Chapter 16: The first meeting.
~*~
Blythe's pov.
I packed a few tunics, underwear, a map of Ennor, a brush with hair ties in my bedroom. Then I rushed down to the kitchens and got enough lembas to last me a lifetime. I would be getting a bottle of miruvour at sunset tomorrow, and the kitchen staff told me to rest and go to bed. For servants they could be quite pushy, but they were great elves.
I ran back upstairs, changed into my pyjamas and crawled under the blankets. My head lay on the pillow and thoughts swam through my head as I tried to fall asleep. Thea's face came to mind, she was happy, she had not been happy in such a long time. She was standing beside Glorfindel, hand in hand. She had found her other. But his was not so. Thea was in a coma! It…I can see the future! Just like my…grandmother. But, huh? I had almost forgot. I had to yet tell her about Thea and I. Wait, hold the phone and call Dominoes! Maybe, just maybe I can tap into her powers, if I have the same power as her, surely it could work.
I sat up and concentrated on nothing but Galadriel. Soon her face came to my mind.
Galadriel's pov.
I sat up in bed, someone was trying to get through to me. I got up and left to my watching glass. I followed the many paths silently. Who could tap into my power? Only those with the same power could do so. It was not Celebrian, she had passed over the seas many years ago and had no need to contact me. It could not be Arwen, she did not care for her power. Simbelmyne was long dead. So who could it be.
I filled up the silver flask from the small waterfall, then poured it into the mirrior. Faces came and went until it stopped on one particular elf. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She reminded me of Simbelmyne, and yet she looked like Simbelmyne's lover. But how could this be so?
Blythe's pov.
Her face was growing closer, and stronger. She had found out that I was summoning her and she was trying to find me. Then, like a trance, I was hooked. She was certainly powerful. I couldn't gain control, then I heard her voice in my head.
"Who are you to challenge the mighty Galadriel?"
I had become as stiff as I rock, and I could barely mumble out: "Blythe C..Ca..Carlaw."
"Blythe Carlaw?"
"Y…yes…daughter of Simbelmyne…your daughter…she lives." I stuttered out.
"Simbelmye! What has become of her! Speak!"
"She lives in Earth, as a scientist for The Queensland government."
"and you say you are her daughter."
"Yes milady. I have an Elder sister also. She Is Thea, but has just been taken to the Grey havens."
"My granddaughters? Impossible! Preposterous! She did not wed!"
"Um, yeah she did, and she did have two girls, one is close to death and the other is to be sent to Mordor to save Ennor." I broke free of her clutches and returned to my room. I looked up at the ceiling. It was still crème, though in the shadows it was much darker. I rolled onto my left side and closed my eyes. Galadriel cannot deny me forever. I am her granddaughter whether she likes it or not.
~*~
I slept through most of the day. Ahh, just like school holidays. I thought about my life back home. I really missed mum and dad. I loved them heaps. I bet they would put on a turn if they knew what I was about to do. Oh, but somebody has to do it.
When I woke up, it would have been about two in the afternoon, but I couldn't sleep all day. I got up and changed into a light flowing pink top and blue leggings. It was a warm spring day, the birds were singing blissfully. If only I could enjoy it, for just a little while. I can't. For the greater good! I marched from my room and down to the dinning hall. I met Philomel and Ilana there. They were eating breakfast/lunch. My tummy was grumbling like a hungry hippo.
"Ah, food!" I said, taking spoonfuls of mashed potatoes and pudding onto my plate, then mushing them together. Philomel looked at me with intrest while Ilana starred horrified. Philomel took a leaf out of my book and tried it.
"This isn't bad!" She said between mouthfuls of the concoction. "Try some 'lana, its good st'ff." she said, offering Ilana some.
"No thanks, I'm watching my weight." Pushing the spoon away from her.
Vala and Linnende walked in, saw the food that Philomel and I were eating and nearly threw up at the sight. "Oh Elbereth! How can you eat that?" Linnende screeched, as she truned a shade of green.
