-Mirkwood-
Tow days passed so swiftly it felt like just minutes. Soon all Saira's friends were bidding her farewell for the holidays.
"Hope you have fun" Liz said
They were all lined up. Dmitri and Aranel and even Voron were there but mainly with Liz. Harry, Ron and Hermione were too.
"See you when you get back" Ita said in a almost disappointed voice. Apparently Ron had let slip she was going with Legolas.
'Geez, you don't have to be so glum" Saira said to everyone
'C'mon, we better go Saira" Legolas said
"Alright" Saira gave everyone a hug. Ron turned very red when it was his turn.
"I'll miss you" Ita said. He gave her a kiss on the cheek because Saira turned and wouldn't let him kiss her on the lips. She glanced at Legolas who luckily hadn't seen.
"Namaarie"
She walked to her horse and Legolas helped her up. He mounted his own and let Saira say goodbye one last time before they rode off. They rode for a while and Saira felt like she did when she first met Legolas. Eventually they stopped for a break.
"Are we going to go through a portal thing like we did the last time?"
"Yes, but a password isn't necessary for this one" he dismounted and helped Saira down
"Diola lle" -Thank you-
Neither of them talked while they eat and Saira started feeling awkward. Legolas finally said something
"Saira, I've been thinking."
"About?"
"Well, I was thinking we should start to teach you some fighting skills along with your magic"
"Oh, that'd be cool, but I was never good at that. Many have tried to teach me and many more have failed'
"You never know. You should try"
"I didn't say I wasn't going to try, I just thought I should warn you"
He laughed a little
"C'mon, we better go" He got up and Saira packed everything up then he helped her back onto her horse. "We should be in Mirkwood by nightfall"
'Well, then we better get going"
They reached a small forest and stopped at an enormous tree.
"A tree?" Saira asked
"Yes. It will take us to the last Ent"
"Ent?"
"Pretty much they are talking trees. They create forests by tending to the real trees"
"Okay.'
Legolas waved his hand and the tree began to split until a dark black doorway appeared.
"After you?" he said
Saira forced the reluctant horse to go in. Legolas followed close behind.
"It's pitch black in here. I can't see a thing"
"Be patient. Fear will not grant you safe passage," Legolas warned
"Okay"
She continued through the darkness until she finally emerged at the edge of a forest.
"Wow" Saira said
"Welcome to Middle-Earth"
Behind Saira was a lush forest that whispered to her and in front was hills, mountains and beautiful plains.
"It's overwhelming."
Saira said and listened to the trees
"He's coming"
"He's here to see them"
"Treebeard has come"
"Who's Treebeard?" Saira asked
"How-?"
"Trees whisper to each other. They tell you secrets if you just listen"
"You mean you can understand the trees?" Legolas asked
"Only when I want to," Saira said
"You are sure full of surprises. Very few elves as old as I can hear them"
She smiled proudly, "anyway, Treebeard is coming"
"Oh, yes" They guided their horses to face the forest behind them. The doorway they'd come out of had disappeared and a giant Ent stood in it's wake.
"Hello, Prince Legolas"
"Vedui" he bowed on his horse.
"Is this the Seer?"
"None other"
"Galadriel bid me to give this to you" The Ent said to Saira as he handed her a book with his enormous branch hands. However it was not Elven
"What is it?" She asked
"I was informed that it is a legendary Hylian book that should help with your translations"
"Diola lle"
He nodded and left into the forest.
"Shall we?" Legolas asked
Saira nodded. They crossed many fields and soon Saira's eyes began to droop from weariness. She fell asleep on her horse just as they arrived at Mirkwood. Legolas carried her into the city. IT didn't take long before many elves gathered around wanting a look at the Seer.
"Shh. She fell asleep on the journey here" Legolas said as a few asked what had happened
Legolas carried her to a large room in the trees. He laid her on the bed and left closing the door behind him. As he exited, elves congregated around him.
Is she really the Seer?"
"It can't be"
"The Hylian Seer"
"Please, leave me be" he said
Legolas went to his own room and fell lie awake.
Saira felt her eyes become heavy. She fell onto the horse and the last thing she remembered was being carried away before she went into dreamland.
She was walking through a forest city where everything was calm and serene. She walked barefoot marveling at the beauty of it all.
"Serenity!" she turned around recognizing her name. Legolas came jogging up to her. Before she knew what was happening, he was kissing her passionately. She didn't resist.
Dark clouds began covering the sky and a light drizzle fell. It flashed to another moment and she was being dragged away by a band of orcs. Legolas called out and she reached for him, but their hands didn't meet.
In the next instant, she was chained and saw Legolas fighting orcs and goblins to get to her. She was freed and they mounted a horse to escape. They rode hard and fast on a white stallion. The horse jumped and Serenity slipped off the back. Legolas dismounted and took her arm.
