━︎━︎━︎━︎𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎 be crowned King of Gondor and Ellaria was late. She had a good reason for it. Ellaria walked forwards with Legolas at her side, the Elves that were still on Middle-Earth trailing behind them. She came to a stop, a smile pulling on her lips as Aragorn approached them. He greeted Legolas first, placing his hand on his shoulder before turning to Ellaria who had a wide smile on her face. Aragorn shook his head. "I don't like that look, Ellaria."
Ellaria softly chuckled. "For once, it's not a mischievous one." She nodded her head behind her and stepped to the side. Aragorn furrowed his brows before looking past her and to the white banner that was being held, her father standing right behind the person who was holding it.
Arwen lowered the banner, revealing herself. She walked forwards, meeting him halfway. He gently took the banner from her hands and she lowered her head, but Aragorn placed his hand beneath her chin, lifting it so that she met his eyes. She smiled at him and then he kissed her. Ellaria softly chuckled, leaning into Legolas who wrapped an arm around her waist. The crowd applauded and Arwen softly laughed, hugging him. The Elves all parted as Arwen and Aragorn continued to walk through his people. He came to a stop when he noticed Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin.
The four hobbit's bowed and Aragorn shook his head, taking a step towards them. "My friends. . . you bow to no one." Aragorn bowed before them and the crowd followed suit, bowing before the four hobbits who looked around in surprise.

━︎━︎━︎━︎𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃, Ellaria had stayed behind, not wanting to leave her sister. Her father hadn't been happy about leaving behind his two daughters, but knowing they would look after each other he left. Ellaria lived in Rivendell still, the Elves that had stayed living there with her, even if they weren't originally from Rivendell. Although she didn't see herself as their Queen, she preferred herself as a guiding hand. They came to her with questions, recommendations, and they treated her with love and respect.
So, while Ellaria sat on her father's old throne, she had one person at her side that would never leave. Her husband, Legolas, whom she had married not too long after Aragorn had been crowned. Now, she had her own little family. Two daughters and a son. She often exchanged letters with her sister, keeping each other updated on their lives. Ellaria and Legolas had visited quite often, but after their children were born their visits became less frequent. At least until they grew old enough to travel a far distance that was.
Ellaria sat in her father's old study, a smile on her lips as she stared at the copy of Bilbo's story he had given her before he left the lands. Frodo had written about his own journey and now she had a copy of that too. She gently flipped through the pages, glancing up when she heard small feet rushing towards her.
Celebrían, named after Ellaria's mother, rushed in. She jumped into her mother's lap and Ellaria softly chuckled. "Father told me to come rescue you."
"Oh? Did he now?"
"Mhm."
Ellaria chuckled, lifting the girl into her arms and leaving the study. She made her way into the designated eating room, finding her other two children sitting at the table, softly arguing with one another. Ellaria gently sat Celebrían on the ground, watching as she ran over to her siblings. She turned her head as Legolas approached her and he greeted her with a soft kiss. Ellaria smiled at him before taking his hand, letting him lead her to the table. She sat at the head, Legolas sitting on her right beside their son, her two daughters on her left. As they ate, Ellaria couldn't help but look at the life she had built for herself. She smiled. Destiny had a funny way of making itself known, but her destiny had been laid out before her the day she accepted her first quest to the Lonely Mountain. As Ellaria looked at her family she came to one conclusion. She wouldn't change a thing.
