Arwen sat with Legolas and waited. He was growing impatient and she was growing impatient with his impatience.
"Calm down my friend." She told him finally. "She will be alright."
"I am sorry." Legolas replied.
"You love her still?"
"I wonder." Legolas replied.
"It is normal I suppose, to want what you can no longer have."
"It is not normal to long for another's wife."
"Indeed it is not."
Legolas went back to pacing when a chambermaid of the palace came out to greet them.
"The Lady bids you come and speak with her."
Arwen and Legolas followed her to Galadriel's main chamber. The Lady of Light greeted them and spoke. "There is much that you must know."
Legolas and Arwen exchanged a glance. "Long ago, I spoke with Haldir. I told him that his love for Kayla was his destiny. It was his duty to protect her and when the time had come he could prevent her from making a decision that would end her life. He was true to his destiny and the end result is one that I had foreseen many years ago when Kayla first sought refuge in Lothlorien." She spoke not looking at them but off into space. She directed her attention to Arwen. "Kayla realizes her mistakes in dealing with these new evils that invade your lands. The warrior that has left her in such critical position is not one of great skill, but one of great history. Kayla could have easily killed this young woman, but because of the emotional bond that they had once shared she could not."
"Who is this woman. What tie does she share with Kayla?'
Legolas stood quietly. As the Lady spoke again, "This is unsettling news indeed, the warrior Amara is the rightful heir to the throne of Gondor."
"What?"
"She is your daughter."
Arwen looked at Legolas and returned her gaze to Galadriel. "How can this be?"
"She was taken from you long ago. She was raised as a mortal human woman. The enemy has filled her mind with hatred against Aragorn and the elven race. Kayla has told her of her origins and she is quick to use it against the throne. No harm will come to her as long as people believe she is the heir, even if she is skeptical to believe it herself."
Arwen felt sick and took her leave. Legolas went to go after her but Galadriel stopped him. "The battles in Gondor are in no way greater that the battle you engage with yourself. Your heart is conflicted and her feelings for you remain constant. Indeed you both are smart to disregard your feelings but this can not remain forever. The longing inside you heart will eventually kill you both."
"What shall I do? Confess my love to a woman who is caught in her responsibilities of motherhood, a woman who has expressed to me her love for another?"
"Take my words to heart and keep them there. The longing in your hearts will kill you both."
Legolas left the chamber confused. He decided that it would be best if Kayla did not know.

Tariel and Tauros wandered in the forest their bows in hand. They practiced often together and helped each other to advance their skills. "Have you seen your mother yet?"
"No, no one has been permitted to see her yet. The Lady is still with her."
"It is exciting that in 18 years this is the first time we have bee allowed to travel out side of the kingdom." Tauros replied taking aim and releasing his bow through the air it hit the ground several yards away.
"To elven lands no less." She replied.
"Indeed, Gondor is dangerous in these times."
"Indeed. But I still would have wished to stay with my father."
"And do what?' Tauros scoffed.
"Kill the warrior that has injured my mother. If she is taken from me, there will be no mercy for the one who has caused it." Tariel spoke with fire in her words.
Arien snuck up on them. "Will you two stop training for just a second. Or is that the cover that u elect to use?"
"If you were not the heir I would put a hole in you." Tariel said.
"So I have immunity and besides mother sent me to come get you. Your mother is awake."
Tariel followed her back through the woods back to the palace.

Kayla was aware of everything around her but her eyes refused to open. This was the worst part of elven healing. It left her weak. She could hear people moving around her. Sudden her daughter's voice became audible.
"Where is she? IS something wrong?"
"Tariel." Kayla called.
Tariel turned walked in to find her mother in a weakened state. "Mother? Are you alright?"
"I am fine. Thankfully we got here in time." Kayla replied. "If you are ever to become a warrior, never get hurt elven healing is long tedious and drains the body."
"I can promise nothing." Tariel replied.
"Where are the others?" Kayla asked.
"The others or Prince Legolas?" Tariel raised an eyebrow.
"You are making a bold suggestion daughter." Kayla scolded.
"I see the way he looks at you and you to him." Tariel replied. "I do not doubt you share his feelings but restrain yourself out of respect for father."
"I love your father." Kayla replied.
"I do not doubt this." Tariel replied leaving the room to get Legolas.
Kayla was alarmed by the sudden silence. "Tariel says that you wished to speak to me."
Kayla lay listening to how he stood far from the bed. "Why do you stand so far away?" she asked.
"The Lady has given me news that I find unsettling." Legolas. She has sent me to Gondor to retrieve Haldir for she has a message to share with him as well."
"You are leaving?' She asked.
" I am afraid that I must. You and the Lady Arwen are safe here with the children." He said to her.
"I suppose." She replied.
He turned and left and she sighed. Something was different in him.
A/N: Ok this is my third chapter in the past two days. Some one review. LoL I like the story. It's taking a few weird turns I know but I promise it's going to get better.
