Chapter 25

The wedding of Aragorn and Arwen passed off smoothly the next day. Faith was forgotten in the celebrations, her horse had not yet returned riderless for Faith had ridden far the day before. It was only late in the evening after most had gone to bed that her horse returned and her absence was noticed.

"That we should have forgotten her!" Exclaimed Merry when the news was brought to the fellowship by Pelarden.

"I hope she is unharmed. I would blame myself for ignoring you yesterday Frodo." Gimli stated quietly before leaping up from where he was sitting. "My Lady!" he cried.

Galadriel slowly nodded in greeting to Gimli before addressing the fellowship.

"Where is the one that was called? The one known as Faith?"

"She is missing. Her horse returned riderless less than an hour ago." Answered Legolas.

Galadriel looked at each member of the fellowship in turn, gazing deeply into each of their eyes as though searching for something. "She must be found and found soon. Come." She said gesturing to Pelarden and Legolas, "You are the most capable, it would be best if you two alone sought her out."

Galadriel led them to her room. "Only one of you will find her. When you do I ask you to take her to the Houses of Healing and then come to me. Fair winds." She said in blessing.

Legolas and Pelarden left Galadriel, Pelarden concerned, Legolas annoyed. He did not want to be searching for Faith, wishing instead that he could be with his friends before the fellowship finally broke up to return to their respective homes. He mounted his horse as did Pelarden and they rode out of the city together. Once outside the city walls Pelarden went one way while Legolas took the other, cursing Faith's stupidity at riding off alone.

Faith awoke with the sun beating down on her head. Every muscle in her body was aching and she wasn't too sure if she hadn't broken something either. She tried to move. "Fuck!" She shouted as the pain returned with a vengeance. She gave up trying, closing her eyes to the relentless sun. "What a way to go. Stuck out in the middle of nowhere, lying on the ground, thrown from a horse. Where's a vampire when you need one to kill you?" She moaned as the pain began to overtake her again. "Ok losing consciousness now..."

Legolas was still cursing when he found her. He recognised her from a distance and called, "Why do you sit around Lady Faith? Too proud to get up when a prince approaches?"

It was only when he dismounted that he noticed how badly injured she was. As he knelt down to see to her wounds he heard her voice very faintly saying,

"Screw you Elf boy."

He looked up into her face relieved that she was alive, but then his relief was replaced by anger. "Next time you ride alone make sure you are capable of doing so!" He said as he began picking her up, trying to put her onto his horse. As he did so he noticed that she had fainted. Muttering yet another oath he mounted up behind her and began the long ride back to Minas Tirith.

"What possessed you to ride out this far anyway?" Legolas asked Faith when she finally regained consciousness.

"I was bored."

"You could not have remained in the city and done something?"

"Pelarden was around." Faith answered.

Legolas chuckled.

"What? Why are you laughing?"

Legolas remained quiet, stifling his laughter.

"What? Is it so unbelievable to you that someone actually likes me?"

"I did not say so." He said trying to keep the laughter out of his voice.

"Contrary to what you may think Elf boy, it's not completely ridiculous." She said swinging around to face him, her actions surprising him. "Is it so hard to believe?"

Legolas looked into Faith's eyes before replying. "No." He murmured quietly, then leaned in to kiss her.
