Chapter 37- Revelations

Leyadriel had never been so happy in her life, joyous tears streamed down her face. Arwen and Legolas couldn't understand what she was saying; things like 'He forgave me.' Or 'She will be gone soon too!' or 'It will happen, so soon, so soon.'

After an hour she finally calmed, Legolas put a hand on each of her shoulders and looked her square in the face, "Please, melethnin, tell me what they did to you." {my love}

The ethereal happiness in her eyes sank into the normal shine and she smiled broadly, "I'm sorry I've been so hysterical, melethnin, but for the first time ever...they've done nothing to me. They didn't do more then glare at me!!"

She embraced him happily and he clutched her against him and inhaled deeply, Arwen looked on seeing the care between them and noting it.

"How is that possible, miramin?" {my jewel} He breathed.

"Adanin! Ada! He was there, in my dreams." {My father, daddy} Leyadriel pulled out of his embrace so she could look into his eyes, "He protected me from them. He gave me this liquid to protect me when he can't be there."

She displayed the small bottle in her hands as proof. Legolas' eyes widened excitedly, "No more dreams, meleth? You're free?"

At this Leyadriel's eyes fell and her joy was dampened, "Free until this vial is empty. A sip is salvation but when the bottle is dry the dreams return. He advised me to use it wisely and I fully intend on doing so."

Arwen took the bottle from Leyadriel's hands and looked at it, "It shall be kept safe so that it cannot be tampered with."

Leyadriel gripped her mother's arm sharply and looked at her with a stricken face, "Atar." {Mother.}

The grief in her daughter's eyes passed to her a message without words that was so powerful and strong that Arwen was catapulted into the alert of a mother, "Iel, mani marte? Mani naa ta?" {Daughter, what happened? What is it?}

"Lle, Atara, lle...lle naa fir." Leyadriel's voice was a pained whisper as she spoke the words. {You, mommy, you..you are mortal.}

"Uma hin-nin?" {Yes, my child?} She asked not certain she wanted to know why her daughter, who had just been so happy, now looked so overly depressed.

"Time is not merciful. I love you mother, I love you so much." Leyadriel pulled her mother into a fierce embrace and quickly ended it, tracing the dark bags under her mother's eyes with her fingertips tenderly, "I shall miss you so greatly, ataramin." {My mommy}

Arwen's eyes gazed meaningfully into her daughter's, "How did you know?"

"Adar told me." Leyadriel muttered and Legolas suddenly cut in, "Told you what?"

Arwen's head bowed and she mumbled, "I am fading, mellon, fading from this world. Not in the sense of the elves, but I no longer find a reason to continue living without him………so I shall be with him soon."

Legolas was shocked by this news, he had not expected this from the Evenstar...once his Evenstar and yet it was happening. If you looked closely, you could almost see it in the way the gray had seeped into her raven hair and how the sparkle was extinguished from her eyes, how the lines of her face had grown heavy and how even her presence had dampened. He swallowed the lump of ache that had formed in his throat and clutched Leyadriel's hand tightly, for her comfort and for his.

Arwen saw the impact of the elvish prince and the deep seeded grief in her elfling and kissed each of their cheeks and said, "I shall find a safe place for my daughter's salvation." Then her jaw tightened, "I think that Elaren should not be told about this vial."

Leyadriel and Legolas nodded gravely and a knock came to the door, Arwen opened it and Eldarion stood there, "May I see Leyadriel?"

Arwen pressed a hand against her son's chest and said, "Speak with me fro now, my son, you may see your sister later."

Despite his objections Eldarion was led away by his mother and Leyadriel was left alone with Legolas. She stroked his cheek and whispered, "My father told me to give you a message. I don't understand it but he said that you would. I know you are probably feeling far too many emotions right now, I will tell you later, meleth."

He nodded numbly and tried to accept everything that had happened in his life over the past few days. He simply wanted to find a moment of peace. Of calm. Leyadriel smiled and kissed his temple, collected him in her arms and bid him lay beside her. He obeyed and he laid in her arms, beside her on her bed and she hummed on old tune he had never heard, it was soothing and soft. She just continued to pet his hair and hum until he was lulled into a state of complete calm. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her, "Diolla lle, meleth." {Thank you, love.}

"Creosolle." {Your welcome.}

He knew that Leyadriel's heart carried a burden like his own but he had been pampering her and comforting her, now it was his turn. Legolas kissed her cheek fondly and sighed, "What is it your father wanted you to tell me?"

"That your heart was wiser then he would ever be. That you were right and he was a fool." She paused, "What did he mean?"

Legolas' smile broadened but his joy at the words was somewhat lessened by the weight of all the grief and trails of recent days. He gripped her and pressed a long and loving kiss to her lips before peeling his mouth from hers and whispering to her, "At first, when I told your father how I felt about you, he forbid it. Told me I would not love you if I cherished my friendship with him I would keep my distance from you. Obviously I did not and I was consumed by grief when I realized I would not be able to confront him about it but now we have your father's blessing. Hopefully we will also gain your mother's, but having Aragorn's gives me warmth in my heart."

Leyadriel listened and was shocked that her father would say such a thing to Legolas but she was not allowed to rebuke, Legolas pressed his forefinger against her lips to silence her.

"He meant well, please do not disrespect his good memory." And Leyadriel nodded, but he would not remove his fingers from her lips, she kissed them and then they snaked around her neck and found her nape, pulling her towards him and holding her to his kiss.

She laid her head on his chest once her lips were released and they simply rested and existed in each other's arms until the brightest sun rays leaked into her room. They were finally together, and for a moment pushed all of their strife from their lives and just held each other and loved each other and all the world's grief turned a blind eye upon them.

Then a gentle knock came to her door and she heard her brother's voice ask politely, "Leyadriel, little sister, may I come in?"
