Song For Nought
~
Waenmetiel watched as the young elves splashed and played together in the small pond and felt sorrow in her that her days in the summer of Rivendell being carefree were over.
"Legolas!" Nuquer yelled as he pulled her under the water.
Waenmetiel watched Legolas's lithe body move with ease, his muscles hardening as he pulled Nuquer into his arms and held her close to his tight chest.
Waenmetiel couldn't help but let her eyes stray over his young body, so alive with youth. The water glistened on his back and Waenmetiel found herself craving his body.

Thranduil said his final farewell to Elrond and mounted his proud horse. Elrond watched Thranduil disappear into the distance with his guards surrounding him.
Elrond sighed and turned to find his young elves. He heard the giddy laughter of them in the central courtyard pond and headed towards that way.
Waenmetiel heard footsteps coming along the passageway and turned to see who was coming. Elrond caught sight of Waenmetiel and waved his greeting.
"They all look so happy together." Waenmetiel commented of the elflings.
"I was lucky, they all got along very well since the beginning." Elrond smiled and looked on as his sons and their friend pestered the girls in splashing water on them as they try and dry off.
"The girl with the dark hair, she looks, familiar." Waenmetiel looked at Nuquer.
"That's Nuquernaromen, she is from Dol Amroth, her mother went there after she fell in love with a man but he died and she married Nuquer's father who was traveling with a company of elves traveling through." Elrond stated briefly.
"Hmm, interesting. Legolas seems to have taken a liking to her." Waenmetiel said what both Elrond and Thranduil had already known.
"Yes." Elrond replied.
"Is Thranduil happy about that?" Waenmetiel once again let her eyes stray over his hard body.
"He wishes Legolas to marry an elf of Rivendell or Mirkwood I believe. Although he won't admit he likes Nuquer just fine." Elrond smiled lightly.
"I see." Waenmetiel nodded.

Nuquer dodged another splash of water and turned to see Elrond and Waenmetiel talking not to far off in the distance. Nuquer's feeling of uncertainty returned and her happiness left her. She gathered her towel and wrapped herself in it.
"Nuquer, was it the matter?" Legolas noticed Nuquer's sudden coldness.
"It's her." Nuquer simply stated and looked at Waenmetiel.
"Oh." Legolas understood, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling well up inside of him either, although he was quite certain it wasn't the same feeling Nuquer was getting.