Orcs encircled them drawing their bows. They fought with great skill even separated. Far off, Serenity heard the snarl of an orc aimed at Legolas.
"No!" she screamed, running to him
She felt a sharp pain in her back and she jumped in front of him. She fell on him and saw the distraught look on his face. He saw blood running down her side and the faintest shine of the arrow tip coming out.
"No." he said quietly then yelling, "NO!"
Orcs came from every direction but none stood a chance. Serenity fell to the ground as Legolas killed the last Orc. Then he returned to her.
"Serenity!"
He cradled her. Her face had gone pale and her eyes were no longer amethyst, almost gray.
"Serenity, you're going to be okay"
"No, the wound is fatal"
"No"
"Listen to me. I will return. It was foretold" Her breathing became staggered
"Serenity, no! You can't die"
"Legolas, I love you. Death will not stop that. Promise me you will protect her"
"I-I promise"
"I love you"
"I will love you in all forms" he said
Serenity, as Saira, glided her hand down the side of his face, then as he soul departed, dropped lifelessly.
Saira awoke with a start breathing hard and sweat across her forehead. She was confused because she didn't really remember where she was.
"Lucky soul" she said to herself, "Legolas loves you and kisses you passionately. If you're so old and wise, why don't you help me out once in awhile"
Saira got out of bed and kept remembering the kiss because in her dream, that had been her, and she almost hated how much she wished it really was. She walked to the window. This was no ordinary city like in Hyrule or Earth. Everything was part of the trees. Stairs wound around leading to homes and halls in between. Everything she saw seemed to glow with an unnatural light.
She looked down and a flash of her dream came back. This is where Serenity was walking and where she had been taken. Saira heard footsteps but didn't move or look to see who it was
"Ah, finally awake" It wasn't Legolas
"Who are you?" She said turning around to see another tall blonde elf. His was thinner than most from top to bottom. He was also paler than most elves she'd met.
"The Prince asked me to check on you and bring oyu some breakfast." Saira saw the tray of food in his hands
"Diola lle" -Thank you-
"Ah, so you speak Elvish. Everyone was curious what language you spoke" he said as he set the tray down on the small table in her room.
"What's your name?"
"Elledan"
"Is it a shock that I know Elvish?"
"You're a Hylian elf and we have not contacted them for many centuries. Back when we did, they mainly spoke Hylian because they were from Hylia and-"
"Hyrule"
"Oh, sorry. They expected you to be the same way"
"I know quite a few languages actually." She started counting on her fingers, "Old and modern Hylian, Italian, French, and Elvish. Anyway."
"The Prince asked me to show you around. He'll be occupied for most of the day." Saira hadn't moved from the window. She was still admiring the view. "Miss Trinity, aren't you hungry?" he said almost insistently
"Yes, it's just that the view is amazing"
"You can see it close up soon. I'll be downstairs when you are ready, milady"
Saira nodded smiling happily. She could get used to this kind of life. People treated her with respect and didn't shudder at the fact that she was a Seer. After Elledan left, Saira walked away from the window and ate the food left for her. She hadn't eaten since the day before when they had stopped.
She didn't see her bag anywhere but there was an eccentrically designed dresser against the opposite wall. She opened it and saw all of the belongings she brought perfectly put away. There were also many others, outfits and dresses in her size. However, she was not a dress or skirt person and picked slacks and a blouse. She hated the school uniforms because they were skirts but she wasn't there now.
She fixed up a little using magic to make it go quicker, then she headed downstairs where Elledan was waiting for her leaning against the rail
"Vedui" she said
"Vedui, lle desiel" -Are you ready? -Everyone spoke Elvish around here, which Saira loved.
"Uma" -Yes-
Everywhere they went elves whispered and stared at Saira. She also noticed that she was the only Elf wearing pants. Saira barely listened to Elledan as he told her about certain buildings as the hours dragged on. True the city was exquisite but he didn't let her go inside any buildings. He showed her where a crystal clear pool was with enchanted water that was always the perfect temperature. Saira wanted nothing more than to take a swim but he told her no.
Many hours later, he took her back to her room.
"I recommend changing into something more formal for dinner" he said as he was leaving
"Why?"
"Well, you'll be in the presence of Lord Thranduil"
"I've been in the presence if royalty plenty of times but I've never had to dress up for them"
"It's traditional and respectful. What can I say?"
Saira looked in the mirror after he left. As elf looks go, she was not conventional. She wore casual attire and always wore her hair simply. She sighed deeply then went to her new dresser and opened it. She decided she better change. She was in a different world and should get used to their ways.
