Look what I put in this chapter is what I thought of. And if some of it can't happen, like it's impossible in the real middle earth world well I'm sorri, but it's still going in. After all this is MY fanfic and I want to make this story my way. Im sorri if u think its lame or doesn't fit into anything but, yeah. I'm not sure of the names of the gods, so I wont mention them until I read through The Silmarillion. And if some r wrong or don't fit in I'm sorry.

A long time ago, in the elder days and during the time when Morgoth was almost defeated, two of the gods of the valar decided to have a child. (I'm making this up, regardless of the consequences whatsoever) The gods wanted to make this child a beautiful, elegant, and strong child. They poured their strength, power and love hoping to create the perfect child, and that child would live in Valinor with the Gods hoping that one day it would become the control of their world and bring peace. The gods prepared for the coming of this new child and created such a stirrup that news of this started spreading. Some how it spread to the ears of the dark lord Morgoth just before he was destroyed, he set a spell on the 'child to be born' that once it was born the gods couldn't get to hold it in their arms before it was lost. The valar didn't believe that it was true and so went along with creating the child. So years and years passed to the day in which the child was coming. Joy, stress but happiness filled the gods and the child was finally born. It lay on the soft grass below them as they looked over it from above, and each god blessed the child with a special gift. But as one of the gods reached down and touched its hand it disappeared. Only then did they know that the spell was real. The gods ordered to search all over Valinor and Middle Earth for the missing child but they never found it. The gods sensed that the child was not gone, only lost and they found that it was sent to another place. How did they know? As each one of the gods placed a gift upon the child it allowed the child to be immortal, a god like themselves. The could sense the child far away but only enough to know it was alive and unwell.

Most of their power had been poured into the child and they felt too weak to do anything, but as they recovered their power they knew the only way that the child could come back is if it wanted to, since it did possess their power. It seemed very hard to believe and not many knew about this as it was passed on. But legend has it that the child would come back to their world some time in the third age. But that's what legend says.

The same day the child should have returned, an elven king had his first son. This prince was beautiful, elegant and strong, but it was not the child of the gods as it was boy and the child was a goddess. The king was uneasy about the situation, if the gods would take the wrong idea and punish him or the prince. He had premonitions, visions of his son's future and kept a close eye on him. Somehow it appears that the prince and that child share a similar fate.

Time passed by quickly in Middle Earth and before long it had been almost 2944 years, but where that beautiful child was it was only 19 years. She had no memory of anything before and fell into the lives 2 unloving or caring couple who became her parents and all her life she had lived alone. Until now. (Much more confusing things of how Tolkien and the whole world of middle earth fits in but I won't mention it here.)

You may have figured out that the prince in the story above is the dear prince Legolas, and the lost child, the lost goddess is and always was Sawen. It's strange that Sawen has to suffer and go through that horrible deal with a strange voice. She didn't know it yet but it was the gods. They gave her one month to walk the lands of ME before rejoining them and the part on love was just to get her to agree. They were talking about their love, the lost love of the gods to this child and to reunite with her. They didn't plan that she would fall in love with anyone else or much less let that person fall in love with her, a goddess.

Back to the story

After Sawen and Legolas woke up from their peaceful nap they headed back to the palace. They were both awfully hungry and dinner was 2 hours away.

"Sawen, let's get something to eat." Legolas said as his stomach gave a small growl.

"I thought you'd never ask! I'm starving, lets go!" she said excitedly.

Legolas led her into the kitchen and there was no one inside preparing since it was still early. He looked through the pantries and cupboards for food but there were only the ingredients.

"Sawen, I'm sorry, there's nothing here. I'll go get the maids to make us something." He said as he headed out of the door but was stopped by Sawen holding her arm straight in front of his chest and blocking the doorway. "Nope" she said. Legolas looked at her confused. " There's plenty of things here, we'll just make it ourselves."

"I'm not very good at cooking my own food." He said with a slightly embarrassed face.

"That's ok. I'm not that good either" she was lying to make him feel better, she was actually really good at it. "I know what we can do! We'll both make something for the other and see how it tastes. It'll be fun!" She smiled and started searching through the cupboards.

She always seems so happy now; I don't want to tell her about father. "Ok"

They both started straight away and Sawen was going to make a make her own spaghetti from scratch. That's right, elves of course didn't have spaghetti so she had to make her own pasta and sauce and etc. She gathered flour, eggs, etc for the pasta and rolled her own dough. Then carefully she twisted it around and rolled it dead flat on the wooden table and cut thin strips. It was a lot of work but she wanted it to be perfect for him. Legolas was thinking over and over on what to make, but he knew whatever it was it couldn't compare with what Sawen was making, as he watched her in curiosity. She had quickly finished the pasta and found a few tomatoes that she mashed and mixed other herbs and ingredients in, and then she looked for meat. Luckily there was some there on the kitchen bench, supposedly for tonight but Legolas assured her it was okay to just use whatever she wanted. She cooked the meat with sauce and prepared everything else. She never turned her back to see what Legolas was doing but he was having a lot of trouble. He was 'trying' to make soup for her out of a few vegetables and some meat he found and mixing all these other herbs and stuff. Finally Sawen had just served the spaghetti into a large plate, added the sauce and topped it off with a mint leaf. Legolas had served his 'soup' in a bowl and put in a spoon.

