A/N thank you everyone!! I love you all! No body likes me, everybody
hates, me, guess I'll go eat worms......(I'm sorry! My social studies
teacher is insane, and she gave me a 50% on a packet where I got 38/42
answers correct.....and I have a headache, and I have to try out for the
play tomorrow, and I don't want to.....and my parent have been yelling at
me for the past half an hour, because of that 50 (which was the wrong grade
anyway!).....And*sniffles* I didn't get to see the two towers today, or
last weekend, and my dad keeps saying he'll take me, but he hasn't, and I
just.....*breaks into fits of tears*)
"The prince is here!" The call rang through the streets. The brown-and- white uniformed woman grabbed my elbow and led me out through the courtyard.
"The moment of truth has come, Valiane! Feeling lucky?" said a dark haired elf to my 'nurse', passing us.
Well, I thought, at least I now know her name.
Upon reaching a wide avenue we paused, threading through the throng until we arrived at a dais. Valiane shooed me upon it, telling me to stand straight and smile and for heavens sake-don't play with the pendant!
Before long, I heard the clip clopping of horses' hooves in a slow trot. Two tall men on dapple-gray horses came into view, holding twin banners in white with a dark green leaf emblazed on them.
Directly after them came a pale elf with long gold hair sitting tall on his pure white horse. A murmur ran through the crowd, and I caught the words "the prince!" and "Aurora is perhaps the most fortunate person ever!" and "One of the Mearas, unless my eyes are mistaken!"
They were followed by two rows of horsemen, bearing bows and swords.
The elf on horseback rode until he was nearly at my feet, then dismounted gracefully and bowed.
"Prince Legolas of Mirkwood at your service, Lady Aurora." His face showed nearly no sign of expression, but I could catch the hint of a malicious glint in his eyes.
"And Lady Aurora of...erm..."
"Rivendell!" someone whispered frantically-I was sure it was Valiane.
"Rivendell....at yours." I replied promptly.
"I suppose I will see you at the ball tonight, milady?"
"Of course. I look forward to your presence."
He bowed again and I swept a graceful curtsey. Valiane grabbed my elbow and practically dragged me through the whispering, dismantling crowd.
"Where is your brain, young lady?" she hissed- but not as is she was especially angry. I could tell she was impressed with the prince's good looks.
"Come on, come on-you must take quick nap, to recover your strength for the banquet. Go on, go on!" She shooed me into a daybed below a window. Surprising myself, I fell asleep within seconds.
....I was awake, but somehow not, and my reflection was coming toward me, beckoning. We were still in the chamber in....Rivendell, I remembered, but Valiane had vanished.
The golden haired girl was reaching for her breast-her hand going through her lichen-green tunic and slim body.
Her hand reappeared, holding an icy green mist, and she walked toward me, holding her hand in front of her as if she wanted me to take it.
Her golden hair whipped in an invisible wind; her silver-blue eyes snapped- and she kept coming toward me.
She thrust it at my heart, and I shook my head-but she kept coming,
And i felt her ghostly hand on my chest-
And suddenly knew who she was, and who the prince was, and about Valiane, and who elrond Half-elven was....
But still did not know why I was here-
And she was shaking me, and I was opening my eyes in my chamber in Rivendell....
(A/N..and that was a run on if I ever did see one...()
