Aubade

by bloomsburry

She dreams of him at first. A man with long, blonde hair and pointed ears. In her dreams, the strange man is always singing a song in his foreign language. And she wonders and yearns who he is...until one day Kaguya Otsutsuki drops her in Middle-Earth and at the Battle of Helms Deep, where she finally meets him. Prince Legolas of Mirkwood. The man in her dreams. (Sakura/Legolas)

Aubade (n) - a song or poem greeting the dawn

Sakura doesn't know when she starts dreaming about him. A man with long, blonde hair and pointed ears. His eyes the color of azure skies. But she knows for a fact that she recalls the tune she hears him sing when she was still but a baby.

A song she hears in her dreams right before the dawn.

Anírach únad

Egor gurth hen

Han cenin vi chen lín

Egor ú-erin le devi

Tellin men achae

Brennin men anann

Rago! Ú-erich leithio,

Ú-erich o nin gwanno.

.

(You want nothing more

Than this death.

I see it in your eyes.

But I cannot let you

We have come too far

We have held on too long.

Reach! You cannot let go,

You cannot leave me. )

.

She doesn't understand the song, but she knows it makes the man sad and there is something about his sorrowful expression that renders her heart apart.

The man longs for something and Sakura wants to know what it is.

.

She is no more than eight years old when his songs become more haunting and she wonders the reason behind this sudden change.

Dannen le

A ú-erin le regi

Rang ail le iestannen

Lû ail le tegin na hen.

Gwannach o innen ului

Ú lû erui, ului.

.

(You have fallen.

And I cannot reach you.

Every step I willed you on,

Every moment I lead you to this.

You never left my mind,

Not once, not ever. )

.

Still Sakura wonders and aches for the beautiful man who seems to have lost so much.

And as she grows older, the man becomes a constant in Sakura's dreams. Always singing a melancholic song as the sun rises in the horizon while she sleeps and dreams.

He is always there with her.

He never left her mind.

Not once, not ever.

More than once, she wonders and yearns who he is, until one day she no longer does.

Until one day, she sees him...

Though no longer in dreams.

But as he is.

Alive and breathing.

And in flesh and blood.

.

Sakura blames it on Kaguya Otsutsuki when she lands in Middle-earth and at Battle of Helms Deep

However, she doesn't blame the Goddess for unintentionally dropping her in the same world as the man in her dreams, who turns out to be her soulmate.

The Prince of Mirkwood.

Legolas Greenleaf.
