That morning at breakfast she was between Aragorn and Telëorodin and people
were worried that she would love Telëorodin more than Aragorn now. Those
people were the only ones that didn't know they were brother and sister.
She was seen kissing and hugging them both and yet Aragorn must not have
known because he seemed content to let her sit near him.
"So what are you doing today Royce?"
"His name is not 'Royce' it is Telëorodin. Surly you know that Endhísëiel?" Legolas said with amazement. Elrond was just sitting there smiling.
"Endhísëiel?"
"It's my eleven name Royce, and yes I do know what his name is but he will just always be my Royce."
"And you my Kate"
"Why do you have nicknames for each other?" Legolas asked the thing that was on everyone's mind.
"We had them as kids, and Royce is his human name as Katriana is mine."
"So you were childhood lovers eh?" Asked another elf.
"Not even close," Telëorodin answered with a laugh.
"Well what were you?" The elf tried again.
"We were and still are brother and sister." There were a couple mouth drops as Elrond laughed and smiled.
"So that explains why-" Legolas started.
"She kissed me?" Telëorodin finished.
"Any one want to go for a ride?" Endhísëiel asked.
"I'm warning you Telëorodin, she will beat you." Said Aragorn as he stood from the table.
"Then it will be old times." Telëorodin said as he joined them.
"Aragorn, do you love me?"
"And why would I not?"
"I'm not sure..."
"Of course I love you" He pulled her tighter and they watched the sun go down.
The summer went and so did the fall and the mild winter was soon upon Rivendell. Telëorodin did not stay as long as Endhísëiel wanted, but soon he would return, or so he said. She spent most of her tie now reading, and still arching some. She went riding whenever possible and was soon sharing a bed with Aragorn for 'warmth'.
Lueaha left also and soon after her Legolas. Katriana could tell that they were much in love and no one else questioned it. It was easy for anyone to tell that Lueaha and Legolas were 'together' and when the both left, one right after the other. Aragorn was leaving Endhísëiel quite often and other people could notice the tension for this problem. Elrond was aware of this conflict first. He could tell that Endhísëiel was very sad and he wondered why Aragorn would ever do something so horrible to Endhísëiel. He was sure that they loved each other. He also knew that when Aragorn left, he went to think, but why not invite her along? Or maybe he did, Elrond thought, but why wouldn't she accept her invitation? Now that Legolas and Lueaha were gone there were few new guests in Rivendell. He hoped that at least Legolas would return soon and perhaps Lueaha too although she didn't come often to Rivendell he had hoped that she would make it her new home. For now though he needed to go fine Aragorn and ask him what was the matter with him and Endhísëiel.
"Aragorn!" Elrond called.
"Hello Elrond." Aragorn spoke with little enthusiasm.
"What has been bothering you these past few weeks?" Elrond asked while sitting down beside Aragorn beneath a tree.
"It is Endhísëiel,"
"Funny how the thing that upsets her is about her."
"She is upset?"
"Are you blind Aragorn? Too absorbed in yourself?" Elrond asked with gentle anger.
"Yes, yes I must be." He put his head down. "It is not her fault nor mine but her fathers."
"About her comings from? You shan't say that near an elf my dear friend."
"It is not because she is Eleven, It is because she is immortal!"
"And how do you know that?" Elrond asked.
"Her mother was an elf!" Aragron Retorted.
"Was her father not human?"
"Yes he was"
"The she is only half-eleven,"
"And half-immortal"
"No, not such a thing exists. She might be immortal, and she might be mortal, but I am sure that she would give up any immortality she has for you. That is of course if you would stop worrying about this and be around her more. I has hoped that you wouldn't need me to identify this problem to you two."
There was silence between the two men for awhile. Aragron knew Elrond was right
"Thank you Elrond, for I not only ponder these things during the day but I wish to talk to someone about these things too. I am afraid that now Legolas is gone I have no one to speak with about these problems I have come upon."
"You shan't need Legolas any more my dear friend. You have someone new to fulfill your needs of talking. Have you ever thought of talking about this with her?"
"Yes. But what would she think if I was worried about her?"
"She would only tell you not to worry that she would give any immortality to you and that she loves you! Aragron you take her love like a lie and I believe that you should stop that altogether. Endhísëiel loves you more that anything and longs to be with you. If you do not satisfy this yearn for her, she will become more depressed than she is already." Elrond stood up and went back to his house, hoping things would be better now.
Legolas returned shortly, but no alone, and not with Lueaha. Her friend supposedly, Nildesy and Legolas's apparently very new good friend. He would not comment on where Lueaha had gone besides saying she found something to do and left. Nildesy had a blue roan horse equipped with a bow and quiver and a pike (A long stick with a large arrowhead on the end). Her eyes, Katriana thought were green, but have been blue once, she wears a green cloak just like Lueaha, but her broach on it is different. She has wavy dark chestnut, like the color of tree bark. Her skin is tanned showing that she must be in the sun a lot. In her belt line Katriana could see two daggers too. Nildesy had obviously captured Legolas's heart, one would never be without the other.
