The following morning the small group left main Mirkwood bound west for Lorien before going on to Rivendell. The small group consisted of : Estelas, Lauron, Legolas, Lucianna, Thalion ranked second after Master Findel and 2 other warriors: Beleg, Elenedel. It took them 3 days to reach the borders of Lothlorien as they only stopped to rest the horses as they much desired to reach Lorien and then continue quickly to Rivendell.
As they stepped into the Golden forest the March warden Haldir and his brothers Rumil and Orophin dropped down to meet them and they quickly sped to Caras Galadhon. They all dismounted at the bottom of the tree which was the palace of Galadriel lady of light and Lord Celeborn. The three Prince's made themselves ready to be brought before they Lord and Lady. Only Estelas and Lauron had met they lady before due to the fact they hardly travelled far after their mother's sailing, Legolas was looking round in awe at how different Lorien was from his home. They soon came to the flet which served as the throne room and there seated were the Lord and Lady. Legolas was very much taken back by the beauty of Galadriel and knew all about her abilities to talk to people through their minds and as if to prove the point that's exactly what she did.
Greetings Prince Legolas son of Thranduil, I thought the years may have lessened the pain on your heart. You will suffer more heartache no doubt but will you let it control you and lead you to your doom or will you fight it.
Legolas froze shocked by what the lady was saying as she also had the power of foresight. Galadriel now spoke out loud to the group.
"Mae Govannen young Prince's of Mirkwood, I take it your journey was uneventful. My granddaughter would very much like to leave on the morrow before dawn and so you will be led to accommodation in our halls for tonight."
With this the Prince's bowed their thanks and were taking their leave when Legolas turned round to face the Lord and Lady.
"Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn would you mind me asking to see lady Arwen I have been concerned for her since we found out the news and would like to talk with her".
"Yes young Prince, I'm sure she will not mind, I will lead you to her chamber myself". With this the Lady of light took Legolas by the arm and led him off, once they were out of earshot the lady spoke again.
"I know you may be confused by what I have said but do not dwell on it and remember fate is not a game to play how you will. You have suffered much already penneth and if you let it you would realise it has made you all the stronger"
They slowed outside a door and Galadriel took her leave before Legolas could ask any questions. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door and heard a quiet voice grant him entry. He entered the room which was dark with the curtains still drawn, Arwen lay on the bed facing the window still clad in her night gown.
"Lady Arwen I hope I have not disturbed you, I didn't realise the hour, I apologise" Legolas turned to leave but Arwen sat up and called Legolas' name causing him to stop and turn back and he barely had time to take in her face before Arwen had jumped into his arms crying. Legolas held her close rubbing her back feeling slightly out of place and guided her back to the bed where they sat as she cried on his shoulder.
"What if he dies Legolas, it would destroy our family, Elrohir would only follow leaving me and Ada. I would have to return to Imladris forever back to that house of mourning."
"Sssh, He may yet live do not lose hope"
"For Ada to say he is dying it must be bad, Ada is the greatest healer on Arda"
"Be that as it may, he may yet find the antidote for the poison"
"You truely believe that"
"Yes because some one has to remember there is hope"
"Lothwen come, your Ada and siblings are about to arrive, you can see their ship on the horizon.
"Nana what if they do not like me?"
"They will my darling, you are a beautiful grown elleth and most of all their family"
"Will you recognize them still?"
"I hope so I will definitely remember you Ada and Telithia, Estelas and Lauron but I can only hope with Legolas"
"Why?"
"He was only a little elfling when I came here, I'm sure he is a handsome elf now and has had plenty of adventures, My little Prince."
Slowly a ship came into the dock and first to appear was Thranduil who quickly ran to his wife tightly embracing her and kissing her full on tears falling from both their eyes. Next came Estelas who hugged his mother spinning her round, tears falling from his eyes also.
"My hope, has life treated you well?"
"That it has nana, I'm so glad to see you"
"And I you"
Lauron next came up hugging his mother the happiest he had been for centuries. Lauressa next hugged Telithia.
"You are even more beautiful than I remember, even with tears streaming down your cheeks." Telithia moved then to her little sister. Lauressa looked round for her Little Prince.
"Where is Legolas?" she asked confused. The others all turned away except for Lothwen who was equally confused.
"Nana I'm here" Legolas jerked up breathing deeply, his eyes darting round the room as he slowly realised it was only a dream. He looked towards the door and was shocked to find Estelas standing next to his bed looking deeply worried at Legolas.
"What did you see?"
"I don't know."
Estelas sat down on the bed facing Legolas.
"Why the secrets little Prince, why not talk to me. Your heart seems so troubled yet you will not speak upon it."
Legolas took a deep breath and looking at his bed clothes explained all to his brother.
"I recently feel an outsider in our family, I have hardly any memories of Nana and it upset's me and all I have is the locket and over the years the day she left has become a blur. My dream tonight was the family sailing to the undying lands.....I saw nana and our little sister she was so pretty her name was Lothwen. Nana was telling her how she didn't know if she would recognise me anymore because I was so little when she left. Then ada, you, Lauron and Telithia all went and hugged her but when she asked where I was you all were silent and that's when I woke up."
"How can you have seen that though, you are not gifted with the power of foresight" at a shake of the head from Legolas he continued.
"Therefore it was a dream, nothing more."
Just then there was knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Legolas called.
"It's me Greeny, I can't get Arwen to sleep I need your help"
Losing all sense of decorum Legolas fled the room clad in only his leggings. Estelas sighed and headed for his own room.