They both sat down staring at each other and exchanged their food. The smell of Sawen's cooing filled the whole kitchen and Legolas soup smelled very nice and unique. Legolas examined his plat and used a fork and slowly lifted the pasta. Sawen showed him to roll it into a ball and eat it. He ate one mouthful and was surprised it tasted so delicious. " This is great! You should cook your food more often, it's better than what I eat here." He said and Sawen blushed. She looked down in her bowl, and took the spoon and scooped it up and slowly drank the hot soup. As soon as she took a sip she blocked it from pouring into her mouth with her tongue so that Legolas wouldn't know. She tried not to make a disgusted face and smiled. "Yours tastes.....unique." She thought maybe it was just a bad reaction for the first time and took a spoonful in all at once and as soon as she swallowed it she had the urge to spew it all back out. It tasted worse than anything she could remember and the meat was off. Legolas was finishing off his plate already as he looked up and saw Sawen's bowl still full. He wasn't surprised, anything he made was either bad or very bad and this was very bad. "What do you think?" He asked, she looked up she tried to tell him that it was off but she ended up running outside as quickly as she could out the back door of the kitchen and regurgitated the soup back out at the back of a bush. He followed quickly to see what was wrong and saw what happened. " That bad huh? I'm so sorry." He handed her a small cloth as she wiped her mouth. "I'm sorry, maybe I'm not use to it." " No I'm sure it's because I can't cook. Come let's go back to my room. I'll get the maids to make you something proper." He helped her back to the room. When they were inside Legolas noticed a small gift on his bed. He smiled and sat down and started opening it. Sawen wondered whom it was from and what it was for. When he finished it was a box and he opened it gently and saw 2 bracelets. They were both thin and silver with writing on each one. There was a small piece of paper in the box that read

Dear Legolas, Au onnad meren, I didn't forget. These two bracelets are for you and someone special, if you both have one then there'll always be a part of the other with you. I hope you don't mind, I already chose the names on them. From Eldarwen and Kenshyne.

He smiled at the card. "Legolas? What is it?" "It's a present, from Eldarwen and Kenshyne. For my birthday." Sawen totally fell back for a second, WHAT! It's his birthday, and he didn't even mention it?! What am I suppose to get him?? " That's wonderful! How old are you turning?" She knew the answer but was just interested. "two thousand nine hundred and something, I guess I've lost count." It was a young age for elves and he looked about her age. He looked around the bracelet and saw an engraved marking Sawen and on the other Legolas. "Sawen, close your eyes," she did as told "Now hold out your hand." He slipped the bracelet onto her wrist and it looked beautiful. "Now open." When she saw this she was stunned, she saw the word Legolas on it and she was just blown away. "I can't have this. This was your present." "I have one here," He showed her his own one that had the name Sawen on it "As long as we both wear it, there's always a piece of the other in us. She smiled and almost cried over the happiness but didn't and instead she hugged him and he held her close. "Thank you." She whispered. "Come, we must shower and dress for dinner, it'll only be a small dinner with the four of us and that's it." "What about your father?" Legolas frowned at the word. "He won't be coming, He probably forgot."

While Legolas was in the shower Sawen disappeared off somewhere but came back in time. Sawen dressed in a simple white and cream dress and Legolas wore silver and black clothing they headed to the dining room and Eldarwen and Kenshyne were already there. They sat and started conversation about any little thing and had a joyful dinner. After they finished Eldarwen leaded them onto the balcony. "A little something we got from Gandalf. She pointed out towards the sky and fireworks blew up splashing colours everywhere in different patterns. "It's wonderful thank you." He hugged the two closely and realized Sawen was missing. And as he turned back around he saw her standing at the door with something in her hand. "A little something I whipped up, I haven't got much to give you so I hope you don't mind" she said as she handed him a small plate with a cover. He opened it and there was a small cake decorated with cream and a single tiny burning candle. "It's a birthday cake, just for you. Make a wish and then blow out the candle." Eldarwen and Kenshyne were both enjoying the fireworks and giving a bit of private time with Legolas and Sawen. Sawen leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He looked down at his candle I wish that, I wish my father could be here." And he blew out the candle.

"Well? Eat it." She stared eagerly to see what he thought. He smiled and took out the candle and ate it all up. It tasted delicious like her other foods but it was special. He finished within seconds and left a bit of cream on side of his mouth. She chuckled that he ate like a kid and wiped it of with a napkin. "Thank you." He put down the plate and held her close to him and he kissed her passionately and she kissed him back. After a moment they pulled back to catch some air and watched the end of the fireworks. "Happy Birthday Legolas." She whispered as he put his arm around her waist and kissed her. Such a shame my father couldn't remember. He never does, and all my birthdays I've been wishing that he could join in celebrating with me, but now, maybe all I really wanted, was to spend my birthday with her.

It was getting late and they had all gone to sleep. In Thranduil's room he was in bed and turning restlessly. In his dream he saw visions of his son, one was Legolas lying dead on the grass and Sawen crying next to him. The other was Legolas slitting his wrists.
