Disclaimer: I own none of Tolkien's work. I do not claim to. I am not that talented. That's settled then.
Additional Information: Aragorn and Arwen really had a son named Eldarion and several other daughters. However, Eldarion was the oldest, whereas in my story I've made Elemariel the oldest. I just like it like that.
Yet another note: Elemariel is not the main character of this story. It may seem that she is, but she's not. Elemariel is NOT supposed to be me. I just like the name, so I used it in the story. Elemariel and Legolas are NOT in love. They are friends. I can't picture Legolas with some girl, and I don't plan to picture it for one of my stories. Now that all that is squared away, on with the story.
Eldarion woke in a sweat. He had had the dreams again. The same dreams he had every night. He was looking into Galadriel's mirror. He saw every member of his family lying motionless on the stone floor. But tonight another part was added. He saw the family's friends as well. Legolas, Faramir, Eomer, Eowyn, Gimli, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry. They were all there, lying in the same motionless trance that he had seen his family lying in. They weren't dead. He could see their shallow breathing. But when he tried to wake them, nothing happened. Eldarion slid out of bed and walked to his sister's room. She was still awake working on her book. He crawled into her queen-sized bed. She turned to speak to him.
"Eldarion, why are you still awake?" Elemariel asked him.
"I had those dreams again. But this time they went farther." he told her.
"How so?"
"I saw all of our friends lying in the same trance."
"Look, Eldarion, these dreams don't mean anything. They certainly don't mean that it's going to happen. You've got to understand that dreams are dreams. They're just a bunch of colors trying to make sense."
"I know you're right, but I can't help thinking that they've got to mean something. Most repetitious dreams do, don't they?"
"Yes, they mean that the things that appear in the dreams are related to the thoughts you had before you went to sleep. Eldarion, it's as simple as that."
"Okay, whatever you say. I'll talk to Legolas. He's more help than you."
Eldarion got up to leave.
"Eldarion, wait!" Elemariel said to his retreating back.
