Chapter 2
As the first light of dawn shone on the land of Gondor, healers, warriors, and all busied themselves with their own tasks. The trees and flowers swayed serenely with the wind, it was a bright morning. Silence was the ambiance, as the war at Mordor not yet started, yet not ended. The captains, marshals and leader were engaged planning of the war ahead.
The fair elven prince of Mirkwood, Legolas Greenleaf, was strolling alone peacefully in the garden of the Houses of Healing. The morning breeze was tranquil and he realized that he yearned for his home. Legolas laid his fair, yet stout hand on a white lily.
"Beautiful and graceful, the flower is, swaying merrily with the wind. Yet strong, standing proud with confidence." He then plucked a few lilies and walked calmly to the Houses of Healing.

Legolas knocked on the door gently, not wanting to rouse the sleeping beauty. But the fair maiden was standing, facing out the window. Clad in all white, her shield-arm was set in a sling of linen. Her face was pale, cold was her eyes. The prince elf pitied the maiden.
"Good Morning, lady of Rohan," Legolas greeted her.
"Good morning to you, Master Elf," She replied.
Then Legolas gave her the lilies and said, "The lilies reminded me of you, my lady. Proud, beautiful and gentle."
Eowyn faced the elf and said, "Nay, Elf! My hands are ungentle. I am a shieldmaiden, and I am ungentle. But I thank thee for the lilies, it is beautiful." She smiled and put the white lilies aside.
Legolas took her right hand; she quivered by the elf's gentle touch. He kisses her hand, looked into her cold grey eyes and said softly, "My lady, call me Legolas."
"Yes Legolas," She replied, spell-bounded.
Moving closer to the white lady, he whispered to her, "I will cure you of any illness, and I will free you from the cage, my love." He gazed dreamily in her eyes, and then looked at the lips and closer, and closer he got to her. Eowyn tried to stop him but his lips were on hers.

A woman of the Houses of Healings was carrying Eowyn breakfast to her chamber, when she saw the Elven Prince and Lady Eowyn was kissing. They moved away, Eowyn's pale face was red, she was blushing. The woman, named Typena, apologized for interrupting; she then leaved them in the chamber.
Still staggered by the sudden kiss from the elven prince, Eowyn sat down on her bed, then she looked at Legolas, who was leaning on the wall, and said, "What was that kiss for, Legolas?"
"To clear all darkness from you, my lady." Legolas replied. "I will not trouble you now, but can I take you for a walk after dusk?"
Eowyn smiled weakly and said, "Of course, I feel restless indoors and maybe I need a walk around the garden. I will wait for thee."
"Thank you." Legolas kissed Eowyn's fair cheek and he leaved the Houses of Healings.
