Chapter Seventeen, The Wedding

It was nearly a week later when Ninfea finally came round much to the relief of her family and friends who were besides themselves with worry. "Oh my daughter!" Elrond gasped as he sprint from his seat pulling his youngest child into his arms holding her tightly as she wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing her head. "Don't ever scare me like that again Ninth, do you understand?" Elrond said firmly pulling daughter away from him giving her a fierce glare.
"I'm sorry Ada." Ninfea apologised softly feeling absolutely horrible for scaring and upsetting her Ada. Elrond sighed pulling her back into his arms.
"I'm just glad your safe." He sighed into her hair kissing her head once more as he sat besides her on the bed.

It was a good ten minutes of them just soaking up each other's presence reassuring themselves that they were both alright. "Ada?" Ninfea asked softly breaking the comfortable silence they had fallen into. "Where is everyone? What happened? How long have I been out?" Ninfea asked once she had gathered her father's attention.
"Your siblings, their ones and Thranduil and his men are helping the people of Laketown settle, clean and fix up Dale which is where we are now. Gandalf , Radghast, Bilbo and all the Dwarves are cleaning up the Mountain. Gandalf is making sure everything is free of dragon sickness. You've been out for nearly a week you've had everyone besides themselves with worry, they come back and visit you all the time. Thorin has been crowned as King and his oldest nephew, Fili, has been crowned Prince." Elrond told his daughter.

"I'm sorry Ada." Ninfea apologised once more. Elrond kissed her forehead gently hugging her closer. "Don't worry about it now. How're you feeling?" He asked concerned. Ninfea paused for a moment assessing how she felt. Her magical core felt fully restored which was good but she felt a little sore but thankfully there was no pain. "I'm okay Ada just a little sore. My magical core has recharged at least." She said smiling at her father. Elrond sighed in relief feeling as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulder. "Ada." Ninfea said seriously. "Bilbo has the One Ring." She said shocking her father.

"We need to destroy it. I know you said only the fire would work. But what if my sword would? The magic of the ring feels exactly like the Horcruxes I told you about from my old world and they could be destroyed by the sword as it's imbued with basilisk venom the most deadly venom in the world. But if that doesn't work I can use Fyend Fyre which is a very deadly fire spell which should also kill it. Then Sauron will be destroyed for good and he can't come after me." Ninfea said rambling in her fear and panic.

"Shhhh! My daughter, shhh! Everything is going to be alright I promise. I will go and let everyone know your awake and alright and inform Bilbo the dangers of the Ring and what we must do. Don't worry no one is ever going to hurt you again I promise. Now get some rest I'll be back soon." Elrond said kissing his daughter's head before leaning the room as Ninfea snuggled down into the bed drifting off into a light sleep while she waited.

It was over. Sauron was no more his Ring of Power had been destroyed. When Bilbo found out about the ring he possessed he immediately became repulsed by it and handed over to Ninfea to destroy, which is did using Godric's sword and using Fyend Fyre to burn the pieces into nothing just to make sure.

That was nearly six months ago. After helping the people of Lake Town rebuild their lives in Dale as well as helping the Dwarves, Bilbo had returned back to the Shire and all the Elves had returned to their designated homes, the Elves of the once Mirkwood returned home to see their forest had returned to its previous state, the Greenwood, now that Sauron and his armies were vanquished. The Elves of Imlardis had returned to their own home. Before they left however Kili had started to court Ninfea and they would soon be married within the beautiful gardens of her home.

Kili has decided much to the shock of his Kin that once they were married he would move into Rivendale to be with his One as he was third in line to the Throne and he knew due to all Ninfea had been through she hated inclosed spaces. Bard had taken over as leader of the Now people of Dale and they were thriving. Doing trade once more with the Dwarves of Erebore, the Ironhill Dwarves and the Elves of the Greenwood. Gandalf has become Gandalf the White as Saruman had betrayed them ignoring Lady Galadriel's warnings and spoken with Sauron joining him briefly before Sauron had been destroyed, the once White Wizard had been striped of his title and his power thanks to a spell Ninfea had created and performed. He would no longer be a threat to the people of Middle Earth.

***

Ninfea was suddenly brought out of her thoughts of the improvement everyone had made in the last year since the Battle of the Five Armies, by a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in." She called turning towards her door as it opened revealing her sister Arwen. "Arwen!" Ninfea cried rushing towards her sister jumping into her arms and wrapping her arms tightly around her neck in a hug. "Your here." Ninfea exclaimed happily her voice slightly muffled by her sister's shoulder. Arwen laughed slightly hugging her little sister tighter. "Of course I would be here. You're getting married I wouldn't miss my sister's wedding." Arwen told her. "I'm just glad you had invited me after everything I did..." Arwen was cut off by her younger sister pulling away with a fierce glare on her face.

"Arwen that doesn't matter now. You're here and you've changed and that's all that matters." Ninfea assured smiling at her older sister. They have been having this conversation quite regularly over the last year since the war ended. Arwen and some others couldn't understand why she had forgiven her so quickly and had been trying to apologise and make up for it a lot since the war ended. But after everything she had been through before coming to Middle Earth and while being here Ninfea had decided to let the past stay in the past as life was too short to hold grudges whether you lived longer as an elf or not. Life could be easily taken away and Ninfea didn't want to have any regrets about her sister so she had forgiven her sister and let what happened stay in the past where it belonged.

And she told her sister this tears forming in the older Elf's eyes as she pulled her sister into a tight hug hugging her tight close to her kissing her forehead. "You are too good to me and too good for this world Ninth." Arwen sighed into her sister's hair. They stood for twenty minutes in the sweet embrace enjoying each other's company and relaxing in each other's hold. "Come, lets get you ready for your wedding." Arwen said pulling back smiling happily at her little sister as she led the bride out of her bedroom and to the hot spring baths.

