Sorry about the delay with the updates. School has been hectic. But thanx
for the reviews, I love getting them. I do not own Legolas (darn)
Just for fun Lilly decided to run instead of walk to where Legolas and Théoden were. So she stopped and counted to three and when she hit three she was off like a flash down the corridors. The coulombs supporting the palace were about five feet apart so as Lilly streaked down the corridor the light played softly over her body. It illuminated her gown and she seemed to glow in the rays of the suns first light. The sun caught her hair and to any onlooker it seemed to be as if on fire for that was the natural color of her hair, it was a deep rich red color that shown like the setting sun if caught at the right time. Her face lit up with the energy and emotion, the playfulness and the love, the spark and the fire also came back to it but it mostly reflected in her eyes. The pure joy of being alive looking forward to a new day brightened her spirits and added a new spring in her step. She stopped as she neared the Great Hall, and looking around she spotted Legolas and Théoden deep in conversation out on the balcony. So as she approached them Legolas looked up at hearing Lilly's soft footsteps, but seeing her panting and out of breath he thought something was wrong. But Lilly, seeing Legolas' concern put up a hand to signal that she was ok. "I was merely stretching my legs." At this Théoden turned. "You never stay put for long do you Lilly?" "Not while there are long hallways and new days to meet." "We were just discussing you as a matter of fact. Tell me Lilly would you rather return to Rivendell today or stay a while and rest?" "I would prefer to return today, not that I wouldn't love to stay." She added quickly. "But my father has dream-spoken to me saying he did not know where I was." The look that Lilly received from Théoden told her that he had no idea what she was talking about. "Dream-speaking is one of the ways that my father can talk to me. And the dream that I received was he could not find me and did not know where I was." "That is strange, because I sent a messenger to Rivendell to tell your father that you had been found and were staying here." "He may have been attacked." Legolas put in. Théoden shook his head showing that he did not agree with him but put that aside for the moment. "In that case it would be better that you leave now so as not to worry your father further, Hamar." "Yes your highness." Replied a middle-aged gentleman that had been standing near so as to aid the king. "See that Lady Lillyana and Prince Legolas get some provisions and a horse for Lady Lillyana for their journey." "If you would excuse my lord I already have a horse at my disposal." Lilly added in. "Which one? I do not remember you having a horse when you came to Rohan." "It is my steed from Rivendell my lord, Shadowfox." "But he returned to Rivendell after your capture." Legolas said. "But what you my not know is that he is Shadowfaxs' foal, and comes just as Shadowfax comes to Gandalf, with a whistle." She finished this statement with a little smile." "I did not know that Shadowfax had a foal." "I was given Shadowfox for one of my birthdays many years ago." "I will walk you to the gate then, I fear I must leave you both." "Thank you my lord, I was an honor to stay in Edoras, if I am lucky I will return to visit again." "I hope that you do, it is ever a pleasure to have you stay under my roof." And as a gesture of friendship he held his arms out as a sign that he wanted a hug; so Lilly accepted. "You take good care of her Legolas." He said clasping his hand. "I will my lord." Legolas said smiling and returning the gesture.
Once at the stables where Arod was loaded with the provisions Legolas and Lilly made their way down the streets towards the gates with Théoden following. As they came to a halt at the gate Théoden bid them a final fare well. "May your journey be safe and not to perilous." He added with a smile. So walking through the gate Legolas and Lilly turned to gaze once more at Edoras and at all the friends that they had made as the gate shut. So turning to face their path Lilly put her fingers to her mouth and gave a few short but precise whistles. For a moment they just waited. "Lilly he could be to far away to hear-." But he broke off as his keen ears picked up a new sound, hoof beats. Then over the horizon of one of the furthest hill burst Shadowfox. As he sped through the wind he seemed to be floating over the grass. Lilly smiled, Shadowfox never let her down. "Hello my friend." She said as Shadowfox came to a halt beside her, and with one swift fluid motion she swung up upon his back. "Come Legolas we have a long day ahead of us." And with that he swung upon Arod just as Lily had done. Positioning himself upon Arod he spurred him forward. "And so it begins." Lilly said as she spurred on Shadowfox to catch up with Legolas.
