Last Goodbye (Book Six in the Aerlinniel's Secret Series)

Chapter 11: Rivendell

Aerlinniel POV

~9 months later~

I smile as Elarinya reads the letter that Bilbo sent me. He tells me that he has been doing alright and that he misses me. And he asked if I was ready to go on an adventure with him. If I am, he hopes to see me soon. And if not, to write him a letter to let him know that I am not ready just yet.

But I am definitely ready for another adventure. I am having a great time with Elarinya and Faelwen, but I have been getting really bored. I miss the adventure, I miss fighting, and I really miss Bilbo. 

"You are leaving to go on an adventure with Bilbo, aren't you?" Elarinya questions.

I give her a sad smile and tell her, "I have had a great time being here, but I don't like just sitting around here all day. I feel I need to get out and do something."

"I understand. Just, try not to be gone too long."

I jump up and hug her, "Thank you, Elarinya."

She backs out of the hug and asks, "When will you leave?"

"Tomorrow. Unless you want me to wait a few days." I suggest.

"No, you go ahead and leave tomorrow. I will be fine. I have Faelwen and Mallory. Just go let Mallory and Faelwen know that you are leaving tomorrow."

~the next morning~

I mount my horse after saying goodbye to Elarinya, Faelwen, and Mallory. I give them one last smile before taking off through the gates. I give my horse a nudge so we can go faster. I am so excited to see Bilbo, it has been so long.

I would ride straight there, but I know my horse needs rest so I can't do that. Although, when we do rest I do not know if I would even be able to get sleep.

When we make it to Rivendell, I give my horse to one of the guards and head into Rivendell. I am greeted by Arwen.

"Aerlinniel! It is so good to see you!" She greets me, giving me a hug.

"It is good to see you too, Arwen." I hug her back.

She backs out of the hug, "So, what brings you here?"

"I am heading to The Shire to see Bilbo. I decided to stop here for the night." I tell her as we walk down a hallway.

"Well, I am glad that you are here. Even if it is only for the night. I will lead you to a room for you to rest in." She offers.

"Thank you, Arwen."

When we get to the room she says, "Have a good nights rest, Aerlinniel. Hopefully I will we you in the morning before you take off."

"Of course! I will be leaving pretty early, just meet me at the gate." I tell her.

"Alright, I will see you in the morning then."

"See you in the morning." I say back to her and enter the room.

I find the bed and lay down. It takes me a while, but I eventually fall asleep.
