1 Chapter 2: Sweet Dreams
"Where is she Gandalf?" cried Legolas as he ran to the wizard coming up the steps of Mirkwood palace. It was late into the night; already the moon had reached its peak in the sky above. Soft lights glowed from within the palace, night birds could be head in the trees, in harmony with the rustling of the leave as the wind blew them softly.
"I left her to chose on her own. This is a tough decission for her. She needs time to think." Replied Gandalf. And he walked past Legolas
The Elf stopped for a moment before running up the steps to catch up with Galndalf.
"She needs time! I cannot wait Gandalf! I want her back! I swore I would find her and bring her back! And so help me I will!" shouted Legolas.
"She has another life now Legolas, we must allow her time to make up her mind, I'm sure she will come back." reassured Gandalf.
"Oh that I could see her once more, Ai! Aniron Aireromen!" sighed Legolas. (Ah! I desire Aireromen!) Legolas leaned up against a wall at the top of the stairs before the entry way into the palace. He stared up at the moon. "I can feel her Gandalf, I can still feel her. My love, my wife, I need her Gandalf." The Elf closed his eyes and breathed in deeply.
Gandalf came and stood beside him, patting him on the shoulder. "Yes Legolas, yes, I know, you feel as though you are missing a great piece of yourself. I know how much you love her, and I'm sure she does too. But we must be patient. She must choose the life she wants. We cannot force this upon her. Come lets us go inside and speak with your father, I'm sure he would like to hear the news too." Gandalf turned and entered inside the palace with Legolas following closely behind. Before he followed the old wizard through the door, he turned once more to face the moon. "Goodnight my sweet one" he whispered to himself. And then he turned and trotted off after Gandalf.
Aire lay asleep in her room; she tossed and turned as she dreamt.
(Aire's dream)
Aireromen stood in the forests of Mirkwood; she wore a sapphire blue sleeveless gown, covered with silver beads and leaves stitched in silver thread, and wore a silver Elven crown upon her head. She was bare footed. Her hair fell down her back in golden waves highlighted in silver by the moon. It was night, she was singing to the stars.
1.1 Look! A star rises out of the darkness
The song of the star enchants my heart
Ah! I desire…
"You sing beautifully Princess." Came a soft voice from the trees.
Aireromen knew the voice well; she smiled and turned to face Legolas who was now standing behind her. He smiled at her and came closer to her.
"Thank you, tell me is this just a pass time for you? Following me around at night?" she smirked and came to him and they embraced in a hug.
Legolas smiled down at her, "Well I am sorry Aireromen, but I fear your beauty simply attracts me to you. I cannot help it." He kissed her forehead. They stared for a long moment into each other's eyes. They knew the other inside and out. Aireromen kissed his hand. " I love you Legolas." He smiled again at her. "And I love you Aireromen." He bent his head down and they kissed lovingly on the lips.
"We had best be returning Aire." Whispered Legolas. He kissed her again on the lips and she then nodded and the walked slowly back to the palace.
Aire awoke with a start; she looked around her dark room.
'That dream, no, no it wasn't a dream. That was a memory. I remember that, I wish to return to him, I wish to see him again.' In her heart, she was still Aireromen, but in her head, she was not sure. She knew now about her past, but could she accept it? And should she? 'Shall I leave this world and go to Mirkwood and be with Legolas? Or should I stay and live the life that I was given? 'RETURN!' her heart called. ' RETURN TO YOUR LOVE!' but her head said ' No! I must think, I cannot leave. Not yet.' She sank back down onto her pillows. 'What shall I do' she thought. Why should I go back? This is the only Life I know, its not that easy to just pick up and leave it. She pushed the thoughts away from her head. She tried to go back to sleep. But she could not. Frustraighted she turned her head to the window next to her bed and looked out into the night.
"What should I choose?" she whispered. She stared out at the darkness for a few minutes before her eyes drooped again, and she slept.
"Where is she Gandalf?" cried Legolas as he ran to the wizard coming up the steps of Mirkwood palace. It was late into the night; already the moon had reached its peak in the sky above. Soft lights glowed from within the palace, night birds could be head in the trees, in harmony with the rustling of the leave as the wind blew them softly.
