"I fear for him."
Gimli's words were but a whisper in the dark as he suddenly appeared next to Aragorn. Gesturing
towards the sleeping elf, the dwarf continued.
"I fear he will seek death in this war."
Aragorn looked up and his eyes met the dwarf's. Deep concern shone in them, a concern that Aragorn
felt himself day by day. He had watched the elf since the golden woods and even more closely since
they had med Saruman. He knew what Gimli had not understood yet. Legolas spirit was drained and
only his honour prevented him for giving into his grief. If it weren't for their quest, Legolas would
have left middle-earth on the day his last hope had died.
Elves could only die if slain in battle or if their heart was broken and Aragorn knew that Legolas heart
had been broken beyond repair.
The Prince of Mirkwood was dying.
"He will not abandon our quest, Gimli, as long as we fight he will stay at our side."
The dwarf understood what the man did not say. As soon as their quest was over, Legolas would let his
grief overcome him and leave.
"He cannot give himself up! How can we help?"
Without realizing Gimli had spoken out loud and Legolas had heard his last words. The despair in the
dwarfs voice pierced the elf's heart. He had never wanted to cause this pain to the ones he cared for.
'What have I done to see such pain?' His silent question to the stars did go unanswered.
Finally he walked over to the two silent figures that were sitting in the dark. Gently he sat next to them,
staring into the darkness for a moment before he began to speak.
"Do not fear for me, please! I will go freely to Mandos hall for I will not find any rest and peace on this
earth anymore. I never understood those that do not find solace in the beautiful woods and places here,
until now."
The prince closed his eyes before he continued to explain what he had only understood now.
"When she died for me, I could not let my grief break my heart else her sacrifice would have been
senseless. Yet now my heart is broken and my sorrow is unbearable for me."
Before he could stop himself Gimli spoke out, his voice harsh with suppressed emotions.
"You crazy elf! We don't even know, if Saruman spoke the truth! How can you believe this deceiver
and liar? Listen to your heart and what it tells you before you give up all hope!"
Legolas was more than surprised by this sudden outburst and for a moment he felt hope awakening in
his heart. Yet before he could hold that tiny straw of life darkness surrounded him again and he heard
the foul voice of the wizard in his head. 'your love's grave'
He looked down not wanting his friends to see his tears and finally got up, walking into the forest
looking for solitude.
"Please don't pain yourself with my burden, I could not stand that."
Not far from the camp Legolas sat down thinking of her and their too short time together. Since that
fateful day at Isengard he had built a wall around his heart to prevent it from breaking too quickly too
soon. To big was his fear of breaking down, to close the chance of his heart breaking fatally than he
would have dared to mourn But something Gimli had said had penetrated his shield and violent sobs
began to shake his body as he began to cry for the love he had lost. His body was exhausted for he had
not been able to sleep the image of the snowy mountains always present in his mind, the cruel words of
Saruman echoing in his ears. He was weary and knew not how to go on.
Gimli's words came back into his mind. 'Listen to your heart and what it tells you before you give up
all hope!' Yet his heart was cold and coldness was all he could feel. He shivered in the night and
looked up to the stars to find some peace from their beauty.
'Why is it, that when I am with you I feel like I have found a piece of heaven that I can keep?' Her
voice echoed ghostly through the forest, a soft wind caressing his face as if her hands would lead it.
'Soon Serena, this war will be over soon and I will meet you in Mandos hall.'
He closed his eyes and felt one single tear sliding down his cheek.
Yes, it would be over soon for he could not bear this pain for much longer.
