Thranduil walked over slowly, Legolas saluted slowly, and the two entered the ballroom.

"When will you go back?" Thranduil asked.

"It will take a while." Legolas thought bitterly, and he would not be able to come out again in a short time after returning.

"When?" Thranduil repeated.

Legolas was in a daze. He met Thranduil's eyes and knew that he couldn't escape.

"Father," he said, "I think it's time to break into your own world. At my age, you have already married and established a country."

Thranduil grasped a word keenly, "Then, do you want to start a family?"

Legolas didn't speak, he looked around and fell silent.

"You have a good relationship." After a while, Thranduil said, "That natural light, she has her own territory in the forest."

"It's really good." Legolas replied, watching Anna and Lindyr dance, feeling a little sad.

Did she not see him?

Thranduy noticed his son's gaze, sighed slowly, drank the wine in the glass, and put it on the table near the window, "To invite girls to dance, of course you have to take the initiative." He said, facing Anna walked in the direction, "A queen has no shortage of suitors."

The figure of Legolas seems to be hidden in the curtains, his silver-white robe is no different from the elves present, his golden hair is erected by the forehead crown, but the conspicuous golden hair seems to be in harmony with the light yellow gold-embroidered wallpaper and dark background behind him. The red-marbled curtains were no different.

He watched Thranduil and Anna dancing lightly, and he didn't know whether he was sad or excited.

In the end, he still didn't have the courage to confess to Anna. He looked at her gentle figure stroking the white tree, and thought of the beautiful forest of Ithilien and the shining cave of Aglarond, those unique things in the world, even It is not as beautiful as Tirian in the west or the long-lost Gondolin, or it is far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those great Vili, but for him, it will be the only one that cannot be replaced.

White flowers fell on her shoulders, and the fine crystals on the dark blue skirt reflected the soft moonlight. Her long black hair was coiled up and gradually turned into a warm light brown under the influence of light and shadow. Her long eyelashes slightly Hanging down, trembling slightly, staring intently at the white tree.

"Beautiful lady, may I have the audacity to ask you to dance with me?" he asked suddenly, and she was caught off guard and looked back at him with a bright smile.

"My honor." She said, putting her hand on his outstretched hand, he took her hand, put his arms around her waist, and danced with her in the most beautiful dance in the quiet courtyard. dance music.

They rotate, do not follow any rhythm, do not follow any music, stepping freely, following the singing of the soul, following the waves of the sea, and dancing to the music of nature, they are sometimes close together, sometimes separated, Sometimes turning in a circle, and sometimes walking slowly.She turned in front of him, and he hugged her from behind, feeling the warmth of his chest, resting his chin on her shoulder.

They are surprisingly coordinated, like a natural dance partner, existing for each other, resonating for each other, the dance gradually becomes quiet, the two cuddle together, and slowly sway.

His right hand was on top of hers, circling from the front, and her left hand was hanging by her side, being held by his left hand.

Thranduil poked his head out from the window sill to see such a scene. He stood quietly in the shadows without making a sound.

The son has grown up and has his own life and the woman he loves. He lowered his eyes and thought about leaving home.

During the day, Anna and Legolas walked on the clean and spacious streets of the White City. They watched the workshops on both sides, the eyes of people in the shops looking at them, and the war-torn city.

"My father, he wants me to go back," said Legolas, watching a child run past them and picking him up when he was about to fall. "Beware," he said in the Common Tongue .

"Because he is the person who loves you the most in this world, and also the person who misses you the most." Anna replied, a little dazed, she remembered the long midnight talk with Thranduil in the dense forest.

"I've grown up." Legolas smiled wryly. "I don't need his protection. I can take care of the world by myself."

"Being a child who never grows up is the dream of many people." Anna lowered her eyes, "But in many cases, life conflicts between the older generation and the newer generation are common."

Legolas stared at Anna, "I think your growth is rapid and forced."

The child fell down again, and this time there was no kind elf by his side. The half-eaten fruit rolled to the side of the street. Anna picked it up and walked towards the child.

"Yes, overnight," she said, quietly waiting for the child to stand up.

The little boy was about three or four years old. He patted his body, wiped off the scratched skin, and got up from the ground.Anna bent down and handed him the apple, and he murmured thanks.

Anna looked back at Legolas, "Then where do you want to go?"

