http://moonbox.topcities.com/ev/splash1.htm

Yes in this one, Legolas and Serenity do get to see each other! but only briefly how? I won't say everything! :D

Why this cliched title of 'Blessing of a star'? because both SM and LotR, Stars play a role in representing a light, hope and of good great power.So in both the Stars are an important metaphor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Helm's Deep~

Ithilele~

Ithilele sighed deeply, she hadn't been a senshi for years beyond count. She has been living for almost 5000 years when she died on the moon.She was dressed in elvish fashion, for she did not want to shock the conservative males in the Helm's deep. Ithilele thought wryly, though Ithilenor wore her senshi uniform with pride, Silver and White, it gleamed like ray of moonlight inthe gloomy weather.

She prayed dearly for Serenity's safety and sighed and went towards Celebril whow as talking with the Sindarin elf Legolas about bows and arrows.

Legolas~

I saw lady Ithilele coming towards us, I quickly bowed to her. She smiled and accepted a perculier set of arrows and bow from Celebril.

It was made of smooth white silvery wood, the bow gleamed beautifully like a shy ray of moonlight. Arrows were fewer then most fully packed ones but it was tipped with nothing, it was blunt end! I was amazed.


"Lady Ithilele! the arrows are blunt ended! how can one befall an enemy with a blunt ended arrows?" Legolas asked, curious.

"Elf Legolas, there are things wonderous that you have yet to witness" Ithilele was mysterious as always in her answers. and motioned one of the Vanyan elves to come.

A young looking elf came to them, running at slow pace with graceful movements.

"Lady Ithilele? did you ask me to come?" the elf asked carefully.

Serenity nodded "You have met Elf Legolas, Menel?" Serenity pointed to Legolas who was ready strung up with his weapons.Who inturn smiled.

"Ah! yes I have briefly, Lady Ithilele but did not have much time yet, perhaps we should get aquinted with each other here now" Menel smiled and held out his hand to Legolas who took th hand immediatly.

"Legolas of Mirkwood, once known as 'Greenwood the great' son of Lord Thranduil" Legolas said as the manners dictated.

"Menel Galad of Vanyar, from gardens of Lorien as main residence in the west lands."

Both smiled, not knowing what lay in their hearts.


Both turned at he battle cry of the gathering black messes before the Helm's Deep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Serenity felt uncomfortable and kept turning her ehad towards the west, as the massive amount of active negative energy seems to be massed there.


It was dusk and they camped in a little cavern and Sam was preparing their dinner in silence but still humming a merry tune to lighten the mood. It seemed so still, but Serenity's senses told her that something will happen and she might be needed. But yet she is so far away! Serenity held up her hand and looked at the ring Lord Thranduil given to her.It was still gleaming brightly in the fire light.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ithilele~
Ithilele readied her bow, looking grim, but with her eyes closed for brief moment and kept saying something in unknown language, silently. Like if praying for the stars to bless them for another victory and bring down Saruman.


Legolas~

Legolas concentrated hard as he stared at he black mess before him.It was darker then mines of Moria.



"Fire!" Aragorn shouted the start of the battle. Arrows flew but most looked at the Children of Light, their arrows immediatly flared with light at the tip as they released the strings.

If one could hear them, they were chanting in an unknown language,

[Japanese :P I won't since couldn't be bothered to run up at get my dictionairy!)

' Ginzuishou! bring us the power within the light!
Bring us the light, bring us hope,
We fight to bring justice and peace!
We are the eternal soldiers of the Light!'


When an arrow from Children of Light hit , immediatly a small area was cleared, only piles of ashes were left of the enemy. All of the Children of light faught as the orcs and other dark creatures started to climb the wall with their strange looking weapons.Most spectecular one was a a spear like weapon Ithilele wielded, it was a long single blade, slightly curved but each time she wielded it, an orc will be sliced topieces in an eye blink or a glittering purple light will lash out , bringing deaths to several orcs at same time.They almsot crield out when they brought out siege towers and caterpaults.

Aragorn shouted "They are going to siege Helm's Deep again! everyone rank out! guard every place possible! NOW!" Everyone scrambled to their positions. Legolas and Aragorn adn Gimli was at the front with Ithilele and Ithilnor.

"Ithilele! Ithilele! we can't keep this up! too many of us will be dead! we need to gather the magick left in us and make a shield!now!" Ithilnor yelled out to her as they kept sending out magickal arrows and sometime using eleboratly decorated swords and other strange looking weapons.

"Alright! I will initiate it! stand ready!" Ithilele spread one of her arms and hand in front of her and she became bright as a star and a beam of light shot to Ithilnor then to other Children of Light, then a soft glowing bubble settled on the Helm's Deep, all their enemies were thrown off the wall and sent flying clearly off 50 feet from the wall.

Ithilele sat down hard, and so did everyone after making sure of this magickal protection will hold out.