"Well, you get some on a spoon, then put it in your mouth then…." I started.
"Yeah, yeah,we get the picture." Ilana retorted.
Vala sat down and tried to eat a chicken leg, but found it rather difficult.
"Vala? How can you fight and kill orcs n stuff and not be sick, then see what we eat and feel sick?" Philomel asked, shovelling more pudding onto her plate.
"I have no idea Mel." Vala replied, looking at her chicken with the weirdest expression.
Elanor waltzed in and took a seat, looked at me, looked away, then looked again. "Ewww! Are you really going to eat that!"
"No, they have been wasting it. Of course they're eating that crap!" Ilana said.
Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and Gandalf walked in at that very moment and stopped in their tracks.
"Is that pudding and mashed taters?" Gimli asked.
"The very same." I said with a childish smile on my face.
"Gimie! Gimie! Gimie!" Gimli shouted and ran over to the table, grabbed a plate and shovelled some on. He sat there eating, a grin on his face as the concoction went everywhere.
"Say it don't spray it!" I shouted and lightly pushed him. He fell off his seat and onto the ground, still holding the plate of tatudding (that's what I have called it).
Everyone nearly fell over laughing at him. But good old Gimli just kept eating. "We should really plan our road." Aragorn said, sitting down next to Vala, brandishing a map of Ennor. "Now we know we cannot pass through Moria, as the gate has been broken. That leaves Caraharas or The gap of Rohan."
"We cannot pass over the mountain. What if it punishes us like last time?" Legolas asked.
"Alas, last time we crossed the mountain we bore great evil. This time we bare what can end the evil. It may be merciful this time." Gandalf replied. Pointing at the map.
"Can we risk it?" Vala asked.
"We may have no choice, the gap of Rohan may be overridden with uruk-hai. If that is so, we can only take the mountain." Aragorn replied.
"Well, I say we try Caraharas. No doubt the uruk-hai will not dare cross the mountain, they will guard the gap. For them it is safer." I said.
"You have a point Blythe. Well shall we try the mountain. It is spring this time so the challenge will be far lesser." Gandalf said.
"Umm, I have a question. Do we have to walk? I think it would be safer to take horses." Linnende asked.
"Horses would be the safer option, we can cover more ground and it will find to be a safer get away if needed." Aragorn replied.
"Good idea Aza." I said. "I know Astaldo would be upset at me if he missed this adventure."
"Well, there is one problem." Gimli said.
"what is it?" Aragorn asked.
"Well, judging by my luck with horses, do you think it wise for me to ride?" Gimli replied.
"You can double up with me again friend." Legolas stated.
"Good oh!" Gimli shouted. I think he was being sarcastic.
"Umm, well I'm going to need a horse, and so will Elanor." Philomel said.
"I can arrange that." Gandalf said.
"Good, then we are set. Get the rest you can, finish preparing and we shall meet at the stables at 11:30." Aragorn said, rolling up the map and walking off, no doubt to share this remaining time with Arwen and Eldarion.
I left the table in the company of Legolas and we headed for the garden.
~*~
We stood by the same waterfall that Arwen and Aragorn did in the first movie. It was awfully romantic. I looked into his blue eyes, dreaming away.
"Blythe, I do not like that you are about to face this evil, but I am behind you no matter what. Amin mela Lle." Legolas said to me, looking deeply into my eyes.
"Amin mela Lle." I replied. Our faces drew in closer, and his moist lips brushed mine. I knew he was my other. From the moment I met him. Our lips met and we kissed passionately. It was utter bliss.
We spent all afternoon by that waterfall and I enjoyed every moment of it. Who knew when we could do the same again? At sunset, we walked back to the dinning hall, hand in hand, our hearts joined as one.
~*~
At dinner, legolas sat with Gimli, down the table a few places from me. He glanced at me on a regular basis, and smiled, the favour of which I returned. I think Gimli had almost put two and two together. Then Moriwen walked in. She went straight over to Legolas, "to talk". If she dare to make a move on him….
