Chapter 5

There closeness made my inside fume with immense rage and jealousy. This could not be happening. Standing there, looking at their shadows as they become closer and closer. It hurt me more when Haldir reached for El's face and she responded by placing her palm above his hand. I felt suffocated in seeing the one I love with another... but is this right? I still don't own her anyway. She is not mine, and now, as I stand before them, the chance of claiming her love was as blurred as blotted ink in a parchment. All I could hear was my heart beating, and if they were not preoccupied with each other, they might have even heard it. The vast beating of my jealousy made me deaf. I can not hear anything. Only the sweet nothings they are saying with each other that meant the destruction of me. Then slowly, they drew even more close to each other. I became deaf. My senses focusing on what they were doing...caressing each others faces...piercing each others' soul with their stares. It was too much to bear...too much sorrow to see in a day...too much for my weak heart to embrace.

I couldn't stand seeing them. I hurriedly turned away and got out of the chamber. Though it was not of my will, I had unconsciously slammed the door out of my vitriol. Then I just ran and ran. I ran no matter where my feet might lead me, I have to take refuge.

Alas! I had to stop. There is no use for me running. Father would be angered by my doings. I had to stop. And then, I walked into a hidden meadow. It was dark but Elbereth had made a magnificent glow upon the dried leaves to lead me a way. I do not recall my feet falling in this place before. But it is too late to turn back, the beauty and reverence that this place held has already captivated me and had my breath taken away.

It was too mysterious, like it wasn't night at all, but a red day...full of lost memory and despair. Full of the anxiety of a born child but is kept inside a chamber, locked up from eternal joy and the freedom to see true happiness. But in one side of this meadow, a hope of flying freely was kept.

I stood there, taking in all that had happened for the whole day and the meaning of this place. Surely, it has never been here before, for every corner of this forest, I have searched for a place of solitude but never have I stumbled upon this magnificent meadow. Then it struck me, the understanding rushing into my very being. This place is...

'My heart.'

'Your heart.'

The voice of the Lady Galadriel rushing into my head, echoing into the depths of my soul.

'Laiqualasse...' she whispered.

I looked around me but her being was no where to be found.

'Laiqualasse... open your heart to hear my voice. Open your mind to see my face.' she whispered once more.

I relaxed myself and closed my eyes. My even breaths breathing the sweet smell of the night. I slowly opened it and saw the glow within her lighting up the red atmosphere, the leaves blowing around her as she walked towards me. She stretched her arm and held my face with both of her hands. It felt cold but sent warmth throughout my body.

I did not know, but when I saw Galadriel's face with tears, I was also crying. Too much of a burden was laid upon me and now, I try to recover from it, but how? It only has begun.

'Do not lose hope, my child. You must learn how to face it. The valar never forgets.' and Galadriel slowly turns away from me. I reached for her hand. She looked at me with pitiful eyes.

'The ships shall accept only in rebirth. Allow yourself then voyage across it. Your sea will be filled after the journey; it is either of the tear or the breath. But choose the breath to cherish the breathe of the voyage. The tear shall only help you float away to a darker shore.'

And with this, she released her grasp in my hand and slowly faded away in the forest. I didn't move when she left. All I can think of is what she has said, and then, there was nothing.

A/N: I'll post another chapter... Do you like this one? Keep on reviewing!!!