Ithilelda and Ithilril came walking fast, their magick was exhausted as well. "Ithilele, Ithilnor, we need the Ginzuishou! there is too many of them for even our power to win through without heavy loss to our side! "

Ithilele stared at Ithilril, "But..." Ithilril interrupted her, "No buts about it Ithilele! we need it, if possible we may have enough power to pull Serenity through the magickal gate and bring her here, even if it's just for a brief moment till the battle ends! and No! she will not die if she wields it to full power, Eru won't allow it! so what are we waiting for! we need that Ginzuishou now!" Ithilril talked breathlessly and fast.

Ithilele grimaced but they had no choice, Ginzuishou was their only salvation now. "Alright, I will open the gate, you must help me in getting enough energy to open a gateway" Ithilril grinned "No problem, Ithilele!" Ithilril smiled tiredly but put her hand on top of Ithilele's and so did other Children of Light.

Ithilril started to chant and others followed,

Ithilril: " I ask for the power of Light,
Where Stars are born ...
Ithilelda: " Where the brightst and cherished of
Stars live within...."
Ithilnor: " May the hope rise and soar to the
endless heights...."
Ithilele: "May the power of light open the Gate of Light!
We are the Children of Light!"

A brilliant Square of light appeared, then it dimmed, a beautiful door carved with strange symbols and made of clear glass.It was engraved largely with crescent moon.

Ithilele stepped through the door carefully as it opened and saw to her relief and dismay that her daughter asleep tiredly from her long journeys.


Serenity~

Serenity woke tiredly as a bright light shone in her face. She blinekd several times before she realised her mother was there.

"Mother?" Serenity nodded to her daughter grimly.

"We need you and Ginzuishou here, Serenity, Hobbits shall be fine, place them in deep sleep and out of anyone's reach until the battle at Helm's Deep is over, you are only our salvation! hurry for we are using last of our powers to bring you across!"

Serenity did not question her mother, if she said she was needded, she knew they were desperate and hanigng on their last of hopes.She knew that too well. Living for almost 3000 years half full of galatical scale wars and almost daily battles, the price of a life is worth enough for her use her powers.

"I am coming, just for a minute to place them in deep sleep mother" Serenity nodded to her daughter as she placed a strong protection and sleep o the hobbits and stepped through the gate to a battle scene.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone looked at the gate again as two figures approached. One was Lady Ithilele and an elf?

"Lady Serenity!" all of fellowship shouted in unison from their shock of seeing her. Legolas was first to comment.

"Lady Serenity you are wearing, shades of the Mirkwood forest!" Legolas came up offering her his hand for a hand shake. Aragorn on closer inspection realised she was wearing elven clothing of Mirkwood.

"Lady Serenity, glad to see you alive" Aragorn said formally and smiled at her, whilst Gimli just waved cheerfully with a short comment "Good to see you Lady Serenity!" Serenity smiled and gave them a hand shake inturn.

"You are all wondering why I am wearing Mirkwood clothing? well Frodo, Sam and I got kinda lost without a map and landed up in Mirkwood forest, running fromthe orcs hunting for us...and I met Lord Thranduil and all" Serenity paused and looked out to the mess of black outside the wall."Well, I iguess it's another war...I must have lost the count of wars I have been in, died and reincarnated from...well, what are we waiting for my mother and others can't hold onto the wall forever!" Serenity then clapped her hand twice and a magnificent staff made of gold and precious jewels appeared in her hand, towering over her already tall height.

"I am ready, are you feeling better mother?" Serenity quietly spoke to mother.

Ithilele smiled "Yes, sure, with Ginzuishou here, it has renewed our energy and magick, I have faith in you my daughter."

"But I have failed to save the Earth! how can I ...?"

"Serenity, you know very well about the fates and destiny...by now I am sure. That was the Destiny of the Earth I have left so long ago...It wasn't your fault. all the soldiers of the stars keep continuing to defend the place we all have defended once. For now, we have to worry about the darkness right before our eyes, not surround our self with sadness and regrets of the past"

Serenity solmenly nodded when her mother looked up to see an elf walking towards her.Her mother's face lit up.

"Ah, Serenity, meet Celebril, I suppose in a sense your new father, whom I met after coming to Valinor" Ithilele smiled as teh elf took her hand kissed in lightly.
"It's hearty to meet you Neo-Queen Serenity...I don't have much to say, even though your mother constantly talked about you...I also want you to meet Menel-Galad , my nephew, who has been waiting patiently to meet you" another elf came up, beautiful then most elves she has met with his glittering green eyes he seems very pleased yet shy, like a schoolboy admitting his love for someone.

He gently took her hand and gave it a feather light kiss, "I am honored to meet you Neo Queen Serenity...Lady Ithilele been showing me about you, just about everything...I think" He smiled easily as he saw Serenity turn to her mother with a questionable look.

