Stella-of-the-Stars- I'm glad the reunion of our couple made your day :) It was the same with me when I was at school, I was writing whatever I was thinking and that was helping me.

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Lord of the Rings, I only own Sunglee.

The next morning, before the sun had risen, the Fellowship woke up and started preparing themselves for the journey. Legolas, feeling another man, reborn, remembered he had not told his friends that Sunglee would join them. So he announced the news once everybody was awake and while Sunglee was making herself ready in her room. Most of them seemed happy that she would come with them, for they appreciated highly her bravery and her kindness. Especially Aragorn was smiling widely, having understood what had possibly occurred. The only one who did not seem happy was the son of Denethor.

'She is a woman, Legolas! And a princess as well! And you are taking her with us at a quest with unknown ending?'

Legolas shook his head and had to try very hard to not roll his eyes.

'She is used in fighting, Boromir. She is a very skilled archer. I have faith in her!'

'Very well then, do as you please. But if she dies, do not say I did not warn you!'

'She will not die!' Aragorn interfered. 'Legolas is right! You must trust her!'

Before Boromir could answer, Sunglee appeared. She was wearing clothing similar to Legolas's, a knee-length brown tunic, leggings and boots, for it would be very comfortable for the journey and for the battles. Her quiver with her gold-feathered arrows was hanging around her shoulder.

'Good morning, gentlemen' she greeted them with a warm, gentle voice.

'Good morning, Sunglee' the others replied, Boromir still a bit angry.

Legolas smiled towards her and she smiled back at him. The princess was now gone, the warrior hidden inside her had come to surface. Legolas remembered how good she was when he was teaching her. He gave her a quick hug.

'Everything together' she whispered in his ear.

'In life or in death' he answered.

A few minutes later they were gathered on shore, with the Elves of Lothlorien present to say goodbye. They fastened cloaks with beautiful, green, silver-veined brooches around the Fellowship members.

'Never before have we clad strangers in the garb of our own people' said Lord Celeborn. 'May the cloaks help shield you from unfriendly eyes'

They all felt slightly worried because of these words, especially the eight men, who had in mind Celeborn's warning that their journey was not secret anymore.

Then Galadriel approached them, followed by Elves holding gifts for the Fellowship in their arms. First she stood in front of Legolas and Sunglee and gave them two identical, extremely well-made bows.

'My gift for you, Legolas and Sunglee, are bows of the Galadhrim, worthy of the skill of our woodland kin and of Imladris'

The two Elves stretched the strings of their bows, testing them. They smiled with awe, recognizing the honor of receiving presents of Lady Galadriel herself. Then the Lady of Light turned to Merry and Pippin and handed them two daggers.

'These are daggers of the Noldorin. They have already seen service in war. Do not fear, young Peregrin Took' she added, seeing Pippin's worried expression. 'You will find your courage.'

After Merry and Pippin was Sam's turn, whose present was elven rope made of Hithlain. Sam bowed his head with respect.

'Thank you, my lady' he said and after a small hesitation, he asked 'Have you not another one of those nice, shiny daggers?'

But the only answer he got was a smile. The next Fellowship member was Gimli, who diverted his eyes downwards.

'And what gift would a Dwarf ask from the Elves?' she asked him.

'Nothing' he grunted, as if he was ashamed. 'Except to look upon the Lady of the Galadhrim one last time, for she is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth'

This statement caused a giggle, not only from Galadriel's, but also from Sunglee's side. The Rivendell princess remembered the argument between the Elves and the Dwarves in the council of her father.

Surely the fact he has Legolas as a companion has made him reconsider his opinion about our kin.

Gimli started to walk away, then stopped and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But then he regretted it and left with the others.

Galadriel approached Aragorn and placed a hand on Arwen's Evenstar pendant.

