So, now the story comes to an end. I'm just kidding, there's still some more. Now I found inspiration in stuff n stuff. I think I'm gonna go well, or try to. Anyways, here it is. I changed what I was going to put, I guess its better this way. So look. I like the number 13 so I'm gonna try my best to update every 13 days and no l8er. But I can't make any promises.
Days flew past and it has come to the 28th day since Sawen arrived.
Early morning and Legolas is still in bed and Sawen was at the dressing table already awake and feeling energetic. "Legolas wake up" There was no answer from the elf and instead he pulled the covers above his head. She walked over to him quietly, "Poor Legolas must be soo tired." She sat beside the bed and bent down. "WAKE UP!!" Immediately he woke and looked around to see what the trouble was. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Why were you screaming?" He yawned and sat up.
"I wanted you to wake up." She said in a cute high pitch sort of voice.
"Well you could have tugged me a little, my ears are still numb." He said as he rubbed his ears and stroked his hair. "So anyway, why did you want me to wake so early?"
"Well I don't know. You promised to show me around, and I think I want to see you doing archery. I know you're really good at it."
Legolas blushed and rubbed his hair, "Okay, but it's still a bit early I think I'll sleep a little more, then I'll show you how to shoot." He said as he fell back onto the bed. Sawen sighed, "Okay, you can sleep." She walked out without saying a word and headed to the archery ranges, wherever it was. As she walked outside the palace it was quiet, not a single person in sight. Through the long road and some beautiful grass hedges she finally got there. As she approached the archery range she could hear a few male elves talking and laughing. They were practicing archery. There were three of them. All well built and elegant and quite fair. Sawen sat herself down in the spectator chairs and watched, hoping that Legolas would come soon.
The first one that approached picked up his bow, aimed at the target and shot. It landed about 2cm away from the centre. The other two laughed and smirked. The second one shot and it landed 1cm away. Lastly the third one walked up, aimed and shot directly in the centre of the target. Sawen couldn't help but clap as she saw it hit and the three males looked over to see a beautiful lady looking over at them.
"She's nice. I bet I can work her." Said one of them smirking over at Sawen. The other two didn't say anything. "First I'll sweet talk and show her how to shoot an arrow since she looks pretty interested. That'll give me a chance to get a better look at her. From there, I'll work on." He smirked again and walked over.
"Aur vaer good morning it's a beautiful day. What brings you here?"
"Oh nothing, I just like archery and wanted to watch, if that's ok?" She asked
"Of course. I'll even teach you how. You seem like the type." She insisted
"Really? Cool!" She exclaimed. Since elves were not use to slang he just looked a bit confused but walked over with her. "Here you can use my bow." He handed her his long dark brown with gold engravings on it. My name is Sildarthar." "Mine's Sawen."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sawen. Your beauty shines afar." He said as she blushed. "Here stand at the behind the line." She did as told, " Now hold the arrow in front of the bow and pull it in between your fingers." He got a good look at her backside and her perfect body shape. "No no, like this" He stood up close next to her so that their bodies were almost touching and he put his hands over her shoulders and showed her what to do even though she was correct, he was moving in. She didn't suspect anything and just kept going. She was in a perfect position and released the arrow that went flying pass in hit the target about 10cm away from the centre. "I suck. Oh well thanks for helping." She started backing away from him and looking over to see if Legolas was here yet.
"No don't leave, try again." He persuaded again and again. He was obviously flirting and not being so dense Sawen saw right through him.
"No I think I'll wait for a while."
"Well lets go sit down, get to know each other." He walked her over and they sat down. He was about to put his arm over her shoulder and move closer but she read his every move and sat half a metre away.
She's good. He decided to show off a bit and flipped his hair back and rolled up his sleeve. His abs were showing and any elleth that saw him would have blushed and drooled if he made eye contact. Sawen just sat there ignoring him, waiting.
Meanwhile Legolas was just approaching the ranges when a young lady bumped into him purposely trying to get his attention. "Oh excuse me my lord. I didn't see where I was going." She spoke innocently. Her messy chocolate hair and brown eyes gazed into him. She flicked her hair and showed her dress a half torn. It was already like that, obviously trying to tempt the prince.
