Ithilien

The rest of the morning went smoothly as the lover bathed and prepared for breakfast with the guests that were left from their wedding. They knew their fate was going to be set before them that morning. Both knew this but felt that no matter what was set before them they would triumph since they were together.

"Good morning young lovers." said Galaderial as the two walked to the table hand in hand. "You both look quite happy today." she said and she motioned for them to sit and eat.

"Yes, we are quite happy this morning." said Legolas as he pulled out a chair for Amowiel to sit. " We are bound to one another for forever… nothing could make me happier." he said as sat himself next to her.

"I feel that you have great news for us my lady." said Amowiel as she bit into one of the fresh apples that adorned the table.

"I see that your talents not only lay in melody but in perception of the future. You have made a wise and lovely choice in a wife Prince Legolas. Yes, I do have great news for you. Legolas, your dear friend Aragorn has requested your presence in Ithilien. He wishes you to come and help rebuild and cleanse the land of its past." she said looking at the you couple at the other end of the table.

"We will go to Gondor then. I know not what help I will be but I will aid my dear friend. I have not seen him for a long while. He will be happy to see I have finally taken a bride." Legolas said with a smile.

"Yes, it will bring him great pleasure to see you happy with such a wonderful wife." said Galaderial with a chuckle. "You will leave tomorrow morn with a small troop of craftsman and builders from all over the elven realms. I must be about my business, I sugest you two enjoy your time here for I see your future will be very busy." she said as she stood to leave.

"Gondor then. This is much different then what I saw for us my love." Legolas said as he put his hand over hers where it rested on the arm of the chair. "Come, let us go enjoy the beauty of the woods, while we have a chance. I feel something beginning to pull on me… I have yet to know what it is, I would like to clear my mind of it." he said as he pulled her up from her chair.

The two lay on the soft grasses of a filed secluded from the path they had been walking on. Amowiel lay wrapped up in Legolas' arms singing one of her melodies that had yet to have words.

"My love, do you know what this song os to be about yet?" Legolas asked as he looked down towards her face.

"No my darling…does it remind you of something?" she asked rolling to lay with her chin in her hands up on her elbows. She watched his face pondering what she had asked.

"It reminds me of…the sea. " he said softly. Almost to soft for her to hear. He rolled to face her and touched his finger to the tip of her nose like a small child would. It made he smile and laugh at him as she lay back down putting her head on his chest. She once again began to sing. He could feel the vibrations of her voice like waves of water on his body as she began to put words with they soft melody.

The sea is a mystery to me

So many things it brings

Shells and waves that sound like bells

Waves against stone

Waves against sand

The sound of waves have hold of my head, my heart, my hand

Someday I will sail on your blue beauty

To lands far away for if I could leave this place I'd go sailing

On the open sea my love and me forever free.

It was as if she had read his mind. How could she have known what he couldn't even find clear in his own mind. Unless they were of the same mind.

"Do you like it me love?" she asked looking up into his great dark blue eyes the color of the sea at night.

"Yes… its beauty is amazing." he said dreamily pulling her close and smelling the sent of her hair. "we must go pack my love. We are to begin our new life in the morn I wish for another wonderful night in your embrace. I wish for us to have many young elves and I do not want to pass up a chance to make one." he said as he tickled her and rolled on top of her looking down into her eyes.

"I wish for our children to have your light hair and strong face…" she said ash she reached up to caress his face.

"And I wish for them your eyes and talent." he said as he leaned down to kiss her softly. "come my songstress we must prepare for our journey." he said as he got up and pulled her with him.

" I'm all ready my dear. Do you need me to get anything for you?" Amowiel asked asked him as she wraped her harms around his waist from behind.

"Yes dear, if you could bring my bow and quiver out I will love you for forever." she said with a smile.

"You'll love me for forever anyways, but I will get them for you." she said as she brought them over for him.

" I don't think I will be needing my bow for military reasons but I could never leave it.." he said as she took it from her and ran his fingers down the string.

"Asking you to leave your bow would be like asking me to leave my music." No one would ever ask you to do that.

"sing me a song…Amowiel an old one. How about the one about tin soldiers that your father taught as a child."

Listen Children to a story that was written long ago

About a people on a mountain and the valley folk below

On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone

And the valley people swore they have it for their very own.

So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill

asking for the buried treasure ton of gold for which they'd kill

Came an answer from the mountain with our brothers we will share

All the secrets of the mountain all the riches buried there.

Now the valley cried with anger mount your horses draw your swords

And they killed the mountain people so they won their just reward

Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red

Turned the stone and looked beneath it: Peace on Earth was all it said.

"I do love that song." he said after she finished. "I love it more when you sing it." he smiled at her. "but you know I love other things that you do to…" she said pulling her to him. "I love how you hold me when we sleep, how you get a dimple in your right cheek when you smile and laugh." he said as he stroked her cheek. " Love how you sing all the time and most of all I love how you love me." she said as he brought her to lay down on the bed.

"I love a lot about you too." she said as she slide back on the bed giving him room to lay next to her. "I love how you always look into my eyes letting me get lost in your stare." she said as she planted a soft kiss on his lips. "I love how you hold me close in your strong arms. I love how focused you are on the task at hand." she said as she reached up to stroke his ear." and most of all I love how you love me." she said as he brought his lips town for a real kiss.

Amowiel quickly used her feet to kick lose the drapes that surrounded their bed this time to cut out the sound. This was love making with a purpose, children. They loved each other tenderly and speaking soft words of encouragement to one another as the night went on. By morning they were both spent in every way. But they loved the feeling.

"My lover… its time for us to begin our journey." Legolas said as she smiled down at his naked wife.

"Yes, it is. We now begin the rest of our lives." she said smiling up at him.

So what do you think? Good? Bad? The sing to the sea was a poem I wrote on the spot so if you think it really sucks than your right it does. The Tin Soldier song is a real song although I don't know who sings it, I learned it at camp. So what do you think is going to happen next? If you have prediction please put them in a review I would love to hear what you think. Even if you think my story sucks.
