I Dreamt of You

It was a chaotic night. Most of Maisingale didn't get any sleep, most we're too busy welcoming back their loved ones, helping them to get healed, or crying over the ones they lost.

Dameia was lost in a blur of people running around. She had torn her eyes away from the Elven Prince. She couldn't believe she had just looked into the face of the man that lived in her dreams. He was really real.

Queen Sadaelia quickly ordered servants to carry many wounded into the healing chambers. Among those, was Prince Aidyn. Sadaelia and Thaerin followed their son into room, along with two healers, and shut the door.

Dameia rushed up the stairs, companied by Daerian and Linayl, heading towards the dorm their Parents we're in.

Legolas watched after them, a little confused. Why did she look so shocked when she laid her eyes upon him? He was sure he had never seen her face before. He noticed how beautiful she was, with her long golden hair falling into gentle curls at its tips. The way her emerald eyes pierced into his. She looked a lot like Aidyn, except for the fact that Aidyn had light brown hair. He guessed she was his sister. He took one more glance in Dameia's direction and turned to lead his horse and take his own Mirkwood forces to look for the stables.

The three siblings waited for what seemed like hours outside the room Aidyn was being held in. Linayl paced, Daerian leaned against the railing, and Dameia sat on the ground, her legs brought to her chest.

Dameia sighed and laid her chin on one knee. "It's been three hours already!" She groaned in frustration.

Daerian smirked. "It's only been about one, Dame."

Dameia looked up at her brother and smiled. "At least he is home."

Daerian nodded, and went over to Linayl, who was still pacing back and forth. He reached out a hand and stopped her in place. "Stop walking! Your already skinny enough, you are in no need of exercise."

Linayl rolled her eyes and went to sit next to Dameia, leaning her head against her shoulder.

Dameia wrapped her arm around her younger sister and leaned her head against the top of hers. Her eyes rested on the door they we're waiting to open, watching it for any signs of movement. After awhile, she slowly became lost in her thoughts. She could seem to think about nothing but Aidyn's health and the Elf. It was like he came to life through her dreams. She longed to go see him once more, to gaze at him, but she wanted to see her brother first. Dameia sat there for a long time, just thinking hard, until she felt Linayl move out from under her.

"Come on, Dameia."

She looked up to see that Linayl was standing up and heading towards the room. The door had opened. Dameia got up slowly, and strolled in after her siblings. Her eyes drifted to her Mother and Father, who we're sitting by Aidyn's bed. The she looked at Aidyn. She felt her stomach begin to twist and stopped walking abruptly. "Father.is he..?"

King Thaerin looked to his daughter and shook his head with a smile. "No, my dear Dameia. He is fine, but quite injured. He was blacked out, but he is only sleeping now. Time will mend his wounds, and our first born will be fine."

The children of Thaerin and Sadaelia breathed together in relief. Daerian was the first to step forward and walk towards Aidyn's bed. "Welcome back, big Brother." He smiled down at the sleeping form and kneeled down to pray against his bedside.

Linayl and Dameia stepped forward and kneeled next to Daerian to do the same.

King Thaerin and his wife stood up, and walked around Aidyn's bed to the foot of it. "Children, I am sure you are excited about all of this, but I must have to ask you to try to get some sleep tonight." Queen Sadaelia said softly. "We shall have a ceremony tomorrow for our lost ones. You may keep your brother company, but please try and rest."

They all nodded, and after they gave there parents kisses and hugs goodnight, they returned to Aidyn's beside.

Dameia sat in a chair on the right side Aidyn's bed, while Linayl sat on the floor at the foot of his bed, laying head against it. Daerian went and sat in a chair next to Dameia. "He looks different.." Daerian said.

"Yes," Dameia replied. " He has aged a bit over these past months." She reached forward to put her hand on Aidyn's cheek. It was no longer cold, but warm. He looked peaceful in his sleep.

