It Ends at Dawn
Lalandra paced back and forth deep in thought. On one side, sat an angry Legolas, her wonderful husband. On the other side of her, sat Cresto, a good friend,
and a young wizard who's hopelessly in love with the elf in question, but has been too shy to say anything to her. She, being really the only neutral person
in the room at the moment, held Seanti's fate in the palms of her hands.
"She should be taken care of before she does something that could harm more people." She said, more to herself than anyone else.
"Yes." Legolas replied, breaking into her thoughts. She knew what he was trying to say, without actually coming out and saying it. He wanted her dead. Which
was understandable. She did after all kill a person who was on her side, not to mention hurt the prince himself.
"No!" Cresto's voice interrupted, "I will not let her die just because of a few small mistakes!"
"Mistakes? She KILLED an elf! She is dangerous to herself and everyone around her! She needs to be taken care of!" Before Cresto could retort, a messenger
burst through the large doors and rushed over to Lalandra, handing her an old, heavy book that's binding was falling apart. She gave him a grateful smile and
set the book on the table.
"Ana? what is it?" Legolas asked, walking towards her. Cresto followed suit and sat down beside her as well.
"It's a book silly." Legolas rolled his his eyes and waited for his wife to finish reading the scratchy writing that covered the page. After almost a half an
hour and many pages later, Lalandra finally closed the book and turned her attention towards the two men who were watching her intently. "I was reading up on
the Dream Elves and their queen. So, it says here, that the queen would be born with the exact same tattoo of a raven as our friend has."
"Which she did have when she was born." Cresto informed. Ana raised an elegant brow,
"I thought you weren't there when she was born."
"well... I uh... I lied." he admitted silently. Lalandra smiled knowingly, and began to move on.
"She seems to have all the right marks that would make her one of them." She flipped through the book some more, scanning it.
"Don't forget that necklace she always wears." Cresto said. Lalandra nodded. Her eyes grew wide as she stumbled on a part of the text that she had skipped
before.
"Well... I've solved our Orc problem..."

Seanti sat in the same spot that she had been placed in, but was now staring at herself in the mirror. She noticed that in her time spent in Middle Earth,
her hair had darkened, her eyes had seemed to have sunken in and become dull, and her skin was more pale then before. She had lost a lot of weight as well.
Only her lips stayed the same, a deep pink color, they stood out. She sighed and turned her attention back towards the raging battle just beyond her window.
She smiled as she watched her friends fight her foe. She wondered then, just what they were going to do to her, and how long she had before they did it.
~*~*~
"Well?" Legolas prompted. He had a feeling that he knew what was coming, but he needed to hear the words himself.
"There attracted to her. They're trying to protect her."
"So how do we get rid of them without harming her?" Cresto asked, already sounding hopeless.
"That's the problem. We cant. The only way to rid ourselves of them, is to kill the las person responsible for them..."
"Seanti" Legolas whispered. Lalandra nodded. Cresto stood and walked calmly over to the closest wall. The two elves watched curiously as Cresto reached it.
And that, was when he lost it. If that wall had been a living thing... the first blow would have killed it. Legolas and two other elves had to restrain him
from hurting himself anymore. They waited the rest of the day out. Deciding to take action near dawn.
~*~*~
When the first rays of morning peeped through the trees, four able elves burst through Seanti's door and into her room. They found her sitting calmly,
looking out her window. They took her, with no struggling, and led her outside to where Lalandra, Legolas and Cresto (who had a few men standing behind him
in case he went berserk) stood beside a large pile off wood with one standing erect, serving as a pole.
The elves quickly led Seanti towards the wood pile, but, when passing Cresto, she heard him whisper, "I love you Seanti. I always have... always will." With
all the venom she could muster, she replied,
"If you love me so much, why don't you let me free?" She spit at him then, a look of total disgust on her face. She was pushed on top the pile of wood, and
tied to the stake. She straightened her posture as much as she could, and held her head high. Lalandra muttered a few words, a spell, and soon the wood
beneath Seanti's feet began to burn. Cresto tried to get to her to save her, but the elves that stood behind him grabbed hold of him and held him in place.
As the fire licked at her legs, Seanti began to screech and wail in torment. Soon her whole body was engulfed y the hungry flames. As her cries became louder
and more intense, a new voice joined her with its own cry of pain. It was the orcs, who were now hidden in the depths of the forest. They yelped in agony
feeling the same hurt that their queen was going through, as if they themselves were being burned alive. A new sound then accompanied those of the orcs and
their queen. It was the sound of a mans heart shattering, and his sobs over a love that was never to be.
Even as her screams faded, those of the orcs lingered. Soon an eerie silence fell upon all of Middle Earth. All knew then, that they were once and for all
safe from the evil of Sauron and his minions. Safe, that is, until a new evil arises...