The lady proprietress in the tailor shop is working hard to weave, the butcher in the butcher shop is butchering pork, the greasy hands grab the bloody raw meat and put it on the scale to measure, the lady proprietress in the hotel is talking loudly with the guests, bargaining, the drunk in the tavern is beaten The boss and a few guys drove out of the shop together, children were playing on the side of the road, and a few women were sitting on the side, chatting with each other.

"Ithilien."

They walked through the fourth floor, and Anna looked at the plain in the distance. She knew that not far away was that beautiful territory, the Ithilien that Legolas would never forget.

"Have you heard the call of the sea?"

Legolas smiled. "Yes, I hear that. But I think it will be many years before I finally follow my heart. Before that, I want to cherish the present moment."

"That's the most important thing." Anna also smiled, "We live in the moment."

Thranduil finally agreed to Legolas' request to lead some tribesmen to settle in Ithilien, and Legolas also compromised that he would return to the Green Leaf Forest from time to time.The relationship between the father and son has returned to a long time ago, but there is always some ambiguity.

Anna didn't mean to return to Kevio immediately, and Legolas didn't plan to say goodbye to King Elessa very early. They occasionally chatted with Arwen and Aragorn, and sent everyone away in Isengard Afterwards, he and the Elesa couple set off back to Baicheng.

The days in the palace suddenly became much quieter. After Éomer escorted King Theoden's body back to Mark, the rest of the guests separated at sunset.

Thranduil returned to the Green Leaf Forest, accompanied by Galadriel and Celeborn in the same direction.Galadriel embraced Arwen, and she bade Anna farewell quietly, holding her hands.For the power of the elf shall fade at last, and the light shall last forever only in Valinor.After the ring-bearer sails west, they will be separated on both sides of the sea. Maybe they can meet again after Anna obeys the call, but it will not be until a long time later.

Elrond solemnly bid farewell to Arwen. From now on, the father and daughter will go to different futures and embark on different destinies. As early as the moment he handed his daughter's hand to Aragorn, Elrond knew They will never see each other again.One's life will be with the world, but one's life will end up in an unknown area to stay with her lover.Elrond's face seemed to be much older at once, and his frowning eyebrows had not been parted. His sad figure left a great shock in the hearts of everyone and Arwen.

Gandalf and the hobbit returned to the peaceful Shire, and the four of them turned back to Minas Tirith, riding their white horses in high spirits.Although Arwen is sometimes a little sentimental, but with the company of her friends and her husband, she can immediately have a smiling face and look forward with hope.

Anna deepened her pleasure on the way back, chatting with Legolas all the time, riding side by side, never seeming to tire of such intimacy, her cheeks more wheaten than elves You can see the joy and liveliness of rose red.

Aragorn was also in high spirits. The newly crowned emperor and the overwhelmed love made his face glow with a light that didn't match his age. He talked and laughed with Legolas and talked about their former friendship.

Legolas seemed the calmest, but joy could be seen in every move he made. His blond hair was well-groomed, and he relished talking about his own future, planning the beautiful Ithilien.

The four rode horses and galloped against the setting sun, laughing loudly on the vast Pelennor Plain, spending their best years.

After returning to Baicheng, Aragorn devoted himself to the busy state affairs, and Arwen also had his own affairs to do, but it seemed that the two guests were more leisurely and content, wandering around in the palace all day long.

Anna ran to the library of the White City and soaked in the ancient scrolls. Her visit to Minas Tirith made her familiar with half of the stories, and now she was gearing up to conquer the remaining half.

Legolas also hangs around here from time to time, and after occasionally asking for advice on how to manage a territory, he will get tired of spending time with Anna.

He overlooked the prosperity of the White City from the terrace, and watched merchants from all over the city gather in this city, colorful carriages loaded with goods from all over the world, people in different costumes spoke different languages, elves, dwarves, and humans gathered In one place, all kinds of houses are rising from the ground, and the streets paved with marble are full of traffic. It seems that the whole world is no more than this at the busiest time.

"One day, Ithilien will become so prosperous." Anna stood behind him and said silently.

"That's going to take a lot of time to rule development."

"But you have endless time," Anna said, "you can plan slowly until Ithilien becomes the most beautiful place in your heart."

"Yeah," Legolas smiled, and he turned around slowly, "I have endless time to do what I want to do, but how boring is this endless time without someone to accompany you .”

Anna was slightly stunned, her brilliant blond hair became more and more brilliant against the light, which dazzled her for a moment. The snow-white floor was clean and bright, reflecting his figure, the sunlight came in, and the room was bright.