Unfortunately there were no dresses she liked considerably more than the others. He also liked dresses that matched her eyes but there none of those either. She could easily change the color of her eyes with a spell but she was proud of them and chose a silver and black dress instead. She changed in the nick of time because Elledan knocked on the door to say dinner was ready
"I'm coming, but certainly not in comfort" she said hearing him laugh
"I'll escort you when you are ready"
Saira opened the door startling Elledan
"I'm ready" Saira muttered a spell to herself and her hair began fixing itself into an elaborate style. She muttered another one that made up her face. She looked like a princess herself now.
"This is certainly a change"
"I am definitely not a dress person" Saira said squirming in discomfort
"You look fine. Everyone is waiting. Come"
Saira followed him down the stairs and they went a short ways before he led her up a small flight of stairs leading to a grand hall with a huge arch as you walk in. Elledan opened the large doors and light poured on Saira like a spotlight. The entire hall of elves went silent as they caught sight of her. Saira felt awkward as she strides in. her heart lifted at the sight of Legolas at the front. He walked up to her and held out his arm.
"Vedui" she said taking his arm. He nodded to Elledan who bowed and backed away.
"You look beautiful. I never thought I'd see you dress up," he whispered guiding her to the front table
"Thank you. I don't exactly like the dress but they said I should wear it"
"For what it's worth, you look wonderful"
Saira's light face turned pink. Legolas had a chair next to him at the front for her. She was the guest of honor.
"Did you enjoy yourself today?" Legolas asked when dinner started
"yes, it was lovely"
"Tomorrow, I wont have anything to do, so."
"I take it you want to start teaching me"
"If you'd like"
"Certainly." She smiled, "So, why'd everyone get so quiet when I came in? I mean, back in Hyrule, everyone knew I was a Seer and they tended to scatter"
"Don't take this the wrong way, but Hyrule is much less farther along than the other worlds and a bit behind on the times. To have a real Seer in our midst is extraordinary.
Saira wanted to respond but the Elf on the other side of Legolas tapped his glass. Saira assumed it was Lord Thranduil, Legolas' father. He looked very little like Legolas despite their relation. His hair was about the only similarity. His eyes were brown rather than blue and he had a more ancient look about him.
"Welcome friends to my court and this fine banquet to honor the temporary return of my son. We also have a guest here tonight. Alatariel Trinity of Hyrule"
Gasps and whispers filled the room even though many already knew it was she. A quiet applause also joined the whispers.
"They will be leaving in a few days time, but I hope we can make their stay enjoyable"
Dinner was superb and Saira liked eating Elvish food again. The overall taste just made her feel at home. When dinner was over, Legolas took Saira to meet Lord Thranduil.
"Father, I'd like to formally introduce you to our guest."
He seemed shocked at the sight of her
"My, she looks so much like.Well, I'm amazed. It's such an honor to meet you, Alatariel Trinity"
"Please, call me Saira. I prefer my Hylian name"
"Very well. I hope your stay with us is agreeable" He bowed and went to talk to some other elves.
"So that's your father?" Saira asked Legolas
"Yes. He's a noble Elf."
"It's getting late. Plus, I'm sick of this dress"
"Alright. I'll take you back"
Saira nearly tripped on her dress climbing the stairs to her room. When they reached her room, Saira debated with herself whether she should tell Legolas about her dream but she didn't want to ruin a good evening and decided against it.
"Quel da" -Good night-
"Quel da"
He closed the door behind him and left Saira to listen to the trees. Soon she grew weary of that and changed into something more comfortable before falling asleep.
"She's practically the mirror image of Serenity" Lord Thranduil said to Legolas
"I know" he responded
"She's the prophesized one. She will find the treasure. She will save the worlds'
"I know. She's an extraordinary girl"
"Girl?"
"I'm going to go. I start working with Saira tomorrow"
"Alright"
"Legolas bowed and left thinking about what his father said.
It's so weird with Saira gone" Liz said finishing up her homework in the courtyard with Ita.
"Yeah, she's only been gone for a day and I already miss her" Ita replied
"Well, it's late, and we better get back before Filch gives us both a detention."
"Yeah" They got up and opened a doorway in the water wall.
They returned to the common room. Liz went to her room and fell asleep without thinking twice. Ita laid awake thinking about Saira. He really cared about her, but he felt that she did not return his care. Sire she cared about him, but deep down he knew her heart belonged to another, which he hated to admit. Ita fell asleep with that last thought haunting him.
Tow days passed so swiftly it felt like just minutes. Soon all Saira's friends were bidding her farewell for the holidays.
"Hope you have fun" Liz said
They were all lined up. Dmitri and Aranel and even Voron were there but mainly with Liz. Harry, Ron and Hermione were too.
