Chapter 2
Awakening In The Palace
Lostwathion watched in glee as his friend took his punishment. This would teach him to play jokes on Lostwathion.
When they had finished and Moreliniel now cried, Lostwathion laughed.
Legolas heard him laughing and anger boiled up inside of him.
He rolled off of Moreliniel and glared at him.
Lostwathion only laughed harder at this.
When he had finally calmed himself he smiled at Legolas.
"I hope you learned your lesson Legolas. Am I now to have a turn with her?" He said at last with a smirk on his face
"I hope you suffer for the pain you have placed upon her! And you shall NEVER touch her!" Was Lgolas' reply as he stood to dress himself.
"Oh Come now Legolas...you are bound to a beautiful maiden as you have always wished!"
"What I wished...was to marry for love...and for her to return it." Legolas had pulled on his leggings and undershirt, and now he wrapped Moreliniel in the red crimson sheet and picked her up.
She had fallen asleep, though she still sniffled every so often. She put her arms around his neck, and nuzzled her face into the spot bellow his chin.
"I should think she wished for the same...but now you took that opportunity away from us both...and I hope you suffer dearly for it, as she has." Legolas began to walk by him when Lostwathion spoke to him.
"Always thinking of others first Legolas, why not think of yourself?"
Legolas halted, but did not turn to face him.
"Because the only pain I went through was losing the ability to choose. Moreliniel suffered both physical and mental pain...and I will spend the rest of our days together trying to make it up to her." With that Legolas walked out of the room.
"You will have my daggers and other weapons brought to me at once! We leave now!" He yelled over his shoulder.
Lostwathion crossed his arms and sighed.
He nodded at the two Elves who stood by the door, and they left to find Legolas' things.
"Have a horse brought to him as well, blind fold both him and the maiden, and lead them to the road that leads to the palace...only there can you remove the blindfolds. He should not know the location of this magnificent castle." Lostwathion told them whence they had retrieved all of Legolas' things. They nodded and left to obey their master.
Lostwathion sighed and walked out to his massive balcony. He would sleep well tonight...for his bed was put to great use that day.
He smiled as he watched his men blindfold Legolas, and then the maiden...he waved as he watched his Elves lead the horse they had chosen, out of his sight.
~*~*~*~
The two Elves did as they were commanded and removed Legolas' blindfold whence they had reached the road. But when they reached down to undo Moreliniel's, Legolas grabbed their wrists.
"Do not touch her. I shall do it...Now be gone with the both of you! And my the Valar be merciful on you for the evil deed you have chosen to participate in."
Both Elves glanced at each other in fear, then turned and ran into the forest.
Legolas sighed as he removed the blindfold. Moreliniel still slept, and she whimpered in her sleep.
Legolas bent forward and laid a soft kiss onto her forehead.
"Aut, aut!" He coaxed the horse forward.
It wasn't until the palace was in clear sight that Legolas thought on what his father's reaction would be.
Twas not his fault he was forced to her, and Legolas knew his father would be sympathetic towards both of them.
Legolas sighed as he reached the gate, and the guards that stood there jumped up to greet him.
"Prince Legolas! Your father has been worried about you and Lostwathion!"
Legolas' expression soured at the mention of that beast's name.
"Tell him to no longer worry for either of us. I am home, and Lostwathion has betrayed us."
The Elf stopped walking at the side of Legolas' horse, and Legolas stopped and looked down at him.
He held an expression of shock and unbelief.
Legolas' expression softened.
"Go Nevlonnion, tell my father I have arrived, but say naught of anything I have just told you. I wish to speak of it to him myself."
Nevlonnion nodded and ran to obey him.
Legolas rode to the stables and the tall Elf hand that worked there came out to greet him.
"Vedui' Legolas! Do you want me to tend to your horse?"
Legolas smiled faintly.
"Aye, that would help me much Minyadoion." Legolas said and the blonde Elf came to his side.
"What have you there young prince?"
Legolas gently reached down and handed Moreliniel over to Minyadoion so he could dismount.
"Be careful with her...she is my wife."
Minyadoion looked at the prince with a thousand questions at the tip of his tongue, though none would present itself.
Legolas dismounted and took Moreliniel back from the stunned stable hand.
"Take good care of the horse...for it will belong to her."
Minyadoion nodded, and took hold of the rains as he watched Legolas walk away.
Legolas walked into the palace and ignored all the stares that went with him.
Instead of going to his own chambers, he turned down the separate hall in the direction of the chambers his father had long past prepared for Legolas' future wife. In hopes it would help Legolas find one faster.
Thranduil was dead set on having grandchildren before he passed to the Grey Havens.
