^chapter 3^
They had gone to bed after being out for few moments. Morréwen had not said much to Legolas after that but he did not care. She had talked to him. That was the main point. Morréwen was not mute, she actually had a voice.
Legolas was always told that Morréwen was mute that she did not have any voice. Now he wondered why he had been told so.
* I wonder what happened to you. Your father never spoke of it. only that you were taken as a prisoner and you were able to return. Who was that person? Was it a man? Is that the reason you have never wanted to meet Aragorn? And why you are willing to meet him now?* Legolas was puzzled. All these years he had know her they had been open to each other but right now she had become a mystery to him. Her past was mystery.
Legolas watched Morréwen sleep. Her emerald eyes were open, but he knew she was sleeping. This time she slept peacefully but usually she was the one to watch over him, even in her sleep. That how it used to be. Now it was his turn to watch over her. To make sure thing were going to be alright. It was his turn to protect her.
The next morning they left from their journey to Minis Tirith. The journey was to be nice and not taking long. It would give them time to be together. In Mirkwood they really had had no time to spend together since Legolas had arrived home. Thus it was because he had obligation and she had them also.
Bu nowt Legolas was disturbed. Morréwen had grown silent again. He had been sure he had heard those words come out of her mouth. He had to make sure that he had not been wrong about her. He had to be sure that his elven ears were not hearing wrong.
´ Why are you silent my dear? It is only us in the woods. Why not speak to me?` Legolas questioned from her.
Morréwen only smiled at him with her emerald eyes sparkling. She had now awoken Legolas' curiosity and she did found that amusing.
´I shall only say this once. I have been forbidden to speak by my father. I have already broken my wow to myself in this as a spoke to you. I shall never speak again not in front of a human. So I shall say this to you. I only shall allow you to hear me. But to others you must tell I cannot utter a word. Will you promise this ?` Morréwen¨s voice did not sound so raspy anymore as if she had been practicing her voice again.
`I will. I will. Thus it is wrong I say, but for you I shall do it. But I wish to know why?"
" when I am ready, my love, I shall tell you why. There are only two other that knows the truth about what happened to me. My father and Lady Galadriel. She has seen it trough her mirror and she has been very sad about it. As it is know that the songs of elves are the most wonderful ones on the whole Middle Earth. You have never heard me but I can tell you that I beat Haldir in singing.. oh and in arrow too ´ Morréwen's face lit up with new light that made Legolas even more in love with her.
"Oh, I know how Haldir sounds. I know that I can also win him when it come to shooting arrows. But could you beat me in the arrow?`
´I do not believe that I can. You are the best warrior in Mirkwood. I only fallow your footsteps .´
Rest of their journey was done in silence, but again it was not awkward it was comforting.