"Anna, the life of an elf is so long, maybe you can consider letting me accompany you through a lonely and lonely life." He took a step forward, his silver-white robe outlined his perfect figure, and he moved his lips as he said The melody she had only heard in her dreams was so beautiful that she thought it was a hallucination.

"I am willing..." She said slowly, her body walked forward uncontrollably until she stood beside him.

They stood on the terrace, looked at each other, and then looked into the distance, across the river, to the beautiful land before the mountains.The sky is blue and the clouds are long. It seems that on the land of green grass and in the forest with dark trees, their people will live happily there. under the rule.

Her story is over and theirs has just begun.

The author has something to say: it's over, let's sprinkle flowers.I hope the last sentence can be the finishing touch. The author has always hoped to write an epic ending, so the full text ends here.

After that, I will post a postscript, and then slowly start to revise the text, catch bugs, correct typos, etc., and proceed slowly.There will also be some references, some notes, and some trivial information about the article.There will be a timeline and emotional line released, as well as an outline and background information about the original work.Anyway, take your time~ don't rush~

☆, postscript

When it was finally finished, I felt a sigh of relief.This novel is not my first novel, but it is my first finished novel.After several years of ups and downs and countless changes, I finally wrote this first draft.

It was night after I finished writing the last word, and I had to go to class the next day, so I didn't change it very carefully, but the overall feeling came out.At that time, I was not very excited, but unexpectedly calm.

Looking back on the birth process of this novel now, I am quite touched. The experience of writing this way is not lacking in the support of readers and my own determination.I still remember that I first wrote Chapter 1 in the summer vacation of 14. After writing five chapters, I stopped writing, and it was not restarted until April, and it has not been completed until now.

In fact, at the very beginning, the outline of this novel came from reading an article by Forest Deer. At that time, the central theme was finalized—nature.

This story has been conceived in my mind for a long time. After being influenced by different excellent works, many versions have been changed, and the final version has been revised and revised for a long time.

Regarding Anna's multiple identities, at first it was the background of the heroine's identity in the independent novel, and many scenes in the novel are also a mixture of stalks conceived in my mind when I was a child.For example, Anna's identity as a mermaid is actually an orphan girl who gained the power of ice and snow because of the blood of a mermaid. She was persecuted by the people of Changhu Town and fled to the Dark Forest, where she was adopted.And the ending words were originally uttered by the male protagonist in another novel, but after the miscarriage due to Zong Zong’s reasons, those paragraphs that had settled in my mind for a long time came out when I first wrote the content preview, and then With the present ending.

I have to say that if starting this article is an impulse, then finishing this article is a kind of persistence.The road was very tiring and bitter, and I thought about giving up, but I still worked hard. The main reason is that I put it on the Internet, and under the supervision and encouragement of netizens, I realized my promise.

Thanks to those readers who left comments at the bottom of the article; thanks to the umbrella who was the first to leave a message and "big horned deer deer deer deer deer" who was the first to post a long comment, it is you who gave me confidence; ", it's your urging that keeps me going until now; thanks to "Qingfengzui" for his company from the very beginning to the last comment on each chapter, Xiaoqing's comments often revolve around the article, which gives me motivation while communicating; thank you " Ah Zheng me da”, I can see my comments from time to time; thanks to “Al” and “Xiangzhu” who appeared later, my comments also brought me endless joy; thanks to those netizens who have commented, thank you You spent a little effort to leave a message; I also thank those netizens who are reading this text in front of the screen, thank you for reading this.

I have so much to thank, because I know that an excellent novel can not help but make people happy, and it will also bring people some inspiration.For example, Fenglu Qingchou's "Dark Leaf Morning Light" and Forest Deer's Princess Gondor series, as well as some other articles I learned to write.

The tone of this article coincides with "Dark Leaf Morning Light" in some respects. I still remember that a certain point of view in that article inspired the routine of this article, and I also remember that I consciously learned from Maple when writing. Lu Qingchou describes the characteristics of the scene outside the plot, writes while studying, makes progress while studying, and summarizes while studying.

I don’t know how many times I have revised the outline of the article, and I have read the original book and movie over and over again. Every word is my painstaking effort and love, not only my love for Legolas, but also my love for words.

Finally, that sentence reminds me of the original purpose of writing.

I started writing because I love words, I love fantasy characters and I want their stories to be seen by more people.

May this pure love stay in my heart forever.

The author has something to say: put the timeline and emotional line later.
