Fast as the Wind

Laurelin

With a sigh I turned my gaze back to the moon. Again I vaguely wondered what Legolas had brought me. I hoped it hadn't been to hard to make like my bow but knowing Legolas like I did it was twice as intricate as the bow. Honestly intricacy didn't matter as long as it came from him. I also had to be on guard of my foolish heart, I couldn't have Legolas finding out I had fallen in love with him he probably still though I saw him as my childhood companion and if I had my way he would never think any different. Suddenly I heard Legolas talking but of course could never hear him approach. I turned to face him as he said,

"I hope that you like them Laurelin." He held a wrapped bundle in his hands. He held it out to me as if he were a naughty child surrendering his spoils to his mother. Gingerly I picked up the bundle and unwrapped it carefully seeing how much this obviously meant to my beloved elf. When I finally had the bundle unravelled what was in my hands were delicate elven daggers.

"Legolas by Elbereth of course I like them, they're beautiful thank you," I said still shocked at his gift.

"I had them commissioned so I didn't actually make them myself but I did design them with you in mind," he explained.

"Actually I'm glad you didn't make them I prefer you with two hands Legolas," I responded as began admiring the daggers. The sheaths were decorated with intricate elven swirls while the hilt had delicate vines swirling from top to bottom the butt of the daggers were shaped into rosebuds about to burst into bloom.

"Reveal the blades and gaze upon them for they are special as well," said Legolas. I did as I was bid pulling out one of the blades which was curved like Legolas' but unlike his these blades were more lengthy but had less width. Along the blade were wispy designs at my quizzical look Legolas spoke, "Those designs on the blade represent the whispers of the wind which travel faster than thought, one day you will be that fast Laurelin." I smiled and blushed as I moved to embrace him. The minute my arms closed around him I heard a familiar whistle and by my calculations it better not be what I thought it was. A resounding boom as Legolas closed his arms around me confirmed my suspicions, Legolas and I were bathed in a white glow as one of Gaddy's fireworks exploded in white brilliance and then faded back into darkness. I was going to kill her.

I grinned when I saw Laurelin's face go as red as fire when the party favor went off. The light had illuminated her face at the perfect moment. She was never going to forget this moment but she might just take it in her mind to kill me later but that was rather trivial to me. Getting them together was my goal, they truly deserved each other. Legolas had never found a she elf he wanted to marry and Laurelin had fallen hard for the princely elf when her hormones kicked in. At that moment amid my musing I noticed Laurelin searching the grounds and tree's probably for me. If she got a visual of me I could very well wind up with one of those elven daggers embedded in my butt. So when she turned back to Legolas I quickly dropped t the ground and disappeared into the night before I got caught and punished.
