~Legolas~
About 18 months later.
This day I had to return to Mirkwood. My father and Solem had come a week ago to take me with them. Sirius
had had a lot to do with his daughter and so he couldn't come with them.Noria was a dear child but she could be
a little tiring at times.
At least I wouldn't be bored when I was back.
But I would miss Glorfindel terribly.
He was so sweet. All the time he tried to cheer me up and always succeeded in making me smile or even laugh.
But when I woke up this morning and looked at his sleeping face I felt tears in my eyes. I knew that we wouldn't
see each other for months and it would be very hard for me to live without him.
I didn't wake him. Unmoving I sat there, watched him and wanted this moment to last forever.
Suddenly his eyes cleared and I knew that he had woken up.
Immediatly I saw the worry in his fair face. "Why are you crying?" He asked softly and took me in his arms.
"In a few hours we will leave." I said simply and clung to him as if the time would stand still if I only held him tight.
"Shhh, my heart. Calm down." But I heared the sadness in his voice. "I will miss you, too. But everything will be
fine."
I didn't know why I said the next words, maybe it was desperation. Now I spoke out my worst fear. "What if you
find someone else?"
He tensed immediatly and looked deep into my eyes. "Don't say such a thing, Legolas. Don't even think that! I'll
never find somebody like you. You cannot even imagine how much I love you and this love will never die. Don't
you trust me?"
I didn't avoid his gaze as I answered. "Of course I trust you. Please don't doubt that. I'm sorry."
Glorfindel nodded. "You don't have to be sorry, dearest."
Then he kissed me gently and once again I could forget whatever worried me.
As we parted he stood up and smiled at me. "Come on, Legolas. I will visit you soon." Again he leaned forward
and kissed me. "I promise."
Unwilling I finally got up and followed him.
The others all sat on the table already.
Solem smiled at me. "Are you ready, little one?" I hated it when he called me that.
Our father smiled teasingly. "I don't think you are the one to say that, Solem. Legolas has Glorfindel, Sirius has
Siria and what about you?"
"Sirius doesn't count, adar. He's much older than me."
"And what about me?" I asked grinning.
"I only wait until the right one ..."
"Forces you to marry her." I teased and laughed.
Solem didn't say anything and tried not to join into the laughter.
After the breakfast I looked at my father. "When will we leave?"
"In two hours."
I sighed and nodded.
Suddenly I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. "I know you will miss him. May I make a suggestion?"
I nodded and waited for him to continue.
"You will enjoy the next two hours with Glorfindel and I will ask Elrond if he can visit us in six months and stay for
the rest of the year."
"You mean Glorfindel will stay for nearly a year in Mirkwood?"
It was September and in six months it would be February.
Ten months!
"If Elrond agrees."
I embraced him. "Thank you, ada."
He smiled at me. "Now go. He's waiting for you."
My father was right. The blond Elven lord stood patiently on the door.
The next few hours flew by like minutes.
But in this short time I realized that it was very hard for Glorfindel, too.
We didn't do much.
Most of the time we just sat near the horses and held each other. We didn't say a word but enjoyed the silence
and peace around us.
Then my father, Solem and Lord Elrond came and took the horses.
I sighed and parted from my lover to take my horse.
As I mounted Glorfindel stood next to me.
Elrond smiled at us. "Don't be too sad, you two. You will see each other in six months again."
"You mean he can come to Mirkwood and stay there for some time?" I asked hopefully.
The Elven lord nodded. "Yes."
"Thank you."
I leaned down and kissed Glorfindel one last time.
Then we rode away.
The End
"Ada" is the Elvish word for "daddy".