'I have nothing greater to give than the gift you already bear' Galadriel told the future king of Gondor. 'Am meleth din. I ant e-guil Arwen Undomiel pelitha'

The two shared a sorrow in their eyes, for Aragorn was thinking the same thing. Although he loved Arwen, he did not want her to give up her immortality for him. He could not do this to her.

'Aniron i e broniatha ar periatham amar hen. Aniron e ciratha a Valannor' he said, with the image of the beautiful Undying Lands appearing in front of him.

'That choice is yet before her' was Galadriel's answer. 'You have your own choice to make, Aragorn…to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin. Namaarie. Nadath na i moe cerich. Dan u-eveditham, Elessar'

At last, the lady of Lothlorien stood before Frodo and gave him a crystalline vessel filled with clear water and a shining light. She kissed him on the forehead, knowing that his troubles had just started.

'Farewell, Frodo Baggins. I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star'

When she had finished, she left. The Elves started preparing for the departure of the Fellowship, with Legolas and Sunglee helping them. As the prince was placing a small sack in one of the three boats the Elves had given them, he held up a thin wafer for Merry and Pippin to see, who were sitting in the same boat.

'Lembas!' he explained happily, for he knew how valuable it was. 'Elvish Way-bread. One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man!'

As if trying to mark his words, he ate a bit. The two Hobbits nodded, looking very impressed. As Legolas was leaving, his ears caught the small dialogue between them.

'How many did you eat?' asked Merry.

'Four' Pippin replied. Legolas had to cover his mouth to prevent a burst of laughter to escape. He was not angry at Pippin, on the contrary, he enjoyed his jokes and his pranks. And now that Sunglee would come, he was feeling stronger and he was facing everything with optimism.

He saw Aragorn coming towards them while talking with Lord Celeborn. Surely he was warning him about possible dangers. Although now they would travel with the boats, the road was not safer, for now they could be seen from the shores. Shaking his head to get rid of the thought, he turned and helped Gimli and Sunglee to climb in a boat.

They left a few minutes later. In one boat was Aragorn with Merry and Pippin, in the second was Boromir with Frodo and Sam and in the third was Legolas with Sunglee and Gimli. Nobody was speaking, thinking about their visit in the magical land of Lothlorien, until Gimli broke the silence.

'I have taken my worst wound at this parting, having looked my last upon that which is fairest' he sighed. 'Haugh, henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift to me'

'What was it?' Sunglee asked curious.

'I asked her for one hair from her golden head. She gave me three'

Legolas and Sunglee smiled widely and the she-elf chuckled a little, something that did not remain unnoticed by the Dwarf.

'There is no need to laugh sarcastically, my lady. When did Legolas give you some of his hair?'

Sunglee blushed deeply hearing this comment, but Legolas started laughing loudly. Soon afterwards, the other two joined him and the breeze carried away their carefree laughter. The others glanced at them, wondering about the reason of this sudden joy, but happy because they were seeing Legolas laughing after a long time.

Many hours later it started getting dark and they decided to camp on a small island. Boromir looked out from behind a large rock, looking worried at a log floating in the water. Small fingers were clutching it and the top of the head was barely visible. Even though Boromir did not have the hearing of the Elves, he could still hear the noise coming from the unknown creature.

'Gollum! Gollum!'

Aragorn saw Boromir staring at the river and went next to him.

'Gollum' he told him, answering to his question about what this was. 'He has tracked us since Moria. I had hoped we would lose him on the river, but he is a very clever waterman'

He looked secretly at Frodo, afraid about this new danger. Gollum was the one who had the One Ring in his possession before Frodo's uncle got it. He had never stopped desiring the Ring, so much was he tempted by it. Aragorn knew Gollum would follow Frodo until it would have back what used to be his, killing the Hobbit if it was necessary.

'Have some food, Mr. Frodo' Sam said to him. Frodo shook his head, which made Sam's expression become sad.

'You have not eaten anything all day. You are not sleeping either. Do not think I have not noticed it'

Frodo looked at him, not wanting to cause him more troubles than he already had.

