LOTR Pairing: Aragorn / Legolas
Note: This is , the first FF that I have a few years ago, so I hope you will want to forgive the many errors. Unfortunately remained unfinished.
Plot: In an alternate universe, which is an admixture of the Matrix, the ranger Aragorn meets two mysterious individuals who have come from afar to reveal the truth about his heritage
8. Remember Aragorn and Elrond were dueling in a large clay: it was now more than a week they trained and the lord of Rivendell was very pleased with the progress made by the man who, though he had a good preparation was certainly lower than that of any elf. Elrond Aragorn as he saw a diamond in the rough, and he was sure that when he sent all his knowledge would be revealed in all its glory, but it would take time and patience, and, fortunately, for now, they had both.
Legolas watched the workout from one of the highest balcony of the house of Elrond, and he was so intent that he did not notice the arrival of another person, until she spoke to him: "Do not you lose sight of a moment. "
Legolas spun around to those who had spoken, and found himself in front of Elrohir, who smiled amused. Realizing that his friend was teasing him blushed embarrassed actually, what he had said the other elf, the truth was, he did not like to lose sight of Aragorn, even for a moment, he had waited so long!
The smile on the face of the elf became softer and said, "Do not be ashamed of your feelings Legolas, here we are all happy to see that you have someone who loves you and that you love.."
"Elrohir Thanks," murmured Legolas moved.
Elrohir nodded and leaned against the railing of the balcony next to Legolas and, looking around, murmured: "It was many years since I climbed up here, since ..." and paused embarrassed recalling the situation. It was time for Legolas to smile and puts his hand on the shoulder of his friend said: "I was punched so hard that I have traveled throughout virtually flying."
"Yeah, I knew how I still feel ashamed when I think about it, but enter the room together and find Arwen ...".
"I know, I am ashamed even to have them disposed of, especially when I realized I had done only to hurt you."
"Yes, it is typical for its part, has linked his fate to a role that denies the enduring suffering, and she takes revenge on others. He knew that you wanted, even before I understood it myself, and had engineered everything so that we come together ...".
"But all his machinations were not used to anything, if I remember then we had a wonderful season!"
"Yes, I remember, for some 'I even thought I'm in love, but was not so lucky, you were already committed to another ... "
" Elrohir, You know what I feel for you is ... "
" ... mercy ...".
Legolas was enraged at these words and the other elf pushed against the wall and tenendogli hands to the sides of the head said, "You know that's not true! I feel affection for you, e. .. tenderness, that has nothing to do with mercy! "
That said Legolas turned his back and went to lean against the railing of the balcony. Soon after, Elrohir joined him and whispered: "Forgive me, you're right I behaved badly, but you know it I'm worried that ...".
"Yes, I know," Legolas said "your promise is to Lothlorien, and there is also Arwen ...".
"In fact, I'm afraid that my sister gets up one of his."
"Do not worry, at this time, has nothing to worry, things are moving fast." Having said that began to observe the training, he liked to see Aragorn and Elrond was measured with, knowing that that distance the man could not recognize him.
Elrohir having enjoyed a long silence, began to tease his friend: "Did you ever talk to us?".
Legolas blushed violently to that question and replied: "I seemed to put the case to the attention of all my past ..."
"You know, I've heard that men are very jealous and possessive but also as 'hidden'! "Elrohir things worse.
The redness of Legolas, if possible, is emphasized again and found nothing to answer, while Elrohir continued: "But he must have felt comfortable with you, I remember you knew to be very aggressive ..."
"Enough!" exploded Legolas "You do not you ...".
But he did not finish the sentence when he realized that Elrohir chuckled amused: he had done it on purpose to provoke him!
"You should be ashamed brother, mock so Legolas."
Elladan had come behind them without knowing it, and Legolas was grateful to him because his arrival removed from that embarrassing situation. Elladan smiled at Legolas, conscious of relief and turned back to the other brother said, "Come on, come on, you also know that you can not spend all day up here to do nothing. Nor should it Legolas. ". The two accused
bowed his head, aware of the rightness of that reproach, Elladan and followed to their duties.
Later that evening, Aragorn and Legolas were talking in their room.
