I galloped through the woods back to Rivendell.
I was welcomed as I came through the gates. The crowd cheered. I jumped off my horse and handed the reigns to a stable boy, who bowed and took my horse towards the stable. The crowd parted and Lord Elrond walked towards me. I bowed, then straightened.
"My friend."He said with a smile. He then turned and extended a hand towards the House. "Won't you stay?"He asked. I nodded.
"Not for long, I am afraid. I am on assignment to Mirkwood, but am allowed to stop here for one week."I answered as we headed for the great building.
"My guards have done well since you agreed to train them. We have had two major attacks, both of witch were thwarted with no major injury to my people."He said.
And so I stayed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I headed into the garden, humming a song from war. My steps were heavy and I was not being quiet. I walked around a corner and stopped.
"You come back...."She had her back to me. Her hair was billowing in the wind, and shining in the moonlight. She was a bit taller as well.
"I do."I said, stepping towards her. She turned to me and I saw a tear glistening her eye.
"Nae saian lumme."((It has been too long))She said as I embraced her.
"It has been long, and I return. But I am to leave again."I said, kissing her silver head. She pulled away.
"You leave me again?!"She said, her hand balling into a fist, rested on her heart.
"I am sorry....but you gave your love to a soldier, and...."I stopped. She turned away.
"Then we should end this."She said, almost bitterly.
"No!"I cried, grabbing her shoulders and turning her back to me. She grabbed my shirt with both hands.
"Then stay here with me."She said, pulling me towards her. "I love you- stay with me."She said as her eyes bore into mine.
"I want to....I can not. I have swore into the Army and neither love nor hate can pull me from it."I said, pulling her hands off. She threw herself back into my arms and pressed her lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting on my bed, staring at my bow and arrows that were laying on the floor in front of me. The door to my room was pushed open and I looked up. It was Lord Elrond, and he was looking grieved.
"Perhaps you should....come with me."He said, his eyes downcast. I stood and we walked towards the Healing House. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As he led me in, a loud crying could be heard. We came to a room, where the noise was coming from. He bowed his head, and I opened the door. Celewen was being held down on the bed, an arrow protruding from her shoulder. Her face was tearstreaked and pale and the Elves holding her also had tears in their eyes. One of them tried to pull the arrow out, and Celewen screamed.
"Hush Celewen."I said, walking forward. She looked at me, holding back sobs.
"I'm-I'm going to die."She said, as I knelt next to her. She attempted to hug me, but I forced her back down. "I'm going to die, I know it and so do you and so do they!"She yelled, clutching my hand.
"Let one of them take the arrow out."I said, and she looked at me. "Squeeze my hand, but do not cry out."I said, readying myself for pain.
I waited..............
and waited................................
But it did not come. I looked up. Her face was ghostly pale, her eyes blank and her head tilted to the side.
"C-Celewen?"I asked. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into the face of Lord Elrond. His eyes were full of kindness as he looked upon me. I turned away and kissed her cold hand, then layed it on her stomach. I stood and backed away.
"She was attacked."Elrond said. I quickly looked away to hide my tears. Soldiers do not cry. Not through pain; wheather physical or emotional. I would not cry My lip trembled, but I bit it. But I will not cry.
~*I loved her,
She loved me.
She perished by arrow.
And I into sea.*~
He threw himself into the river Anduin and drown himself in his grief. When one loses the one they love, the emptiness is enough to drive them mad. This is what happened to our soldier.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~` *hides from everyone* ~~~Elfy~~~
