AN: The song mentioned in this chapter is "Take a Picture" by Filter. No
one is singing it in the chapter. It's just there to add color.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for a handful of made up characters. Tolkien thought up the concept and, as such, it belongs to him. I'm just playing in his world. I'm broke and in college. All I own are Pointe Shoes.
Emma followed Legolas's lead, staring into the basin. She was unsure, though, of what was suppose to happen next.
She was shocked when an image appeared in the water of the basin. She could not place the image but Legolas could. He knew the image very well.
It was the day his mother had passed.
*Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bear
My skin is theirs*
That image was replaced, moments later, by a more recent image. Legolas saw his father sitting on his throne talking to a woman who looked remarkably like his mother. He recognized the woman as one of his mother's handmaidens.
*Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs*
He saw his father and this woman grow closer and closer over time. Throwing his hands over Emma's eyes, Legolas saw the two of them in bed together.
*I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real*
He watched as his father sent to woman and her family away. From what he gathered, they were to go to the Gray Havens and sail west.
*Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Yeah*
As Legolas watched the group leave, he understood his father's reasoning for making them leave. The elven woman was pregnant with his father's child.
*I don't believe in
I don't believe in
In your sanctity
Your privacy*
He saw the group undertake the long journey from Mirkwood to the Gray Havens, slowed by the woman's condition.
*I don't believe in
I don't believe in
Sanctity
A hypocrisy*
They group never made it across the sea. They were attacked by a wandering band of orcs, and were all killed. The imaged moved to the woman, lying in the high underbrush.
*Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyone agree that
They should not be left alone yeah*
From what he could see, the woman had just given birth. She silenced the bawling elfling and hid it in a very large flowering bush. She was discovered soon after and killed.
*And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming*
Sometime later, a red haired man wearing a odd looking robe passed through the area. He buried the dead and discovered the child in the bush. Pulling out a small stick, he transformed a rock and a large leaf into a blanket and basket.
*Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Yeah*
He watched as the man opened some kind of light filled area in a tree and take the child through this area.
*Hey dad what do you think about your son now
Ah hey dad what do you think about your son now*
The image of the armored woman appeared in the mirror just before it went dark.
*Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Yeah*
