Chapter five: Soldiers and Legolas

I slept restlessly that night. I felt something bad was going to happen today and I did not like it at all. I awoke early in the morning, feeling uneasy. I bathed myself then walked out of the room. It was cold outside; it chilled me to the bone. Something bad was going to happen today, I could feel it in the air. I walked over to the marble fountain in the middle of the elvish front lawn. I peered into the water startled to see both my face and Elladan's. I spun around so I was facing Elladan,

"You gave me a heart attack. What are you doing out so early?" I questioned

"I am always out this early. I could ask you the same thing"

"I could not sleep well. Something bad is going to happen, can you feel it in the air?"

"I can, but I do not know what to make of it. Maybe those elves from Mirkwood have come to capture you"

"I know," I looked down at the ground, "What should I do? I have done no wrong"

"Do not let it trouble you, Lady Rose. Enjoy the wonders of Rivendell and then worry about the elves from Mirkwood when they arrive" Slowly I nodded in understanding. I sat on the edge of the fountain and gasped at the sight that was before me. The water was no longer crystal blue, it was a crispy yellow and the images were of men dying and ford's blazing in the horror of fire. I quickly backed away, feeling the blood drain out of my face,

"D-Did you see that?"

"No I did not. I will see something different when I peer into the crisp water. What you saw was the future or it could be the future. I have known people to have looked into the water and seen images of the past or images that have not yet come true, therefore making them images and only images. Do not tell me of what you saw, keep it in your mind and let no one pry it out of you" In that instant there were sounds of distant hooves,

"They are coming" I whispered fearfully. Elladan looked over at me,

"Go to the gate, do not let them pass into Rivendell" I nodded and quickly walked to the entrance gate. Upon arrival I was met by many elves on shiny white horses,

"Are you Lady Rose?" The one at the front questioned. I nodded slowly,

"Will you come on your own will or will we have to capture you?"

"I will come on my own will," I said sadly, "Where do I sit?" The man moved forward in his seat and indicated behind him. Slowly I turned around and embraced Elladan,

"I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused, tell your father that his welcome was much appreciated. Farewell Elladan" Elladan smiled weakly. He kissed my hand and helped me onto the horse,

"Farewell Lady Rose, your presence will not be forgotten" I smiled and then the man turned his horse around and we rode back to Mirkwood. I knew what fate awaited me in Mirkwood and I was surprised that I hadn't already jumped off the horse. By nightfall we only had two leagues to cover so we rode on into the night. I was fairly tired when we rode into Mirkwood. The man helped me down,

"Do not worry my lady, Prince Legolas is awaiting your arrival" My insides started to work properly again, my joy was raised and all my tiredness disappeared into thin air.

"He is? Where is he?"

"I will lead the way" The man took my arm and then led me into the castle and towards the end of the ground floor,

"Here he is my lady. I will leave you two to enjoy each other's company" I ran into the room and leapt into Legolas's arms,

"No harm is going to come to you, Rose, not with me around"
