Chapter 7
Elaine jumped at the sound of the soft melodic voice behind her and turned around abruptly. Her heart began its wild race at the sight and she pushed herself up to run away.
“I will not hurt you, my lady. The Prince has given us strict orders that we let you free.” Adanoth said to calm the girl down and smiled when he saw her relax and sit back down.
He sat down next to her and looked at the sea. He had hoped he would find her. He needed to make her come back. Even just for one visit. Then “things would evolve naturally”, as the Lady had put it. And apart from that, Legolas was a good friend of his and it pained his heart to see him so sad. Since Elaine had left, he had locked himself in his study, coming out only to attend important meetings and assume his duties as a Prince. Then the Marchwarden of Lórien had paid Adanoth an unexpected visit to deliver a message from his Lady that requested his presence in the Golden Wood.
He had been alarmed. Rarely did the Lady of Light send Haldir as a messenger, unless there were important matters. And he did not tell him a word on what it was about, until they had reached the Golden Wood, which had been rebuilt in Lim Aear. Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn had chosen to rebuilt Lothlórien at the east side of the lake, away from the city, but the communication between the two kingdoms was frequent and in good spirits.
The Lady had summoned him for a private talk. “I have looked into my mirror”, she had said. “You need to make her come back, Adanoth. You know of whom I speak. It is destiny that brought them together. She needs to set him free and he will free her in turn. We cannot go against it, or Lim Aear will have to find another Prince.” Adanoth had flinched at the hidden meaning behind her words. What role could that mortal girl play in the Prince’s life? Was Legolas destined to die? Could she be his other half and savior? But she was mortal! He sighed thinking of the cruel game the Valar were playing to his friend.
Elaine was tense. She looked over at the black haired elf. How old could he be? He looked not more than 25. She had never noticed him coming. He had made no sound and he seemed to melt with the shadows. When she had first turned around to look at him, she had barely been able to see who he was… But when he stepped under the moonlight, she thought she recognized the lean figure. His words had confirmed her guess and they calmed her down considerably. She was not scared of him anymore. He had stated clearly they were not chasing her. He looked as gentle as the Prince, but he still made her uncomfortable. He was not human, after all! She cleared her throat to gain his attention.
He turned and looked at her smiling. She was indeed beautiful. Magnificent sparkling green eyes, long, thick eyelashes, golden skin and full lips. No wonder the Prince had fallen for her so quickly.
“I had been looking for you, my lady.”
“Please call me Elaine… or El... whatever you wish, but not ‘my lady’. I am not worthy of such a title.”
Adanoth raised an eyebrow.
“You speak low of yourself, Elaine. THIS is what you are not worthy of.”
She shrugged and mumbled “Whatever”. She wouldn’t be able to make him understand anyway.
“Why were you looking for me?”
“My reason involves the Prince.”
Elaine’s heart jumped at the mention of him and her eyes lit up. She tried to look nonchalant.
“What about him?”
“He was extremely saddened of your departure and has been unwell the past few days.”
Adanoth allowed a small, satisfied smile at the sight of her concerned face.
“What do you mean unwell?”
“Well, he has locked himself in his study and wears himself off by not eating and sleeping…-”
“Why…?”
Elaine cut him off. Could it be because of her?? But that was impossible! Stop dreaming, El!
“Maybe you should come and ask him yourself, Lady Elaine.”
Adanoth congratulated himself for choosing the right thing to say and watched the inner struggle of the girl. She DID have feelings for the Prince. So, the Lady had been right.
“I assure you that you are free to come and leave whenever you want. Nobody will keep you in Lim Aear against your will. As a matter of fact, I am here to accompany you to the palace myself.”
“Does the Prince know?”
Adanoth grinned.
“Let us say that we never talked… it is all a surprise…” And this way Legolas won’t have my head for ‘conspiring’ behind his back with the Lady… Adanoth thought not at all amused at the idea.
It's a small chapter, but that means I'll update sooner... I would very very much like some reviews...!
