Legolas' Point Of View

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As the earth shook around me, Rachael fell forwards. Not knowing what to do, I picked her up and carried her back to her room, and waited until she awoke, which was not until a few hours before dawn.

Rachael's Point Of View

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When I woke up, I saw Legolas sleeping in a chair, and the brightness of the stars outside. I quickly slipped on my hunting clothes, and began to gather my weapons, but I noticed my bow was under Legolas' chair. I crept up to him as silently as I could, but he moved, and woke up.

"Shh! I am leaving now. Don't speak. I gave my powers up in exchange for Scarlet's life, and she will rise with the sun. Pass my message to Frodo, and tell Scarlet I will always think of her, and what has happened. Thank you for helping me Legolas, and for helping Scarlet. I hope you will get a chance to know her better."

I kissed him gently on the cheek, and he looked into my eyes, but I pulled away from his gaze, and headed out the door, whispering "Tell Elrond and Arwen I said goodbye. They will understand. I will take Runya with me, for I will need his strength and spirit where I am to go."

The last Legolas ever saw of me was three figures riding into the rising sun, just as Scarlet came running across the grass. And he knew he would never, ever forget that Ranger who had given up everything for her best friend.

I'm finished! Reviews are appreciated; any flames will be used to toast marshmallows.
