Epilogue

"Naneth!" she turned her head to the sound of the familiar voice she had treasured. A young beautiful elleth with silver hair and eyes of piercing black simply glowed with happiness. No trace of her former suffering was evident in the twinkling eyes, her arms open wide for her, and her crescent smile similar to Celeborn's greeted her. Tears flowed freely down Galadriel's cheeks seeing Celebrian free of her sorrows, and she places her hands on Celebrian's cheeks, cupping her face.

Presence of pain has remained in the deepest parts of her heart, but in this land where the Valars walked with elves, she has found peace.

Galadriel had ruled Lorien with Celeborn by her side, she has been both guest and hostess to countless lavish dances, received various gifts and tribute from the greatest of lords and lowliest of men. She was offered power greater than in her wildest dreams and refused it. This was, in no small magnitude, the greatest gift of all.

To see her only daughter safe and happy.

"Welcome home, naneth!"
