Soul Taker
Chapter Ten: Even Lover's Change
Legolas was amazed that after all their riding, four days and three nights, that he hadn't lost his strength. In the midst of the fourth night did Irisaylia finally stop.
"Is something wrong?" Gandalf asked her.
"Besides the fact that we have not stopped, slept, nor ate and that I am not tired, or hungry?" Gimli grumbled.
"There is no more trail to follow. We must stop, for the Soul Taker has taken refuge in there." Irisaylia pointed south, where the Land of Mordor was, "We will gather out strength for the rest of the night and following day. Tomorrow night, however, we will finally face him."
"Will you come join me by the fire Aylia?" Legolas asked, for Gimli had at once started a fire.
"Indeed I will." She flung herself off of Agarwaen, and sat beside him, snuggling into his body.
Aragorn and Gandalf also sat by the fire, and the five friends were silent.
"I have missed you." Legolas said quietly.
"And I you." Irisaylia whispered.
Legolas pressed a kiss to her soft lips, and they did not talk the rest of the night. He smiled as her eyes glazed over in the strange sleep of the Elves.
During the middle of the night, Legolas found himself 'awakening' and noticed that Irisaylia was not at his side. He sat up, and saw her perched silently on a nearby boulder.
He stood, and approached her. She turned to face him, and he saw that her eyes were filled with worries.
"You have changed melamin." He whispered, and sat beside her.
"That I have. In the time that I have been away from you, I have grown into more of a woman and warrior. My heart did not wish to change, Legolas, but I had to. I had to because of the things going on in our once peaceful world." Irisaylia said in an apolegetic tone.
"I understand, Alyia." Legolas said.
"I heard that the grief was overtaking your body when I was traveling. You thought me dead. Though I cannot blame you." Irisaylia said sadly.
"I had given up hope to ever see you again." Legolas quietly admitted.
"I am not the only one who has changed. The Legolas, I lo-. Well, the Legolas I knew would not have given up so easily." Irisaylia cut off from saying the word 'love'. Never had she spoken those words in front of him.
"I am not the same, after suffering from the blow of your 'death'." Legolas replied.
"And now, it is I that understands Legolas." Irisaylia said, and took his hand into hers.
"I promise to never leave you again." He said softly, his voice like silk.
"And I promise to never leave you." Irisaylia promised, and sealed it with a kiss.
