Ch. 17




As Serena slept she met with her mother in a dream.

"Isn't their punishment a little harsh?"

"Yes, but they tried to kill my son. I also foresaw that they would betray me, and revive Chaos if I let them be." Serena then looked thoughtful, "has Rini met with?"

"Yes, Radagast has spoken to Rini. She now looks like a pink haired Elf."

"Good, I hope Legolas will forgive me. This is the only way I can keep everyone safe."

"Does Ufag know of your plans?"

"Serena smiled and nodded. "He does, and I'll admit he is a fine actor."

"Indeed I can't believe he played his part as well as he did. Have you spoken with Setavid?"

"Not privately, but he awaits my orders."

"Have you spoken with your soon to be husband's father, and grandfather?"

"Kuso I almost forgot!"

"Then I will not keep you. I will speak with you later Serena."

"Goodbye mother." Serena then woke up, and glanced around the room. "I'm not going to hurt you so come out. I'm sure you have questions Oropher and Thranduil about why I'm pretending to be evil."

"Pretending?" Oropher asked standing from his position on the floor.

"I've been told that you're going to make me a grandfather?" Thranduil asked smiling at Serena's blush.

"Yes, he will be a very powerful warrior, and a great ruler."

"You said you were pretending to be evil why?" Oropher asked sitting next to her on the bed.

"As you have heard Setavid call me I am Cosmos. The Empress of the Universe Setavid was able to easily revive Sauron, and restore his army. So I decided to separate his body and soul. That should keep him from returning."

"So you're making sure he can't return at all. Excellent idea I must say." Oropher told her.

"Thanks so I need for you two to keep away from Setavid."

"We can't do that. Eru let me return to Middle Earth so I could protect you, and the child." Oropher said remembering what Eru told him to do.

Serena sighed and decided to tell them a little more about Setavid.

Legolas

The group was almost at Mordor. Just a few more miles, and they could rescue Serena. One of Legolas' hands moved from Arod's reins, and fingered the Elven betrothal rings. Once he was alone with Serena he would propose.

'Hopefully she'll be in a good mood this time.' Legolas thought. Not wanting a repeat of what happened at their last reunion. He then thought of the child wondering whom it would take after. Knowing for certain that he would love his offspring dearly.

Rivendell

As Elrond walked through the many corridors he saw a flash of brown and pink.

"Radagast! What are you doing here? Rini!"

"Calm down my friend. Serena had me come here. She wanted Rini to have a few Elven traits. Look at her ears."

"You've spoken to Serena?" Elrond asked and looked at Rini's now pointed ears.

"Yes, she is in Mordor. Apparently we were not able to destroy Sauron completely. That is why she left. So he cannot return to destroy other races.

Rini stirred in Radagast's arms, and blinked sleepily. She smiled when she saw Elrond, who picked her up, and carried her to her room.

Gandalf was startled to see Radagast, and the two began talking about all that had occurred.

One of Rivendell's gardens

Galadriel made her way through the garden, and came across a sad looking Arwen. She sat next to her granddaughter, and stroked her hair knowing that she was missing Aragorn, and her friends.

Serena's room

"So let me get this straight. Setavid is not an evil wizard, and he's working for you?" Oropher questioned.

"Yes, I needed his help in infiltrating Sauron's forces." Serena responded and began fingering her brooch.

"So why did Eru wish for us to protect you?"

"I'm not sure. Though I am Cosmos the transformation hasn't taken over completely. I can only foresee a few things."


A knock at the door sent Thranduil, and Oropher diving under her bed.

"Enter" Serena said watching the door open.

Ufag came running in, and out tried to catch his breath. "Legolas, and the others are approaching Baradur!" He spoke wondering how this was going to affect their plans.

"We have no choice we must attack."

"But what would they think if we attack them?"

"We can't worry about that now. I will confront Legolas in battle, and tell him what's going on. That way he can hopefully get the others to leave."

"Very well, I shall ready the horses, and inform Sauron of your plans to attack." Ufag bowed, and shut the door.

"As for you two you'll need disguises." Serena said making a wish on the silver crystal to keep Thranduil and Oropher looking like orcs in Baradur.

Thranduil walked towards her mirror, and gasped in horror. "I LOOK like an ORC!!!"

"Don't worry other Elves, and my friends will still recognize you. So just relax it's not permanent."

The three left the room going to confront their friends saddend that it had come to this. They were surprised to see Sauron there, and a few other Orcs. Sauron smiled at them and they set off to confront Legolas' group together.



End of ch. 17




Whew done! Sorry if it's boring though. I'll try to get ch. 18 done ASAP!

Also I'm going to make Hotaru Elrond and Setsuna's daughter. More of that will be revealed later. As for Sets not knowing much about the future. It's because Serena has become Cosmos, and she can't determine her destiny since it has been altered.

Once again PLEASE READ PROPHECY OF PEACE!! I only got 2 reviews for my first chapter, and my friends told me it's really good.
