Inside
We don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we would do
We don't say goodbye.
Legolas awoke to see an array of new and exciting colors that were never there before. He looked around to see that there were no sounds coming from anywhere in the house. His elven ears could hear no one not even the mice under the floorboards.
Suddenly he remembered Dolgurak. Where had she gone? He quickly stood up and called her name. That's when he saw the blood. It stained his clothing, but not a drop of it was on his body. In fact his body tingled with a strange new energy. He couldn't concentrate on that now, he needed to find Dolgurak.
"Darling!" he called walking through the small house he had been staying in. There was no answer.
Legolas thought, trying hard to remember what had happened after he had slit his throat.
Like flashes suddenly he saw the moments. They had been locked in an embrace, each taking blood from the other, their arms wrapped around each other. Then he saw her fall over and look at him, her eyes filled with red tears. She was heartbroken, but he felt so wonderful. Something had changed inside of her, but she didn't speak of it. Sadly she forced a smile and she walked out of the door, not saying a word. Legolas had promptly passed out after that.
Too fast for his mind to comprehend he walked out the door into the early moonlight. A day must have passed. Had Dolgurak even come back? Did she leave forever?
He walked slowly and quietly around the house. When he turned the corner he quickly turned away shielding his face and sobbing. Lying there under the windowsill was the charred form of Dolgurak, burnt by the rays of the sun.
Legolas couldn't understand. Why had she done this? They could be together now? What had he not understood?
"I love my pain," a voice whispered from inside.
"Dolgurak!" he shouted into the sky, "You come back right now! Get back in your body! Make it live! I'll give you my blood!"
"So naïve," she tutted.
"Why did you leave me?" he shouted pounding his fists into his head.
"Be glad I chose to spend my last hours with you," she reminded him.
"I just want you to be back, I want to spend eternity with you!" he screamed looking down at her disgusting body.
"I cannot bear to go on," she sighed.
"Nor can I!" he screamed over and over throwing himself upon the ash like pile that resembled her body. For hours he laid there, reminiscing on what they had done.
Suddenly, just before dawn he stood up, brushing the ashes from his body and began to walk into the forest surrounding him. He knew what he would do; he would sail over the ocean in search of death now that he was truly immortal. Someday he would find peace, and when that day would come, he would be ready, to die swiftly.
He paused just as the house was about to go out of sight. He turned and opened his mouth as if he were going to say something, but then stopped himself.
"That's right," he said aloud, "We don't say goodbye."
