-Tir'istar-
Saira awoke and continued her daily schedule. Hopefully her vision wouldn't make Legolas stop training. She changed, grabbed her bow and headed to the usual room where she and Legolas worked. Legolas was waiting there polishing her bow.
"Hey" she said softly
"Hey, we're not going to this today" he said setting his bow down
"If this is about last night--"
"No, its not. We're going to start working on magic again"
"Oh.okay"
"I want to teach you the magic reflection spell. It's simple but depending on the strength of the person will determine how well it works."
"Alright. How do you do it?" Saira asked
"Say these words, 'Entula en templa'" A field of light appeared in front of Legolas and disappeared in an instant.
"Amazing but how does that protect you? It was gone in a flash"
"It's used to repel someone else has used. It's needed in that small moment. Here, use your fire spell against me and I'll show you. But jump out of the way after you cast it"
"Okay" Saira said confused, "If I burn you again, I'm sorry"
Legolas laughed. Saira made a ball of fire appear in her hand and she threw it at him. As she was told, she jumped out of the way and a good thing too because the ball of fire bounced off she shield and come back at her.
"Brilliant" Saira exclaimed. However the wall caught on fire. "Yala onna en' alu"
Water appeared in the air and Saira directed it over the fire putting it out as it dropped.
"When did you learn to summon the elements?" Legolas asked
"In my spare time. No offense but there isn't that much to do around here."
"Ok, well now you try the magic reflection. I'll send a small fire at you and you repel it"
"Ok" Legolas threw the fire at her. Quickly Saira repelled it. Instead of going off and hitting the wall though, Legolas caught it in his hand.
"Good. That was almost too easy for you"
"Thanks"
For hours they practiced until she could fend off the strongest ting he threw at her.
"Excellent" he said. "But that last one got me pretty good"
He had a large burn on his forearm
"Come here" she said smiling. She said her Elvish spell healing his arm back to his normal smooth rich skin. She left but didn't get through the trees before finding herself go back.
He was confused by her coming back, "Did you forget something?" he asked
"Yes" she ran up and kissed him. She pulled away just as quick, "What am I doing?" she began walking away but Legolas grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He kissed her again and again.
Finally they pulled away. "Legolas?"
"Hmm?"
"What are we doing?" she said reluctantly pushing herself away
"I wish I knew"
"Ok, well before we're caught, I'm going to take a cold shower" Saira said leaving him
Saira went to her room and changed to go to the pool. She was alone at first as she sat under the cold waterfall. A few moments later, Liz and Ita came through the trees but he was looking glum as ever.
"Hard lesson?" Liz said jokingly but not too obvious
"Yeah" Saira agreed knowing Liz knew
"Don't let him work you too hard" Ita said, "You'll have a heart attack before you're 100. Maybe you should take a few days off."
"No, I'd like to stay in shape"
Ita surveyed her up and down. "You're kidding right?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Saira asked flattered
"Do you have a mirror in your room?" he said
"Yes"
"Then you would know that you could take years off and still have the same figure"
"If only"
Dinner that night was more enjoyable. Legolas and Saira were constantly stealing glances at each other and Saira noticed he sat much closer than usual. Saira felt sorry for making Liz endure it
Halfway through dinner, Saira tapped Liz on the shoulder but she already knew. Saira got up and ran hoping to get away from the crowd before the vision struck but she didn't make it and fell onto the ground and screamed. Many elves rose from their seats. Liz ran to Saira's side and took her hand. Saira squeezed it and saw.
Ganondorf was barging into his throne room just fuming.
"The damned Sun Champions are ruining everything. I'd have Osgiliath by now". He said, "Tir'istar! I want him killed"
Then Saira heard the woman's voice again.
"Why kill him when you can destroy him in a different way. Kill the son."
It ended with a flash of Ita
"Who's Tir'istar?!" Saira screamed
"Saira calm down" Legolas said.
But Saira already knew. The name was too similar. The pain started to vanish and Saira could open her eyes. Ita had a weird expression on his face
"It's your father" Saira said
"C'mon" Legolas said helping her up
"Wait. Ita, you're in danger."
"What?"
That night, the grounds were searched and guards were doubled mainly around Ita's room. Saira went to see him that night.
"Hey" she said quietly standing in the doorway.
"You can come in you know"
"I know" she said coming in and sitting down next to him
"You have no idea how hard it is for me to watch that" he said
"It's not too enjoyable to live it either"
"So my father huh?"
"I don't ask to see what I see" Saira said
"I know, but are you sure its me?"
"Pretty sure"
"Saira, are you alright?" he asked
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not blind. We've grown apart. You can't say you haven't noticed."
"I have. So much has been happening"
"No matter what happens, I want you to you that I care for you deeply"
During the night, Liz sensed Ita's feelings and it scared her so much she went to go speak with him. As she already knew, he was sitting on his bed thinking.
"Don't do it. Please don't do it" she pleaded coming through the window.
"Do what?" he asked
"You're going to go look for him."
"Who?"
"Your father. I sense it. You don't believe Saira, but she's right. You cant go."
"It's not me. They have no reason to kill me. I may resent my father but I am obligated to warn him. I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Please don't. I'm begging you Ita. I have a terrible feeling and I wont be able to live with myself if something happens to you."
"Nothing will."
"You don't know that"
"You cant change my mind."
"I can try"
"You're wasting your time.. But could you do something for me?"
"Ita, please--"
"Liz, no. I'm going, but I want you to give this to Saira in case I'm not back in time for her birthday."
"Ita--"
"Eriathiel" the guard outside his room caught her. "You need to go"
Ita shoved a small box into her hand before she left. He smiled weakly at her grim face. She had a dreadful feeling but she couldn't express it in words.