I then, being bold, walked up to Legolas, bumping Moriwen out of the way and kissed him on the cheek. "I hate being separated from you for so long Melamin." I said, sweetly. I don't think he knew what was going on, but Gimli did. He roared with laughter.
"Go lassie! Ha! Go get him!"
"Gimli? What is the meaning of this mellonamin?" Legolas asked Gimli, who was now rolling around on the floor laughing so hard he was red.
"Oh, never mind him Legolas. If you have finished, I must talk with you, privately." Moriwen added, glaring at me. Oh its on!
"Very well, melamin, I shall be back shortly." He said, kissing me on the cheek at letting himself being led away with Moriwen.
I walked over to Gimli and helped him up off the ground. "Gimli, I need your help. I need to get Moriwen back. She has feelings for Legolas, though he and I are..wel…courting." I said.
"I'm listening." He said.
"Well, I need you to sabotage them while they 'speak'.
"Count me in! You can find no better than Gimli son of Gloin to sabotage such things."
"Very good, now off you go, I'll wait here ok?"
"Consider her fried."
Gimli walked off in hot pursuit of Legolas and Moriwen. Meanwhile, I waited nervously back at the table.
~*~
Gimli's pov.
I walked stealthily down the hall, following my friend and that wannabe. I had my best friends intrests at heart of course! I would see him with no other than Blythe. They were a match made in Moria.
The two stopped on a balcony and looked at the stars. I stopped and peered behind a curtain.
"Oh Legolas, how I have missed you." Moriwrench said.
"And I you mellonamin." Legomantic replied.
"It has been too long, your father has wanted to know of you for such a long time, that is why I am here afterall. He wants to know if you are to wed or not."
"Why does he want to know this?"
"He wishes you to marry so that he can sail over to the undying lands. He wants you to become King, and soon, but you cannot do so without first being wed."
"I know, but why can he not have Silmanas (Silver thorn), my brother take over the throne?"
"He cares not for such things."
"And I do! Please, spare me of this, I care not. I will wed when I am ready."
"If you do not wed by next spring, your father will choose you a bride."
"Well, next time you see him, tell my father I have found someone, but we are not ready yet to marry."
"You have?"
"Yes, Blythe. I love her, but we are not ready yet."
"Very well," Moriwen said, swallowing her angst, "I shall pass this news on."
"Diola lle mellonamin." Legolas said, walking away, leaving her behind. I flattened myself against the wall, behind the curtain, trying dreadfully harm not to be seen. Luckily he did not see me. Now I just had to get back to dinner before he did.
Legolas's pov.
I know Moriwen has feelings for me, but she must know I do not have them for her. I love Blythe. She is my spirit, my everything. I will not loose her.
I turned around and headed back to my room for a moment. This was my chance to confess my love for her before all. I would give her my mother's necklace. Yes, that is what I would do. I darted away as fast as I could.
Gimli's povLegolas had turned around! He's heading straight for me! Ah! I darted behind a statue of an elf blowing a trumpet. He ran past without looking back, obviously in quite a hurry. Now was my chance. I ran back to the dinning room and met Blythe there. I was puffing like mad, but I had to tell her.
"Blythe………Legolas……loves……you……and…he…wants…to…marry…you…but…he…has…to…before…next…spring." I finally got it all out.
"Why next spring?" O great, she just had to ask a question, can't she see I'm pooped!
"Because…his…father…wants…to…pass…over…the…sea..."
"Oh!" she sat down in my seat, just when I was about to. Women!
Blythe's pov.
I knew what this meant. He would become King. He told me about this not long after we met. But he can't unless he marries. He chose me! He does love me! But I can't marry yet! What if I'm not ready by then? What if I can't destroy the Dark Queen? Will it be worth breaking his heart?
Legolas's pov.
