They talked for an hour until Celemir and Kaleniel walked in the room. "Lady Saywen, we're bored." He looked at the man and backed away slowly. "It's alright, Celemir, he is a good friend of mine." "Oh, ok!" he giggled and smiled at Isondil. Kaleniel liked Isondil immediately.
And now here's the real deal!
One Year Later
Legolas looked up at the banners flying high above him in the sky over Gondor. He wanted to return home but knew his allegiance was with Aragorn for the time being.
Saywen looked out the window with tears running down her cheeks. "Saywen?" Imbehir asked from the door. "He's not coming back is he?" Saywen turned toward her best friend beseechingly. "No, probably not." Imbehir wrapped her arms around her. "I'm sorry." "Legolas is dead. Imbehir, I have felt the cry of the gull for a year now. I am leaving in a week's time. I want you to take charge of Kaleniel." "Take the child with you." "Nay, she must find her own time." Imbehir nodded sadly.
A week later Saywen, Isondil, Beleg, Imbehir, their three sons, and Kaleniel stood by the gates. "Don't go, Mamma!" Kaleniel begged and clung to her mother's skirts. "I must, little one, but don't worry. I will always love you and will see you some day." "Are you going to see Daddy?" "No, my child, Daddy is dead. We will not see him in this life. I am sad to say that we must wait until the world ends." "Yes, Mamma." Kaleniel backed away from her mother and threw herself into Celemir's arms. The boy held his best friend close as her mother mounted a horse and road away through the gates.
Thus ends the story of the Elven slave and begins the story of her daughter, Kaleniel.
There ya go! It's all over no more! (Ducks quickly) I'm KIDDING! I'll post the next chapter soon! Hahaha!
