Thranduil welcomed Elrond to Mirkwood,
"My friend, I'm glad you came,"
"It's always a pleasure to see you, my friend,"Elrond said,
"Tell me, my friend. What's the matter?,"
And they sat down at the long table.
"I would ask to make an alliance with Rivendell against Livia to help my daughter take back her throne and in exchange, I'm offer her hand in a marriage to one of your sons,"
Elrond smiled,"Of course, my friend. I accept your offer. I will be back in two days with my son Elladan to meet The Princess of Mirkwood,"
Thranduil smiled and nodded, "I'll look forward to it,"
And Lord Elrond left.
Thranduil smiled for himself.
(Next day)
Legolas got his sister to the ground,
"You see! Even if I'm still recovering, you're still not strong enough to beat me,"
Elora looked at him angrily,
"If it wasn't for your recovering, I would gladly blast you with my magic right now!,"
And Legolas smiled, "No, you wouldn't. I know you too well, muinthel (sister),"
And he helped her up.
"Hír nín! (My Lord),"A guard interrupted,
"Your father requests your and your sister's presence in the dining hall,"
And Elora smiled,"Time for lunch then,"
And they went into the place.
---------
Legolas and Elora sat down at the long table.
"Adar, how did your meeting with Elrond go? Is he helping us against Livia?,"Legolas asked.
Thranduil nodded, "Yes, he's helping us against something in return,"
"What did he want?,"Legolas asked interestingly.
Thranduil smiled, "I was the one who offered the deal. And he agreed. I offered your hand Elora in a marriage to one of his sons,"
Legolas became completely silent and looked at his sister. He knew Elora wouldn't accept this in a good way.
Elora looked up at her father angrily,
"You can't be serious. I will never marry him. You can't decide my future like this,"
"None of his sons will ever be King,"Legolas explained.
"And I will never marry any of them!,"Elora protested.
"You have no choice in this Elora! You will marry Lord Elrond's son Elladan whether you like it or not! If you shall be able to take back your Kingdom, you will need a strong husband by your side. And we will need a strong alliance. You will meet him in two days and you will marry him! There's nothing you can say to protest!,"
And Elora stood up, holding back her tears and turned to her father,
"If I do marry him... It will be for the good of The Light Kingdom and Mirkwood and nothing more. And I will never be happy. And I will never forgive you,"
And she run out of the dining hall crying.
Legolas sighed and looked at his father,
"Well done, adar,"Legolas said ironically. And he stood up and went after his sister.
Thranduil sighed and drank a bit of his wine as he realised he had hurt his daughter again.
----------
Elora rode on Snowflake through the forest, crying. She just wanted to get so far away from Mirkwood as possible. She didn't care if she would never get back her Kingdom. She couldn't live in Mirkwood anymore.
Suddenly, Ilitri showed up in front of her and Snowflake,
"Where are you riding, dearie!?," The wizard asked,
"Mirkwood's woods is dangerous,"
"I don't care,"Elora cried,
"I just need to get away from my father,"
Ilitri looked at her sadly. He never opens his loving and caring side unless someone he really cares about is hurting.
"Father is going to make me marry. To take back my Kingdom,"Elora explained.
Ilitri smiled, "But there's something good in that. You can learn to love again,"
And Elora got off Snowflake,
"I don't think I can,"
"I know you can,"Ilitri insisted,
"I always knew you couldn't be evil. And I knew you would one day take back your Kingdom. Don't let a marriage get in the way of your happiness. I'm sure this man can learn you to love again,"
And Elora smiled. And Ilitri disappeared.
Elora sighed and started to sing
[Verse 1]
I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through a mirror
Tired mechanical heart
Beats 'til the song disappears
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Verse 2]
If only the clockwork could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Bridge]
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
(Only, only, only, only, only)
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
And suddenly, Legolas came riding,
"Elora, adar wants you to return to the castle,"
And Elora sighed and got on Snowflake and they rode away.
