Those You Love

Revelations

by Celebrian

"My Lady." Legolas bowed as he came face to face with the Queen of Lorien.

Galadriel smiled. "You may have a seat if you wish, Prince Legolas." She started as she sat down herself.

Legolas took a seat. He didn't know whether he should be the one to ask why he was here or if he should just wait until he was spoken to.

Galadriel poured herself some water and then poured some for the Prince. "I know you are wondering why I have called you to Lothlorien..." She spoke slowly.

Legolas nodded, a deep fear running through him as he looked into Galadriel's icy eyes. "Yes. I have been wondering every day since I was notified that you wanted to me come here."

"The world is changing, Legolas. I fear it is for the worse." She said with a bit of sadness in her voice. "Do you know the stories of the One Ring?"

The One Ring.

Yes. Legolas knew the stories of the One Ring all too well. "I know the stories..." He spoke quietly, the thought of the ring made him fear deeper than before.

"A time is coming soon when this world...our world...will face that same threat as it had so long ago. It will only be a mere time before Sauron will try and take back what is his and cover all the land in darkness." Galadriel stopped, looking deep into Legolas' eyes.

"Sauron was destroyed..." Legolas muttered, trying to comprehend all that was being told to him.

"No." The Lady corrected. "Only his physical body was destroyed, his spirit remained. He will be gathering all evil to him once again. The Nine will be released from Minas Morgul...they will hunt the ring until it is found."

Legolas shook his head slowly. He could not believe any of this, but as he thought about it more and more, it began to make some sense. Orc attacks have been more frequent and the dark clouds that gathered over Mordor. "When will this come to be, My Lady?"

"That I have no answer. My mirror only shows me things that it wants to show me. My heart tells me that this war that is brewing is not so far off in the future." She explained, taking a drink of her water.

"Why are you telling me this?" Legolas asked, he didn't mean to sound so rude, but he could not fathom why Galadriel had chosen him to tell all of this.

"There will be a Fellowship of Nine. Four hobbits, one that will carry the ring. Two men, who haven't even been born yet. A dwarf, from House of Fundin. A wizard, who is one of the Istari. And an Elf." She paused looking deeply into Legolas' eyes again, searching his soul. "Prince Legolas of Mirkwood, you will be that Elf."

Legolas' eyes went wide. "Me?" He asked, gripping the chair arms tightly.

Galadriel nodded. "I have chosen you to represent our kin in this coming time of peril. There will be a council held in Rivendell to decide the fate of the ring. I can tell you no more because I do not know anymore." She stood up, walking over to her window and looked outside. "The time is near and I fear this will be unlike anything that we have ever seen."

Lutheriel practically skipped as she walked though the forest of Lorien. She smiled inwardly thinking about her conversation with the March Warden. She didn't expect any of it to turn out the way it had. She hoped that she'd run into her brother to ask him how his first night in Lorien was; though she wasn't sure if she would tell him about meeting Haldir later on tonight for a lesson. "I don't think he'd be to thrilled with that..." She thought, imagining what Legolas would have to say about it. "I'm being so silly. Haldir just wants to give me a lesson in Westron. I must remember that we are not courting each other...This is a simple lesson and nothing more."

She smiled as she saw her brother walking towards her. "Legolas!" She waved, and then dashed over to him. "Good morning brother." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Legolas returned his sister's kiss but it lacked the brotherly love that he usually gave her. "Good morning..." He said as he kept walking.

Lutheriel furrowed her brows and followed her brother. "...did you have a good night in Lorien?" She asked him, hoping that he'd open up to her and tell her what was bothering him.

Legolas stopped and turned to his sister. "I hardly rested all night. And-" He paused, a chill shot through his body as he remembered his meeting with Galadriel. "I spoke with the Lady this morning..."

Lutheriel's eyes widened. "What did she say? Did she tell you why you were summoned here?" She asked with a deep interest.

Her brother shook his head. "Yes." He was unsure if he should tell her; he didn't want to frighten her with the new revelations.

"Legolas?" Lutheriel asked again, pulling her brother to the side. "What did she say?" She asked again.

Legolas knew that his sister knew the story of the One Ring and all the stories that went with it, but he also knew that those stories scared her slightly. Still, he needed to tell her; he could not keep her in the dark about this one. "She told me of events that will be happening soon. The One Ring and Sauron..." He paused, looking into her confused eyes. "Another Age of Darkness is coming. The One Ring has been found and its master is calling it back to him."

Lutheriel covered her hand over her mouth. "How can this be?" Was all she could say.

"Sauron was never destroyed, his spirit remained. Now he is getting stronger and sill soon be looking for what is his." Legolas took a deep breath. "There will be a fellowship that will try and take this Ring to Mordor, into the very fires of Mount Doom, and destroy it for good. I will be a part of this fellowship when the time comes..."

"Why can't you just take the Ring now?" Lutheriel asked. "Before Sauron gets any stronger."

"Galadriel doesn't know who has the Ring, her mirror did not show her that. She just knows that a Hobbit will be the ring bearer. Destiny has been all planned out and now I must just wait until the time comes when it time to fulfill it." He hugged his sister. "I must return to Mirkwood tonight and deliver a message to father. The Lady told me that you are welcome to stay in Lorien for as long as you like."

"I should come with you..." Lutheriel said.

"No. Stay here, you will be protected-"

"Legolas!, I don't want you to travel back to Mirkwood alone. It is a five day journey...don't you remember what we encountered the last time?"

"I will be traveling back home with a group of Lorien sentries. I will be safe." Legolas smiled. "Stay here for a few weeks and I will send escorts for you when you want to return home. Take this chance and stay in Lorien and enjoy it."

Lutheriel didn't want her brother to leave nor did she want to leave these woods herself. "I've been invited to stay...I should, just for a week and then I will return home.." She thought. She looked back at her brother and nodded her head 'yes'. "If you wish me to stay here then I will but I want to come home in one week from today." She told him.

"Of course." Legolas put his arms around his sister. "I must get packed and ready to go, I'll be leaving soon." He told her as they both walked towards his flet.

"I'll help you pack." Lutheriel smiled. "It's a shame that you have to leave so soon, you barely had time to rest."

"I know. I would have loved to stay here longer but I must hurry to father." He looked at his sister and smiled. "So what will you be doing while you are here?"

Lutheriel bit her lower lip gently. "Oh, I don't know." She said shrugging her shoulders. "Probably just enjoying the surroundings."

Legolas nodded and then looked back at his sister. "Just promise me one thing...Please stay away from Haldir. I know the Lord and Lady trust him deeply but he has a hardened heart and I don't want to see you get hurt by him. You can not change people, so please don't try. You'll only end up getting hurt." He warned.
