One week later, Sayowyn finally emerged from her bedroom. It was dark, and
all others were sleeping. She made her way down to the mirror of Galadriel.
She poured the pure water into the silver pan and looked into it.
She stared at it for a very long time, only seeing her reflection. She saw her face, full of question, hurt, and confusion. She was not the same as she had been only 2 weeks before. As her gaze got lost in the water, she noticed her reflection changed. Now she smiled as Legolas appeared at her side. It was a nice picture, how it was meant to be. Sayowyn removed her eyes from the mirror and looked beside her. No one stood next to her. It was just a fantasy.
Then, Sayowyn knew what she must do to make her dreams come true. She had to go to Legolas. She fled to find Haldir, who was keeping watch of Lothlorien's borders, as usual. He gave her a startled look as she ran to him.
"What is wrong, Sayowyn?" he asked when he saw the panic in her eyes.
"Where did Legolas go to?" she asked him.
Haldir gave her a little smile. "Rivendell, as far as I know. Are you going to make a trip?" he inquired.
"No time for that! Thank you Haldir!" she replied as she turned and ran to her bedroom once more. She opened up her closet, the doors made of Lothlorien's finest oak. Inside, behind her dresses, Sayowyn grabbed the outfit that would accompany her on her travel to Legolas.
She had never worn it before. It was similar to what Legolas had worn, but the green was a burgundy-redish color. She slipped on the tight black pants, stepped into the perfectly fitting knee high boots, and put on the jacket. She looked deeper into her closet and found a custom made sword, beautiful and handcrafted. Sitting next to it were arrows, and an exquisite Lothlorien bow. She grabbed these and slung them over her back, securing them with the leather straps which criss crossed around her chest.
Sayowyn looked herself over in the mirror. She liked how she looked. Closing her closet, she walked quietly from her room and tip toed down to the stables, where the elven horses rested. In the third stall stood her beautiful bay mare, shortly named Tia. They were very good friends. Sayowyn saddled her and climbed on, asking Tia to step quietly from the woods until they entered a field basking in moonlight.
"Noro Lim, Tia," Sayowyn requested to the mare, who took up speed and galloped off into the mountains. 2 Days later, they arrived, tired, in Rivendell's borders. Sayowyn walked the little mare across the stone bridge and into Rivendell, where people were sleeping.
Putting Tia in a stall, Sayowyn fed and watered her mount, dropped off her weaponry in a corner of the stall, and proceeded to search for Legolas. She followed her heart, which led her right to one of Rivendell's many short bridges. This one was surrounded by beautiful tree's, grass and flowers. The bridge stood over a pond of clear water.
She stepped off the path and onto the stone bridge. An elf stood, looking at his own reflection over the water. Legolas looked over where an elf princess stood some 20 feet away, looking into his eyes. He left his stare at the water and turned to her.
Sayowyn took a step toward him. "Legolas, I-"
"Shh," he said, cutting her off. He proceeded towards her. "You came a far distance, you need not explain."
Sayowyn let him approach her and stand a foot away. Legolas spoke again, placing his strong hands on her beautiful face. "Your heart tells me, you need not." he said. He leaned forward and kissed her. Both elves felt light headed and happy while enjoying the passionate embrace. When they both finally pulled back, Sayowyn looked into his eyes, comforted.
"I have made my choice. It is you I love." she whispered. Legolas smiled, as she put her hands onto his chest and let his arms close in around her, holding her tightly. She rested her head on his shoulder. And together they stood, just two Elves in love.
