Legolas stood up and looked around quickly asking his elfin instincts
what to do. He looked out the cave entrance he could not see a thing. He
started to heat up with worry as his bright eyes flashed around the caves.
He was about to wake Arwen and Aragorn when he heard something. His ears
pricked as he listened more intently for any sound or movement. He heard
sound. The most beautiful sound he had ever heard, it was a voice no doubt,
singing an incredible song. Legolas crept out. He had to find out who owned
the beautiful voice.
Once he had crawled on all fours out of the cave, Legolas looked up at the blazing sun, today's weather looked much more promising. Now he could see a stream with water that sparkled so intently Legolas had to look away so it did not burn his eyes. His eyes roamed around the landscape searching for any signs of the voice that he had hear just a while ago.
"Easily fooled I see."
Legolas turned around sharply, fitting his arrow in his bow as he went. The voice sounded like the one that sung, it was deep yet feminine and very alluring. Behind him was a woman, the most stunning person he had ever seen, she was shrouded in a white, pure light. He took in her features black eyes, pale skin and ravishing blue hair that fell down to her hips. At this point he realised whom it was he was looking at. No doubt about it the girl standing in front of him wearing a white sheet that had been twisted around her body that almost melted in with her skin was the girl that had been weak and powerless the night before. Legolas looked speechlessly at the piece of beauty that stood before him.
"Do you still wish to pierce my heart with your arrow."She asked smiling at him. "Legolas?"
"How do you know my name?" Asked Legolas trying not to let his vulnerability become any kind of a factor in their almost one sided conversation. Legolas felt almost weak just looking at her; her body seemed to radiate a magical power. "And under these terms, what is your name? How shall I call you?"
"My name," She began, her black eyes staring straight into his, "Is Isis." She looked away for a moment into the woods, which no longer posed a threat to her or Legolas and said. "And I do not know why I know your name."
Legolas thought for a moment, her voice reminded him very much of Arwen's. "Was it you who sang, this morning. Isis?" He asked not quite sure what to say to her.
"Indeed." She said smiling almost laughing. "Though I do not sing with my lips, I sing with my heart." She turned round and walked towards the stream.
"This Legolas," Isis said stroking her hands through the waters of the stream. Legolas noticed how long and thin her fingers were, petit. "Is merely a stream." Legolas looked at Isis not knowing how to react to this. "But someday, it will grow into a river, than a lake, than the sea." She drew images in the air. Simple images of a stream, a river and the sea. "Everything grows, and as it does they become wiser and stronger than before." She swiped her hand through her drawings. "As does Sauron."
"Why do you tell me this?" Legolas asked sitting down next to her on a grey smooth rock.
"Because, you did not know." She whispered as her voice became silent and still. The forest seemed like a dream, it was all silent and light shone through like it was air. The forest began breathing with Isis, taking rhythmic breaths of air together. "The forest does not breath with me." She said letting her voice flow with the breathing noises. "I breath with the forest. Nature is stronger than any force, anything Sauron has, the forest will defeat. Good will prevail over evil. and I am neither. I have a choice for I can change the course of history for whichever path I choose. I could side with Sauron, or I could side with you." She stood up and walked away.
Legolas followed. Behind her, puzzled at her mixed up words of wisdom and knowledge yet complete confusion. "What will you do know?"
She stopped in her tracks. Turning around slowly but veiling her face from view. "I do not know." Her voice was wobbly and high pitched, almost instantly Legolas knew that she was crying. Not sure what to do he walked forward to embrace her. He held her close to him as she sobbed into his shoulder. Her hair reminded him of the sweet smell of a rose. "I am so lost in this world, and alone. I do not know what to do or where to go." She uttered in between her silver tears that fell from her eyes.
Legolas did not know where his next words came from, all he knew was that they came from somewhere near his heart: "Your not alone, you have me."
