PiratesAreCool: Thank you, I try, I really do. Hee hee.
Hex: Oh yes, surprises are very fun!! I wouldn't want to ruin the story by telling you something, now would I? Although, you would like that a lot!
A/N I'm so sorry for the big gaps between the chapters. I've started another story and I'm going to alternate writing chapters, so that should get my butt moving.
*******Chapter 12*********
Meleth turned to Arwen. "I think I have to tell him the truth. I do love him, I really do, but right now is not the right time to be getting married. My whole life is turned upside down and everything is so new. I think he'll understand. I hope he'll understand."
Arwen and Celebrian nodded. A bell tinkled in a corner of the room. Celebrian took Meleth's hand and nodded to Arwen. "That's the signal that the battle is over. We can leave now."
The three rose and left the room.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Sir?" Mattes asked. "I believe you are confused."
"Prince Novirion, I have come to Lord Elrond with a message from your father," the messenger continued, looking at Lord Elrond.
Mattes stared in confusion at Lord Elrond, speechless. "My father was a guard who was killed with Glebriwyn and Anadriewen. I am no prince."
Lord Elrond put his hand on Mattes' shoulder. "Thank you," he said to the guard. "You may return to King Thranduil now." The guard mounted his horse and took off.
Lord Elrond turned to Mattes. "The girls have been notified of the end of the attack. They will have returned to their rooms by now. I understand you are confused about what just happened with the messenger and I will explain if you will please come with me to my study." Mattes nodded, still in shock and silently followed Lord Elrond to said study. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lady Celebrian and Arwen escorted Meleth back to her room. "Thank you," Meleth said as she hugged both she-elves. "I think I'll be alright now. Mattes will come back and we can talk."
As Celebrian and Arwen left, Meleth sighed. She had no idea how she was going to tell Mattes. She did want to marry him, just not right now. Suddenly a thought hit her and she gasped.
What if Mattes hadn't survived the attack? What if she was left alone and he didn't know she loved him? Meleth started pacing in her room.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Have a seat please," Elrond gestured to a poofy armchair and sat in the one across from it. Mattes obliged. "It is a very long story."
"You see, the prophecy that was made when Meleth was born was not only about Meleth. It was also about you. I think it is time you were shown the prophecy as Lady Galadriel wrote it down."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Drie burst into Meleth's room, answering her call. 'What is it, my lady?"
"I need to know if Mattes lived through the attack. You must tell me, I know you know."
"Very well, my lady."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lord Elrond rifled through the drawers at his desk until he pulled out a carefully preserved piece of paper. He handed the paper to Mattes and nodded, indicating he should read it.
~~To Whom It May Concern:
I have just prophesized about the elflings Meleth, born of Glebriwyn and Anadriewen, and Novirion, born of the King and Queen of Mirkwood. The elflings will be in mortal danger if this prophecy is known of by Sandolin the White. The prophecy goes as follows:
Meleth and Novirion are going to fall in love. Their firstborn child will be the one to save the elves from their time of doom.
I fear Sandolin the White will somehow learn of this prophecy. Novirion should live with a common family in Mirkwood to prevent him being harmed. He is young enough to have no memory of his royalty. Meleth is not well known throughout the community, so she will not be an easy target.
It is with deepest sorrow I give these requests,
Galadriel, Lady of Light~~
Mattes looked at Elrond. "This is all true? You are telling the truth? I am a prince?"
Elrond nodded. "The guard whom the villagers assumed was your father was the father of the family you were sent to live with."
"But why were Meleth and I together on that trip?" Mattes questioned.
"You were being brought to me. Sandolin had learned of the prophecy and it was decided Mirkwood was no longer safe for you. King Thranduil decided, as much as it hurt him to lose his son right after his wife, you needed to come live in Rivendell."
"My father is alive? I have a brother? Prince Novirion. That has a nice ring to it. Now, if you will excuse me, my lord, I asked Meleth a question that needed to be answered. I must go to her room and get that answer. May I take this to her?" Mattes asked, indicating the prophecy.
"Of course," Lord Elrond replied as Mattes hurried out of the room.
Mattes burst into Meleth's room and found Drie sobbing on the bed. "She's gone! Mattes? You are supposed to be dead!"
