~ Entangled Destiny ~
Chapter 10 : Matter of the Heart
AN:No this isn't the final chapter, maybe 2 or 3 more to go. I need to attend to my other fics like Fruits Basket x SM cross over and new CSS alternate coupling fic too. And start on a Nightworld Fanfic which I had planned for sometime! since I adore the series(books! people! books!).
No, there is no good bye but maybe some tensions between some elves, you can guess who they are! what will our beloved Teleri elf prince do, when he realize of a Vanyan elf rival?Lady Ithilril story telling? who are these Children of Light?(yes I have mentioned who they are several times before but one thing is clear, no they are not re incarnated court of Serenity. More will be explained about Evolution of Children of Light in our universe :D.) Serenity's heart is heavy, very heavy...:) poor Serenity!

Healing house of the Helm's Deep~
(I forgot if they had one so I am just sticking one in ^^)
A lone figure watched prone figure lying in a sturdy but very plain bed, with tender expression. His, light blond hair was hanging out slightly as he bent over and checked her health. She sounded calm, but at times,it seems she was in her nightmare. He gently took her hand squeezing gently, somehow hoping it will reassure her that someone was with her, and it was only in dreams that her nightmare lived.
"Elf Legolas" Another voice sounded behind the lone figure's back. Another elf have entered this time, slightly lighter blond but unlike the figure who was sitting, he had glittering and deep emerald green eyes and was wearing white and grey clothing.
"Is she having sign of waking up yet? Lady Serenity has been in this state for last 2 days...how will the hobbits get there? the time does not even stop for us, neither does the evil" said the new figure as he sat down.
"Menel, things are really weighing heavy in my heart, when we found her near Rivendell, she woke up screaming, I believe destruction of her home was too much, she nearly died saving this beloved land because she said she couldn't save her own people, she wanted to save the free people of middle earth at least...We should have let her enjoy the little peace have at Rivendell.." Legolas looked almost down cast at the thought.
" I also wanted to say something else, I noticed that she is wearing a ring of elven craftsman, you seem to recognise it, does it mean...?" Menel looked intot he blue eyes of the Teleri elf who seemed to be very affectionate towards the lady he has been waiting so long to meet. He did not wish for rivalry between this elf and himself, for it would definitely make Lady Serenity more sad.
" I guess a much, Menel, it's the Greenwood Ring, given to her by my father, when she visited my home forest by mistake.I can not fathom what my father really meant by it, if he wished me to tell her what it meant, it is not now" Legolas paused for a minute then spoke again "I hope she is awake soon. Lady Ithilril is very skilled in elven medicine indeed, may rival Lord Elrond", both turned around as two more entered, it was Lady Ithilele and Lady Ithilnor.
"You two are still worried about Serenity, she is fine, it's because what we are, and the gift Eru have placed in our bloodline, that each of us suffer yet, bring hope to the world" Ithilnor said quietly as she put her hand on Serenity's forehead.She suddenly nodded to her self then turned around to the other two figures sitting down nearby."Will you hear a story? the story of Children of Light? Serenity may will have to stay with us, Hobbits have moved on, it was hard to explain to them, what happened to Serenity...but now she can rest at least for now without worrying the hobbits, they shall be fine"
Ithilnor smiled then begun her story.
"It was long ago, before, the Eldar was created, first children was ever born, a female child, Eru called it Ithilril, for she gave off silvery light when she walked or moved and had the most beautiful voice so harmonious that it reminded Eru of the ways Anur use to be in harmony in their songs. He also created a counterpart , a brother for her called it Chaos. He was of darkness, so Eru vanished him to furthest place in this world. But later, he became a the major force, source of all darkness in another world, it was Ithilelda, who was sent to that world to protect the newely born world similar to this one. She found a similar world but shining in silver, since she loved the moon here in middle earth, she called it Ithil, or Moon as the language in that world called it... She was able to face off the Chaos's many minions he sent trying to suck out the magick and life all around the world, heaven that existed in that world, she became a soldier, a queen also. She died and came back to Valinor 6000 years later, after going to that world, I was the heir to an alliance called 'Silver Alliance' , it was peaceful, but still Chaos wouldn't quiet I had to think of a solution, something that will help to defend every planet, stars etc. I figured one way out and that was the to have a guardian system set up, each an immortal, and to be reborn...they were to be soldiers, just like me and Ithilelda born from the brightest stars, they were the Soldier of the Stars. it rewarded me, many places could be protected without me or my small army having to be everywhere Chaos attacked. I too died one day, but it was longer, 10,000 years gone by when I came Valinor, for I was born in that world. It was strange, for that world was so peaceful when not in war, but so magickal it was an enchanting world, more then the middle earth or Valinor." Ithilnor stopped then nodded to Ithilele who continued.