'Now he will have his chance.' Legolas thought to himself as he opened the door to her new chambers.
He gently laid her upon the massive bed that was her own. It was a dark cherry wood, and was carved and twisted in beautiful designs of trees and flowers.
Legolas had chosen the designs himself...thinking on what his maiden was to like. He hoped that it would suite her.
Legolas had sent for a few maidens to help with Moreliniel, and now they came.
"When she wakes, she will want to bathe...dress her in her finest, preferably something that radiates her eyes, and send word to me that she has awoken. And treat her well, she will live here from now on...and you will be her assigned help."
They all nodded to Legolas.
Legolas turned to the door when he heard approaching feet.
The form of his father appeared and he was not surprised.
"Legolas...tis good to see you lad." His father embraced him, and Legolas thought it a comforting move.
"But tell me...what has brought you to these chambers? I was told you went this way."
Legolas pulled from his fathers embrace, and pulled him out of the room.
"Atar...there is much to tell you."
"I have time Legolas."
Legolas sighed and nodded.
"Let us go somewhere a little more private."
Thranduil did not disagree and followed his son out to a garden.
There, Legolas sat and told him everything.
When he had finished, Thranduil sat in silence.
"Atar? What are you thinking?" At last Thranduil stirred.
"I am thinking Legolas, that this is a grave situation...though I am proud of you for being willing to stick by this maiden."
"I would have it no other way atar...I brought her much pain, and I wish to make amends."
Thranduil placed a hand on his sons shoulder.
"Then I have truly raised you well. Perhaps this will have a happy ending after all."
Legolas smiled. "I hope so atar."
Thranduil smiled.
"Come, our meal shall be ready soon, and I am eager to see my new daughter."
They both stood and walked together back into the palace.
~*~*~*~
When Legolas was in the midst of preparing himself for the dinning feast, there was a soft knock on his door.
When he opened it, he smiled at one of Moreliniel's maidens.
"She has awakened my lord." Legolas nodded.
"How is she coping?"
"Well, she was at much distress when she awoke in the palace....we had to explain much that we did not know ourselves. But she enjoyed the bath immensely, and was reluctant to dress. It took us a while to coax her into her dress, and convince her that it indeed belonged to her."
Legolas chuckled softly.
"Very well, thank you Nutarliwen, I shall be at her chambers shortly to escort her to the dinning halls."
Nutarliwen bowed with a smile and left.
Legolas finished getting himself ready, and then began to walk down the halls towards her chambers.
He found his heart beginning to beat faster.
He could remember her face etched with the pleasures of ecstasy. She was indeed beautiful.
When Legolas arrived to her chambers, he let out a deep breath as he knocked on the door lightly.
Moreliniel froze when she heard the faint knock on the door.
She had went up in a frenzy when the maiden had returned and informed her that Legolas would be by shortly to escort her.
It was enough that she had woken in the palace, and had such a beautiful room and clothing.
But now the realization that she was bound to the prince himself, and was very soon going to meet the king as well, hit her hard with just the faint sound of his knocking.
Immediately, one of the maidens went to the door and opened it.
She bowed and moved aside.
Moreliniel's heartbeat rose as she waited for him to appear from behind the door.
And when he did Morliniel felt her heart stop all together.
He wore a deep blue tunic that radiated his eyes, and lighter blue leggings.
His hair was braided back in the traditional way, and a silver circlet, with a star in the midst, hung on his brow.
Moreliniel thought he looked more like a king then a prince.
And when he smiled at her, she felt her cheeks rush with the color of red, and she glanced down quickly.
When Legolas entered the room and saw her, he felt his breath catch in his throat as he admired her.
He had thought her beautiful before...but now he believed her to be the most gorgeous Elf maiden he had ever set gaze on.
They had indeed done a fine job in finding something that radiated her piercing green eyes.
She wore a dress of a fine green, that went off of her shoulders, showing much skin and cleavage.
It went down fit, and rolled off her fine curves like the grace of a flowing stream. It billowed down to the ground, and her sleeves were almost long enough to match it.
Her dark hair was weaved and designed elegantly up on her head.
Her lips were a luscious red, and her cheeks held the natural tint as well.
Legolas couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips.
His smile widened when he saw her blush and cast her gaze elsewhere.
He cleared his throat and walked towards her.
"Shall we go melamin?"
Moreliniel glanced up quickly at the endearment that came from his mouth.
He had his arm extended, and so she took it. Then he led her out the door, and down the hall in silence.
This was her husband now...and she would serve him, as a wife should till their end days together, and possibly even learn to love him.
And from the looks of him...she didn't think that to be too hard.