In the days before Elrond had explained how the elven kingdoms were held in contact with each other using the Palantir stolen to the Enemy, when they had destroyed the towers that guarded. Only the scope of Minas Ithil had escaped to the rescue, and always with these balls held in strategic locations of Middle Earth were able to enter and exit the Matrix.
Legolas was just talking about his experience with the Stones Blind: "Since my youth, led by Elrond I learned to consult and to bend to my will. It was a long apprenticeship, even for an elf, but I'll never measure up to my fellow student, Arwen, Elrond's daughter, who can dominate more than one at once, and that 's one who can See the Ruling. "
Aragorn was impressed by these revelations, and said, "Through the Palantir, you've seen so far?".
"Yes," replied Legolas, "I have followed you for years, from childhood until a few days ago ...".
"So I owe it to you if you are here?" Aragorn interrupted.
"No, I have always considered and discussed my choices with the Council, and yet ... this time ... I think ... I would go ahead alone if their views were contrary ...".
Legolas which until then had remained standing, slid on the bed next to Aragorn, as if his own words they had frightened. The man hugged him doing it rest against his body and moving his lips close to his ear, asked
"It was interesting to look at my life for so many years?".
"Yeah ..".
"And tell me, you seem so nice to spy on people, I could also be affected by this violation of my 'intimacy'."
"Do not I've never done anything like this! I watched you, I never spied. "
The elf was surprised to hear the man who laughed softly, had caused deliberately just to see him lose control!
"I do not care, that was not a real life, but I'd like that sometimes tells me about you, and do not have to be awesome stories like that of the dragon, even small things like ... the first time you fell in love ...".
"This is a story you know too, since they are the protagonist," the elf said softly blushing.
"You mean that in almost three thousand years you've never fallen in love! But you also have someone who will be close ...".
"It happened. Sometimes ...".
"If you want, do not be afraid to tell me, I'm not jealous ...".
This time it was the turn of Legolas laughing softly: "God forbid! With all the adventures that you've had. "
enjoyed Aragorn said: "Fortunately, you said that I spiavi."
"It is difficult observe someone who has so many adventures without noticing them! Unequivocal sign of the weakness of your race. "
Legolas had hardly finished speaking when he found himself lying on the cushions with her arms locked above his head.
"If we talk about weaknesses, elf, I could tie you to this bed and caress until m'imploreresti to give you pleasure.".
Legolas watched the Ranger over him, and despite all felt a strong desire to be born in the depths, the threats of man excited him, and before he could impedirselo moaned: "Yes, please.."
Aragorn stared at the elf for a moment, then looked around for something to use for the purpose intended, and what he thought was best for the tape that held the tent canopy collection: something resistance, yet soft.
Legolas enabled man to tie his wrists without protest and left completely to his kisses and caresses, never was so completely at the mercy of someone, and strangely the thing he liked.
Aragorn slowly stroked the elf's body through clothing, and only then realized the error he had made of himself and smiled.
"Legolas ..."
"Yes?" The elf muttered, annoyed by the fact that the man had stopped to pet it.
"I can not take your tunic now that your hands are tied ..."
The elf opened his eyes, stared at the man for a moment and said, "Ritha! (Pull down). "
Aragorn grabbed the thin coat of light colored cotton for the neck and a laceration in one move uncovering the elf's chest.
Legolas held his breath when the man tore his robe, perhaps for the first time he realized his strength and he felt fear. Aragorn had to guess something, because he bent to kiss him softly and said: "At any time, if you change your mind, tell me ...".
The elf shook his head and replied: "No, take me now, please ...".
Aragorn smiled, finished stripping the elf and bared itself, then began to kiss get off your chest slowly down, while his hands stroked the inside of the thighs without haste elf, that every kiss and caress each groaned louder and louder, arching her back with pleasure. When Legolas felt the warmth of the man's mouth, he seemed to go mad with pleasure, he could not do anything more to give him greater pleasure, but he was wrong, after a moment he felt that it was Aragorn with a penetrating finger, which he soon added a second, that the man was moving faster and faster in his body at the same pace with which his mouth caressed him.
Legolas he was completely blinded by the pleasure, no one before had ever made me feel so, he had never given up so completely to someone before. His body was path a thousand shivers of pleasure, his back arched more and more, while his arms trapped by the rope of silk, tended, until his body gave way and collapsed as he left, overcome by pleasure.
