::appears in a cloud of silvery fog:: Hey look two chapters in one day! I
feel special. Ok no long speeches this time. Once again I wish to apologize
for my shouting in the last chapter. See first chapter for disclaimer on
characters. NOT MY SONG!! Elvish is in `'. dark-Elvish is in ~~.
Legolas glanced around him in wonder as he was lead through the hallways of Lothlorien. He and his father had just arrived in the most beautiful place he had ever been. They stopped at the base of a grand marble staircase.
He watched in amazement as to tall elves walked down the staircase. The Lady Galadriel was absolutely gorgeous in person.
~~~~~~~
Lovers in the long grass
Look above them
Only they can see
Where the clouds are going
Only to discover
Dust and sunlight
Ever make the sky so blue
~~~~~
The lord and Lady of Lothlorien stopped at the base of the stairs and smiled. The lady Galadriel looked up at the top of the stairs and narrowed her eyes slightly. A small form stepped out of the shadows.
~~~~~~~
Afternoon is hazy
River flowing
All around the sounds
Moving closer to them
Telling them the story
Told by Flora
Dreams they never knew
~~~~~~~
It was the girl! She was real! And she was beautiful. She wore a long black silk dress. Her hair was short and brilliant silver and the long bangs were midnight black in color. Her eyes though, were empty and dead. She glided down the stairs silently and stopped next to Galadriel. The Lady smiled at the small girl before turning and looking at Thranduil.
'Welcome to Lothlorien' Lord Celeborn said.
Thranduil smiled and bowed slightly.
'Thank you Lord Celeborn.' He said
He turned and looked at Galadriel. He smiled warmly.
'My lady.' He said 'Every day you grow more and more beautiful.'
Galadriel nodded and gazed at him with piercing eyes. The small girl who stood next to the lady had a blank look on her face as she stared off into the distance. She seemed out of place in her black dress.
~~~~~~
Silver willows
Tears from Persia
Those who come
From a far-off island
Winter Chanterelle lies
Under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue
~~~~~~
King Thranduil looked to see his youngest son looking at the girl in wonder. He nudged his son gently. Legolas snapped out of his trance and looked up at his father. He remembered what he was supposed to do.
Legolas bowed gracefully to the lord and lady. His pale hair fell about his shoulders.
'Greetings my Lord and Lady.' He said
Galadriel smiled and nodded to the boy before looking at Thranduil.
'And who might this charming young one be?' she asked
'This is Legolas.' Thranduil said with pride.
'Well, I knew he would be handsome but I didn't think he would be beautiful as well.'
Legolas blushed bright scarlet. This drew the small girl's attention. Their eyes met and held. He nearly screamed at the pain and torment that were reflected in those dead eyes.
~~~~~~~
Some they know as passion
Some as freedom
Some they know as love
And the way it leaves them
Summer snowflake
For a season
When the sky above is blue
When the sky above is blue
~~~~~~~
Celeborn noticed the two children staring at each other as did Thranduil and Galadriel. The Lady placed a soft hand on the girl's shoulder.
'Say hello Alustriel' Galadriel said.
The girl stepped forward. She closed her eyes lifted the front of her skirt a few centimeters from the ground and gave the traditional dark-Elven bow with a flourish. The bow seemed to be directed at Legolas.
' Salutations your highness' The small girl said gently ' I am Princess Alustriel Silver Wing of Threadbare.'
~~~~~~~
Lying in the long grass
Close beside her
Giving her the name
Of the one the moon loves
This will be the day she
Will remember
When she knew his heart
Was
Loving in the long grass
Close beside her
Whispering of love
And the way it leaves them
~~~~~~
Legolas stepped foreword and bowed to her. He took her hand and placed a gentle kiss onto the back of it. He looked up and saw a bored look on her face. She must be as bored as he was.
'Well, as much as I wish not to. I must leave.' Thranduil said.
Legolas' eyes flew to his father. It was true then. He would be alone.
Alustriel turned her cold eyes to Thranduil and narrowed them as the king suppressed a shiver.
Thranduil bowed once more and bid them farewell. He left in silence.
~~~~~
Lying in the long grass
In the sunlight
They believe it's true love
And from all around them
Flora's secret
Telling them of love and the way it breathes
~~~~~
Galadriel glanced down at the children then turned to her husband.
'Come' she whispered into Celeborn's ear. ' I believe that they will be fine alone. At least for a few hours.'
Celeborn nodded and laid a hand on Alustriel's shoulder. The girl looked up at him. She nodded in answer to the unspoken question written in her father's eyes. The Lord and Lady turned and glided up the staircase hand in hand.
Alustriel turned and glided across the floor towards a balcony without even sending a glance in Legolas' direction.
'W-wait!' Legolas called.
Alustriel motioned with her hands for him to follow her. The young prince chased after the girl. Alustriel leaned against the wall of the balcony and stared blankly off into the distance. She could see Myune and the rest of his gang goofing off and acting like the idiots that they were.
Legolas looked out over the low wall as well. His heart leapt when his saw the boys that were fooling around down below. Maybe he wouldn't be stuck with girls after all.
'Who are they?' he asked
'Stay away from them.' Alustriel said. ' they may beat you up as well.'
Legolas' eyes widened.
'Those are the kids that chased you aren't they.' He said
' Yes.' Alustriel said. 'How did you know that?'
'I saw it.' Came the response.
She looked at him for a second before a small, weak smile formed on her face. A tiny smile formed on Legolas' face as well.
With that they turned and walked away together. Each had the same thought running through their mind.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
~~~~~~~~
And
Looking up from eyes of
Amaranthine
They can see the sky
Is blue
Knowing that their love
Is true
Dreams they never knew
And the sky above is blue.
~~~~~~~~
Well there it is. The next chapter. And please review I wish to know if this chapter is any good.
