The Beginning

CHAPTER 10

I woke up and I found out I was in my bedroom.

I looked around and saw the first face. Galadriel was smiling at me, I smiled her back.

I kept on looking around and I saw my father, he was angry. My smile disappeared.

"Galadriel, please, leave us alone" he said.

"Don't be cruel with her" she whispered and she left the room.

My dad sat next to me.

"What were you thinking of?"

"You don't give me all the answers. I need to find them by myself" I said.

"It is too dangerous for you to go out there!" he said.

I looked down.

He got up.

"Well, you need rest. Your wedding is tomorrow" he said.

Tomorrow?! I spend so many days in bed because of the poison.

"Where is Legolas?" I asked him.

"Legolas is back with his father in Mirkwood" he said. "I told him to stay for the wedding but he didn't want"

"When did he leave?"

"Early this morning" he said.

Later that night, I stood in my balcony wondering why he left me. Galadriel came in and sat next to me.

"It is going to be a beautiful night" she whispered.

"And tomorrow is going to be a nightmare" I said.

"Your father is doing for you" she said. "But I agree with you" she said and I looked at her.

"In what do you agree?"

"I know you are in love... But not with Dalius" she said. " I've been listening to you, in your mind. A name that comes like an echo" she said.

"He is not for me"

"Maybe he is for you" she said.

I didn't want to think of Legolas.

"How was my mum?" I asked her.

"Your mum believed in true love. She was like you. You have her face" she said.

"She met your father. I remember when she ranway from Lórien to go to Rivendell. She and your father met when they were children. Now you need rest." she said. She kissed my forehead and left.

I was looking at the stars and suddenly, I remembered I kept that paper from the river.

I took it and opened it. It was a map and a piece of my necklace. But it wasn't my evenstar...

I kept it again and went to sleep.
