Chapter 5: I Need You
A/N: Wow, it sure has been a while since I've updated. Sorry. I've just been really bogged down with stuff and updating just wasn't fitting into me schedule. Well, enough of my excuses. Oh, and this isn't really a chapter per se but I just wanted to update. So…enjoy if you can.
Disclaimer: I own Lirael. Everything else belongs to my god, Tolkien.
"Do you remember that day, Lirael?" Haldir managed to choke out in between sobs. "The days when before we realized we needed each other? Lirael, mela en' coiamin, I still need you. Don't leave me…I need you."
The last part came out almost as a whisper. Emotions swirled inside of him like never before.
"Haldir, melamin," Lirael sobbed. "You are strong; you do not need me."
"Do not say that! I love you, Lirael, more than you will ever know. Please…don't leave me again."
"I will leave when it is my time, Haldir. No sooner, and no later." She coughed and her body shook violently. "Aratoamin, finish the tale before my time has come."
He smiled at the mention of his old nickname. Before the war, the war that would claim the life of his lover and himself. "As you wish, my lady."
Translations:
Mela en' coiamin: Love of my life
Melamin: My love
Arataomin: My champion
A/N: *Gags* Gogh, that was bad. So very, very bad. But that's all I'm typing for right now as I have work to do. *Mumbles about unfair World History teacher* Anyway, please, please, please review and let me know what you think of this little thingy (for lack of better word).
Oh, and FYI, the only fics I will currently be working on will be this one and Lle Holma Ve' Edan. The next chapters will be up in the next couple of weeks, I promise.
And the translations came from a website I stumbled upon. www.greycompany.org