'Sam, I am alright' he replied, trying to sound convincing, but without success.

'No, you are not!' Sam's voice became louder in his despair. 'I am here to help you! I promised Gandalf that I would!'

Frodo smiled sadly at his closest friend, the friend he wanted to protect from the darkness that was growing bigger in his heart.

'You can not help me, Sam. Not this time! Go get some sleep.'

Most of them were sleeping, some calmly, some with nightmares. Frodo was mumbling in his sleep, Boromir was spinning around and Gimli was holding his axe so tightly that Legolas was afraid he would injure himself accidentally in his sleep.

He turned and looked at the beautiful, sleeping girl that was laying next to him, with her head on his chest, her black hair falling at one side. She was breathing rhythmically and he was grateful for that, because he did not want to see her upset again.

He heard a branch cracking and immediately searched the source of the sound, his fingers moving slowly towards his bow. But then he saw it was only Aragorn, who had stood up, walked a little and sat again, obviously restless. His hand went to the Evenstar pendant and Legolas understood at once. Carefully he rose up to go to his friend. Sunglee's head touched the ground and she woke up.

'Legolas?' she whispered, her eyes still half-closed. 'What is it?'

The prince caressed her hair smiling to her.

'It is nothing, melda, do not be afraid. I will only go to talk a little to Aragorn. Go back to sleep, you need to rest'

She nodded with relief and sank again. To make her feel comfortable, Legolas rolled his cloak and put it under her head, giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead as he was standing up.

'Sweet dreams, my sun'

He approached Aragorn, who smiled to him, and sat down. For a few moments they did not talk, but then Aragorn spoke.

'I am very happy for you and Sunglee. I always knew everything would go well for you. You are perfect for each other'

'Hannon le' the Elf answered. 'And I wish everything will go the same way for you and Arwen'

If he had hoped this would make Aragorn feel better, the hope faded. Aragorn not only felt better, but he became even more serious.

'I can not do that to her, mellon nin. Although I love her, I can not let her sacrifice everything she has because of me. If it was in my power, now she would be in Valinor'

'Valinor?' repeated Legolas surprised. 'But why? You can not live without her, I know you can not. And she will fall into depression away from you. Do you not remember how I was away from Sunglee?'

Aragorn looked at him with a way Legolas was seeing for the first time. As if Aragorn was an old man who was advising a child.

'You and Sunglee will never face this problem, for you are both immortal. Nothing will ever step between you. But even if I am one of the Dunedain and have the gift of long life, I am still a mortal. And when I die, Arwen will stay alone, mourning me until the end of time. As much as it hurts me, I will not let her go through this. And I am sure Lord Elrond agrees with me. '

'And what about Sunglee? When she left Imladris she had no idea about this possibility. How will she take the news she may never see her sister again?'

This seemed to slow Aragorn for a while, but it was not enough to make him change his mind.

'Sunglee is mature. She will be sad for some time, but then she will understand'

Legolas did not say anything, but as he was staring into the night, thinking about Aragorn's words, he shuddered and a shade of sadness and disbelief passed over his blue eyes.

Elvish words/phrases used:

Am meleth din. I ant e-guil Arwen Undomiel pelitha- For her love, I fear the grace of Arwen Evenstar will diminish.

Aniron i e broniatha ar periatham amar hen. Aniron e ciratha a Valannor- I would have her leave these shores and be with her people. I would have her take the ship to Valinor.

Namaarie. Nadath na i moe cerich. Dan u-eveditham, Elessar- Farewell. There is much you have yet to do. We shall not meet again, Elessar.

Melda- My beloved

Hannon le- Thank you

Mellon nin- My friend

A/N: Ok, guys, that was it, I hope you enjoyed the chapter :) In the next one, new obstacles appear for our friends, because, for once more, Boromir is tempted by the Ring.
