Artemis and Tracey retired to their beds late that night, Tracey wrapped in the arms of her beloved and Artemis curled lonely and exhausted but feeling lighter than she had in weeks under a thick woolen blanket with their satchels tied to her waist. When Legolas woke he realized he was alone, a quick search of the room showed no sign of Tracey, or that she'd even been there in the first place. All that remained was the scent of her on his sheets and the faint blue dust of her wings on his arm. He stood and stared out at the full moon hanging huge in the sky and felt his heart crack with the loss of her. Unbidden the promise he'd made floated through his mind and he took a deep breath steeling his resolve. He'd sworn to her he would find Strider and remain by his side, he would do that, he would make that his life's purpose until he could find her again.
