Yawn! Tired. . . anyway, I slept at 3 last night because of my father's
birthday and I wasn't really able to write well so if this sucks, tell me.
Believe me, writing half-asleep is not an easy task.

Kei braced herself presuming that something catastrophic will follow, but none came. Her tight clutch on Legolas loosened as he sang a song in her ear. It was indeed soothing and assuring to her. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a forest clearing.
"Welcome back to Mirkwood." Legolas whispered in her ear as he recognized his own home.
Kei smiled enthusiastically and embraced Legolas as if there was no tomorrow. But before anything was to be said, the bird that carried Legolas to the Mirror, flew back in silence and landed gracefully beside them, spreading his great wings in their splendor. He bowed before them graciously and both beings bowed back.
"Kei, with your leave, I would wish to call you by the name that your parents have given you." The fowl said solemnly.
"I never knew them. How would you?" questioned Kei, "Yet if there is something you know about them, I would gladly accept the fact."
"Alvë, Manwë and Varda requests for your presence at Valinor."
"Legoals. . ." Kei loked at him. Her eyes pleaded for him to come.
"They requested your presence; not mine." Legolas told her urging her to go on.
She took his advice and went on to the winged beast. He waved to her as they flew high until he saw them no more. He knew that her dream was true; that she was the child of Manwë and Varda. He knew that he had naught the place nor the right to be with her any longer for he was only an elf, nothing more.

"Wither have you gone to, my son?" were Thranduil's greeting as Legolas entered their citadel (is there any?). "The whole kingdom had become sullen because of you absence. Where did you get such outlandish clothing?"
"Father," answered Legolas "I have gone to a land of great difference to our own. I was given these by a kindly being."
"Have you gone then to the East?" his father asked worriedly. "It would have been better if you had told us. Whatever may happen to you is far beyond imagination; now that it has come to my attention that you have come in contact with an Easterling."
"Father, I have reached a land that is far beyond that of which you speak of." Legolas told him, shaking his head. "I have gone to Kei's world."
"Come now, Legolas." Thranduil chuckled as if Legolas had made a joke. "'Tis not possible for you to have gone to their world, yet, whatever your case may be, go to your quarters and change. Other elves may mistake you with an intruder with your queer outfit."
"Yes, my lord." Legolas bowed with all due respect to his father. Grief was evident in his eyes yet Thranduil made no move to mention it to his son.

"Kei," Varda beckoned to her as she and Manwë came forth, "Perhaps you have known us from your dream and from reading the books of the world we have sent you in. Let us \explain to you what is going on and allow us to call you by your real name, Alvë."
"What do you mean? My dream?" asked Kei as she got off from the creature and flew away. "I can't be your daughter, can I?"
Manwë spoke, "Alvë, forgive us for we did this for your sake. When Varda has borne you, Melkor wished for you to side with him or for your death to grieve and hinder us from helping the children of Eru. We sent you to another world watching over you from a distance for Melkor's devices cannot be perceived easily and it is there that you are safe. We waited until Melkor's prowess have weakened and you have grown with wisdom so that neither he nor Sauron shall not deceive you easily should he try to ensnare you."
"We have called you back before," Varda added, "Yet instead of your intended deliverance here, you were by some chance brought to Mirkwood. We know that naught is left with you in the world that you have come to know. We now ask you to stay with us as you share eternal life and the power that Manwë and I do."
"Then I may dwell in all of Middle-earth?" asked Kei.
"You may only choose one." Manwë answered. "It is whether to live with us and share our might and live in peace or stay in Middle-earth or in the other realm and share the pain that all of them experience for you are still immortal. You shan't die by any weapon, disease or grief. Even the attempts of your destruction shall not affect you yet your powers shall depart from you yet we shall still watch over you. It is your choice."
"Think carefully before you choose for if you do not, another chance shall not be given to you and only regret shall remain in your heart." Varda advised.
"I have decided and I shall not regret it, I shall not." Kei answered. "Yet, before I depart, shall I ask of you one last thing?"
=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=
Legolas rode up to the scenery where he had come to know Kei better. 'Just an elf. . . I accept my fate, Kei - no, Alvë. It is amusing how such a thing unexpected could bring down a warrior and a prince such as I.' he thought to himself.
A gust of wind passed him and the greens seemed to sway along with his momentous thoughts. The sun shone brighter than any other day he could remember. The feeling in gave him, though, could not contend with the hurt inside, yet it lessened it.
Kei, be glad for you are with the Valar. Legolas whispered in the air hoping it shall reach her somehow, though he knows it is not possible.
"Are you sure about that, Kedakai Shou Yousei?" Kei asked from behind him.
"Kei! Why are you here? How did you understand me?" Legolas asked baffled at her sudden appearance.
I requested the Valar to grant me the Elven tongue. she explained, As for being here. . .
You forsook being a Valier? How did you choose to live in a world of confusion?
Simple. I thought of you. Kei said as she walked up to him "I figured that you wouldn't last another day without me."
How did you know? he asked riding along her taunt and wrapped her in his arms. I wouldn't even have lasted another sundown. Yet I am saddened for you for you have chosen to carry the eternal burdens of our land.
I beg to differ. she laid her head on his chest, As long as you're with me, I wouldn't be burdened.
You know that I will share everything with you. Legolas spoke as he cupped her cheek.
She responded by resting her head on it. Her slightly parted lips invited him for a kiss, although unintended. She was surprised by the sudden action but soon deepened it sealing their love forever.
OWARI!!!
Man, I can't believe I could get this sappy! Thank you all for reading and I hope that you read my other fics too! God bless you all!