"Oh that's okay, as long as your not hurt. Excuse me." He said as he started walking away. He came up to the entrance and Sawen just spotted him. She could see another lady elf with him. About the same in looks. She saw her all over him and he held her in his arms just as she fell. Their faces came inches away and she tried to close in on his lips. Her torn dress revealed way too much and she innocently tried to seduce the prince. Who obviously didn't feel anything. He walked away and she looked down sadly.
Sawen sat there and saw Legolas spotted her up on the seats with another elf. She saw this as an opportunity to play around. Sildarthar slid next to Sawen and started talking closely and laughing. She didn't move away and pretended to laugh with him, but she was irritated by his lame jokes. He took off his Armour and flirted more and more. "Say, lets go somewhere less sunny."
Sawen smirked as she noticed that Legolas could hear their conversation. He glared at Siladarthar and just before Siladarthar could put his arms over Sawen he came in. "Oh hello there Legolas. This is my friend Sildarthar, care to join us?" She asked keeping herself from laughing from the expression on his face. Siladarthar was annoyed that Legolas walked in but greeted him. "Excuse us, we were in a conversation." He said and took Sawen's hand. But she withdrew them and stood up.
"See you around Sildarthar." And she walked away. Sildarthar was about to run after her but Legolas pulled him back.
"Do not touch her." He said coldly and he walked off after Sawen.
As Legolas caught up with her he saw her by a small clear pond. "What were you two talking about?" he asked sweetly yet anxious to know why he was all over her.
"I should ask you the same question. You and umm that lady before. She was into you."
"Well same with you and Sildarthar. He was flirting all with you. And you didn't move back. You seemed interested." He said playfully and joking.
Sawen giggled as she realized. "Why? You jealous?"
Legolas blushed and was annoyed and a slight bit angry. But this made Sawen laugh even more. "Oh come on, your such a kid. Nothing was happening. I decided to play around after seeing you and..."
"It was nothing. She tripped and I got hold of her. I didn't know what she was doing all over me half torn." He stopped and stared at her, she was looking up in the sky. He sat himself down on the grass. They were out of sight from everyone else. Tress, flowers, and a pond in front. " Come, sit down." The prince insisted, he lay down hoping she would follow.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" She could tell by the desire in his eyes. She looked blankly at him and Legolas' face turned from a smirk. "Why would you say that?"
"Well if your not your sure acting like you are and if you are your not doing a very good job." She said. Legolas sat himself up and Sawen turned and looked deep into the pond. She felt cold. Freezing cold inside her. She felt herself fading.
Legolas was deep in thought too. When he finished he stood up and held Sawen's hands, which were as cold as ice.
"Legolas. I have to tell you something. I.. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be here and I don't want to leave but I have no choice. I'm fading." A drop of tear fell down her cheek. Legolas held her tight in his arms. "I need you to promise me something." She asked as she pulled back and looked into his eyes. "I need you to promise that when I am gone you will forget about me. I want you to forget what we had together and forget that you ever met me." She wiped away more tears from her face. "I want you to move on and find someone special to you. I'm sorry for what I'm putting you through. I'm so sorry"
Her words hurt her more than they hurt him. He sighed but held her close to him and whispered softly into her ears, "I love ...." Just then a guard came up to them and cut them off. "The king wishes to speak with you." He said bowing at Legolas and looking at Sawen.
Sawen let go Legolas but he pulled her back in. Finally he released her and still crying she walked away with the guard.
In the library
Thranduil was awaiting for Sawen to come in and sat himself down flicking pages through an old book. A knock came to the door and Sawen walked in. She bowed in front of the king and stood there.
He sighed "Sawen."
"Yes your highness."
"I think it's time I tell you about yourself. You don't know who you are."
She looked up at him confused and scared at the same time. "What do you mean?"
"Have you ever wondered why you feel so right here? In our world?. You feel at home here rather than that other world you've spent your life in don't you?"
She nodded.
"It's because you were born here." Thranduil told her everything about her past history and when he was finally finished Sawen was speechless. She didn't know whether to believe him or not, but somehow it all seemed true.
"I'm a goddess?"
"Yes. You are the future of this world and the gods will take you back to Valinor to rejoin with them after all these years."
"Do I have a choice? I mean I will be coming back thought right?"
The king gave a laugh in disbelief. "No Sawen, you won't be coming back after you leave. You don't have a choice."
"But I can't leave! I can't leave Legolas."
