Annundaeiel stopped running, looked around, and gasped.
"Legolas, this is amazing! How did you find this place?"
She looked around again, still amazed. There was a stream that was bubbling along happily, that picked up her spirits. Though there was no light, she could still see the smooth rocks on the bottom. Taking her shoes off, Annundaeiel slowly immersed her foot in the water. She shivered, the water was absolutely frigid. Legolas sat beside her, amused at her reaction.
"Do not linger in the water for long, it is run off from the mountains."
She looked up at the mountains, suddenly aware of their presence. They were still a few leagues away, but loomed over them still. The trees had thinned enough for her to look at the sky, but the full moon was still clouded over. Annundaeiel took her feet out of the water.
"I noticed but you still have not answer my question, how did you stumble upon this place?"
"Exactly as you just said, I found it while hunting."
Annundaeiel rolled her eyes; he was obviously not in the present.
"Legolas Greenleaf! Wake up! What is bothering you?"
He was silent for a moment then finally plucked up the courage to ask his question.
"Annundaeiel, why were you afraid to speak to me for so long?"
He knew it had not really been long at all, but to him, it had still seemed like an eternity.
Annundaeiel froze, whatever she had been expecting; this was defiantly not it. Why did he ask her the one question that she had no answer for? She had no idea, in reality. She looked down at the water flowing over the banks, it was summer, and the little stream would soon be flooded with winters melted snows. She finally got the nerve to look into Legolas' eyes, and what she saw there scared her more than anything he could have said.
"I...I do not know."
She quickly tried to get up, but was cut short by Legolas, who had grabbed her hand.
"Annundaeiel, please."
Again she tried to get up, this time Legolas stood up with her, but kept a firm grip on her hand. She stopped trying to get away; the pleading look in his eyes stopped her dead in her tracks.
"I am sorry Legolas, I really don't know."
"I believe you, however strange it may be."
"Oh"
That was all Annundaeiel could say. She wished that she could fill the endless silence that swallowed the glade, but couldn't find her voice.
"Annundaeiel, please look at me."
She winced, it was the one thing she couldn't do, but she had to. Slowly, she raised her eyes to meet his. He smiled, surprising her.
"Shall we dance?"
She grinned; this was the Legolas that she knew. As she curtseyed, he took her other hand.
"Surely milord, to what music?"
"IM sure that we can think of something."
"Don't we always?"
"Come to think of it, yes we do."
As he took her in his arms, Legolas' heart beat a bit faster. What was he doing? Not wishing to answer the question, even to himself, he sang the first song that came to his lips.
Summer love
Wild and free
May my love
Come to me
Annundaeiel was at first a bit surprised, though Legolas was a more than passable singer, he rarely actually sang. Soon though, she forgot about it, and put her head on Legolas' shoulder. Though still cloudy, the night was warm and moist. Although, she thought, at the rate that the wind was picking up, that would not last for long. The thoughts of weather drifted out of her mind as she listened to the song.
New love
Slow to be
May my love
Come to me
Legolas was now perfectly calm. He felt like he had been born knowing this song, instead of learning it recently. The wind tossed Annundaeiel's hair at him, tickling his face. He found that he did not mind in the least.
All love
Old as time
May my love
Be forever mine.
The clouds blew away, and the glade was suddenly and completely awash in pale moonlight.
Flash of light
Wind will blow
In that night
We both shall know
Annundaeiel's breath caught in her throat, as she realized several things at once.
"Oh my... Legolas..."
Legolas, grinning like an idiot, put a finger to her lips.
"Shhh Mien Laediel*"
Before she could say anything to that, he kissed her, and the world simply froze. Time had never had a meaning before, but she found herself knowing that time did have a meaning, as long a he held her. Her knees grew weak, would she still remember how to walk when he let go? She doubted it, then pushed it out of her mind as she wondered how they had ended up here, then promptly forgot the question, and instead of asking more, put her arms around Legolas' neck.
