Chapter 33
Leaving

Legolas felt the rim of the poison bottle gently brush his lips as he prepared to gulp a mouth full down his throat. But was he felt the liquid moisten his lips, the chamber door flung open. Legolas was supirsed. So suprised he dropped the bottle into the water basin below.
He saw a drunken Ramza dizzly walk into the room and flopped himself upon his bed. He was breathing heavily. He wasn't sick... he was just dizzy. Legolas just stared at him, praying for Ramza to rest. The last time Ramza came in intoxicated, he beat Legolas.
Ramza turned his gaze from the ceiling to Legolas. "Get me some water, elf." He returned his gaze to the ceiling. Legolas looked into the water basin which had a light purple tint to it. It was filled with poioson. What was he going to do?
Ramza saw Legolas doing nothing out of the corner of his eye. Fury swept over him and he began turn a bright red. He got up and walked towards Legolas. He had a faster pace than normal. Legolas began to walk backwards, hoping that he would eventualy pass out. Legolas soon met a corner of the room, stopping his escape.
Ramza stood over him and glared it him with a deep hatred. He drew back his hand, preparing to give a blow of discipline. "No!" Legolas cried out. The usual fear and coldness clouded his mind again, causing him to shake. He looked down to the ground and fell to his kness. Ramza slung his hand forward and knocked Legolas to the ground. He gave Legolas a strong kick in his ribs and spoke to him.
"You sicken me elf." Legolas whimpered, fearing another painful kick to his ribs. "You have stolen my sister, stolen my happiness... and have stolen my heart." Legolas opened his ear further to try and make since of his confusing speach.
"I have always loved my sister. It could be considered sibling love... but it is more... much more. I loved my sister as a lover. She is my ray a light. But you came along and blocked her rays from me like a rain cloud, keeping all my happiness away. I have known my sister for over ten years and could never win her trust and comfort, but you... you come and in less the three sunsets and win her over. I envy you, elf. So much it seems more, more than hatred. You could never take my sisters place! I do not love you! DAMN YOU!"
He began kicking Legolas again. Every kick taking crumbs of his fractured block of sanity began to form, and soon chips, and even chunks.
Legolas felt his ribs being fractured from the floggings the cruel and envious Prince gave to him. Legolas could do nothing but feel the cold smother his consciousness, and the neverending shakes of his body drain his energy, causing painful tear to swell and drain from his eyes.
Eventualy a perspired prince felt dehydration overflow him. He staggered to the dresser and picked up the water basin. He gulped down the water, leaving a cupfull left. He began to walk to Legolas again. Legolas tried to scream for help, but his insides burned to much from his beating.
Ramza was about to kick again when he heard a scream.
"No Ramza!" Cried the innocent princess Philla. "Stop this madness!"
Ramza felt the spears of regret fill his mind. But before he could say anything the poison took effect. He fell to the floor as his pulse stop occuring, leaving a corpse of a prince lying near a corner... near his beaten slave.
Philla ignored her brother but ran to the bruised and bloody Legolas. She brushed back the hair that had fallen in his face to view his eyes.
"I know why you are hear Legolas," She said to him, giving Legolas a reason to look back. "I came ot me in a vision. You gave up your entire life for me, I don't know what I feel about this though. I do not feel regret for you... but I do feel love. But I know what I must do to send you back," she said to him looking at the basin full of poisoned water.
"You made a deal with a man, the man who represents the evil that will take over your world of Middle Earth. The man's deal was for you to give up your life for me. I am the center of the handshake... But you must go back. You have a life you have worked hard for there, so I must break the center of the deal for you."
"W-uh... What do you... m-uh... mean?" Legolas managed to say between sobs of pain.
A hotness appeared around her face as she fought back the tears. "I must die...."
Legolas threw his head back and prayed to his God for her to reconsider. But all she did was dive in to give Legolas the most passionate kiss she would ever be able to give. She never wanted ot withdraw, but she must as soon as possible so he could be gone in time... gone before the guards would find her dead brother.
She then released her tears and the fell on Legolas' face, bringing a cool singe to his skin when they landed.
"When you stopped visiting me, I thought you loved me no longer. I thought that the kiss was to sudden and yuo though I was to needfull. But I heard Ramza speak to you... I am sorry it had to turn out this way."
She gave him a strong hug, only grabbing his upper body to avoid his broken ribs. She would do anything to keep him forever. She forced herself to let go, causing the internal completion to go away as she left him. She picked up the water basin and drank the remaing poison in it, concentrating on the bottle that still reamained on the bottom.
She then crawled back to Legolas and cuddled next to him. He painfully put his arms around her and kissed her once again. It lasted for what seemed like forever. She felt her life drifting away, so she pulled apart to use her last breaths on her love.
"Please Legolas, I say this with all that I have left to give. Never forget me..."
This was to much for both of them. They both cried the tears of broken hearts and held each other close in a tight embrace. Soon, Philla's embrace loosened and she fell limp.
Legolas held her lifeless body close and felt himself give away. His body disappeared from the palace, from that world, from that time. He would soon arrive back where he belonged.
He would soon be back in his old life where he had nothing...

Ahhh.... so sad....
Hopefully you can at least think about crying over this. If anyone of you have ever had a real love for someone, could you imagine them dying? That was the reaction I was hoping to get! Of course I'm not that good with love themes in stories, so be considerate. ^_^

Read under the 'Note to Reader' section to go over what has happened in these last chapters where Legolas was sent to a different version of middle earth! I know it is a bit confusig, but I will go over it a with the main points to make it more clear.
