Rei couldn't comprehend what was happening. Serena was acting strange ever since, well ever since she had first saw her again in Rivendell. Prophecies kept jumbling one after the other and there seemed to be no end!
It had been two days since they left Lothlorien. Two days since Serena had uttered those words in a voice that had sent shivers running along her back. Sitting in one of the boats that looked like swans, Rei contemplated about every event that had happened since then. So many questions and people suffering. Not a lot of answers and not a lot of healing. It was at times like this that Rei felt lost and drifting away from everything she knew.
"Hey Rei," came the voice of Ami's. "Don't you think it's too quiet?"
Rei perked up from her thoughts and looked around. Alert to her friend's observations, Rei noticed a stiffness in the air. Birds were not chirping and all that could be heard was the rowing of oars in the water. The remaining senshi saw to this and----
AN: Oh I know, I know. I'm unnaturally cruel and to cut off this fic at this point has a purpose! I need to say thank you to one of my reviewers by the name of blue4dogs. I understand now that there are many preferences of the people in the Fellowship and I thank you profusely for giving me more information. I'm not a great fanfic writer, I admit so I thank you for the added information about Legolas and the hobbits, etc. In this case, I'll make Legolas a blonde and mayhap in any later stories I'll change his hair colour to a darker shade. Now that I think about it, be right back.
Okay. In the Tolken Scrapbook (copyrighted 1978 by Running Press) in an article by Arthur R. Weir Legolas is described as a, and I quote: "...the deadly archer, the light-footed runner, who looks like a merry boy with a jest or song always on his lips"
It is possible that Legolas could have been a brunette! After all, he was a woodelf in Mirkwood and in that time, Mirkwood was overcast by shadow. Thranduil may have had blonde hair but what of his wife, Legolas' mother? She could have had dark hair or could have had blonde hair. It is assumed that Legolas had fair hair to go with his "fair" personality but of his features...that we're not certain of so I thank you blue4dogs for giving me an oppurtunity to mix things around in later fics. grins evilly with that said, that's all for now!
Legolas, the eyes of the Fellowship felt the same thing that many of the others were feeling. As he rowed down the river with Gimli and Serena as his charges, the feeling of being watched was not too far from his mind. Gimli grumbled from his position in the boat. He had been grumbling since coming out from Lothlorien. Serena was also unnaturally quiet. Since that day, she had uncharacteristically been quiet.
Nimithil. Legolas thought. Nimithil, where have I heard that name before?
