Battles never Won, Loves never Lost

********Alklomwen openned her eyes and looked around her. She didn't recognized the
area she was in. The ground was bare and ash dusted it heavily. A few scraggly trees
grew here and there, their branches bare. The sun was not visible, but the sky glowed
a deep blood red. Smoke arose from holes in the ground and the air was thick and humid.
She suddenly realized there were two figures lying in the dirt less than fifteen feet away.
Alklomwen approached them and as she got closer, she stopped and her heart began to
pound. There in front of her were Haldir and her father, both were pale and blood soaked.
Alklomwen hurried closer and began to shake them, calling out their names.
"Haldir! Haldir! Atar! Atar!" There wasn't an answer from either. Alklomwen
felt warm tears streaking down her cheeks and she covered her face with her hands.
Sorrow consumed her as she cried her agony to the world. She took Haldir in her arms
and held him. He was cold and his golden hair had lost it's glow. His limp body was
heavy and took a lot of effort to lift. Alklomwen stroked his cheek with her hand
as her tears fell onto his ragged tunic.
She suddenly had a feeling that she was being watched at looked around. A
snort told her she was right and she spun around to find Dínyávion and another
unrecogizable elf, both mounted on horses. They were both starring directly at her
and the strange elf smiled wickedly. He said something to her brother in a strange
form of Elvish and Dínyávion answered. Alklomwen then realized it was Moriquenda and
she began to back up. The strange elf moved closer and showed himself. His hair was
silky black and his eyes were a pale blue. His tunic was black with a silver hawk
portrayed on it. It was Nilwethion. Alklomwen felt herself stop and she couldn't
move. She tried to get away, but some unseen force held her in place. Nilwethion
had dismounted from his horse and was less than five feet from her. In a last desperate
attemp, Alklomwen screamed.*********

She awoke in a cold sweat and shaking. Soft moonlight fell over her and she
glanced around her. She was in a room, decorated in white marble and blue traperys
on the walls. The moon's rays fell through shear curtains, covering the balcony
openning. All around, the room was completely quiet and serine. The sheets of the
bed ruffled alittle and someone's hand slid over her waist to her belly. Alklomwen
turned to see a very content looking Haldir smiling back at her. The sheets were
pulled down to his hips, making his legging visible and keeping his chest bear. Haldir
leaned closer and placed a gentle kiss on Alklomwen's cheek. His lips were warm and
gentle; his breath was soothing. Alklomwen settled down and slid back under the covers.
Haldir immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and cuddled closely. Alklomwen
rubbed his arms and Haldir made a small purring sound.
"Amin mela Lle," he said, licking her neck and nudging her hair away. The
smell of flowers and and forest reached Alklomwen's nose.
"Haldir?" asked Alklomwen, answered by a small nudge from Haldir. "I just
had the strangest dream." Haldir appeared, his hair tickling Alklomwen's side. He
looked slightly concerned, but didn't question. He loosened his grip on her waist
and leaned over her, holding himself up with his arms and his face inches from hers.
"I do not want to be separated from you, Haldir," she said softly, as Haldir
pressed his lips against hers. Then, he gazed at her with loving eyes and spoke.
"They cannot take you from me, Lothamin. I will fight for you if I must, for
my love is true and flows like a river, drowning out you pains and worries." Alklomwen
smiled at the elf's bravery.
"You will be my champion?" she asked, sighing. Haldir kissed her neck and looked
deep into her eyes.
"Yes, Lothamin. I will fight for you, even to the death." At those words, the two
elves settled down and lay together, content and untroubled.
