The Beginning

CHAPTER 7

That night took me time to sleep. I didn't even try it. All I could see was Valinor.

It was midnight. I could see Arwen sleeping. I took my things.

I was ready to leave and find some answers.

There were some guards from Mirkwood. I saw Thranduil talking to my father. I had to listen that conversation.

I hid behind a door.

"...I don't understand why she wants to know Valinor" my father said.

"She is curious. She wants to know who made her mom sail to Valinor" Thranduil said.

"But we don't even know who. That night he disappeared. Your son saved Arya from suffer such pain as my wife suffered. She wouldn't let Arya to become this way. She's adventurous like her but she needs to stay here"

"Why marry to an elf that she doesn't know? Why marry to an elf who was an enemy?" Thranduil asked.

I knew the answer. I just wanted to leave. I was about to cry. My father was hiding me a lot of things.

I sat next to a balcony. I could see the stars in the reflection of the water.

" Stars shine but there is one that her darkness doesn't let her shine" a voice said.

I turned around. Legolas was all in white with his crown. He was smiling.

He was next to me.

"I can feel your pain in my heart" he said.

I looked at him. He put his hand on my face, touching my wound.

"How did you do that?" he asked.

"I... Fell down" I said terrified. I knew he knew what happened.

"You can't disguise a lie. You can't lie to me. Where are you going?" he said.

"It's not your bussiness" I said. I had to leave and I felt he was making sure I was staying there.

"Then, I would leave" he said. And he turned around.

"Wait!" he turned to me and in the light of the stars I could see how beautiful his eyes were.

"I need your help" I said. "Help me finding my mother. You were there that night. Maybe ypu saw who hurtdd and made her go to Valinor" I said.

"I can't do that. I don't know who hurted your mother. There were only orcs that night. It is dangerous, Arya" he said.

"Then, I will find it by my own" I said. And I left.
