A/N: Thanks again to Megan Ishiro for reviewing! I know the chapters are short, but the story is already written. I'll try to update as quickly as I can to make up for the shortness of the chapters.
Chapter 2
Girithfen walked up above deck two days later, and the moonlight splashed upon her. She gazed up at the star-filled sky, and her eyes turned to the pale moon above her. A light breeze blew her long brown hair around her face. She wondered if Legolas was looking at the moon as she was. Gentleness filled her when she realized that she and Legolas may be miles apart, but that they were still under the same sky.
She gazed across the sea, and it sparkled under the light of the moon. The soft voices of Elves filled her ears as they sang songs of new beginnings, new friends, and new places. She walked over to the group and began to sing along with them, as she continued to gaze at the velvety-black water in front of her.
When they ceased their singing, Girithfen walked over to the Elf at the wheel of the ship.
"How long until we arrive?" she asked.
"Four days, if the weather keeps calm as it has," replied the Elf. Girithfen smiled and strolled away, ready for some rest.
As she lay down on her bed, she gazed out the small window in her chamber, where a small sliver of the moon was visible.
Resting her hands on her stomach, she closed her eyes, and Legolas's face immediately appeared in front of her. She saw him as he she had when she had first seen him…galloping off on his horse, into the trees. His hair was illuminated in the bright sunshine, and Girithfen felt herself smile as she watched him.
But suddenly her dream changed…the sky darkened into night, and lightning flashed, followed by booming thunder. She saw Legolas aiming his bow, shooting at Orcs and Uruk-hai who were charging at him. Screaming and yelling filled her ears, and she saw fire…fire everywhere. Then suddenly the Great Eye was before her, and she felt her soul turn to ice. Despair swept over her, and she felt tears sting her eyes.
Then there was a loud crashing noise, and the tower began to crumble, and the Eye atop it was dimming. Dust and ash filled the air as the tower collapsed, and she could see the Orcs and Uruk-hai scattering every which way. They fell into massive cracks that seemed to be splitting the whole of Middle-Earth into pieces.
With a thundering crash, the last bit fell, and the ground trembled below her. She turned and saw Legolas standing next to a Man, and she knew it was Aragorn, the heir of Gondor. She saw a Dwarf, and she wondered if that was the Dwarf that Legolas was traveling with.
Legolas was shielding his eyes with his hand, as he and the others stared at the pile of ruins. Girithfen heard the explosion of Mount Doom behind her, and she turned to look. Bright orange lava spewed from the top. As it gave another explosion, Girithfen turned to look at Legolas again…
Girithfen sat up in bed, her eyes wide. A sweat had broken over her brow, and she was breathing rapidly. Her eyes turned to her window, but the moon could no longer be seen. She wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks and she took a deep breath. All weariness had drained from her, and she knew she would not be able to go back to sleep. So instead she crawled out of bed and pulled her cloak on.
She made her way back up on deck, and smiled when she saw she was alone. She glided over to the railing, and put her hands on it. The air was silent except for the gentle lapping of the water upon the ship. Little did she know that miles away Legolas was doing the same, unable to sleep due to the same dream.
Aww! Sorry again for the shortness. I hope you liked it, and thanks for reading!
