"Come in!" the two girls chimed in unison. The door opened and there stood Legolas. He had something green and white draped over his arm.
"Dinner is in two hours. I had these dresses made especially for you ladies." He handed them each a sparkly flowing evening gown. Elendra's was emerald green (her favorite color) with long, flared sleeves and flared bottom. The neckline was encrusted with emeralds. Leia's was strapless with the same bottom as Elendra's. Its pure white color was set off with diamonds in a curling smoke-like pattern all over.
"Oh wow." Elendra said in complete surprise.
"Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!" Leia squealed as she gave Legolas a bone- crushing hug.
"Don't I get a hug from you, my dear?" Legolas said as he looked at Elendra expectantly.
"Ye Yes, of course." she stammered. She gave him a hug with about half the passion as the one Leia had given him. She was still stunned from the dress. It was the most beautiful thing she had seen since the day 700 years ago when she helped her mother clean her closet. "Thank you very much. It is very beautiful."
"Not nearly as beautiful as you." he said with a wink. "Well, I had better leave you two to get ready. Faramir and I will meet you ladies in the front hall, ok?"
"Ok, tenna' san'!" Elendra called after him as he walked through the door.
"What did you say to him as he left? Goodbye my sweet lover?" Leia questioned excitedly.
"No, I simply said until then. It's a goodbye."
"Uh huh. O dear, we have to get ready if they want us there in two hours!"
"Now it would be about an hour and a half."
"Well then lets go!"
The next hour and a half where filled with primping and styling. Elendra had done Leia's hair in all-around braids with butterfly clips on the end of each one. Elendra had two thin braids framing her face. They had on the dresses Legolas had given them.
"Shall we go down, dinner is in ten minutes."
"Yes, I can't wait to show Faramir my dress!" exclaimed the excited young girl.
"I'm sure he will love it and you are the one wearing it so it is all the better."
"Yep, well what are we waiting for? Lets go!"
With that they set off. The palace is a very big place and it is easy to get lost. Luckily Legolas and Faramir were coming down the guest wing hall. Elendra looked at her future husband. 'He isn't so bad; I could learn to love him. I mean, he is quite handsome. I just hope is as kind and caring as seems to be. That is Luke's only fault, he is so. so childish sometimes.'
"Middle Earth to Elendra? You there?" Leia joked as she poked Elendra in the arm.
"Oh, sorry. I got lost in thought. Shall we?"
"Yes, they will be most displeased if we are late." Legolas said taking Elendra's arm and leading her down the hall. Leia and Faramir followed close behind. They walked down the long, winding halls. 'This place is so beautiful, I wouldn't mind living here. Maybe I could have Leia come and live with me here for a while.'
Soon they stopped in front of two great doors. They were at least 10 feet tall and had elegant carvings on them. Above the doorway there was an elvish phrase: 'Elen sila lumenn omentilmo' which means A star shall shine on the hour of our meeting.
"This is the great banquet and meeting hall. Most of our formal engagements are held here, the only ones that aren't are special events." Legolas informed the rest of the group with a very princely tone.
"What do those words mean?" Leia asked to the amusement of the rest. They all spoke elvish except her.
"They mean a star shall shine on the hour of our meeting. It is appropriate because, like I said, most of our state functions are held here."
"Oh, that makes sense."
The group continued past the doors and into the hall. The hall itself was something else. The pillars at the edges of the rooms were carved into likenesses of past rulers of Mirkwood. They were so finely crafted it seemed they could jump down and join them at any moment. On the walls were paintings of various places throughout the Woodland realm. The table, while laden with enticing elvish food, had ornate center pieces scattered between the dishes.
They took their seats, Legolas at the far head of the table and Elendra to his right. Faramir sat on hid left and Leia next to him.
Legolas stood and cleared his throat loudly. "Welcome, ladies and lords of Mirkwood. I called you here to introduce my fiancé, Elendra." He motioned to her to stand beside him. "Also, to announce our wedding, which is at the end of the month." Legolas turned and smiled at Elendra, while she stared at him with shock and surprise.
