A Late Night Stroll
Nuinregwen woke up to the sound of silent breathing next to her. It was dark out. She looked to the soarce of the breathing and found Prince Legolas asleep with his head resting on her bed. She smiled when she noted he was holding her hand. She looked around at the room she was in. It was well furnished and quite beautiful actually. When she turned back to Legolas she found him watching her. "How are you feeling Princess?" "I'm fine. How long have you been there?" He thought for a minute."About six days. You have been very ill." She stared at him, blinked a couple times, and then laid her head back down. It all came crashing down on her. She was in Rivendell because they had been attacked. She wanted to ask what happened but was too scared.
Legolas was watching all the emotions that sped in her eyes. Suprise, doubt, sadness, they held nothing back. He couldn't think of anything he could, so he just aske dthe first thing that popped into his head."Are you hungry? Is there anything I can do?" She looked back at him." No." He sighed and finally got up."Well, seeing how you are alright, I had better get going." He bowed and then left the room.
Nuinregwen got up and checked her bandages. She was almost fully healed. She put on a robe over her gown and went onto the balcony. It was a gorgeous place, but seemed strange to her. She had grown up with snow her whole life. Here, there was none. All around her were flowers of every color you could imagine and trees of every kind galore. She had the sudden urge to go explore it all. She looked about and saw no movement. So, she climbed over her balcony and got into a tree whose limbs spread out over the balcony. She climbed down and finally dropped down from it onto the ground.
She walked over to the stables where she found Nephredil looking bored out of her mind. "Hello girl, looks like they've treated you alright." She patted her soft nose. "You want to go out and explore?" Nephredil started dancing around in her stall. Nuinregwen laughed,"I take that as a yes." She then opened up the stall and leapt onto Nephredil's back and they walked out of the barn and across the grounds. Once they were far enough from the city, she put Nephredil into a gallop and they went into the trees. Nuinregwen looked around in awe. The trees were magnificent. What stories they could tell. She finally stopped Nephredil at a creek. She got off and let Nephredil drink. She looked down at the water.
She sat there for she couldn't remember how long. She finally stood up and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Legolas standing there with his horse. "I see you felt like exploring. It's beautiful here, is it not?" She relaxed again. "Yes, it is. I don't like to stay in the indoors very much. I just feel more comfortable out here." He walked over to her and leaned against a tree. He looked up at the sky. "They're beautiful." She looked up at the sky. It was full of stars. "I don't get to see much of it when I'm in Mirkwood." "Tell me of your home." He was silent for a couple of minutes. "Mirkwood forest is a majestic place. Although it is very dangerous now days. If you are ever to travel through it you must ride in a group unless you are a native. The spiders that reside in some of the trees have gotten quite big over the years. Though, the forest is dark it is beautiful. Some of the best trees you have ever seen. Sometimes I just like to take a walk through the forest and listen to the trees stories. Although, like I said you don't see the stars often. The forest is thick and you can only see the stars if you climb to the tallest of trees. But it is a magnificent place."
He put his hand on the tree and shut his eyes. She watched him. His face was full of compassion. Now this was a true elf of the forest. She turned away and walked over to Nephredil. She climbed on him and faced Legolas. "Let us hope you can return their soon, my friend." She kicked Nephredil into motion and left the area. Legolas watched in silence then turned to his horse. "And let us hope that the sorrow may leave your heart soon."
