Willow sat the edge of her bed sobbing at the lose of Daystar. Willow sat up and walked to the Helms deep hall. Know one was there, which was perfect of her. Ever since Daystar died, she did not know what she could do without him. You may be thinking: He is just a fox. No, he was not just a fox. He was Elliastral's best friend.

(Song by Christina Perry):

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

One by one, Willow starts to remove her clothing. She left her pants and boots on. Her top was her undergarment (bra) that rapped around her chest. The cloth was white.

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart

Then Willow takes out a dagger, putting it on a table.


'Cause I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

On beat, Willow bashes her body against the stone pillars, wanting to end her misery. Her white garment dirty from the dirt and dust on the pillars. Her shoulders bloody and bruised.


I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

Reaching for the dagger, she raises it up to her heart, reading to strike. Without armor, she was vulnerable. But, something stops her, someone stops her. Legolas.


I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

Legolas takes the dagger from her hands and sets it on the table, mouthing the the word 'why.' Then, they start to dance.


'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human

Willow comes into his arms, Legolas spinning her around, like no one was watching.


And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human.

Legolas slowly rocks Willow in his arms. Slowly, Willow leaves, gathering her clothes.

So, what did you think? Let me be clear, Willow was not naked! She only had her undergarment, pants, and boots on. Willow was grieving for the loss of Daystar, the loss of her friend. Also, Willow is a maia, not a human, that was just the name of the song.