After her hot steamy bath in the springs her body and hair being washed with an assortment oils that gave off the most beautiful aroma and left her body smooth to the touch and her hair soft and silky. She dried herself off put on her underwear and was wrapped in a robe and led back to her rooms by her excited sister. "Sit." Her sister commanded pointing to the stool in the middle of the room. Ninfea rolled her eyes a soft smile playing on her lips as she sat on the stool as her sister got to work on her hair and make up. Roughly twenty minutes later she was allowed to get up off of the stool her sister telling her to close her eyes and let her dress her in her dress. She hadn't been allowed to see her dress at all while it was being made, even when she was being fitted she had to close her eyes or wear a blindfold and it seemed that would be the case now and wouldn't be allowed to see what she looked like until everything was finished.

Trusting her sister Ninfea closed her eyes letting her sister dress her and fix something around her neck and around her head when she was finished dressing before some shoes were slipped onto her feet. "Okay open them." Arwen said smiling happily at her beautiful sister. People may say she was biased but Ninfea was most definitely the most beautiful Elf she had ever seen with her hourglass figure, doe emerald eyes, waist length blood red hair and her innocence just made her all the more beautiful and intriguing. Ninfea gasped as she looked in the mirror hardly believing the girl starring back at her was her. Arwen has truly outdone herself.

She had natural makeup making her green eyes pop. Her hair was left in its natural curls with the sides tied back in a very intricate braid, the Evenstar circlet around her head the chain hidden by her hair, a matching necklace hanging around her neck and the dress. The dress was absolutely beautiful. It was in pure white with a sweetheart neckline, off the shoulder sleeves tied with laces just above her elbow, the hem coming past her hands in a bell shape. The bottom of the dress was plain but the body of the dress was covered in gems of pure Starlight. It was an absolutely beautiful dress and she was glad she was only seeing it now. "Oh Arwen thank you the dress is beautiful and I...."

"You look beautiful Muinthel. Nothing I did made you beautiful you already were." Arwen assured holding her sister's hand and kissing her cheek when a knock on the door pulled them apart. "That'll be Adar." Arwen said looking at the door. "I'll see you out there Ninth. Don't worry you will definitely shock Kili." Arwen laughed with a wink dancing out of the way when Ninfea swiped at her. "Hello Adar." Arwen greeted as she opened the door. Elrond smiled at his daughter kissing her cheek softly. "Hello Arwen you look beautiful. Oh my daughter." Elrond gasped as his eyes caught sight of his youngest. "You look stunning."
"Doesn't she just." Arwen smiled happily. "I'll meet you both out there." She smiled as she made her way to the gardens where the wedding would take place.

As Lord Elrond came further into his youngest child's bedroom he couldn't believe how stunning his daughter looked and how grown up she was. His little girl was getting married. "What's the matter Ada?" Ninfea asked concerned as she brushed away his tears. Elrond smiled shaking his head as he kissed her forehead. "Nothing lellig." Lord Elrond assured.
"But you were crying Ada." Ninfea pressed concerned. Lord Elrond smiled lovingly at his daughter who was always so thoughtful of others. "It's nothing I can't believe how grown up you are. You are so Bein Lellig. Nîn pen melui." Lord Elrond smiled chuckling at the slight blush on his daughter's cheeks. "Come everyone is waiting." He said as he guided her out of her bedroom and into the gardens.

It was a beautiful affair, the gardens all lit beautifully the setting sun shinning on the water behind them. Gandalf the White was presiding over the wedding in Lord Elrond's stead as he was giving her away. As they made their way down the aisle Ninfea could see the Dwarves of Erebore and Dain from the Ironhills sitting near the front on one side smiling happily at her, Bilbo sitting next to them dabbing at his eyes with a handkerchief when he saw her.  On the other side were her brothers and Arwen with their Ones, her grandmother and grandfather, Legolas, Tauriel and Thranduil, Lindir, Lord Glorfindel and all the other Elves that resided in Imlardis. As she reached nearer to the top of the garden her breath caught in her throat when she saw Kili. He looked so handsome in his black and brown outfit with a little of green signifying that he was the Prince of Erebore. 

When they finally reached the top her father placed her hand in Kili's outstretched one nodding to her husband to be before kissing her cheek and turning to sit next to her grandmother. Throughout the whole ceremony neither Kili or Ninfea could take their eyes off of each other barely even blinking afraid it would turn out to be a dream if they did. They almost missed their spot to say their vows but luckily Gandalf gave their hands a little tap as he wrapped a flower vine around their hands bringing them out of their trance slightly.

As soon as they finished their vows and the vine was taken from them Kili swept his one, his wife into the most passionate kiss he'd ever given her, not even hearing the cheers of happiness from their loved ones. The prophecy had finally come true. After years of strive, anger, grief between the two great races caused by a conflict born years ago they were finally at peace with each other. The two great races bound forever by love and by friendship for all eternity.

Middle Earth was finally at true peace the first of it's history all thanks the arrival of Ninfea from another world and for falling in love with the Prince of Erebore Kili. The line of Duin and the line of Imlardis was continued as not even two years after their marriage Ninfea gave birth to two beautiful babies the first of their kind, as they were a mix of elf and dwarf.

A little boy named Zili in honour of his grandfather, Kili's father and a little girl named Belladonna in honour of Bilbo's mother for if it wasn't for her friendship with Bilbo and the help he gave her she had learned to open up and love again. And they couldn't be happier as they sat cuddling their beautiful children in the gardens in peace.
