-Training-
Saira woke up the next morning to a tray rattling.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you" Elledan said
"No, I need to get up anyway'
"Okay, well I'll leave you to change and eat."
"Diola lle"
He left and Saira got up to change, but did not wear a dress. Plus, if she were going to start training with Legolas, a dress would not be a good choice. She ate quickly and went to find Legolas. She found him waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"Vedui"
"Vedui" he said, "No dress in the presence of royalty" he joked.
"Very funny. You saw me once and you're lucky you saw that at all. Let's go" she grabbed his hand and started walking, but then she realized she didn't know where she was going. He stopped.
"This way" he said tightening the grip on her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction. He led her to one of the many open areas in the forest Elledan had shown her. "Many elves come here to practice."
"So, what's first?" she asked picking up a bow. He quickly took it from her.
"That comes later." He handed her a stick
She looked at him perplexed, "A stick?"
"If you're as bad as you say you are, this is the safest course of action. I don't want you getting hurt"
"Okay. Whatever you say" she agreed knowing how bad she really was
Throughout the day, Legolas taught her the basics. It wasn't easy. Saira wasn't lying when she said she wasn't good at it. But what surprised Saira is that Legolas wouldn't give up no matter how many times she screwed up.
"You know, you're the first person to not give up after 10 minutes." Saira said after they finished for the day
"Well, no offense, but I honestly did not think it would take quite that long" he laughed
"I'm starting to get it. I'm nowhere near beating you, obviously, but one day"
"It'll take awhile but I wont give up."
"So when do I learn how to use this?" Saira said picking up the bow again
"Maybe this summer. This is a bow of the Galadrhim. Galadriel, Lady of Light, gave this to me while I accompanied in the Fellowship."
"Cool, well I have to History of Magic paper I need to write, so I'll see you at dinner"
"Alright, Elledan will call you down when it's ready, unless you'd rather eat in your room"
"You shouldn't have to suffer by yourself. I'll be there"
Saira smiled and headed through the trees to the main part of the forest city that led up to her room. She was really tired from all day training and she noticed just an overall tiredness since she arrived, but she needed to finish her paper. However, she felt dirty and decided to wash up first. When she got back, there was a deep amethyst and silver dress lying on her bed with a note. It read:
"This was her favorite. I hope you like it"
The dress was beautiful and she had no doubts as to who sent it. She hung it up and wrote her paper. After she finished two rolls, she changed into the striking dress. She looked in the mirror. To her surprise, she liked her reflection. She heard knocking at the door
"Milady?"
"Saira, if you don't mind"
"Dinner is ready"
"Diola lle" she said
The footsteps walked away and Saira admired her reflection one more time then headed to the dining hall. Thranduil forced everyone to congregate for dinner meaning usually all the lords and ladies of the city were forced to make an appearance. Tonight there were far less elves despite his stupid decree. Saira took her spot next to Legolas.
"Thanks for the dress" she whispered
"I'm glad you like it"
Dinner went by surprisingly quick. The royals chatted away trying to include her now and then but she was bored by politics and wanted to leave.
"Hey, I'm going to go word on those translations" she whispered to Legolas
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, just a bit too much adult conversation for me. Pretty soon I'll forget I'm 14"
"Well, alright. I'll try to leave and help you. Quel da"
"Quel da"
Saira was happy to get away. She figured they included her because even though she disliked it, she knew many things about the worlds and was very educated. But she craved for a simple chat with her friends. She received many looks from the elves as she walked past but she was used to it by now and just ignored them as she slowly made her way back up to her room.
She changed promptly and decided to write a letter to her friends. However, she ended up sitting there for a long time because she couldn't think of what to write. She would rather tell them everything in person.
Saira gave up that endeavor and worked on the translations instead. This proved much harder than she anticipated and it wasn't long before she fell asleep at her desk. She was half asleep when she felt someone move her but her eyes remained closed as she drifted off.
Her dream was in a familiar land. She found herself walking at the top of Death Mountain. She saw Link at the top about to enter the crater.
"Link?!" she called
He turned
"Saira?!"
"Where are you going?" she said as she ran to him
"The dragon must be killed"
Saira looked at the ground thinking until she saw a flash of a hammer.
"Link, you need a hammer"
She was almost to him. He held out his hand to her but then she heard the rattle of a tray and was pulled out.
