Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
The sun will rise
Note: some quotes from this part are from John Steinbeck's Pastures of Heaven....Molly Morgan
"So how are you feeling," Arwen asked as she walked around outside with Alisa.
"Better, I still do not know what happened. But I guess that is good not to know," she said. Her thoughts traveled to her mother again, of her dieing, an image she had in her mind when she was out.
"Thinking of your mother again," Arwen stated, "you have that look…"
"I can not forget her face when she died," Alisa cried, a few tears falling from her eyes.
"Let go of the past, I know it is killing you inside, your mother, and what someone did to your wrist," she paused for a moment to wait for a few elves to pass. "Your life is still bound up with the life of Gondor. There are people there in whom you are interested." (Steinbeck)
"Stop telling me I have to forget my past. I cannot, everyone is trying to take away my past from me, it is a part of me, weather I like it or not. If I forget about my past, I forget about my future. These things in my past are teaching me a lesson, I am looking back and growing up, not matter how much it hurts." She explained.
"Listen," Arwen said stopping to face Alisa. "You walk around like you are dieing, which I think you are. It is ok to think about the past, but think about the good times, not the bad, it is killing you."
Alisa stopped to think for a moment then looked up at Arwen. "What is life them, if it is not your past or future…what is it?"
"Family, friends, nature, everything around us," she said.
"I shudder at the thought of the meaninglessness of life…"(Steinbeck)
"Alisa your fourteen years old, barley beginning to live you should not to be thinking like this…" Arwen yelled.
"I am fourteen barley beginning life, but seen things that you don't see when your fourteen," she yelled, then walked off leaving Arwen by herself.
"I wish I could go somewhere where no one knows me," Alisa cried and she stormed into her room in Rivendell.
"Everyone knows you. An heir of Gondor," Aragorn said stepping into the room. He hide behind the shadows from the curtains.
"I wish I could go on an adventure, get my mind off of things," she said sitting on the bed.
"Your time will come, are times will come when we can live a normal life," he said.
"You will marry Arwen," the young girl laughed, "I will live off of the land, maybe learn to ride a horse…..mother always love to ride horses."
"Yes I know, always going off into the wild…"
"…not a care in the world," Alisa finished.
"Yes, you look so much like her,"
"And you do not," Alisa laughed.
"Yes I know what they say, I look nothing like you, but I see it, you see it…" he paused a moment to look at his sister. "Your birthday is coming up, I think we should have a party…"
"We had one last year, to many years for a party for everyone," she laughted.
"Yes but I think it will be good for you. We will have one when we return to Gondor in a few days…"
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Ever as before the sun will rise
Tale as old as time…
-Ever just the same…
I know this was short....I promise the next one will be longer....