Aragorn smiled when he saw the elf who struggled to return to a regular breathing rhythm, he bent to brush her lips softly and when Legolas raised his eyes he asked: "Do you feel like continuing?".
"Of course," replied the elf with a look of defiance.
"Okay, if you insist ..." and before Legolas could answer him spread his legs and entered him in completely with a single, violent thrust. The elf closed his eyes and clenched her lips into a thin line for non-rigid and screaming, but when the man saw his expression froze in pain and asked: "Legolas, do you want to stop ...?& rdquo ;.
"No. .." the elf said, "Give me a moment ... I did not expect ...".
Shortly after the expression of pain on the elf's face eased and smiling man murmured, "I'm ready.".
Aragorn year and began to move against him, though this time more slowly, and without losing an attitude of his face: he wanted to see painted just the pleasure, something inside him that drove him to want nothing, not even himself , could make him suffer.
Even Legolas stared in turn the face of the Ranger and he was surprised to see you painting together with the pleasure, something else that could be defined, perhaps, tenderness, but soon the man pushed him away from his thoughts, he abandoned himself entirely to pleasure, and when he heard that the rate was raised by increasing ; and legs crossed behind his back.
"Please ... Aragorn ... stronger ... "he groaned.
The man looked for a moment, Legolas's face twisted with pleasure and pushed again, with force inside him, while with one hand touching him, faster and faster between her legs.
They reached the pleasure at once, and that was the force with which swept them away for a moment that seemed to both of not being able to even breathe. Aragorn, as soon as he recovered, he untied the elf, and, having bent down to kiss him gently on the lips, he asked: "How do you feel?".
"I do not know," muttered the elf, trying to rise, but stopping now grimacing in pain when he tried to pry his arms.
"I tied too tight! I'm sorry, I do not ...".
"No, I've asked him, "said Legolas. "And then I'm just a bit 'stiff, it will pass soon, and it was worth it ...".
Aragorn saw that the elf blushed, smiled, and helped him to remove what remained of his tunic, and then let it fall to the ground giggling.
"What's so funny Aragorn?".
"No, I thought that if only someone had entered before, and I had seen tied up and his clothes torn, she could misunderstand."
Legolas smiled at the thought itself, before being embarrassed, actually at that time could have been just anyone, and said: "Probably, if it happened, I would have died because of embarrassment."
"Kind of you to leave me all alone to explain the situation."
Legolas laughed, and although it was still a bit 'numb, Ranger embraced and kissed him and then rested his head on his shoulder and said: "I would like to get some sleep' next to you if what you like. .. ".
Aragorn hugged him stronger if and murmured: "Rest love, I love when you do it in my arms.."
Legolas smiled again and then gave himself up to sleep typical of his people, letting it slip your mind and being with my eyes open and bright, a little more than a shell, his body became in those moments, and left him abandoned the arms of the ranger, who did not know what the elf envy of the men sleep, deeper and yet more unstable and dangerous, but which retained their essence.
Legolas awoke several hours later and saw the Ranger lying nearby who was fast asleep. The man was lying on his stomach and his breathing was slow and steady. The elf smiled and then paused to contemplate the human body: those weeks of constant training had already carved his body and his features had nothing to envy to those of an elf, not at all descended from Elros in turn a descendant of Luthien.
Legolas felt the desire to be reborn in him, as he watched the sleeping man, and began to kiss his shoulders and back, with one hand while stroking his neck. Soon he realized that Aragorn pretended to sleep and asked him: "Mr. Ranger is satisfied with the attention given to the subject matter, or maybe want something else?".
At these words, Aragorn opened his eyes, smiled and replied: "Yes, I want something else ...".
"What?".
"There ... I ... "broke the embarrassed man: he had never done before as a request that he wanted to do the ELF, I had never felt desire, and did not know where to start. If anyone, before his meeting with Legolas, had told him that one day she wanted something, he twisted her mouth in disgust! Now, however, nothing seemed more desirable than a gesture of love.
"Do not be afraid of your dreams ..." muttered the elf.
"Legolas ... love me ... I feel in me ...".
