========================
The company searched for her as best as they could though they did not divide for their strength shall diminish should the enemy waylay them. It had been two days since she had gone and though their supplies could not last longer, they did not give up hope of finding her. As they were becoming desperate, Laiwe sensed movement along the riverbank three leagues north off the forest road. He rushed toward it and found her under a mound of dead tree stumps. He called upon the others; and as they thought all was well, a wounded spider that was half-blind sprang in the midst of them as if he waylaid them on his own, which had little truth for his heart only desired what was hidden underneath the wood. They smote the fell creature with rage and hastiness. When all was undoubtedly well, they lifted the heavy weight off her and found her in her worst condition yet.
She was muddied all over and she had traces of blood and lacerations and abrasions in almost every part of her body. They hastened to the road and made her and Legolas ride the swiftest horse that they had to Rivendell.
========================
Elladan and Elrohir saw their arrival and quickly tended to her and asked Legolas what had happened. He could not say for he did not know. No other poison was found within her blood save the orc-arrow that grazed her and it was easily taken out for the amount was little and they had reached Imladris in time. Soon she was cleansed and they waited for her arousal for everyone was eager to know what had happened.
Kei had awoken in the night and screamed as she did not know where she was; fearing that the soft bed she had lain on and the blanket that covered her were the bindings of a spider. Upon realizing where she was, she stopped and cried; not caring about the elves that were about her. As soon as she settled down, she apologized and dried her tears.
"Lady, Kei," Elladan said "would you share your experience with us? We would like to know how you survive a place without knowledge in battle, as I was told. Yet we do not pressure you if you do not wish to tell us of your encounter."
Kei looked at their faces and saw that all were relieved. "I don't want to chance upon it again but I think my mind will feel better if I tell you what happened."
###Flashback###
Kei swam to shore as best as she could though her arm was deathly sore. She clambered upon a rock and took rest as heavy weariness fell upon her. She fought the urge to sleep knowing that if she did, a fearsome creature might launch an attack upon her. Yet she could not overcome it and the poison all at once; her vision blurred and as she cleared it again, a great spider was above her ready for his meal. With a desperate swing, she slightly cut its fang and it gave a shrill cry and she pushed herself into the river once again.
As she got to shore, she saw from behind that it was following her. She grunted and ran hacking away branches that were in her way, cutting her as well as all the cuts were uneven and sharp. She knew running was no use to a spider with less damage than she. She climbed on a short tree and when she was on top, the spider followed suit. She swung her sword at it as she jumped off; diminishing its eyes and receiving a gash with one of its legs. She sprawled on the ground and made for a hollow tree that was near enough.
She squeezed in and stayed inside it as the spider tried to reach for her with his limbs. It gained nothing but gashes from the elven sword. Kei, on the other hand received her end of pains as his limbs scraped her. It left her for a while and she dared not move from where she was. After a long while, the spider came back filled with hatred and wrath. It shook the tree violently bumping on it until it was uprooted at last. It rolled the tree seeking a stone to hit it against. But the path was down hill and it rolled uncontrollably to another tree less hardy than the one she was in. It fell along with her as with other dead stumps and as it reached the river, her hiding place broke into pieces and she was buried under a pile of wood with not much strength to get up and laid there unmoving praying it had no interest in a corpse which she guised to be.
The spider tried to lift the heavy mass yet it could not with all the damage it received from her. Filled with wrath, it crushed the pile of wood under him (luckily she was not directly under it). He retreated and waited for her to come out to get his revenge on her.
###End###
She was well on the brink of tears and knew that her experience could never be matched when she gets back.
"Do not fear, for now, you have come to a place of peace and no evil or fell creature shall enter Imladris." Elrohir said, "We shall then leave you and should you feel better, please come down to the field and see the last of Middle-earth before you depart."
Her heart was torn in two upon hearing the words of Elrohir .All of them left her chamber and noticed that the elven sword was still with her. She took it and caressed it knowing that it was the one that prolonged her life.
========================
Legolas stood outside her door unmoving and thoughtful. He did not know why his heart was in the abyss nor did he know why he wanted to cry out as Elrohir stated his final words to Kei. He needed to talk to someone who could understand yet there was no one who could.
He decided to walk on the field of the birch trees where no one was for it was long forgotten. He sat under one trying to think of other things but his thoughts kept drifting back to Kei. His reverie was disturbed by the sound of branches being swept away and he was immediately on full alert and aimed his arrow at the one who came near - Arwen. He shook his head and lowered his bow.
"You are the first to rediscover this place." Arwen greeted. "What had brought you here? Is there something that ails you causing you to wander?"
"There is nothing that ails me, My Lady." Legolas answered.
"You say there is nothing that ails you yet, your eyes tell me of a different verity." Legolas did not reply at this and Arwen continued. "This is where Elessar and I had first met. It is where my love for him had begun."
"How is it that you have recognized that feeling as love?" Legolas spoke once again.
"I would wish to be with no one other than him. How did such a question enter your mind?"
"The queer feeling that I have persists my consciousness. My soul wanders in the darkness with the light of hope dwindling into nothing. This I do not understand."
"Why do you not risk telling her how you feel?"
"Whom shall I tell about the feeling you speak of which I do not know?" Legolas asked looking upward toward the sun.
"If you do not know what it is even to this day, then it shall not be worth telling you." Arwen told him as she started to turn away. "Find out for yourself, Legolas. The answer is within your heart."
"Wait! Lady Arwen, I do not understand what you speak of." Legolas called out as he stood up but Arwen had gotten far and, still, he was confused.
Sowi, Legolas seemed so dumb in this chappy. Arrgh! Dratted Japanese love songs! Waaaahhh! I can't turn them off I love them.especially '4th Avenue Café', 'Kono Sekai no Katasumi de', 'Rarabai', 'Just Communication', 'Wakatte Ita Hazu', 'A House Cat', 'Silent Wind', 'Yakusoku wa Iranai', 'Mystic Eyes', 'Purachina', ect. Why do I have to love these songs?
