"Cormamin nuive tenna' ta elea lle au'."((My heart shall weep until
it sees thee again.)) She said, as she took my hands.I smiled.
"Do not."I said, reaching up and putting a hand on her cheek. She put her hand on mine. "For I am a soldier, and there is always the possibility that I may die before I return."I said. This shocked her and her eyes showed this.
"Do not say this!"She said, putting a finger to his lips. "If it were to happen...."She trailed off. We were silent for a few moments, and then she looked as if to say something. I never learned what she would have said, for at that moment I kissed her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next day~~
We were leaving Rivendell and I saw her standing in the door of the garden. She had one hand on the hedge and was looking right at me. I turned my horse and rode over to her. I slid off and stood in front of her. She gazed at me, then her eyes flicked past me. My hand found hers and they clasped.
"Goodbye, fair maiden of Rivendell."I said, then knelt, kissed her hand and let go, then arose, mounted my horse and rode back for the gates. The 11 of us reared our horses, and, my captain leading, went through the gates. I was last. I heard a commotion in the crowd and stopped, turning. A horse charged past me, bearing a rider wearing silver.I rode after the horse.
I followed the horse into a clearing. She was standing there, her back to me. I jumped off my horse.
"Lady, what is wrong?Why did you leave the city?"I asked, walking over to her. She turned to me and fixed her captivating silver eyes on me.
"Why must you leave?"She asked.
"I have to go back to Lothlorien."I answered. She stepped closer.
"I have fallen in love with you..."She said and placed one of her slender hands on the side of my face.
"And I you, but I am in the Army and I cannot love."I said, frowning.
"Please."She said, putting her hands on my shoulders now."Make an exception for me."She pleaded. I kissed her forehead, then turned away, walking back for my horse.I remounted it, and turned back for the path. As I looked around to get my bearings, I felt a warm hand on my arm. I turned and felt her lips on mine. I leaned down, putting my hand in her silver hair. She put her hands on my face, then pulled back. "Then promise to come back."She said.
"I promise."I said, pressing my lips to her forehead, then galloping into the forest.
And I did return. One month later I went back to my silver beauty.