I raced into my room and opened up the trunk at the base of my bed. I searched through it, trying to find the jewellery box it was kept in. I found the mahogany box, and opened the lid carefully. I drew out the white gold chain, and trailing after it was the pendant in the shape of a star, made from diamonds. My father had given it to my mother when he proclaimed his love for her. After her passing, my father gave it to me, so that one day, I could do the same. Today was that day. I put the box back, closed the trunk and raced off again, with the necklace in my hand. When I reached the dinning hall, I ran over to Blythe, who was talking to Gimli. I am glad the two got on so well, it would make my job a lot easier. I guess by the sounds of their laughing, it means that Gimli approves.
"That is so true Gimmer's." Blythe said, doubling up in laughter.
"Ai, it is lassie, and the best part is…" Gimli started.
"What is the best part my friend?" I asked, woundering what they were laughing about.
"Oh, tis nothing, do not worry your thoughts over what old Gimli says." Gimli replied.
"Very well than, Blythe could you please follow me?" I asked her, she looked so beautiful, even if she was wearing a shirt and leggings. She always looked magnificent.
"Sure, what is it melda?" she asked (Melda means beloved).
"I wish to make an announcement." I said, dragging her up to the stage. Whence we were standing on the stage, the room grew silent and expecting. "I have an announcement I would like to proclaim to all present here. I Legolas Thranduilian, confess my undying love to Blythe, daughter of Simbelmyne of Lorien. I give her this, the necklace of my mother, to bind our love for eternity." I said. Blythe grew red and amazement grew on her face. "Do you accept melamin?" I asked her anxiously.
"Ye. I accept." She said, wrapping her arms around me and kissing me tenderly.
Blythe's pov.
I took a bold approach. I kissed him in front of so many. But I truly did accept, I loved him. He put the necklace around my neck and I moved my hair out of the way. "Melamin? I do not ask that you go to Mordor with me, but I am glad you are. I could not face it all without you." I said, as he took my hand and lead me from the stage. All applauded as we stepped down. Gimli could be heard above all, shouting and whistling.
~*~
After dinner, which ended at about 11, I left Legolas for a moment to get my things together. I walked up to my room in a daze, and a brad smile on my face. I opened my door and picked up my bag, a note fell to the ground as I mounted my bag on my back. I saw it from the corner of my eye and I picked it up. I opened the envelope and took out the letter. It read:
Dear Blythe,
I am glad that it is you who have won the heart of my younger brother. He deserves no better than your lovely self. I approve of this joining and I wish you luck on your up and coming adventure. I now ride to my home, Eryn Lasgalen, in the hopes that I can send an army to protect Imladris from the oncoming evil. I hope to meet you in person someday.
Kindest regards,
Silmanas Thranduilian
I stared in wounder at the letter. I knew legolas had a brother, but had no idea that he was older than Legolas. He seemed really nice, I hoped in return to meet him also. It was a great honour in these lands to be approved of in a joining by an elder sibling, and I felt the honour all round!
~*~
Authors note:
I don't really know if Legolas had any Siblings, as it is not recorded in any of the books. So I made one up. I hope you don't mind. Also, should I do a sequel to purple sky? Like after I'm finished, coz it will be soon. Very soon.
Platy: Yes the time has arisen and we shall set off in chapter 17. yahoo!
Levanna: Do not worry about it! You are loyal, and every one has their off moments. So plz don't fret!
Entwife: Thank you, but stay tuned, coz there is more to come yet.
Oracle: Thank you! I didn't think I was that good. Well thank you! again and again. Coolness. Oh, sorry about the spelling! I'm rushing to get thru these chapters and I think I'm forgetting to check it. Sorry again!
TheSternMystic: Well I had decided not to take any more characters but I think I might change my mind. U see I have been having all these girl characters and I thought I need another guy. Would you consider hooking up with any of the characters in here? (Your character that is) Get back to me.
Sorry this chapter was so long. On Microsoft word its about 7 pages I think. Probably the longest I have ever written!
