The fire spit and crackled, as the flames burned the wood into ashes. The fire place was the only light within the room. The smell of pine and maple filled the air.

A man in white robes sat in a large wooden chair, in his arms, he held a small form pressed lovingly to his chest.

The others had long since returned to their beds. Leaving them, finally, this moment alone. All had come to an end, the quest had been fulfilled - but with a great cost. Only the Wizard knew how much.

The hand reached up and touched his nose and then proceeded to caress the wizards cheeks, lips, ears, and beard before returning to rest his palm on Gandalf’s chest.

“You’re alive?” The small voice whispered, still in disbelief.

“I’m alive.”

“You’re real?” The small voice questioned again.

“I am real.”

A soft sob was heard, and the wizard pulled the form closer to him, his head gently lowering onto the hobbits forehead. He kissed the newly washed and cut curls, that now smelled like roses and lilacs, and then smiled down at the one he had come to love.

Tear filled eyes met his own.

“Frodo.”

“Don’t leave me again,” The soft voice pleaded.

The wizard smiled. “Where ever I go, I will take you with me.”

And then, after staring at each other for a long time, they kissed, sealing the vow.

The End.
