Chapter Five: The comment of his truth

Legolas had left his love with the care of Arwen. He needed to speak of his father and Elrond. For he wanted to wed as soon as he could. For his love for her was strong and knew would never fade. Legolas walked in the corridor of where Lord Elrond was with his father talking about some old tales. He gently cleared his throat to get his attention. Lord Elrond and Thranduil looked up from their trusty conversation and saw Legolas standing there. "Son, we are sorry we did not see you, how long have you been standing there?" Thranduil asked. "Not to long father, but I have something I want to ask of you?" "Yes." "I am in love with no other then this one girl," He got interrupted. "In Love?" His father paused "This is wonderful news!!" "Father let me finish." "Aye yes please do." "I in love with no other then this one girl, I admire her beauty, her intelligent, and just plain her." He took a deep breath. "I am here to ask you if I could ask her of marriage." Thranduil eyes widened with excitement. It as in his eyes that firework exploded off into the dark sky. "What is this lovely wonderful Elf girls name?" He asked. "Saderiendra." His father frowned to the name. Elrond looked at Legolas like he was crazy. "Why do you stare at me like I am crazy?" He asked with worried. "Saderiendra is a very mysterious girl Legolas, are you sure you know all her secrets?" Elrond asked. "I will not dwell on my love for her, if she has secrets and may cause my death I do not care, I love this girl, no other will I love," Legolas said with fury. "Legolas, please don't get up in uproar, her secrets are nothing to your death but maybe to her own, but I do not know," Elrond said. Legolas calmed down and looked at his father. "It has to be soon." Thranduil smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, "So it shall."

*~* Under the moonlight sky*~* I sat on a rock near the lake and waterfall taking in all its beauty. Wondering what my love was talking about to his father and lord Elrond. I heard someone present and I looked up. It was Legolas, and in his hand he held one single flower for me. "Legolas, I've been waiting for you." He smiled and stood looking down to me since he was taller then me; elf maidens weren't tall as males. He put the flower in my hair and cupped his hand on my cheek and leaned down and kissed my sweet lips. "Why are we so romantic tonight?" I asked looking at him shocked of how he was acting. "Saderiendra I have something to tell you." I looked at him with fear and worrieness in my eyes. "You only take my breath away, you're beauty makes me swoon over you every day, the touch of your sweet lips that taste like sweet honey," He looked into my eyes with sparkles and pleading. "What I am saying Saderiendra I love you with all my heart." I looked at him in his eyes and had tears in my eyes. I took his hands and brought them to my lips. I kissed them and looked at him. " I love you too." He brought a gold ring that looked like a wedding ring. My eyes widened. He looked at me and took my hand and slipped the ring. "Will you be the honor of being my companion, my princess, my wife?" I had a tear fall from my eye and I looked at the ring up at him. "Yes!!" He smiled and embraced me swinging me around in a circle and kissing my lips softly. Arwen and Aragorn stood near and watched this scene. Arwen had a single tear fall from her eye. "Member our love to each other?" Aragorn asked. Arwen shot up and looked at him. "Yes I gave my immortal life to you, and became mortal." He smiled and brushed his hand across her soft cheek. "I'm glad that she found someone to love, Legolas is a great man, they were made for each other," She said looking back at the two. "Yes they are, as were we." Aragorn leaned down and kissed her. Elrond walked back in from the balcony and seeing the scene with Saderiendra and Legolas. He had just asked her hand in marriage, he got bad feelings from her but knew he could not stop anything. He wanted Legolas to be happy. But there wasn't much he couldn't do.
