Legolas was still wandering through the forest, his breathing was very shallow and he looked deadly pale. /I must get to the open spot at the river Sirith/ Legolas was thinking

That open spot was the most beautiful sight of all Middle-Earth. There was a little waterfall, water as clear as the sky, trees that stood high and proud, small creatures who lived in harmony and so on . . . Aragorn and Legolas came here often when they were little, they played hide and seek or talked to the trees. They had met for the first time there, when Legolas had run away from his father and his guards, he had bumped into Aragorn at the river. That's where they became friends.

Over the years it became a tradition for the two to meet each other there at least once a year. So they had a private place to talk about,. . . well about just everything!

Legolas found this the perfect place to die. They first met here and here he would say his last goodbye to Aragorn and the world.

The pain in his chest increased with every step he took, he began to walk faster and faster, he HAD to get there in time.

Minas Tirith

Aragorn was pushing the people aside, asking if anyone knew where Legolas was. The man was getting nervous, he had to find his true love, before it was too late. Aragorn was so in thought, that he ran right into Gandalf. "Calm down my young friend, where's the fire?" Gandalf asked with a big smile upon his face.

"Gandalf, oh, I'm glad to see you! Do you know where Legolas is?" the smile that covered Gandalf's face, suddenly disappeared. "Follow me, young one" the wizard said. He turned and left the feast, with Aragorn following him on his tail. The two stopped at the thrown room and went inside. "You might want to sit down Aragorn."

The man slowly got seated, afraid for what he was about to hear.

"Aragorn, I don't think this is new for you, but I'll repeat it anyway. Elves only know one true love, because they love someone with whole their heart. When their love should die, or he doesn't return the feeling, they can and will die of grief. I'm afraid that's what's happening to our dear elf. He loves you Aragorn! I've seen it in his eyes for so many times. Legolas was silently waiting for you to return his love and when you finally did that during the quest, he was the happiest elf I knew. But eventually when the quest was ended, you had to bury your love away from him, I know that Aragorn. But are you really going to let him die of a broken heart ?

Aragorn blinked away a tear. "Gandalf, I still love him, but what about my people? They have high expectations of me".

"My friend, the people of Gondor know you! They know that your are a great leader and that they will follow you! Don't doubt their allegiance towards you."

Aragorn was speechless for a moment. . . But Gandalf knew what he was thinking.

"My friend, the eveningstar will be all right! She loves you, yes, so she will let you go, to follow your own path!"

"Your right Gandalf! Now come one, we must hurry or else it will be too late. Tell me, where is he ?" he asked with a slight of hope in his voice.

"Aragorn I cannot help you with this quest, it's your quest and yours only. But I will tell you this: Look deep into the history of your heart and figure out where it lay and you'll know where to find him!"

Aragorn was pacing the room, thinking about the riddle. He just couldn't understand it:

/'Look deep into the history of your heart and figure out where it lay and you'll know where to find him' what the hell was that supposed to mean ? . . . WAIT , my heart, well my heart is with Legolas ! And the past, Hmm in the past we were little ! 'Lay' , think Aragorn, think, at what could it refer? Of course I met Legolas at the river Sirith, that's where I will find him/

As fast as a dear, he ran of.

In the woods

Legolas was dragging his body forward, slowly he put one foot for the other. He had been walking all evening now and his body was very tired. Suddenly his body protested to go any further and he crashed onto the ground. For a minute his eyes were closed, but they shot immediately wide open.

/I have to get there, it's not far! I've got to get there for Estel. I want to tell the trees and the water, at that spot, how much I love him. So my love will remain on this Earth forever. MY love for Estel./

With the little strength he had left, he pushed himself back up and started walking again.

It seamed like hours before he reached the river, when it actually took him only a couple of minutes. He went sitting right in front of the water. Legolas looked at himself and the only thing he could do, was cry! He forgot all his pride and stubbornness for once. Now it was time to let his true feelings show. But then, everything became blurry, he could no longer see the trees. He knew what was happening and began to sing a song he learned a long time ago:

"Maybe I'm crazy, Oh it's crazy and it's true,

I know you can save me,

no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,

As long as the stars are burning,

As long as your dreams are coming true –

You better believe it! –

I wish I was the one for you "

Slowly his vision went black and the only thing he could say was: " Namaarie Estel, Meleth-nin, I love you" before his whole world went dark.

Darkness had taken him. . .
