Chapter 12: Visions
For two days, Legolas had been visiting Lenae. Bringing her food and talking to her about anything and everything. That day was no different, Legolas had left almost two hours ago but Lenae was still staring at the place where he used to sit.
' Why do I feel better when he is near? Why do I long for his presence when he leaves? What is happening to me? I don't understand! ' trying hard to understand everything, Lenae suddenly remembered something Galadriel told her when she confronted her the night the fellowship first arrived at Lothlorien.
' You are feeling so many emotions . . . . sadness, confusions worry and maybe even love '
' Love! . . . maybe she was right . . . but is this love? Am I falling for Legolas? ' she questioned herself ' Legolas!!!! ' she sighed and smiled ' I am in love! ' she stated firmly.

The 2 days of complete rest did wonders for Lenae, gone were all the scars on her face and body, her full strength and powers had returned. And no one can be more happier than Legolas for he felt proud that he had helped Lenae in someway in her recovery. And every time Legolas would go back to the city after his visit, he would have a big smile on his face. The fellowship never questioned him as to where he would disappear everyday or why he smiles whenever he returns, they just accepted it for they know that when they leave Lorien the things that made him happy would be left behind never to be enjoyed again. But nevertheless there was much speculation as to what made him happy. The hobbits said that it was the trees for when they first arrive he would not stop talking about it. Gimli said that it was about archery, for Lorien elves were known to be most skillful and probably he was getting training and joining border patrols with the elite guards. But Aragorn remained silent for he had some clue. He can see it in Legolas' eyes. Legolas was in love, he was both happy and sad for the prince. Happy, because Legolas was able to experience the joys of loving and being loved by someone and sad because he did not want Legolas to experience the pain felt when leaving someone you love with all your heart behind.

' My shadow . . . my dark shadow . . . . come to me! ' a voice called out
' Who are you? ' Lenae answered. Everything around her was so dark that she could not see and somehow the darkness felt evil.
' Elea ie dome ' (night sight) she quickly muttered. As she began to see through the darkness . . . . she found out that she was on a very high mountain . . . as everything got more clearer . . . . ' Pilin en templa ' (magic arrow) she cried out
' No weapons of yours can defeat me shadow! ' the eye of Sauron, which was now towering before her, telepathically told her.
Letting her arrow fly, she watched it disintegrate before it even reached the eye.
' I have already told you shadow, but you did not listen ' said the eye. Then it sent a burst of power at Lenae, which sent her flying back into the mountainside.
' Now listen well shadow! I want you to join forces with me, your powers will become greater than what you have now, you will become the greatest warrior in the whole world, you could even kill that witch Galadriel and most importantly you can have the power to make that prince yours for eternity. '
' Never! ' Lenae shouted as she stood up
The eye laughed . . . ' I think this will convince you Helkaer (icy one) ' it said
Another strong blast of power struck Lenae forcing her this time to the ground. She then let out a blood-curling scream, for what she saw scared her to her bones.
Aragorn lay dead, his body cut into several pieces. Gimli's head was cut off and was pierced with a spear, which was then stuck in a tree. The hobbits, they were hanged and they were being feasted by goblins. And Legolas . . . . her beloved Legolas . . . his body was riddled with arrows tainted with poison, his right arm cut off and then he was chained into the dark pit of the mines of Moria where Gandalf fell to his death.
Not only was she able to see this, but she was also able to smell the blood, the decaying flesh, the cries of the hobbits as their bodies where being ripped off and lastly the screams of Legolas before he took his last breath.
' Come to me shadow! If you refuse me, the things that you saw and heard will come true . . . . come to me, I will wait for you Aratoamin (my champion) ' the eye then faded away
Waking up, Lenae immediately got into a sitting position, she tried to pace her breathing because she was gasping for air. She thought all of it was just a dream but when she looked down, she saw her hands covered with blood and the smell was like the smell in her dream. Her body then began to shake violently . . . . For the first time in her life she began to panic because for the very first time she felt helpless.

That night Galadriel called Frodo to look at the mirror which show ones past, present or future. The other reason why she called him was to test her self if she could refuse the call of the one ring. Everything went according to her plans. Frodo was able to see his into his future of what may happen if Sauron got the ring, and it also showed him that he alone can do task at hand. And Galadriel was also able to refuse the call of the one ring.
Up on a talan above the place where Galadriel had Frodo, Lord Celebron stood by the window watching. He did not like what Galadriel was doing, she did not inform Lenae about her plans and if Lenae found out terrible things would surely happen. So when Celebron saw Frodo walking down the steps he expected Lenae to appear, but she did not. And even after she still did not appear. This made Celebron worried . . . . he knew that no matter what as long as Lenae's protected was in some kind of danger she would appear. Seeing that Frodo was leaving, he too began leaving the Talan. He knew that something had happened to Lenae and he personally would find out to what it was. On his way down, he met up with Haldir. It seems that the guard too was watching the events and was concerned that Lenae did not show up. As both of them made their way to the outskirts of the city, both of them were silently praying to the Gods that she be alright.
For two days, Legolas had been visiting Lenae. Bringing her food and talking to her about anything and everything. That day was no different, Legolas had left almost two hours ago but Lenae was still staring at the place where he used to sit.
