Chapter Thirty-Eight
A Long Awaited Chat
~~~POV-REYNA LINDELE~~~
Legolas had been gone for several minutes and I decided to go change into a dress. After all the years of being the unbroken tomboy I had finally fallen into their trap. I liked to wear them, I felt pretty when I did. Without a sound I slipped up the path and into my chambers by leaping onto my balcony. I quickly shed my leggings and tunic for a pastel dress that was shaded lilac, baby pink and baby blue.
The entire dress was made of chiffon. The top was tight fitting and had a v- shaped neckline. The sleeves separated into many separate folds at my shoulder. The bottom of the dress separated similarly at my mid-thigh and a baby pink slip continued on down. This was a Fae dress. Most she elves would despise it for the dress's color was made for a Fae woman's tanned skin and not a she elf's pale flesh. With a quickly glance in the mirror; I braided all my hair together and slipped quickly out of the palace and back down the path.
My hair went down to my shoulder blades in a sloppy braid that made my look like I had been running all day. It was a neat touch. I wondered what Legolas would think.
I sat on the edge of the riverbank, allowing the water to wash over my bare feet as I set my silver sandals on the ground beside me. The water was cool against my heated skin, like soft raindrops falling onto a thirsty plant. I lay down against the leafy forest floor and stared up at the thick canopy. Every so often, a ray of sun shone through the leafy canopy and illuminated the pollen floating through the air, as if it were glitter.
I began to recall the night I danced with Legolas in Glacia. I missed my home, and I wondered how well my people faired. I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn't notice Legolas walk up until long strands of his golden locks blocked my view of the canopy. A smile crept over my face, "Cormamin lindua ele lle." {My heart sings to see thee.}
Legolas laid a blanket down on the bank and patted the ground beside him, "Tula sinome." {Come here.} He examined every inch of my body thoroughly. I blushed brightly as his eyes met mine after their evaluation. Without a word, he smiled and patted the ground again.
I stood and walked over to sit next to him. He pulled out a small silver object. All along the silver object were holes, each spaced about a finger width apart. He blew into the mouthpiece and the most melodious tune came to my ears.
Out from the basket at his side, Legolas also pulled a wine flask. When he finished his lovely tune he motioned to me, "Malia ten' yulna?" {Care for a drink?}
I nodded and took a sip of the Mead. It met my lips and my throat was coated with its sweet flavor. Everything around my made this place and moment seem so unreal. I reached out and touched the tip Legolas's nose. "Lle 'naa' anwa." {You 'are' real.}
"Uma." {Yes.} An amused smile flitted on his lips. He looked so tempting. The long golden strands of his hair longed to be combed through. His soft, pink lips yearned to be kiss. I sat up and crawled towards him. I handed him the flask and leaned very close to him. His eyes lit with desire, and I assumed mine were much the same.
I ran my fingers from his hands, where I left the flask, up his arm and to his shoulders. I traced his collar and neck all the way up to his fine- boned face. I ran my fingers all the way up to the tip of his ears and he shivered lightly. Without warning I ran across the river and grinned at him. A large open field surrounded me.
He ran over in turn, and I backed away. He started to understand my wicked little game and he chased me. I took off. Running at full speed bare-footed and in a dress, I was quite the spectacle. The ribbon I had tied my hair with floated to the ground behind me and my chestnut locks began to flow apart from the braid that bound them. I glanced behind me to see how close Legolas was, but he was not there. Before I could turn again to look in front of me, I ran into something.
A soft exhale of breath came and I looked into Legolas's eyes. A smile crossed his moist lips, "Did I surprise you?"
I stood on my tiptoes, bringing my eye level to his lips and smiled, "Yes." My toes pressed into the moist green grass I stood on. The grass itself rose to my mid-calf and tickled my legs. I giggled and slipped lightly.
My elven friend caught my legs and hauled me into his arms. He softly kissed my forehead and smiled, "Where were you heading anyway, Aien?" {Short one.}
I gave him a scolding look, "I discovered a small cave near here when I rode in, I was going to look for it again, Hallaer." {Tall one.}
Legolas laughed, "You win Cathelle. You learned your elvish well Arwenamin." {My lady (quenya).}
Quickly, I slid from his grasp and ran eastward towards the location of my cave. I found it easily and Legolas followed. "Sinome." {Here.} I pointed to a large black hole shaded by an overhanging rock. I slipped in and followed the familiar path to a small stream. "This water is naturally warm."
A shy grin crossed the elf's face, "Amin elea." {I see.} He ran his fingers through the water as steam rose to meet him. He looked up at me as I removed my dress. All I wore was a small camisole and the baby pink slip that fell to my knees.
His bright blue eyes lit with desire. I blushed and leaped in. My baby pink camisole clung to my body, and my pink slip followed suit.
Legolas quickly removed his tunic and dove in. The water was plenty deep. I watched his ivory skinned form swim through the water gracefully. He came up inches away from me. I smiled, "Amin m..." {I l..."
A pale finger reached my lips, "Shh. Do not say it unless you mean it with all your heart."
I nodded, "Amin mela lle." {I love you.} I took his hand and kissed it softly as my eyes never left his sight.
He smiled, "Ar' amin mela lle vithel." {And I love you also.} He kissed my caramel skin softly. I felt a buzz flutter through my body. Suddenly I could see him looking at me, but I did not look as dull as I always saw myself. I was radiant and beautiful. At first I was confused, but as I felt strong emotions of desire and love flow through my mind I realized I was in his mind and experiencing what he was experiencing.
~~~POV CHANGE-LEGOLAS GREENLEAF~~~
I felt an odd sensation, like a wave of warm water crashing over my completely nude body. Suddenly I could see my own reflection and hear things and think things I could not possibly know. I glanced away from myself and saw several things.
Three paths stood before me. The path on the right was stark white, and nothing was visible past it. The path straight ahead was filled with lush blossoms and green grass. The road on the left caused me to shiver and the hair on my neck rise. Thick blackish-purple mist covered all that the eye could see. Darkness was all that emitted from this path. I heard shrill screams from that path and stepped towards it.
Suddenly, I was thrown back into my own mind with such force that I fell backwards. "Mani nae tanya?" {What was that?}
Her voice was trembling but cold, "Nothing. Don't ever do that again."
My blue eyes lit with concern, "Mankoi? Mani nae tanya?" {Why? What was that?}
Cathelle took a deep breath, "According to my study of the bonding between lovers, a true bond allows both partners to see the others mind. The mind is split into three paths: the past, present and future, though the future is often clouded from view."
Two thoughts zipped through my head. 'She said true bond...is she implying the same thing I am?' The second thing that made my head spin was the realization that the dreadful path I had seen in her mind was her past. "What happened to you to make that path so black and horrific?"
Reyna shied away as she looked into my eyes, "The past is irrelevant to us. We are now, and we are the future." Her grey eyes struggled to hide her pain as they shone with love.
I ran my fingers through her loose chestnut locks, "If you say so. Though, I want you to know, I will always be here for you to talk to."
My kitten smiled, "Of course I know that." With that she stood on her tiptoes and gave me a quick peck on the lips before running back across the stream and up the path.
As I watched her fade from view, my stomach and heart felt giddy. I wanted to dance, shout and sing all at once. I was so happy that I ran back across the stream, grabbed what I had brought down and Reyna's boots, and skipped up to find a certain ring I was to cowardly to get during my last trip.
