Finally, Serena's back in middle-earth… But it will take a while until she can meet Leggy again….
Please review! I live for your comments!
------------------
The bright light faded slowly and Serena found that she could see again. Looking around she knew in
an instant where she was. The trees and the beautifully crafted buildings had been her silent
retreatement place. The one thing that had saved her from Saruman.
'No', Serena thought, 'not the one thing. The one that saved me from the wizard was Elrond.'
And as if her thoughts had summoned the Elf Lord to her, he appeared on the terrace and walked
towards her.
"Welcome back Serena"
His voice was as serene and melodious as she remembered it to be, yet there was a underlying sadness
that had not been there, when she had seen him the last time.
"You came back for the one you love, but I can not tell you whether you will ever see him again. The
darkness is coming closer and the shadows are growing more powerful every day."
At those words Serena paled. All the time she had been in her real world, she had never ever
considered the possibility that the fellowship would fail. Even after the loss of Gandalf, she had
believed in their cause, believed in the strenght of the one she loved.
"So they failed, Sauron gained the ring?"
Her words weren't really formed as a question, they were a mere statement.
Elrond looked at the woman standing in front of him. Her eyes were dark and she seemed to brace
herself for his answer. Gently he took her hand and led her towards his rooms wishing to speak to her
in privacy.
"They did not fail completely, yet in an attack the fellowship was broken and Sauron will soon launch
his attack on middle-earth." Elrond began to explain what had happened since Serena had 'died'.
"Aragorn has called for the Dunédain to help him defend the white city against Sauron's army. So they
will fight, yet their victory is everything but sure."
'In an attack the fellowship was broken' Elronds words echoed in Serena's head, her vision blurred at
the thought of Legolas' body lying lifeless on the ground.
"Legolas?"
It was almost inaudible, but Elrond's elfish senses caught the word and he quickly reassured her.
"He is well and alive. Boromir was the one who died."
Boromir. Serena remembered the proud and strong warrior. She had rarely talked to him, yet she had
always felt comfortable around him. Boromir had been human in every sense of the word. Now he was
dead. One single tear found its way down her cheek as she silently mourned the loss of yet another
human.
"He won't be the only one, even if we win, the victory will come at the price of countless lifes."
Serena raised her head at those words, her eyes were determined and hard.
"What can I do to help?"
"Serena, there is nothing you can do now except sending your thoughts and your prayers out to the
ones that fight for our freedom."
Despite his despair, Elrond smiled when two dark haired elfs entered the room. They looked identical
and were dressed in bright armors,two beautiful figures ready for war. Elrond looked at them and got
up. In his mind he cried out against the thought of sending his sons into the war against Sauron, but he
knew it had to be like that.
Walking towards his children, he gestured Serena to follow him and introduced her to Elrohir and
Elladan.
"We have heard a lot of you, the woman from the other world that stole the heart of the prince of
Mirkwood."
Serena blushed at Elladan's words, but then smiled sadly as she answered.
"If I stole his heart, so he got mine in return for I hurt every second I am separated from him."
Then she looked at the twins outfit.
"You are riding into the war against Sauron, responding to Aragorn's call for help aren't you?"
When Elrohir nodded, Serena removed her ring from her finger and gave it the elf.
"If you meet Legolas, give this to him and tell him that I am waiting for him in Rivendell. Tell him that
I…"
Her voice broke and she trembled. Gathering her strenght again, she lifted her arms above her head and
removed her necklace. It was a simple band with a silver cross as a pendant. Once the cross had
belonged to Marco, who had given it to her on the day he died. Now she gave is to Elrohir, who looked
at her with confusion in his eyes.
"May this ensure that my prayers will be heard by my Lord. Come back safely and bring the light with
you."