"I swear you're my new alarm clock" Saira tried very hard to sound cruel because she was mad at him for taking her out of her dream. She put her hand over her eyes and sat up
"Sorry, It's already 11:00"
"Bloody hell, I was supposed to meet Legolas." She hopped out of bed and Elledan left closing the door behind him. Saira changed magically and ran out where he was waiting.
"Finally awake I see" he said smiling
"Spare me. I overslept a little'
"No matter"
"Well, lets get to it"
'You're quite eager, but we're going to do something a little different today"
"Okay/"
As he did the day before he led her to the clearing. He didn't bring any weapons. It was just them.
"Meditation is a key factor in fighting"
Course, Saira already knew this. That part of fighting she was very good at. But she decided to have fun with the fact that Legolas didn't know this.
"You must be joking" she said
'Why?"
"Meditation? What's it good for?" she asked
"It enhances concentration and awareness to the world around you"
"We're elves. All out senses are already heightened"
Legolas scoffed
"So you want me to do that funky thing with my legs and breathe in intensely until I'm high as a kite because my brain isn't getting enough oxygen" she asked sarcastically
"That is not the only type of meditation"
Saira spent the day purposely screwing up all the meditations she was supposed to be learning for the first time. Course a few she didn't count as meditation but she did them nonetheless. She kept her act up and it resulted in many sarcastic sentences getting Legolas to laugh after awhile.
Saira couldn't help it and when they tried Tai Chi, she burst into laughter. She had moments of composure but soon she had to cover her mouth.
"You know what, I think its about time we call it a day" he said finally giving up
"I supposed you're right" she said still laughing
"Well, I'm sure you know the routine by now. Elledan will get you when dinner's ready. You'll find an excuse to leave when you've heard enough of the royals, as I wish I could. You'll do some work; go to bed and in the morning I'll try again.
"You're very observant Milord" Saira said jokingly
"I'd like to think so"
"See you in a few. I need to get cleaned up" Saira tried to find her way back but only got half way until Legolas had to point her I the right direction again.
Dinner followed just as Legolas had said. Saira ate, found an excuse to leave, did some work and went to bed. And in the morning, it started over again because she was woken by the familiar rattle of her breakfast.
"Diola lle, Elledan'
"You didn't even jump that time"
"Yeah, I guess I'm getting used to this lifestyle"
"So, what's the plan today? Everyone heard how you didn't really take well with meditation"
"Well, actually, I was just giving him a hard time. I'm really quite good at it but it's fun to see him get frustrated." She said putting a robe on
"You're probably the only one that could get away with that"
Saira smiled proudly as she ate her breakfast. Elledan straightened up her room as she did.
"So is this your job or something?" Saira asked trying not to be offensive.
"Kind of"
"How long have you been doing this?"
"Oh, I've been here since before the Prince was born.so quite a long time"
"Wow" Saira didn't know how old Legolas was but she assumed he was at least 500 so that was a long time. Saira's napkin fell off her lap. Both she and Elledan reached for it at the same time and he touched her hand in the process.
It sparked a visions and one Saira wished she hadn't seen. She saw Elledan talking to a group of orcs. He seemed to be commanding them.
"Kill the Prince but spare the girl. Go! Now!"
Her vision followed the orcs to Mirkwood and now it seemed to repeat her previous dream, Serenity was taken and then Legolas came along after fighting his was to her. Then as she had dreamed she jumped in front of Legolas in time to save him from the arrow. Then she saw a new part. Legolas carried Serenity away, and then time seemed to speed up until she saw Elledan walking up to the bodies of the dead orcs. He cursed loudly then there was a flash of light ending her vision and with her falling out of her chair.
"Milady, are you alright? Your eyes became gray and you got these weird expressions on your face" Elledan said, though he seemed pleased.
Saira didn't want to confront him. She knew it was he but he had a few hundred ears of magic experience on her and despite how angry she was she didn't want to find out how much experience.
"Yeah, I have a headache though. That's all. I'll be fine in a few minutes" she lied
"Alright, Miss, I'll see you later then"
"Diola lle" she called as he walked out
Saira changed magically again. Then she ran out of her room as fast as she could. She had to tell Legolas. Her visions had yet to be wrong and he needed to know.
When she saw elves, she walked casually and did not try to make a scene. Legolas was waiting in the clearing. They said their 'vedui's' and Saira tried to remain as normal as possible.
