Chapter Two
The Truth
"What do you mean you're not of Mirkwood?" asked Lamenon, getting to his feet. "I've known you my whole life. We grew up together."
"I don't know," said Barawen, turning toward the door. "But I'm going to find out."
"Where are you going?"
"To talk to king Thranduil," she said, pulling open the door and walking into the stone corridor.
"Why would he know what happened?" asked Lamenon, hurrying after her. "And how do you know that this dream was actually true?"
"It's a message. I don't know how I know it is, I just feel it. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough," said Barawen, approaching a large engraved wooden door that lead into the throne room. She knocked on it gently, and an Elf about her age with blond hair and bright blue eyes opened it.
"Barawen, Lamenon, this is a surprise," he said, looking from one Elf to the other.
"Prince Legolas," said Barawen as she and Lamenon bowed.
"You know I don't like it when you do that, mellon nin," said Legolas shortly.
"Sorry, Legolas," said Barawen with a smile. "May we speak to your father?"
Legolas opened the door wider to let them pass. And king Thranduil rose to greet them. "Lamenon, Barawen," he said, "to what may I owe this honor."
The two Elves bowed again. "The honor is ours, king Thranduil," said Lamenon.
"I have come to request an explanation," said Barawen, stepping forward. "Why didn't you tell me I wasn't from Mirkwood."
"Goheno nin Barawen," he said softly, sitting back down. "I didn't want to tell you about how we found you until we knew who and where your parents were." (Forgive me)
"You could have told me," said Barawen. "I would have wanted to and still want to know where I came from. And if you don't know I'll find out myself." She turned and walked quickly out the door and down the corridor toward her room.
"Barawen," called Lamenon, hurrying after her. He found her putting a waterskin and small packets of Lembas bread into a small waist pouch. "Your leaving then," he said softly.
"I need to find out where I came from," she said, putting the pouch around her waist and attaching her sheath to the leather strap.
"Then I'm coming with you," he said.
"Why," she asked, looking into his eyes.
"You know it isn't safe for anyone to wander Mirkwood alone," he said, kissing her gently on the cheek.
"You don't have to do this," Barawen said, sitting down on her bed.
"I want to go with you," Lamenon said, sitting down next to her.
"Gen hannon o guren," Barawen said as she and him kissed. (I thank you from my heart)