The elf was astonished by that question, he knew that never in his life the man had wanted anything like it, but only said: "Of course my love ..." as it moves over the body making the Ranger open more legs and penetrating slowly.
Almost immediately he heard the man's body tense up because of the pain and stopped himself, kissing her shoulders and whispered words of love, while he waited for his body relaxes. After a while she heard a little sigh of pleasure out of human lips and pushed completely inside him began to move slowly, until it was the same ranger to ask him to possess it more strongly. A request that Legolas began to go between the legs of man with more violence, while Aragorn's lips did not leave nothing but moans of pleasure.
The ranger felt lost as he had never happened before, every time you pushed the elf with the greatest force was at once both a pleasure and agony unspeakable. His hands tighten the cloth, her lungs did not seem to get enough air to breathe in that room, and his lips could not hold back the moans of pleasure. When he finally reached the peak of pleasure her body was left completely exhausted by the experience, but without him it wanted to, his eyes began to shut down copious tears.
Legolas joined Aragorn and the pleasure shortly after they left over the man's body, kissing her cheek and cheekbone, but his lips when he heard the salty taste of her tears, alarmed and retreated, turning the man on his back, he asked in anguish:
"Aragorn, love, why are you crying, I did not want to hurt you ... I was so anxious to make you feel ... "but stopped when he saw the man open his eyes, smiling and murmuring
" It was wonderful ... I had never experienced anything like the first, I never even wanted to ... thank you for what you've made me feel ...".
The elf was speechless, he just lie down beside the man and hold her thinking about what he had said to Elrohir that afternoon we had a wonderful season ... but that would have had with that & rsquo ; man would have been much more, went so far as to believe that she could go on forever!
The Valar, in their wisdom, had put the memories behind the living beings, while they held the future, for the most part hidden, just so they knew that their offspring could gain a bit 'of serenity. These same concepts could be explained in the same Legolas Aragorn, who knew a lot because of his experiences, but the fact that the elf was silent his thoughts at the end, better for everyone.
fate would follow its course anyway.
9. The Palantir
Darkness had already fallen for several hours, but Aragorn still lingered among the paths of the ancient gardens of Rivendell. It seemed that something troubled him, stealing the tranquility and serenity, and preventing him from returning to their source.
Not far from man, but he hid in the shadows, Legolas stood still and looked at him with a heavy heart, he wanted to join him, take him in her arms, reassure him, but he knew he could not do it, that was a battle that the man had to fight alone. There were decisions that the Ranger had to grow on his behalf, much depended on this, and he could not compromise the only way of salvation of Middle-earth! From the lips
elf let out a sigh of pain, when he felt a hand on her shoulder to comfort him, but not It took turn to know that behind him was Elrond: he knew too well the spiritual presence of the Lord of Imladris, because it could come without him warned. Come away
Legolas, Elrond said, speaking directly to the mind of the elf here for you there is only suffering. When you're ready come back to you, here has nothing to fear ...
Legolas clenched his jaw as hard as he could to fight back tears and turned to face Elrond, but when he crossed his eyes all his plans collapsed and the tears began to flow on her face.
Elrond remained appalled at the sight: there were hundreds of years, perhaps a whole millennium, he saw that Legolas cry! It was therefore already so strong bond that held him close to the man?
And Elrond did something that was not a long time embraced him, not according to the protocol between elven adult relatives, but like a child. A child alone and lost in the darkness, like that night long ago, in which Legolas had called him "father" for the first time.
A few meters from the two elves, Aragorn through the moments of the day for the hundredth time.
In the early afternoon had followed Legolas and Elrond in a remote location of the house.
They had traveled long corridors and climbed several flights of stairs before finally reaching the front door without a handle for the lock, which was open to an order of the Lord of Imladris, and had closed silently behind them, after they had entered the room, increasing the discomfort of the Ranger.
In the weeks before Elrond Aragorn had undergone a long mental and physical workout, but that was the first time that Legolas was also present, and it made him uneasy.
The room in which it was conducted was spacious, octagonal, illuminated by arched windows, and the Ranger began to wonder why he had never seen from the outside of the home ...
"You can not see this room from the outside," said Elrond, capturing the thoughts of man, "because it is hidden by a spell. But now lend attention. "
Aragorn nodded and followed the two elves in the middle of the room, where, on a pedestal of mithril worked beautifully, was a subject covered by a cloth of embroidered silk.
