Legolas awoke to a canopy of blue sheen above him. He felt he was on a cloud of sheets and his head was sunk in magnificent pillows lining the top of the bed. He rose fully clothed (glad to see the Lorelei had not changed him) and opened the glass doors to the world outside. Legolas stepped out onto a balcony of white marble and took in the beautiful scenery around him. He was in a palace of white and surrounded by a vast forest of trees, and cliffs with cascading waterfalls flowing in every direction. Below the balcony lay a lake like the one he had seen the night before, and it stretched to the end of the palace, feeding into the waterfalls. There were other Lorelei too. He scanned the surroundings for the creature he had seen last night, yet she was not to be found.

Legolas turned to go back inside his room and found an elderly man in a white robe of nobility before him. He assumed him to be the king of the magnificent palace. The man spoke in a gentle voice, "Your friend the dwarf has been found and was set on his horse to Rivendell, you too are free to stay here 'til you find yourself fit to continue on your journey." "Thank you, your highness, for the compassion you have shown me, and may I ask who it was that brought me to your palace?" Legolas responded. "Yes, well that was Lynia. And I am very sorry for the trouble she must have given you, she has always been a handful around the palace. A free spirit that one is. Well your horse is waiting in the courtyard stable, should you like to return. Lynia is most likely tending the horses to the pasture, as that is her favorite task to do," the king graciously replied. And with the final words exchanged Legolas set off towards the courtyard pastures.

As he entered the stables, Legolas spotted a familiar figure at the end of the barn, singing softly to a horse that she continued to groom. Her ears were keen, and knew he had entered once he set his first footstep onto the planks. She slowly ceased her song, yet not turning to look at the elf as he approached her, for it was his horse she was preparing. He cautiously spoke, "I never had a chance to thank you for saving me from whatever fate I was to fall upon last night." Lynia gave a brief nod and turned to meet her grassy eyes with his of the sky. She gave him a coy grin, flashing her pearly teeth. Legolas was once again swept away by her presence and took her hand in his. "I barely know you.." he trailed off as she opened the gate for his horse. It was already saddled and Lynia was waiting for him to mount and ride off into the distance and forget about her forever. He seated himself on his steed and let go of her smooth hand, gazing longingly into her eyes for one last time. He dug his heels into the horse's flanks and set off for Rivendell.