The time is spring and news of battles have come to Rivendell. Aragorn and Legolas have been asked to come help. Nildesy and Katriana had become good friends but Nildesy decided to stay, and Katriana to go. Nildesy kissed Aragorn and Katriana on the cheek for luck and Legolas a very romantic kiss for luck. Soon the three rode off into the morning. They were needed two days a ride away. Around noontime, the dismounted and walked for awhile to give their horses a break, the riders however were taking a lunch break. The day was windy and they were walking against the wind.
"Will you hold Arod for me?" Legolas asked Aragorn.
"Yes, where are you going?" Aragorn asked back while grabbing the reins.
"Just want to look around, I will be back soon." It was silent for a bit as the two continued walking. Katriana was eating an apple and her taking a bite was one of the few sounds. Katriana walked in front of Lightning, Tantaruma was her eleven name now.
"Why do you stand like that," Aragorn inquired. "In front of Lightning like that?"
"To protect her from the wind. She carries me all day facing the wind, I think that I should repay her for her sacrifices by making my own." A gust of wind stirred the trees. Katriana's eyes moved with the wind.
"You would make a good ranger." Aragorn commented.
"Is that a compliment?" She asked back, eating more of her apple.
He laughed. "Of course. You are with nature most of the time, you are mysterious, you are good with a sword and you are quick with the bow and horse. You watch things from the corners of your eyes and you are aware of everything around you. That is why you would be a good ranger."
"Well I am not." Katriana stated and fed the core of her apple to Lightning. Legolas returned, "There is a spot up ahead that seems a good place for the night, we should reach there by nightfall." And so they did.
It was late and Legolas and Aragorn were asleep. Katriana was on guard and brought Lightning with her for company. Her horse grazed as she silently sang.
ITthe moon shone cold,
And the mountains froze,
As we walked by the river.
The sun rose high,
And the mountains cried,
"What have we here?"
So we jumped in the boat,
And sailed down the river,
All day till night.
Then the moon rose,
Once again,
And then we fled once more. I
Then while Katriana was thinking of something new to sing a person came behind her. She jumped up and drew her sword.
"Who is there?" She asked in the darkness.
"Quiet your voice. I wish not to be seen by anyone besides you." Lueaha stepped into the light and showed her face. "Follow me." She spoke silently.
Katriana followed Lueaha for a moment before reaching a fire. Lueaha's horse was tied up grazing.
"I am glad to find you." Katriana stated sitting upon the ground by the fire. "I was getting cold, and lonely, and most of all I wished to talk to you."
"oh?" Lueaha asked while adding a log to the fire.
"I believe I am pregnant." Katriana said looking into Lueaha's blue eyes.
"Have you told Aragorn?" She asked while sitting beside her.
"No."
"You should, and I believe that we share our news."
"You are too?" Katriana asked choking on her words
"Do not sound so surprised! Yes, I believe I am also."
"Whom is the father? You are much to young."
"You age catches up with you my friend. The father, is Legolas if you must know, but you must not speak with him about me being here or knowing that I am bearing a child."
"My age is catching up with me? I am 3 years older than you and you always seem to be older than me. I will keep your promise and speak not of this meeting."
"You always seem more wise to me. Thank you for keeping this secret. I wish for no one to look for me. You may only tell Elrond if he ever plans to search."
"But, if Legolas is the father… Did you not know him and Nildesy are together?"
"I knew that they are together, and I knew that Nildesy liked him, I feel comfortable seeing them together."
"But what about your child?"
"Katriana?!" A voice recognized as Aragorn's interrupted their conversation.
"Worry you not of my child but your own, I suggest you go and tell him now, and remember speak not of this meeting."
"Be safe and alert my dear friend." And with that, Katriana turned back to her own camp.
"There you are" Responded Aragorn as Katriana entered his sight. He walked up and hugged her. "I was worried, where were you?"
"I thought I heard something."
"Oh?" He looked out into the distance. "Maybe I should go look with you,"
"NO! I mean no, I just heard a twig crack and I spotted a deer, I'm sure that's all it was." Katriana covered up her lie with a look from Aragorn, disbelieving, but he dismissed it.
"You can go sleep now, I will take over watch."
"First we need to talk."
"About?" He sat upon the ground and started stroking Lightning's neck that was now laying down, but still grazing.
"I believe that I am pregnant." She said sitting next to him. He turned to her not speaking for a moment. "That's wonderful." He stated plainly looking into her eyes. "I love you," He said. "I love you too" And then they kissed deeply.
"So what are you doing today Royce?"
"His name is not 'Royce' it is Telëorodin. Surly you know that Endhísëiel?" Legolas said with amazement. Elrond was just sitting there smiling.
"Endhísëiel?"
