Chapter 3 The dream.

It took time for Legolas finally fall asleep, even with Miawynn wrapped in his arms, what he had been told about the disappearance of the other Elves had disturb him a great deal. Knowing that he could have done little about it did not help him, and although his father had been here to protect Miawynn he still felt the guilt at leaving her here alone. Finally sleep did catch him.

Legolas knew he was dreaming yet at the same time it felt totally different to a normal dream, the wood he was walking through was totally different from any other that he had ever known. The trees greeted him in a language that he didn't know but some how was familiar to him even though he could not clearly understand what they were trying to tell him. In a slight daze he carried on walking he way through the trees making his way towards the sound of running water the trees suddenly cleared and found the sound came from a small stream running quickly into a large lake, the large body of water reflected the white fluffy clouds above. Legolas felt a strange kind of peace come over him as he looked out at still waters of the lake. He jumped over the small stream that had led him here and continued to walk around the beach of this strange place. He nearly did not see the three figures in front of him, when he did one broke away from the group and started walk towards him as he did the other two faded away. Legolas stopped walking not in any kind of fear or mistrust he just did not think that he was suppose to go any further. The figure quickly closed the gap between them it was only then that he realised who it was, a smile stretched across his face.

"You're late," The figure said. Then he pulled him into a bear huge.

"Estel!" Legolas voice was filled with wonder as he hugged back the man he thought that he would never see again.

They moved away from the lake slightly and sat on a grass bank.

"Is Miawynn well?" Estel asked him in concern.

"Yes she is," He told him. A look of relief passed over the mans face. He then turned to him, "you know that something is wrong?"

"Yes," He sighed. "What do you know of it?"

"Unfortunately no more than you do," Estel told him. Legolas nodded.

"Gandalf is out searching but has not yet returned," Estel looked out over the lake and his eyes became a mystery.

"A time will come when everything seems at its darkest," He said softly. "You kept your word and due to that sacrifice, help will come,"

"What is to happen?" Legolas asked him quickly.

"What I do know I cannot say," He gripped Legolas's shoulder. "believe me if I could I would,"

"I believe that," Legolas replied. Estel turned him to face him.

"I tell you truly," He said to him. "All you have to do is call me, I promise to be there to help,"

The area began to fade causing him to wake suddenly, but a voice still called to him

"Remember to call me,"

Sorry chapter so short.

I know that some will complain at how this is going, but hey! Its my story. I have tired hard not to make Miawynn a Mary Sue, but at times I think that any woman alive and breathing can be called that. The story is however written and will be going up regular. Many thanks Alison.
