I sleep peacefully as I lay myself in bed maybe because of exhaustion. As I sleep another dream occurred to me but this is different from the dream I have by this past days. My dream is all about chaos and war....
In my dream...

I am standing  in the middle of nowhere with bodies around me. I can still hear the cries of the wounded soldiers of  dwarves, elves and men. I see dead bodies of women,children and old folks.

The orcs are attacking from the mountains to the flat ground where this soldiers are. I was about to turn when an orc came to me and cut my head down... And that's when I wake up.

Weird dream, it is. I can still the sweat dripping from my forehead going across my face. Maybe it is just the effect of exhaustion to my physical and mental. After some time, I heard footstep coming towards the door... Then, I heard a knock. I stood up to open the door. I thought its Thranduil who knocked but I am wrong ... It is Lord Elrond.

"Are you alright, M'lady?" He asked me with hint of  worry on his face.
"I saw what you saw in your dreams, M'lady..." He continued that made me look at him in surprise.

"What did you see?" I asked him.

"I saw everything... The dead bodies and the cries of the wounded soldiers and you beheaded by an orc." He said to me like it is nothing.

"How did you know all of that? Who are you... For real?" I said... It is more like a whisper.

"I have the gift of reading someone's mind and feel what someone feels. I am the same Elrond that asks you to come in my place." He said smiling.

"Do you know why I am here in Middle- earth?" I asked. Maybe he  can help me in accomplishing my mission.

"No, I don't. Only the Valars know why you are here." He said while smiling.

"Can you do me something then?" I ask him.

"Anything for you, M'lady." He said.

"W-will you please not mention this things to Thranduil." I said and began to look at his blue-green eyes who are also looking at me. I look at him like I am begging him not to.

He made a sigh and look away.

"Why not tell him the truth that you are having dreams like this." He said. I look down and play with my hands.

"... Because I don't want him to worry about me." I said. That made him look at me.

"Why don't you want him to? You are his queen it is natural for him to worry. One more thing... He may know how to get those dreams out on your mind. He - " I cut the words that he may say.

"This dreams will never go away. Lord Elrond... Me and Thranduil are not married. I will never be his queen. His people may be but not him." I said coldly. Lord Elrond look at me surprised.

"But... I saw how you love each other..." He said in a low voice.

"I'm not in love with him... True!... But it is not romantically." I said.

Lord Elrond just look at me with surprise expression.

"Then I guess it is him who's in love with you romantically. I can see in his eyes that he is very happy when he's with you. It is first time in his life that I saw him so happy like that." He said looking at the ground. I just stood there looking at him and I felt like I didn't heard anything. It is because I know Thranduil is not in love with me. Me and Thranduil are just friends and nothing else.

"Why don't you give him a chance?" He said and look at me.

"We don't belong with each other." I said and look away. He look at me like he just heard a very big secret.

He made a sigh and then smiles at me. He told me that he'll help me sleep again. He stayed there until I felt that I am sleepy again.  I let him leave just as soon as felt that. He looks at me and nod then went out. Just as before he is out of the room, he looks at me again but this time I saw a sad look in his eyes. I don't know why he gave me a look like that. Did I just said something that made him sad?

Enjoy!