"Mother? you didn't?..." Serenity was blushing red from both shyness and embrassement.

"Ah, here comes, Legolas" Her mother pointed out gently as if to escape her daughter's question.

Serenity turned and smiled as he walked up lightly and also gave her a light feather kiss to her hand. "It's been long time Lady Serenity..." He looekd at her with his beautiful, almost endless blue eyes of his, streaked with gentle concern.

Serenity smiled and nodded , "More then a month...I believe..or almost there...but it seems like a distant memory...but then time doesn't seems to matter when you live long"

Legolas smiled brighter, making Serenity's own heart almost lurch to a stop, it was the same smile he gave her at Lothlorien Forest, the angelical and beautiful smile.

"Darkness comes faster then ever, look they have almost finished reorganising themselves...I wish for your safety, perhaps after the battle we could talk more. just a little more, before your have to go back to the Frodo and Sam?" Legolas asked, almost pleadingly.

"Of course...I hope so, I wish you luck Legolas, may light bless you always" Serenity said the same greeting as if she was greeting her soldiers or senshi, like in the past.Serenity managed not to hug him, as if they were about to part.


Battle~


Serenity almost cringed at the battle cry from the dark creatures in front of the Helm's Deep. They were almsot reminded her of the dark force that destroyed the Earth. Serenity pushsed the dark memories to back of her mind, concentrating on the battle.She decidedto transform into her Cosmos to make herself to battle at her best.

Serenity swung her staff and slammed it intot he ground before her shouting "Blazing million golden heart! almost every soldier at the helm's deep covered their eyes, as they saw speckles of milllions of golden light appear then rush towards the front line of the Saruman's army. They were relieved as almsot the entie frontline was shredded to pieces.Orc's scremaing weren't heard as they started to fire arrows again as the parts of the army rushed, seeing their infantry soldiers almost gone. There was great river of blood flowing, from all the orcs that have died.

Serenity noticed something, then she cried out "Watch out! to the east of the wall! they are digging underneath! hurry!" Theoden immdeiatly gave repid orders to be ready and her mother ran tot he palce, placing a blazing patch of light to burn anything that might burst through. But some soldiers stood aorun the area incase, they somehow broke through.

Aragorn was busy fighting, wielding a sword, that seems to blaze of gold and silver light, orcs seems to fear it, and exception of some brave ones, they hardly challanged him, rather, it was Aragorn who charged and hacked through the enemy that was rapidly climbing the walls fast.His face was determined and grim but he knew what he had to do.


Legolas was shotting arrows faster then most, His movements smooth as wind ruffling silently through the forest. He was also fighting with his own swords, hacking left and right with precision and deadly target.

Gimli was swinging his axe with expertise that could have only come fromyears fo practice and use.

All Children of Light was fighting with magick, using their own attacks and also using normal weapons, when their magick seems to go low.But they soon recovered, thanks to the presence of Ginzuishou.Their main source of magick was nearby, giving them the strength they needed.

Serenity was starting to notice of the sudden increase of dark energy, she cans ee that the Human soldiers were tiring, Serenity thought grimly as she for once in a long time stretched out her wings and surveyed the the battle fromt he high int he sky, it was almost endless battle...just that human couldn't keep battling. Serenity took out a small pinpoint of light and Ginzuishou appeared.


All Children of Light looked up, seeing that Serneity was high up in the sky with Ginzuishou out! and ready to be wielded!

Ithilele was the first one to shout out, "No! Serenity! do not use it!do not! you can't do this to me, to everyone who cares about you!" Ithilele heart almost stopped when her daughter looked down and smiled sadly yet so calm, it was scary.

"It's alright, I shall be back if this could save the humans I shall use it...I failed Crystal Tokyo...I won't fail Middle Earth either!" Then she became so bright, the battle stopped, everything seems to go in slow motion, as the entire dark army was being burnt away by this brightst light ever seen.

It seems to be dead quiet for how long, nobody dareed to guess, when someone cried out rushing forward to the place where a figure was falling from the sky.


"Lady Serenity!" Legolas was crying out as he used his elven abilities for speed to full portential, to catch Serenity as she fell.


Legolas fell to his knees as he caught her, and laid a sweet kiss to her forehead. "Lady Serenity! please please, you can't have fallen yet, I haven't yet to make you happy! after all you have happened to you, you deserve some peace and happiness! please do not go yet..." Legolas bowed his head and took her hand, to his suprise, the Greenwood Ring was placed on one of the fingers.He finally noticed a figure behind him.

"She hasn't fallen yet, Elf Legolas, she needs rest, now, please bring her back in, the battle is over ...we will do our best to heal her...for she needs to go back to the hobbits soon as possible"

"Thank you Lady Ithilril" Legolas sighed and held her strong yet slender body to his close and came back following Lady Ithilril.
