A Note: Some of you might fid it strange how Serenity it "tracing" Lego-chan's face. Well, look at it this way, she's never seen an "Earthling" before, so she's fascinated by him. Haven't any of you been so fascinated by something that you just *have* to touch it? For those of you who watch Inuyasha, it's kinda like how Kagome was fascinated by Inuyasha's ears and just *had* to touch them.
Oh yes, another note: The elvish and "Lunarian" is *very* rough. In otherwords, I translated them to the best of my ability but it probably won't make sense to those who know it very well. I just basically strung words together to give a rough meaning.
Tomorrow's Eternity
Chapter 4
"...elf?" Legolas blinked. He didn't understand the rest of the question, and almost didn't catch the one familiar word she spoke, due to her strange accent. However, he was pretty sure that she had said elf...she was asking him if he was an elf. 'How strange...' Everyone knew elves were the only ones with pointed ears and sun-bleached hair along with their height and fair complexion. So why didn't she? For the hundredth time, Legolas cought himself wondering who she was...what she was. He was having doubts that she was human now, and the crescent moon insigna on her forhead reminded him of something...but he didn't know what.
"Kikoushi wa elf?" Serenity persisted, lightly tracing Legolas' ear in fascination. She was talking to a being of Middle-earth!
Legolas blushed little, and he had to supress a shudder as she lightly touched his highly sensitive ears. Shivers ran up and down his spine as he nodded. "Yes, I am an elf."
Serenity blushed and hurridly withdrew her hand as she felt a slight tremor pass through Legolas' body. 'Oh, I'm so rude!' the princess part of her wailed in dismay. Her other, more childish side snorted silently and replied, 'Oh shut-up! It's not like we're in court or anything.' (AN: This kinda sounds like Serenity has a split personality...-.-;;. Don't worry, she doesn't. It's just that, well, how would *you*act if you'd been trained to be prim and proper all of your life?) Still, Serenity stared fixedly at the ground in shame. She really shouldn't have done what she did. Who knows what this Elf would think about Lunarians now? 'Ohhh...and I wanted to make a good impression too! Wait a minute...does he even know what a Lunarian is?' Serenity's eyes widened at that thought. There was a good chance that the Elf did not know about her race, or about any of the other planetary races. She seemed to recall her senshi of Mercury saying something about them being just legends of Middle Earth. 'That means I still have a chance to give him a good impression!'
Serenity's mood brightened and she looked up at the confused elf. Smiliny brightly, she pointed to herself and chirped, "Watashi was Serenity, desu!" [I am Serenity.]
Legolas blinked in confusion. He had been watching the petite girl for the last few seconds as she seemed to have an inner conflict. I caught him quite by surprise when she had suddenly looked up and said a few words rapidly in her unknown language. "Mani? Amin gorga amin uuma rangwa lle." [What? I am afraid I do not understand you.]
Serenity huffed in annoyace and pointed at herself. "Se-re-ni-ty." She said slowly, hoping that the Elvin prince would catch her meaning.
"Serenity?" Legolas questioned, pointing to her.
"Hai!" [Yes!] Serenity nodded her head and smiled. "Anata wa?" [You are?] she asked, pointing to Legolas in return.
"Legolas." The Mirkwood Prince replied, pointing at himself.
"Le-gu-lessu." Serenity repeated slowly. Her eyebrow creased a little when she found that she couldn't quite repeat his name correctly. "Le-gu-lessu?"
Legolas chuckled quietly in amusement before repeating his name slowly, "Le-go-las."
"Lee-go-laas...Lego-las...Legolas? Legolas!" the Moon Princess cried out in delight when she finally pronounced Legolas' name correctly.
"Uma, Legolas." [Yes, Legolas.] Legolas nodded.
"Yatta!" [I did it/yes very enthusastically] Serenity cheered. She hugged the stunned Elf for a brief second before letting go and beaming up at him happily. "Hajimashita, Legolas-san!" [Nice to meet you, Legolas] She chirped, touching her crescent moon insigana and bowing her head in the Royal Lunarian way of greeting.
Legolas got a feeling that Serenity was greeting him so he went into an elegant bow and replied, "Ta aa saesa omentien lle, arwen Serenity." [It is a pleasure meeting you, Lady Serenity.]
Serenity giggled slightly, a rosy blush creeping onto her face. "Saa saa, onegai shimashta, okiru, Legolas-san." [Please get up, Legolas] She said, mentioning with her hands what she wanted of the elfin prince. She finally looked around herself, studing it intently for the first time after meeting Legolas. "Wau," she breathed out in awe, "kirei..." [Wow..pretty] She looked up into the sky, closed her eyes, and spun around in delight while hugging herself and breathing in the scents of the forest. She looked back at Legolas for a split second saying, "Kuru!" [Come on!] and then she spun around, running further into the forest, eagerly drinking in her surroundings.
Legolas, who had long since straightened from his formal bow, watched Serenity with a mixture of amusement and puzzlement in his eyes. She looked so much like a young child, spinning around in the sunlight like she did. And yet...she acted almost as if she'd never seen the forest before. But that wasn't possible...right? With a sigh, he shook his head and prepared to follow the Lunarian. Human or not, there were still dangerous things in the woods that could and would harm her. Even though she wore a sword, Legolas could not, in good conscience, leave her out here alone. Grabbing his bow, he took off after the Moon princess, who had had quite a head start. However, as Serenity would soon find out, nothing could outrun an elf.
::sigh:: Short, I know. ::ducking various flying objects thrown by the readers:: Hey, hey! Take it ease! If you kill me, who's gonna write the story, huh? Besides, it's better to have a short chapter than no chapter at all, isn't it?
