#38 Sunset
Watching the sun's rays change colour from yellow, through orange, to deepest red as it drifted lower and lower down towards the tops of the trees Legolas leaned back into the firm body of the elf behind him, feeling comfortable and secure in the arms encircling his slender frame.
"It is beautiful, Ada." He breathed, almost afraid that his voice would break the spellbinding sight before him. "Hannon-Le."
"'tis beautiful indeed, tithen pen." Thranduil's breath tickled over the top of Legolas' ear as he whispered back. "I knew you would like it."
The leaves rustled around them as if in agreement and the royal pair smiled, savouring their moment of closeness.
It had taken moments only to climb up into the canopy, moments that Thranduil had determined to make time for out of his busy schedules to share this sight with his beloved son and now they were here, high above the Greenwood his heart filled with joy at seeing the awe in the elflings face.
"Aie!"
The sun finally dipped to touch the trees and for a moment it seemed the forest was set ablaze and the young prince exclaimed at the sight.
"Look Legolas, watch." The king smiled softly. "Annun or Eryn Galen."
As the pair reclined in harmony, their eyes fixed on the sight before them the fiery light began to die and gradually, one by one, as the sun disappeared stars began to glow like tiny embers in the darkening sky.
(Annun or Eryn Galen = Sunset over Greenwood the Great)