"Then it was my turn to become the leader of the Silver Alliance or rather it was called at my time Silver Millenium. the Guardian system changed it's name also, as I adept ed a language called 'Japanese' these Soldiers were called Sailor Senshi. It was peaceful, but one big obsession or rather a dangerous love that my dear Serenity fell into, it was of the honorable Prince of the Earth, Prince Endymion. He died in that life time defending Serenity, Serenity couldn't bare to live without him so she committed suicide...her senshis or her future court died with her. I remember screaming admist the battle but could do nothing, couldn't reach her in time...I felt I failed my people...they were all dying, the shining silver star or rather Ithil was dying, I used last of my power to the gift Eru given to my line, to seal away the enemy and make sure all of them, Serenity, Endymion and her court to be reborn...so they could defeat the enemy one day....then I died too. It wasn't 1000 years alter that my chief advisors awoke and started roaming the earth to find the princess and her guardians and court. My dear Serenity also became a soldier like me, before officially becoming a queen. She also had hard time, for she have died and lived so many times, for her love of the earth and her friends and her love. She has many stories to tell, as we watched her from from Valinor. She was to be the greatest one of us all, for she been through so many tragedies that are countless but her will power was so strong, that even Chaos couldn't touch it. Her court was the most dedicated and loyal to their death.Serenity been named Ithilrilel by Valar, I believe someday another leader will be born in that place we have left will lead the war for the peace that have achieved of the past gone by...I was 5000 years old when I came to Valinor..it's been sometime since I had to face trouble..." Ithilele trailed off and smiled at sleeping figure of her daughter.
"Lady Ithilele, how long will it be before Lady Serenity will wake up?" Legolas asked still holding Serenity's limp hand, looking worried from his heart.
"Not long maybe if possible tonight, but she won't able to speak for long. Maybe one of you can sing her a song, for she had innate love for nature and stories. all things mythical. If I remember right from her days on the moon." Ithilele smiled gently before waving her hand over Serenity's face letting a almost invisible dust of glittering silver light settle onto her face."Well Menel, please come with me, and Legolas will be on the duty for the day, if he wishes, then you will change so he may get some rest." Both Children of Light exited the room quietly, leaving only two elves again.
"Well Legolas, I trust you will take good care of Lady Serenity, ah, and sing her a song, I shall be here when you are to retire, please do call me, do not hesitate...thank you for being so kind to Lady Serenity, for I know Lady Ithilele loves her daughter very much". Menel silently smiled and before he exited the healing room, he looked at Lady Serenity once more with a look of longing then finally exited the room.
Legolas wasn't sure how long it has been, when Serenity woke up slightly dizzy from her pains.
"Lady Serenity? how are you feeling?" Legolas carefully asked, afraid to give her any slight shock. He looked at her, with her elegant but still slight hand in his.
"I am fine...Legolas? where are we? we aren't dead?" Serenity asked slowly, as if waking up from a long deep sleep, that have lasted one hundred years. First she did not notice her hand in his, but rather trying to get up but her weak strength failed her.She managed to prop her self up with help from Legolas against the bed head.
"No , Lady Serenity, your light washed away all the evil that was present, I felt it die away, saving many lives. Ah! the light was so beautiful, even though it was so bright, I had to turn away, I could still feel feel that beautiful feeling of hope and love wash over me. I am sure, everyone, even the men felt it too...such a beautiful light, can only come from someone so beautiful in their heart" Legolas smiled as he looked up at her, to his suprise who was blushing slightly red.
