The return was rather silent

Nothing bad happend and nobody threatened us . It was almost boring .

It took almost other three weeks to finally arrive at the camp.

Finally we were back .

We accidentally met with hunters in the mountains and Celegorm and Curufin were their leaders .

They greeted us a bit surprised from our arrival and escorted us back to the camp.

The Feanorians went ahead of the hunters in order to inform their brothers and cousins in the camp for us.

I can't say that Celegorm and Curufin were happy about me returning.

I wasn't missing their faces either.

Huan although was interested in smelling us and our horses curious about the new scents we were bringing.

When finally we arrived in front of the sount gate the doors were wide open and people were waiting for us.

It had been a long time I saw these gates .

Among them was Maglor and Maedhros. Although Sanya wasn't there. Maybe they had not return yet.

"I was waiting for you"Maedhros said and got closer holding the horse from the bridles.

"I'm glad you came back safe Alex!" Maglor spoke beside him.

I smiled.

"It's been a long time since we left I guess..Im happy we got back safe too!"

The others had already got inside with their horses.

"Shall i pass? Or you want your horse back?" I asked Maedhros who was looking at me with an intense stare for a while.

"You promised me something remember?" He said with puppu eyes.

"Oh I thought you've had forgotten about..." I murmured . I couldn't get away from my promises.

He pointed at his cheek like a small child demanding attention from the mother.

"Brother!" Maglor said looking at him with a death stare.

"Okay ,okay I got it!"

I leaned forward and kissed Maglor instead of him.

Maedhros opened his mouth to complain but i kissed him too before he did.

"Here. Are you happy now?" I asked with a smirk trying to compose myself not to blush .

"Yes.. Still it isn't fair he got a second kiss out of nowhere. There was no such deal" Maedhros responded and offered a hand to help me get down from the horse.

"You'll have a second one someday" I added with a wink.

"How it was ? Did anything happened? Are you hungry maybe? Did You get hurt anyhere?"Maedhros started his runt again as we were walking.

"Brother relax she just arrived. I think we should let her rest first"Maglor said while holding him from his shoulder .

"Everything and Everyone is doing fine. There's nothing to worry. It was a success i can say. But .. will tell you the whole story another time" I explained. If I mentioned the wolf accident this time he would probably have fainted or something.

"Oh.. i See.. shall we escort you to you tent at least?" Maglor asked .

"I'd like to!"I responded taking his hand.

Maedhros jealous as always grabbed me bu my left arm without saying anything looking away.

"My lady should I leave your luggage at your tent?" Tristan asked already unpacking the stuff of his horse few meters away.

"You want me to help you?" I asked but he denied.

"It's okay Emyr and Idwar will help. These two rascals don't do anything either way."

"Leave them in front of the Healers tent"

"As you order m'lady"he responded with a smile.

"I hope you didn't quit you training sessions with Fingon" I said to Maedhros .

"I did not. There's no need to worry about that"

"And where's he now? I didn't see him at the gate"

"He went to his father to announce him the news. Hes propably with him now"

"I see...Did the others came back?"I asked them.

"Yes two weeks ago" Maglor answered.

"Oh really" I murmured.

Sanya wasn't waiting in the gate.

Where was she then?

Did she stay in the Harbour with her grandmother?

It could be a possible anwer.

"Did everyone return from the Harbour?"

"Of course. If you're referring to Sanya.. Yes she came back too" Maedhros said.

"She better have a good excuse why she wasn't waiting for me " I grunted.

"Did you find what were you seeking?" Maglor whispered beside me.

I touched the gem on the star.

"I think I did"

"Hey what are you two whispering" Maedhros barked demanding attention again.

"Nothing important! What about going for a horse ride tomorrow?"I changed the subject.

"That would be a great idea! If you think you got enough rest of course!"

"You can take my horse again! " Maedhros added.

"Don't forget telling everyone about this"

"Of course not!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was in the same from the day we left. The sun was shining and the north wind was blowing on the fields.

It was almost nostalgic.

Elves don't change that quickly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After our return I was supposed to meet the King and recite our journey.

But I had one thing left to do.

I bursted into the healers tent yelling.

"Guess whos back!"

Sanys was there with the boys having a chat.

"Alex!"They all said at the same time having the same suprised expression on their faces

"Don't tell me you just learned i got back?" I said crossing my arms.

"We thought that were just the hunters returning! "

"I'll take that as an apology for not coming to greet me" I murmured and opened my arms again to hug her.

"I missed you!"she said and hugged me tightly.

"We missed you!" The boys corrected in one voice and came for a big hug.

"So how was the journey?"

"Did you saw the King?"

"What do they eat?"

"It was boring?"

The boys started bombarding me with questions.

"One at a time! I have to ask you questions too!" I said looking at Sanya.

"Did you meet your gradma?" I asked her.

"I did" she responded with a smile took of a small necklace from her neck.

It was a a simple string with a seadhell but I had not see such a beautiful necklace before.

The shell was shining in all the colours of the rainbow.

I definitely had to go to the Harbour one day.

"A present "

"I did not forget you too"

Einar had gifted me a bracelet with a leaf on it. It was time to change owner.

"Thats for you" I said and gave it to her.

"What about us?" Gwental asked.

"How could i forget you guys! Theres Teleri food in my luggage! You're free to eat it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the " interviews" from the healer gang and the King I was finally free to do whatever i wanted.

Rest was my first and only option.

Everything else I had to do was the other day.

At last I laid on my bed exhausted and murmured.

~Not all those who wander are lost~