Daerian later decided to return to his own dorm to sleep in his own bed, and gave Dameia a kiss goodnight. On his way out, he stopped next to Linayl. She was already asleep, still laying her head against the foot of Aidyn's bed. He leaned down to kiss her forehead goodnight, then left.

Dameia watched him leave, then let her eyes drift back over to Aidyn's sleeping form. She leaned over to kiss his forehead before letting herself fall asleep, wrapped up in a blanket in the chair.

The next morning, Dameia awoke to a sound of grumbling. Her eyes fluttered open as she realized she was still in Aidyn's dorm. But who made that grumble? She looked quickly over at Aidyn, and saw that his lips we're moving. "Aidyn!"

Linayl dizzily woke up. "Ouch.." She said as she lifted her head up to rub her neck. "I slept on my neck wrong.wait. Did Aidyn just wake up?" Linayl quickly scooted herself over to the left side of Aidyn's bed, the opposite from Dameia.

Aidyn grumbled a couple more times.

"..Aidyn..?" Dameia repeated his name once more. She looked across the bed at Linayl, who looked back at her. Then they looked back at him. Dameia slid out of the chair and kneeled next to Aidyn's bed.

Aidyn's eyes slowly began to open. Where was he? The room looked so familiar.Was he dead? His eyes we're blurry, so he blinked a couple of times before noticing both of his hands we're being held.

"Aidyn.." Linayl and Dameia both breathed, blinking back tears.

Aidyn looked to both of his sides and saw his sisters. "Dameia..Linayl..my dear sister's..I'm..home?" He coughed.

"Yes, Big brother..You are home and safe." Dameia smiled, letting a few tears stroll down her face.

Aidyn smiled warmly at Dameia. "My little Dameia.it is so good to see your face again little one."

"What about me??" Linayl piped up.

Aidyn turned his head to look at his youngest sister and gave her hand a tight squeeze. "It is also very good to see your face as well, my beautiful sister. You are looking more and more like me." He started to chuckle, when he began to cough some more.

Dameia and Linayl giggled softly. "Don't overdo yourself, Aidyn" Dameia said. "We are so delighted that you are home."

"As am I." Aidyn said calmly.

Aidyn's door opened and their Father walked in, smiling merrily "My Son! You have awakened!" Queen Sadaelia, and Legolas followed in behind him.

Aidyn smiled even more. "Good Morning Mother and Father!"

Dameia's eyes widened a little, setting her eyes upon Legolas. Seeing him, she realized that she had not had any dreams of him last night. She had no dream that she could recall.

"Legolas!" Aidyn shouted. "My dear sister's, have you met the man who saved your brother's life?"

Linayl and Dameia both stood up.

King Thaerin led Legolas further into the room. "I would like to introduce you to Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."

Dameia noticed Legolas shudder at the sound of his name. The Prince of Mirkwood. She had heard Legolas's name many times before. For he was in the Great War, and a part of the Fellowship of the Ring. This was the Great Legolas.

Linayl curtsied and smiled warmly. "Thank you so much my Lord, for rescuing our Aidyn."

Legolas laughed and smiled at Linayl. "It is your brother I should be thanking, Princess. For he was the one who led your troops into battle and aided Mirkwood. We wouldn't have been victorious without him. Our lands are safe."

"Hear that, Aidyn?" Linayl giggled. "You are a hero!"

Dameia stood silent, until her Father's eyes rested upon her. "Dameia? Have you introduced yourself to Prince Legolas?"

Legolas turned to King Thaerin. "Please, Sire. Legolas is all that's need to be said. I do not believe your daughter and I have been properly introduced." He then turned to Dameia and walked forward, gently taking her hand and bringing it to his lips. "Hello, Princess Dameia."

Dameia gasped slightly when he kissed her hand. "Pleased to meet you, Prince Legolas."

Legolas chuckled. His voice was so smooth. He brought his sapphire eyes to meet her emerald ones. "Like I said, there is no need to include Prince to my name. And the pleasure is all mine, My Lady." He gave Dameia a warm smile, and she returned a bright one.