She was sarcasm-free and Legolas definitely seemed to notice. He kept eyeing her as if waiting for her to say something first. He became very suspicious when she was able to do all the meditations flawlessly.
"Alright, that's it" he finally said.
"What? I did it right" she said acting innocent
'That's just it. Yesterday you were completely opposite. You seem off. I can--"
"Feel it" Saira finished for him. "I figured as much. Legolas, I have to tell you something. Something really important, I just don't know how"
"Saira, you can tell me anything--"
"I had a vision" Saira broke in
"What? Just now/'
"No, up in my room" Saira's eyes began to water, "How long have you known Elledan?"
"More years than I can count. Why?" he sat down while Saira paced
"Do you trust him?'
"I suppose so. Saira, what's going on?"
Saira looked at him sadly then rapidly spoke, "I had a visions about him where he commanded the orcs that kidnapped an killed Serenity."
Legolas just sat there for a moment mulling over what she had just said
"Say that again but more slowly"
Saira did
"Elledan" he whispered to himself
"Legolas don't do anything rash" she knew what happened when she was angry because she was right now but she didn't want to know what he would do, "Legolas, stay here"
"Saira, this is my fight to finish" he grabbed her arm as she tried to walk away.
"I'm the one who got killed remember? You should know what happens when Hylians get mad. Let go" she started out loud and ended whispering.
"Saira, I can't let you"
Saira didn't get a chance to retaliate because she fainted.
"Saira!" He picked her up and carried her into the city. "Don't let anyone leave! I don't care who they are!" he yelled to elves that, recognizing him as the Prince, sprinted to spread the message.
Within seconds, everything was locked in. Archers were in the trees watching each crevice and opening. There were swordsman and archers on the ground as well.
Legolas rushed Saira up to her room. As luck would have it, Elledan was there straightening up. Legolas gently lay Saira on her bed. She started fidgeting with a painful expression on her face. Legolas glared at Elledan, his eyes bright with passion. He pulled out his dagger and shoved Elledan against the wall holding it to his throat.
"You!"
"My lord, what have I done?'
"2,000 years and more I have trusted you. What did you do to her?" Legolas yelled
Elledan's act melted away. He realized he was in no position to toy with Legolas so he pulled a vile of black liquid from his shirt pocket.
"What is it?" Legolas yelled
"A Hylian poison"
"What's the antidote?'
"I'm afraid I don't have it with me" he smirked
"What's the antidote?" he asked again pushing the dagger harder again his throat.
"It's a mixture" he said fear coming through is voice
"Of what?!"
"Faery powder, a Hylian Triforce flower, and ." his voice staggered
"And what?" he said pushing even harder
"And you must find on of the Great Faeries of Hyrule to grant you the last ingredients"
"Why did you want Serenity?"
"Legolas!" Lord Thranduil yelled appearing in the doorway
"Why?" Legolas shoved Elledan against the wall
"Legolas! Let him go" Thranduil yelled
Legolas elbowed Elledan across his face knocking him our cold. He fell unconscious to the ground and Legolas stormed out and to his room. Two different elves seized Elledan and carried him away. Saira still lie in the bed wriggling in pain.
Lord Thranduil looked at her then walked out. As he exited the room, he looked up towards his son's room. He was going back and forth.
Legolas was packing some things as fast as he could.
"You can't stop me. I wont let her die again." He said to his father who was standing in the doorway now.
"The chances are slim that she will survive. That is one of the most powerful poisons in all the worlds. Only three people have ever found the Great Faeries. What makes you thin you can find one?"
"I have to try. Saira spoke of one atop Death Mountain. That's a good a place as any to start" he yelled leaving
"Legolas!"
"Just find a way to slow the poisoning, I know she has faery powder. She stashes it for potions." He went to Saira's room first and knelt beside her bed, "Don't leave em again" he whispered. He gently kissed her forehead then ran out and to the stables where he grabbed the fastest horse and rode out of the city.
Saira's room was now guarded but the two best soldiers of Mirkwood/. Lord Thranduil concocted a potion to slow the poisoning but she was still fading fast. Her dreams were nightmares, and painful.
The punishment of Elledan was being delayed because no one really knew what happened because Saira was in no position to tell anyone and she'd only told Legolas.
Saira woke up the next morning to a tray rattling.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you" Elledan said
"No, I need to get up anyway'
"Okay, well I'll leave you to change and eat."
