Chapter 8
Tari slowly sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She turned to see Legolas still watching her. She took a hold of his hands. “Please tell me.” She said quietly.
Legolas looked down at her hands holding his. “We have known each other since we were children.” He began. “Three summertides ago, my father and I traveled to the kingdom of Dorthonian. That is where your home is.” He said looking at her.
Tari looked up at him, her eyes pleading with him to continue.
“We were promised to each other that summer.” He said his eyes searching hers.
“Promised?” she questioned. Legolas nodded.
“To be joined as husband and wife.” He said moving his hands so that they covered hers.
“Did we love each other?” she asked.
“We did.” He said smiling at her.
Tari stood and walked to a window. She let her hands part the sheer curtains and looked out. She felt tears form in her eyes. “I have no memory of Dorthonian.” She said in a whisper. She turned to look at him. “Or of a love that we shared. I’m sorry.”
Legolas quickly moved to her side. “You don’t have to be sorry Tari.” He said taking her hands and kissing her knuckles. “I know this is all so sudden for you and I know this is all a shock to you.”
“It is.” Tari said quietly.
“Do you remember anything?” he asked gently.
Tari sighed and looked at him. “The only thing I remember is men laughing at me. Laughing and pointing at me.” She said hanging her head as if in shame.
Legolas lifted her face to his. “Anything else?” Tari shook her head.
“No, I don’t.” she said bursting into tears. She tried to pull away from him but he would not relinquish his hold on her. He pulled her into his arms as she cried.
“Shhh, it will be alright.” He whispered into her hair. He inhaled the scent of her. Relished the feel of her in his arms. He had been lost without her for so long. “You have nothing to fear here. I will protect you. As will Aragorn and Gimli. I will never let anyone hurt you again.” he promised to her. He needed to find out what had happened to her. And then help heal her pain.
Tari clung to him. Being in his arms made her feel safe. Her sobs subsided and she pulled away slightly to look up at him. Her eyes moved to look at the necklace he wore once again. She reached up to touch it. Her slender fingers gliding over the teardrop. “This is beautiful.”
Legolas reached up and undid the clasp and placed it around her neck. She tried to protest but he didn’t listen. “It is yours. And now it is back where it belongs.” He took her hands in his and kissed her knuckles before pulling her back into his arms. “I gave it to you before my father and I left to return to Mirkwood. You promised that you would wear it until your dying day. That you would never take it off.”
Tari reached up and touched the pendant with her fingers again. Feeling the warmth of it from being next to him. Her eyes filled with tears once again and she looked up at him. “Will you help me?” she asked in a whisper.
“Help you?” he asked gently as he caught her falling tears on his thumbs.
“Help me remember who I am? My life.” She pleaded with him. “Our life.”
Legolas smiled at her. “I can think of nothing I’d like more my falmarin.”
Tari looked at him. “Sea spirit? Why do you call me that?”
“Because that is what I called you. You loved the water. You were very happy in a pool of water.” Legolas said rubbing her cheek with his hand. “My sea spirit.”
Tari closed her eyes at his touch and sighed heavily. “You make me feel safe Legolas.” She said resting her head on his chest. “I want so much to know who I am.”
Legolas took her hand and led her to the window seat and sat down and pulled her against him. It seemed as if they were a perfect fit.
“Aragorn is going to send word out to rangers to see if we can figure out what happened in Dorthonian.” He said gently.
He felt her body stiffen and he rubbed her shoulders. “I will tell you all I know soon.” he said kissing the top of her head. “Now, I think, if you are up to it, we should join the others for dinner.”
Tari turned to look at him. She reached up to his face again. “Do you still love me?” she asked in a whisper.
Legolas took her hand and kissed her palm. “Until the day the I die.”
“I’m so scared Legolas.” She said, her voice shaking. “I want to remember our love. I want to remember everything that made us happy, but I don’t know if I want to remember the bad things. I know about the scars on my back. But I do not know how or when I received them.” she said as she could not stop the tears from falling once again. She clutched at his arms. “I am so frightened.”
“We will find everything we need to know Tari.” He said gently. “Together. You have no reason to be frightened any longer. We have found each other and our love will prevail.”
Tari nodded and slowly stood. Legolas laced his fingers with hers together they made their way to the dining hall.
Aragorn, Arwen and Gimli stood as they entered. Tari blushed and curtseyed to them and Legolas bowed.
“Come.” Aragorn said smiling at them.
Legolas led Tari to a chair and held it for her as she sat down. He took the seat next to her and the servants began to serve the food.
“Princess Tari.” Aragorn began. “I have sent word for the ranger Theron to be brought to Gondor so that he might be questioned.”
Tari held up her hand. “Please sire, I am simply Tari, not princess. I do not feel like a princess.” she said quietly.
Aragorn looked at Arwen who nodded. “You are of royal blood Tari, but we will request your wishes.” she said gently.
Tari smiled at the queen who had become very close to her. “Thank you my lady.”
Conversations were kept muted. Nothing in regards to the past were discussed as to not upset Tari. She turned her head to see Legolas watching her. He smiled at her and she returned his smile. He picked up her hand and kissed it.
“Everything will be fine falmarin.” he said gently. He noticed that she had not eaten much. “Are you not hungry?”
“Not very.” she said. “I’m sorry.”
Legolas smiled. “You have no need to be sorry. Shall I make our excuses?”
“Please.” she said in a whisper. She wanted to run away from everything. She was so frightened of what the future held, but more frightened of the past and of what happened to her.
Legolas studied her face and could see the turmoil in it. He leaned towards her. “Come. We will make our leave.” he stood up and reached for her hand. Tari clutched it in her own.
Legolas turned to Aragorn and bowed from the waist. “If you will excuse us my lord, we will make our leave for the evening.”
Araogorn nodded and watched as the couple left the dining hall.
“She is as frightened as a rabbit.” Gimli said watching his friend and his lady.
“Can you blame her Gimli?” Arwen asked.
“No, I cannot. Something terrible happened to her.” Gimli said, still watching Legolas and Tari. “But I think our young friend will put some happiness back into her life.”
Tari slowly sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She turned to see Legolas still watching her. She took a hold of his hands. “Please tell me.” She said quietly.
Legolas looked down at her hands holding his. “We have known each other since we were children.” He began. “Three summertides ago, my father and I traveled to the kingdom of Dorthonian. That is where your home is.” He said looking at her.