"Thank you Legolas, if I remember correctly, you have requested for me...wait, how long has it been? since I fainted?I got to return tot he Hobbits!" Serenity tried to get up but failed again. Legolas immediatly stopped her.
"Please, Lady Serenity, they have moved on, for the time will not wait, your mother Lady Ithilele assured them that you are fine and gave them her blessing for protection against evil. They shall be fine." Legolas start to look worried, then smiled easily again "Would you like to hear a song? Lady Serenity?" Legolas began after Serenity silently nodded.
" In the fair land of Ithil,
A long land lost,
No one have, not even the Elda,
have laid the eyes to this
magickal kingdom of a distant memory,
A lady who will sing to the stars,
her voice sweeter then the sweetest notes
of a melody.Her touch would bring happiness,
Her eyes of brightest blue will
make the stars smile, Her sweet hair of silver,
radiate with silvery light that will
make one wonder of the great silver
lamp that hung in the sky,
was fused in to her.
She was fairest of all,
She was hope of all,
When the first Elda woke in the far east,
They were enchanted by this beautiful
lady who were like glimpse of true beauty
in the wind,
Oh, fair land of Ithil, where shall you
be reborn?
When the hope of all have come again,
shall you return?
Shall we return to the Birth Place of the
Elda? when will we lay our eyes
on this fair kingdom?
I still dream of the fair lady of silver,
Hearing her sweet voice in the he winds of the
forests not tainted by evil.
Ah! the Lady of the fair land of Ithil!"
Serenity smiled, it was beautiful.
"That was beautiful Legolas, thanks for making me happy" Legolas just smiled with an expression that seems to be uplifting, like an image of an angel, Serenity noted with interest.
"If it made you happy, Lady Serenity I am glad, with my whole heart. The ring you wear, I have noticed...you are wearing the Greenwood Ring" Legolas pointed out gently. Taking her hand and brushed his soft lips to her fingers, especially the ring.
Serenity was blushing red, then finally found her words to answer "Yes, Lord Thranduil gave it to me, but he did not explain what meaning it carries? perhaps you could?" Serenity trailed off, her curiosity was alive again, with this beautiful but mysterious ring.
"Ah...the Greenwood Ring takes it's name from the name of my fair home before the dark forces occupied the southern part of the forest, it was called 'Greenwood the Great'. I remember still, all it's beauty in this largest forest ruled by an elven lord or lady"Legolas paused then went on "That ring was usually worn by the Lady of the forest...but also for protection against the dark forces" Legolas gave her an ambiguous answer, much to her her diappointment.
"Lady Serenity I have something I wish for you to know, before anything else could happen..." He swiftly closed the small distance between them and held her finely boned face close to his." I have a feeling I must confess, for I believe I have found the soulmate I been looking for...In you I found feelings that wasn't awakened by even the fairest of elven maidens I have known in my life...I can no longer bear to ponder this question myself..for I have given my heart to you Lady Serenity..." with a catious approach, he laid his lips on her soft lips, and both knew they found something they been looking for all their life, finally, for the last time and finally. Legolas smiled and let her head rest against his chest as she breathed fast trying to catch up, after their kiss which turned pasionate. It was a feeling they both longed for but never found it truly until that moment. The air betwen them seemed warm and safe, no darkness could appraoch them, it was haven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry for short chapter, but I needed an interlude of some sort O_o;; and had to have that confesison out! *ahh...I will have draw that out!* Yes if I have any time I will be drawing some selected scenes from the story ^^;;.
Urkkk I know,I know, I am not use to having to write out passionate scenes or even romantic confession...lol~ wait...I should have made it more dramatic? yes no? anyways! now they will be together! till end of the story!since I never liked what happened to the story of Arwen and Aragorn, I would like to make it more happier for both of them in the end too ^^;;....I won't spoil what happens after Aragorn dies O_O;; because that's the sad part..without him, she lost delight in life and all in other words, she loved Aragorn too much in my opinion, but still an undying love till the end, at least she gets to she what gift Eru have given the Men after their death, unlike most of other elves! who will be mostly stuck being alive forever! if they don't get killed.
But could this happiness of Legolas and Sernity last long and finally be forever be happy again? what's this kingdom called Ithil O_O;;?all comes next chapter!
