Brother seemed content letting things stay as they were for now. Everyone breathed a little easier. I advised them not to do so by much. Still; it was something of a victory for now. The three of us chose to stay in the city for now. Minas tirith would remain our base of ops for now. The royals gave us a master suite in the white tower to serve as our bedroom. Polyamory was still something of a revolutionary concept in middle earth; it was still super conservative compared to Themyscira; we were hippie like in some ways. Most of it was just cultural/world differences. I could see the many looks of disapproval. They looked away thinking I hadn't noticed; but I was a god; I knew. It was hard for them to say too much though. How many had I just saved; again? That wasn't arrogance; that was fact.
When things seemed to quiet it down I had my armor returned to the wonder plane and I went to my lighter middle earth attire again. The three of us had some alone time. "They don't approve of our newfound love," said Eowyn. "No; but that was to be expected," I said. "This place is conservative compared to my home. All we really care about are the gods and freedom. Everything else stems from that." Legolas smiled. "It seems much...freer than here." I returned his expression. "It is. We call our home paradise." Granted, my home was long gone, but it still existed in other parallel realities. Thus the tenses of past/present could get confusing. I quit trying to separate them long ago. Somehow explaining multiverse physics wouldn't likely work well with my mid earth lovers here.
I sat on Legolas' lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. "You were totally amazing out there Diana," he said. "Yes you were," said Eowyn. "We've heard and seen you do things...but that was truly the work of a god." Seeing was believing, right? "What will your brother do now?" they asked. "He could attack again at any time. The fact he brought a hundred thousand orcs with Arda's greatest dark lord proves he means business. And let's not forget Hecate." They were still stunned by what she had done in that hamlet. That was but a taste of what she could do.
"You were right Diana," said Legolas, frowning/shaking his head. "You said it early on; that fighting your brother would not be like fighting Sauron or the others. Those dark lords could be defeated or delayed for long periods, but him..." "Yeah. I'm sorry he came here and you had to learn this the hard way." Eowyn sat on the edge of our new bed. "All of middle earth is at stake now..." "Yeah." She frowned and looked at me. "What good can amazons do against your brother when only you can stand against him?" Ever a good question. I could only shrug. "I'm sorry love. I don't have a better answer to that." It was honest though.
Legolas set his arms around me and we pulled together closer. I loved being in their arms. It wouldn't stop brother I know but it was still helpful. We shared a gentle kiss. He tasted good. I could just be a woman at times like this; not the nearly all powerful wonder woman; not Zeus II. Tomorrow or now brother's insanity could happen all over again; but fighting that was my job until father said stop. He wasn't going to soon; that much I could guess.
"You created this unique love between us," said Eowyn. "We have you to thank for this Diana." "Yes, we do," said Legolas. Eowyn had also told Faramir about the changes in the relationship department. It would be hard for him but he was a good man that would find someone else soon no doubt (I wasn't opposed to four of us but maybe that was too much for these guys...). Hey, I didn't claim any of this was fair! Life was anything but fair; blame almighty pops for that. I'm not ruling things yet!
Eowyn then grew anxious. "Will our love last?" "I shall endeavor to make it do so," I said. "As do I," said Legolas. It was a fair question to ask. Anything dealing with me and brother and our central Christ/Satan conflict was ever up in the air. That's why I tended to live hard/in the moment. It was what kept me human and alive. Our Harry/Voldemort conflict would resume again soon enough; but in our case You Know Who never kicks the bucket. Now that's an odyssey!
Legolas carried me to the bed and laid me on it. He then laid next to me and Eowyn on the other side. We were still clothed. This felt like more of a snuggle session; I was okay for that too; anything to take brother off my mind. There'd be plenty of time for great sex later. Essentially sandwiched between them they hugged me tightly. We fell asleep this way. It was nice.
