Song For Nought
~
The next day Melde awoke to something very pleasant, her memory! She jumped out of the infirmary bed where she was lying and ran over to Elrond who had fallen asleep on his desk some time during the night.
"Elrond!" Melde exclaimed, waking Elrond with a start.
"What!?"
"I can remember everything now! My memory, it's returned! Thank you so much!" Melde grabbed Elrond into a hug and finally let go when she realized what she was doing, "I'm sorry, Lord Elrond. I just got over excited." Melde blushed and straightened his robe where she had wrinkled it.
"It's fine, Melde, perfectly fine. I'm very glad that you have your memory back! That makes two of us now." Elrond smiled at Melde as he stood up and stretched his back and neck from his unusual sleeping position.
Melde couldn't restrain herself and gave him one more quick hug before she ran out of the infirmary.
Elrond smiled to himself, it had been a long time since he had gotten a nice hug and it felt comforting.

Nuquer and Legolas were ate breakfast early in the morning, looking surprisingly sad.
"What happen to you two?" Melde asked as she ran in.
"Melde, do you know that we leave tomorrow? Today is the last day of summer." Nuquer looked up at Melde.
"You're right, it is." Melde sat down, succumbing to the realization herself.
"This is our last day in Rivendell together." Legolas lay his fork down, he couldn't bare to eat anything.
Maik, Ven, and the twins walked in with equally happy expressions on..
"I'm going to miss you guys so much." Ven sighed as she sat down and did little but play with the food before her.
"Good morning young ones." Elrond smiled warmly as he entered, "I'm sure you have all realized that today is the last day of summer, which means tomorrow you all leave." Elrond looked around at the sad faces before him.
"Elrond, we've enjoyed this summer beyond count." Maik looked at the floor before the others could see the tears in her eyes.
"Even though, some times haven't been as happy as others." Ven laughed lightly, thinking it was very strange that during this seemingly short summer they had been attacked, kidnapped, lost, and hassled by a witch-elf and yet, they were all so sad to be leaving.
"I have arranged your journeys home. I guessed that you'd all like to travel together one last time so you will all go together and stop, one by one to drop each person off. And then Elladan and Elrohir, you'll stay in Lothlorien for maybe a week and visit your sister and the Lord and Lady Celeborn." Elrond informed that before leaving them to their thoughts.
"At least we'll have a week or more of traveling together!" Elrohir smiled hopefully.
"At least we'll have that together, you're right." Elladan agreed.

Later that day, most of the young elves were busy packing their clothes and other items back into their packs and cleaning up their rooms.
Maik knocked lightly on Elladan's door once she was done.
"Maik, come on in." Elladan stepped aside as Maik entered the room.
"I came to talk about, well us." Maik said shyly.
"I thought you might have." Elladan nodded and sat on his bed, motioning for Maik to also have a seat.
"What do you think?" Maik asked.
"I'm not sure really. Do we want to take this to the next level, and be together?" Elladan looked into Maik's eyes.
"We live so far apart." Maik trailed off.
"You're right. We had a little fun this summer. I think you should return to your home and I'll stay here, of course we'll always be friends and if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here." Elladan smiled at Maik.
The two sat in silence for a few moments before Maik stood and walked over to Elladan and gave him a hug, "That is what we will do then. Promise you won't forget about me."
"I could never forget you Maik, you'll always have a special place within my heart." Elladan kissed the top of Maik's head and released her.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Maik said quietly as she left Elladan in his room.

The next day, the weather seemed to be having the same feelings as the elves; it was dark and gloomy. Dark ominous clouds hug over Rivendell threatening to rain down at any moment. Elrond supervised while the young elves packed their packs onto their horses and mounted up.
Glorfindel and Haldir had volunteered to lead the young ones on their journey, it would also be good for Haldir to get out for a while.
"Be safe and travel well." Elrond waved the party off.
The eight travelers waved their good-byes and started out the gates of Rivendell.
