Chapter 7 ~ Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha

Legolas quickly broke off. "Amin hireatha (I'm sorry)."

Valia smiled at him. "Don't be," she replied, before leaning forwards and kissing him again. Her bow had fallen to the ground and she wrapped her arms around his neck. This time she broke off. "Are you alright Legolas?"

"Yes, I'm fine. But wow!" he replied.

"Same from this side," Valia laughed.

Then Legolas looked up as he heard two familiar voices been carried on the wind, approaching them. "Come on. Let's get out of here," he grabbed her hand and picked up her bow making a dash back down the path leading to the archery fields, they took a left turn as the twins just appeared around the corner. Legolas prayed they had not seen him and Valia. He didn't think he could take it if the twins just witnessed what had happened.

"Legolas, what is it?" said Valia just recovering from the fits of giggles she had previously burst into. She obviously had not saw Elladan and Elrohir for which he was also very thankful.

He turner to her and said. "Nothing. I just wanted us to have a little more privacy. Come on, let's go own by the fountain. Nobody ever goes there, so we can be in private." He smiled down at her and kissed her cheek.

"Ok," Valia took his hand once more as he led her down to their spot by the fountain. "It was so peaceful there, they set their bows and quivers down by the bench and Legolas helped Valia into their tree. They sat high up in the branches out of sight to anyone on the ground.

There the two sat hand in hand. Legolas broke the silence that was falling and sat softly. "What, just happened down there? I mean I know about the whole kissing thing but what?" he looked at her a little confused.

*Boys* Valia thought. Then she tossed her hair back and replied. "I don't know." Legolas nodded. Then Valia's smile faded. "Legolas, I need to talk to you. You know those dreams I told you about?"

"Yes, are you still having them?" Legolas looked at her concerned.

"Well, yes. But the thing is Legolas, they seem to be getting a little clearer. Not so blurred anymore and it's like I can here them talking to me in a language I do not understand. I don't know. Maybe they will become clearer in time. They are not bad in anyway, just strange to me."

"I understand. Well, if they do get clearer please tell me."

"I shall."

~*~

It was quite late when Valia woke up. She had had the same dream again, not very much clearer though. She was hungry so she decided to head down to breakfast and grab what was left.

She expected Legolas to have already eaten and be out by their fountain as usual. But was instead surprised to see him sitting with his father looking some what concerned and a little sad. He had hardly touched the food on his plate. His father was talking with Lord Elrond, the two Elves looked very serious and concerned.

Valia sat down next to Legolas and started putting food on her plate. "Legolas, are you alright?" she asked looking at his face, she started tucking in to her breakfast.

"I have to return to my home tomorrow. A message has come from Mirkwood last night with word of my mother. She and her party were attacked by the spiders of Mirkwood. They were on their way here to meet with myself and my father. They were able to get her back to her kingdom, but she took a fatal injury. She has been lain in bed for the past two weeks now. Word has just came of her. Lord Elrond shall accompany us. He will treat my mother the best he can and hopefully she shall recover." Legolas finished.

Valia had put down her food to stare at the Elf. "Legolas, I'm so sorry. Wait, that means you will be leaving so soon!" Valia said her heart sinking.

"I am sorry, I do not have a choice. I must go to my mother," Legolas said sadly.

"Of course, I understand. Sorry, I am been selfish. But I can not help my feelings." Said Valia bowing her head in shame.

"It's ok. I do not want to leave you either. But once my mother is well and everything is back in order, I shall return, I promise you." Legolas said softly. "Come on, let's go outside. I wish to enjoy my last day here." He stood and then turned to his father. "Father, I shall be in the grounds if I am needed."

Thranduil nodded and went back to talking to Lord Elrond. The two discreetly left the table, Valia picking up an apple to eat along the way. They came to their spot by the fountain and just sat on the bench gazing at the water as it cascaded down into an ornately carved basin.

They sat there for what seemed an eternity. All day they just talked about things. Silly things really. Valia told Legolas about her dream and then they sat for a while in silence. After a while, around sun set, Legolas took Valia's hand and pulled her up into the branches of the tree to watch the sun going down slowly behind the hills.

"Valia. I have been thinking, and you know as I am leaving tomorrow and I have no idea when I shall be able to return, well I have come up with something so that we may never forget. At this he took out a small knife he kept in his boot and began to scratch into the bark of the tree 'L & V 4EVA' in Elvish. He then carefully encircled it with a heart. Then he carved just beneath this in Elvish the words: 'Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha' (May the leaves of your life tree never turn brown).

Whenhe had finished Valia smoothed her hand across the fine Elven craftsmanship and whispered to herself. "Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha." Legolas smiled when he heard her repeat this. "Oh Legolas, that is so sweet!" then she pulled him in for a deep kiss. He put his am around her and she cuddled close. And there the two fell fast asleep in each other's arms up in the tree.

~*~

Valia and Legolas awoke to almost the whole court calling their names in the morning air. "Oh no," Legolas sighed. The two had slept in the tree all night and now everyone was wandering where they were. Legolas jumped down lightly from the tree as Valia followed after him. "Come on. I must get washed and changed into my travelling clothes. Quick!"

The two snuck back into the house of Elrond and Legolas slipped off towards his room and Valia to hers.

They met a few minutes later in the dining hall. Legolas got told off by his father for wandering off. The prince gave the simple explanation that he wanted to see the sun rise a last time before they departed. At this his father sighed heavily and told his son to quickly finish breakfast then they could be on their way. Legolas groaned and Valia joined him shortly after. They ate a hurried breakfast and then it was time for the Mirkwood Elves and Lord Elrond to depart to Mirkwood.

Valia stood by as she watched Legolas pack his horse and make ready to leave. Elladan and Elrohir had also gathered to bid their father fair well. They stood near to Valia and Legolas glanced over at them, the least he could do was make it u to them before he left and to make sure of one other thing.

"You two, erm.. Friends?" he held out his hand unsure of what to say.

"What do you think Elrohir?" asked Elladan.

"Hmmm, 'tis very tempting to send him on his way without our friendship returned, but I do not think he could bare living each day knowing we hated him." Replied Elrohir gravely.

Legolas' face fell. When the twins saw this they burst into laughter. "Of course we're friends you ninny! We were hoping you would make it up with us before you left," said Elladan and grasped Legolas' hand briefly, as did Elrohir.

"Look, Legolas, we're sorry about what happened, we didn't mean it," said Elrohir.

"It's ok, can you guys just do me one little favour. Can you please just look out for Valia," he said lowering his voice so she couldn't hear.

"Of course we will. We know she's special to you and all. By our lives or death if we can protect her, we shall. We give her our undying protecting," Elladan said dramatically.

"Yes, ok, ok you two. Don't rub it in!" Legolas hissed. The twins burst out laughing. Legolas sighed and made his way over to where Valia stood, tears welling in her eyes, though she tried with all her might to hold them back. "I'm going to miss you more than anything. More than i will miss watching the sun rise and set over the hills of Rivendell. And remember Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha."

"I will," Valia said. They indulged in one last kiss before Legolas mounted his horse and rode away into the distance with the rest of his company. Valia followed him with her eyes until he was out of sight.
