::Chapter XIII The Mirror, and Reflection ::

It was a week after the dinner. Legolas left his friends to find a place to think. Guilt was taking over him. Legolas find a tree near the archery field. He climbed the tree, and found a perfect branch for him to sit upon.
One part of his mind was telling him to go apologize to Alatariel, the other part was telling him to forget her. A voice interrupted his thoughts.
*~Legolas.~*

Legolas' eyes darted back, and forth," Who is there?"

*~Come down. I desire to speak with you.~*

Legolas climbed down from the tree. He stood there waiting for the owner of the voice to appear.

*~Come into my dwelling~*

Legolas listened to the mysterious voice. It leaded him into Lady Galadriel's dwelling. Lady Galadriel approached him. Tall, white, and fair she walked beneath the trees. She spoke no word, but beckoned him.

Turning aside, she led Legolas toward the southern slopes of the hill of Caras Galadhon, and passing through a high green hedge Legolas came into an enclosed garden. No trees grew there, and it lay open in the sky. The evening star had risen, and was shinning with white fire above the western woods. Down a flight of steps the Lady went into the deep green hollow, through with ran murmuring the sliver stream that issued form the fountain on the hill. At the bottom, upon a low pedestal carved like a branching tree, stood a basin of sliver, wide and shallow, and beside it stood a sliver ewer.

With the water from the stream Galadriel filled the basin to the brim and breathed on it, and when the water was still again she spoke.

"Legolas Greenleaf, you have brought pain to my granddaughter. You know what will happen if you continue this."

Legolas' gaze turned to the ground, ashamed of his actions.
" I have brought you here to gaze at my Mirror. You may look in it if you'd like."

"What will I see?" Asked Legolas.

"Not even the wisest can tell, for the mirror shows many things. Things that were, things that are and some things that have not yet come to pass." Galadriel said as she poured water in the Mirror.

Legolas stepped up to the pedestal, and leaned into the basin. The water looked hard, and dark. Stars were reflected in it.

"I only see the stars." Said Legolas.

Then he gave a low gasp, for the stars disappeared. As if a dark veil had been withdrawn, the Mirror grew gray, and then clear.

A face appeared, it was Alatariel's face. Her face disappeared. Then a new scene to light, an elf, and a she-elf were sitting together. It was himself, and Alatariel!! The time was days ago, before they entered the woods. He was giving Alatariel his pendant.

The picture swirled, and then disappeared. Next, was Alatariel crying in her room. Her arms were on her knees. She kept on repeating the words 'I should have told him.' Over and over again.

The scene went black, and it then showed. A funeral service, Aragorn was there with Arwen. He was comforting her.

"She's dead. I cannot believe my sister is gone." Said Arwen between sobs.

The Hobbits were there; Pippin was being held by Merry. Frodo, and Sam were crying in each other's arms. Elrond's normally clam eyes were filled with pain. Then the scene disappeared.

Legolas stepped back," Is she going to perish?"

"The Mirror shows many things, and not all have yet come to pass. Some never came to be, unless those that behold the visions turn aside from their paths to prevent them. " Answered Galadriel.

"What should I do?" Asked Legolas.

"Do what your heart tells you to. " Replied Galadriel.

Legolas nodded, and turned around to run. He was off to find Alatariel.

'Let's hope he makes the right decision.' Thought Galadriel.

**

Alatariel was in by the archery. She wanted to be alone to think. What could she do? The person she loved, hated her.

'I should have told him sooner. I brought this pain upon myself.'

There was always one thing that made her feel better. singing.

She began to sing softy...

"Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?
I am now

In a world where I

Have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

Someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be

Free to fly

That burns with a need to know

The reason why
Why must we all conceal

What we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me

I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?"
(A/N: I couldn't help myself!! This song just fit perfectly for my story. BTW I don't own Reflection.)

Legolas was still searching for Alatariel when he heard the most beautiful voice singing. He had to find out who belonged to this voice. Legolas followed the voice into the archery range. There he saw.