"You knew from the beginning this day would come! And it has come so you must go!"
"I'm a goddess right? So if I'm going to lead whatever then I should be where I want to be! You can't stop me!"
The king was outraged by this but calmed himself down. He knew he couldn't harm her or he would be punished. He sat himself down and sighed. "Sawen, you have no idea what your doing."
"I know. I'm not leaving."
"They will come after you. They won't stop till they have you back there."
"So be it. I don't care if they come after me. I'll tell them myself. I don't give a damn about it!" She was so angry at the moment. She found out all her life was a fake and this whole other world, being a goddess.
"If you don't go they will punish not only you." He stood up and walked slowly towards her.
"Are you scared they will hurt you?" She glared. "Are you trying to push me away so they don't come after y..."
"They will come after my son!! You're in love with my son and if they know your not leaving because of him they will kill him!"
"You're lying. The gods aren't that cruel. They can't kill Legolas. I won't let them!" She tried thinking realistically. It could be true. No no, I can't let him die because of me.
"They promised that if I find love...if Legolas says I lov...."
"It doesn't matter if he said that to you a thousand times. They are coming for you." Thranduil sat back down. At that very same moment someone overheard their conversation. Outside the courtyard Eldarwen heard the loud voices arguing and stepped closer to the glass windows of the library avoiding being seen.
"Do you love my son?" He asked politely.
"Yes."
"If you love him, then leave him now. Before the both of you get hurt. Your love for him will kill him. You realize I only want what's best for my son. You are not."
Sawen looked down at the floor. And suddenly ran out of the room. She had no choice now.
Eldarwen heard the whole thing and immediately went to Kenshyne and told him everything. "Kenshyne, you have to help find Legolas. Tell him everything."
"But you heard them, she has no way out."
"Dammit Kenshyne just do it!"
Meanwhile in Sawen's room.
She was sitting at the table. And she took out her small red notebook and wrote her last entry.
Dear diary,
Today I found out, a lot of things about myself that I never knew. I'm a goddess. I don't know if I should be happy or not. Most likely not. Legolas' father and I had a small talk. And now I know that if I don't leave the gods will punish Legolas. If I stay because of him they'll never forgive him. I can't let him die, so I decided to leave. I already feel weak, I don't know when I'm going to pass over to them. I'll finally get to meet my 'parents'. But to go I leave all this. I don't want to leave. I don't want to be a goddess. If I could I would give it up. But seeing as I can't, I have no reason to stay.
Sawen.
After she finished writing she ripped a page out and wrote another note addressed to Legolas. Then she closed the book and held it in her hands and as she left she placed the note on the bed.
Where Legolas is.
The prince was back at the ranges shooting arrows out of frustration. Then Kenshyne and Eldarwen reached him and told him about Sawen and the king but didn't get time to tell him about the other issues about her as a goddess as he ran passed them to his father. He rushed through the palace and slammed open the library doors seeing his father look up.
"What did you say to her!!!" He walked over raged with his father. "Tell me where she is!"
"Legolas. This is no way to speak with your father. Besides, I told her what she needed to know. I don't know where she went, and I do not want you to go looking for her! I forbid it!" He called as his son walked away. 3 guards stood at the door blocking the prince from exiting. "You stay right here." Thranduil said in a cold icy tone.
Legolas tried walking through the guards but they knocked him off. He had no way but to fight his way through. The first two guards grabbed him by the shoulders but he twisted his arm out and threw a punch right at the guard's face and knocked him down, then again at the other guard. He threatened to break the 3d guards neck when holding him down and so he let the prince walk pass.
He quickly ran for her room and opened the door but there was no one. The room felt hollow and cold. He saw a small piece of paper on the bed and picked it up. It read:
Dear LegolasBy the time you read this letter I will no longer be with you. I had to leave because well, it's complicated. I'm sorry. You showed me a life and I'll never forget you. I love you so much. I loved you from the day I met you. I wanted to tell you so that you would say the same, but I guess now I'll never hear those words. Please don't come after me, I don't want you to get hurt. After you read this note remember what I said, forget about me and move on. Find someone you love that you can share your life with that you can open up to and say I love you to them. I'll be happy for you. Thank you, you made me feel like a princess in a fairytale story and you really were my prince. But my story has ended and you will find a new princess, I know you will.
Love always, Sawen.
