Chapter Fifteen wow, I've written quite a bit!
Tears of Truth and Trust
~~~POV-LEGOLAS GREENLEAF~~~
As she opened the door she murmured, "Here goes nothing."
The door opened and my eyes widened in awe. Her dress was amazingly beautiful; her hair was up in tight curls yet parts cascaded down her lovely shoulders. Her eyes twinkled with merriment and she smiled; "Hir Legolas?"
I bowed; leaning my entire waist over as was proper to a queen. She blushed and I smiled; "HÃril?" I offered her my right arm and she took it with a light blush. We walked towards Lady Arwen and Lord Aragorn's chambers. I nocked, "Aragorn, are you and your lady ready?"
I heard Arwen shuffle to the door, "Legolas, Lady Reyna, come in." I smiled as I examined her pale blue dress. It was an empire waist to support the babe. It looked very well on her; it was amazing how she still managed to sustain that earthly glow of an elf while under such stress. I kissed her hand gently in greeting as Aragorn walked around the corner. He wore a pair of black leggings, black boots, and a navy blue shirt adorned with sapphires. His hair was brushed back and he had shaved his beard off.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise, "Well if it isn't Lord Aragorn. Quite a change you have undergone I see." He laughed, offered Arwen his arm and we departed.
The ballroom was exquisite and many other Fae were gathered around one table drinking and laughing. When we entered the ballroom every Fae and every male stood. There were about fifty Fae women, and maybe twenty males of different races, presumably their mates. Every Fae bowed her head and every male genuflected as she walked by. I laughed, "You're quite the celebrity here." She blushed and when we reached the end table she turned.
She smiled, "Roma." {Rise.} All the men stood and all the women raised their heads. She smiled, "Lye salka." {We dance.} Many cheers rang out as music started to play, it wasn't like elven music, and it was faster. I watched Fae dance with their mates, they all danced in what seemed to be an invisible square. I looked puzzled I assume for Reyna asked me a question. "Have you never waltzed Prince Legolas?" I glanced over at Aragorn trying to teach Arwen; at least I was not the only one.
I shook my head, "Not to my recollection. I do not recall such a dance, though I think it exquisite."
She smiled and took both of my hands. She placed one on her hip and the other in hers. This dance was much more intimate than those of the elves. She placed her other hand on my shoulder and led my light feet around for three steps, twirled and then repeated. I smiled; this was not too difficult.
I spun her twice one time, for she was so light on her feet that it looked like she was floating. As we danced, our eyes rarely leaving one another's, gold tinsel started to rain down. Reyna laughed, "That is a warning, the song will change. Silver is waltz, and gold is just a slower more swaying dance." The music changed quickly yet no one was confused, gold glitter now sparkled in Reyna's hair. She pulled me closer, putting both my arms around her waist and both her arms around my neck. She was right up against me now.
I smiled, "Cathelle, lle naa vanima." {You are beautiful.} She flushed as I continued, "Ar amin merna sint tanya amin ilmiqule inya n'ala; tanya nae ilamin lle elea." {I want you to know that I have never kissed a girl before; that was not me you saw.} Her eyes darkened and I tightened my grip around her waist. "I believe it was your father. He too has golden locks, is about six foot and wears the tunic of a Mirkwood elf. You must believe me, I would never kiss a she-elf, and they make me sick. Always running after me like wild animals, it is certainly not attractive."
She giggled as her filled with the realization of how wrong she had been. She clung closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder, "Amin hiraetha, mellamin." {I am sorry, my love.} My cheeks rushed with color as she called me this.
I smiled, "All is well Cathelle." She giggled and we danced for about two more songs, laughing as the confetti fell, and then went to sit with Arwen. Arwen and Aragorn had danced two dances before Arwen was forced to sit down. Reyna sat next to her and they talked mutedly.
I sat next to Aragorn, both of us drinking the sweet wine offered to us. I looked over at Reyna, "Cathelle, what kind of wine is this?"
She smiled, "That is strawberry wine fermented with honey and sugar."
I smiled, "Its flavor is superb, like no elven wine I have tasted anyway." She smiled and went back to talking with Arwen. I looked to Aragorn, "Have you chosen a name for your babe?"
He laughed, "I told Arwen since she must carry it for fifteen months that she could name him or her when he or she comes into being."
I laughed, "Fair enough my friend. Which do you hope for, a son or daughter?"
Aragorn shrugged, "A daughter as fair as Arwen would be a challenge to raise though a boy with my spirit and her abilities would be equal trouble, not to mention the trouble he would have with she-elves."
I chuckled lightly, "You have no idea." He gave me an odd look and shrugged. I continued, "They never stop following you, one after another like dogs in heat."
He almost spit out his wine, "Has the alcohol affected your thinking Legolas?"
I shrugged, "There is no other way to word their behavior my friend."
Aragorn laughed and Arwen stood weakly, "Aragorn, may we retire?"
Aragorn smile, "Of course Arwen." He turned to me, "Enjoy yourself my friend."
I flushed lightly, "Quel du." {Good night.} Aragorn put his arm around Arwen's waist and the two headed out of the ballroom. I looked over to Reyna shyly, "Well?"
A mischievous light sparked in her eyes, "Come with me." We headed down the hall to her quarters. She went into her room and emerged in a pair of black leggings and a red camisole.
"What is your plan o so impish one?"
She giggled, "Formal dancing is no fun. Hurry!"
I rolled my eyes, "Cathelle!" I hurried after her as we ran out of the bastion and into the refreshing evening breeze.
She took my hand, "Close your eyes and listen." She dragged me blindly through the forest; my ears were my only sense of safety. I heard her breathing and footsteps; that too comforted me. Finally she stopped. She turned, "Open your eyes Legolas."
We were in a lush clearing; I had no idea how far into the woods we were but it was beautiful. Shining stars and an iridescent moon lit the clearing. An unmoving pool of the clearest water reflected the moon and stars. She took my hand and danced with me.
She smiled, "This in my place, no one knows of it but us. I used to come here as a girl and swim or lay here thinking until I was at peace again. No one ever found this place but I." Small wooden stumps were set up like chairs and a fire pit rested between the chairs.
As I swayed with her in a soft circle she began to hum. She was timidly quiet at first but her song grew louder until we danced to it as though it were a voice from the heavens. Finally she ended her ballad and smiled. She slipped off her small boots and ran over to the pool. She leaped in, "Come on, it is warm?"
She smiled invitingly. I sighed, removed my tunic and boots so that they would not be ruined, and jumped in. I smiled, "Happy?" She nodded, swimming over to me.
~~~POV CHANGE-REYNA~~~
I tried not to stare at his built form; his muscular chest was enticing. I sighed, "Ikotane ina hiramin." {Very happy my lord.} He blushed lightly in the moonlight. I sat on the bed of the shallower portion of the pool. I admired his built form and smiled, "Legolas?" My eyes turned serious, "I am so sorry that I did not believe you. I know now how foolish and overemotional I was."
Legolas swam over to me gracefully. He sat down next to me and put an arm around my waist. He smiled, "No harm done. I understand that you had little reason to trust me." I looked into his eyes and noticed a hopeful glimmer of emotion. I stared at them intently for a few minutes and then glanced down at his lips. I leaned closer to him.
"REYNA!!" An echoing yell boomed from the bastion, it was Arwen.
I gasped, "The child!" Legolas stood swiftly and put on his tunic. I pulled my shoes on and sprinted through the forest with Legolas.
~~~END~~~