Elrond reached out and took the cloth, revealing a ball that seemed made of black glass, shiny, smooth and Aragorn knew that this was a Palantir.
"This," said Elrond, "which is the Palantir was at Amon Sul. Elsewhere are kept to Annuminas, and the stone that was once dominant in Osgiliath. "
Aragorn merely nodded: he could not even find the strength to speak in that room, in front of the object that is completely magnetized his eye.
A smooth white hand was laid suddenly the ball, it was Legolas's hand: for a moment the elf frowned, then looked relaxed and smiled, removing his hand. "Look," the elf muttered "you can watch, no one else is doing.."
Aragorn nodded again, would have wanted, but knew he had, and trying to remember all the lessons impartitigli by Elrond in the weeks before, he approached the Palantir and you put it on a hand.
At first it was like receiving a shock, then found himself floating in a gray limbo where there were no landmarks to orient themselves and began to feel the panic that growth would not be able to go back, would stay there forever!
Calma Aragorn, Elrond's voice was speaking directly to his mind, remember you who must forge this place, to give meaning and dimension, not the other way.
The voice of Elrond gl'infuse the calm needed to regain control after a moment he found himself walking in a meadow along a grove, and he knew it was past the other hand, was back in the Matrix.
was surprised of the blue skies of heaven, the scent of flowers and calls of the insects in the summer grass: it was all so 'real', so 'right'.
meantime continued to walk exactly where he was wondering: what the place looked familiar yet disturbing. Suddenly, the forest opened the entrance to a trail and began to follow him, and it was nice to walk in the cool shade of the trees and not far away, could hear the sound of a brook that ran between the rocks, seemed like a dream . Suddenly the end of the trail opened a clearing in the center of which was a nice little house, the door ajar as to invite him to enter, yet he felt at the sight of Aragorn's death go down into the heart. He wanted to turn and flee, but his feet dragging him toward the house, had lost control again. He would not go into that house, did not want to smell the blood that soak the air, did not want to see the mangled body lying in that posture grotesque, nor the golden locks caked with blood and his eyes wide, like marbles routes . But it was too late: it was in the doorway, his hand reached out to open the door, the scene was still there waiting for him after so many years, as if he had never buried his body and burned the little wooden house in South Ithilien. Review
scene buried so deep in his soul was too much, his mind is closed, collapsed in on itself, like a star that turns into a black hole, all you could hear was screaming himself as a wild beast, louder and louder, more ...
He found himself sitting on the floor of the room of Rivendell, near him were Elrond and Legolas looked at him worried that, while the top of his Palantir support seemed to fix it mockingly, like a big black eye and evil.
Aragorn felt hurt, both physically and mentally, and had the impression of having been subjected to a test and failing.
"Aragorn ..." Legolas's voice was calling him, then felt his hand resting gently on his shoulder, as if to comfort him, but inexplicably gave rise to the gesture in his fury and resentment. He dismissed his hand violently
elf, looking first at him, then Elrond with hatred, and stood up and left the room.
Legolas was still kneeling on the ground and stared stupefied and hurt the hand that Aragorn had rejected with such contempt, then looked up and gazing on the Lord of Imladris's door with a smile indecipherable.
"...", murmured Legolas Elrond.
"He opened the door without even realizing it, breaking the spell that kept it locked."
Elrond spoke to himself, without paying any attention to Legolas. Then he looked down and saw the other elf, who was still kneeling on the floor stretched out a hand to help him up.
Aragorn through the house like a fury, ignoring anyone who encounters, heads bowed and a blind rage that grew at every step he took. They had dared to play with his most painful memories! Those who had buried deep, although very recent! Those who were awake in the night covered with cold sweat, with the impression of having a huge weight that was pressing on my stomach and held back a scream in her throat.
His steps led him out of the house, and later in the gardens, which soon became tangled, like a real forest, when it came out in a lonely glade, where he sat on a stone white covered with vegetation and, holding his head in his hands, began to cry, first silently, then shaken by sobs more and more violent.
include tremors every now and then uttered a name ...
Legolas from the window of his room, staring at the gardens of Imladris with a heart full of anguish. He could feel his pain, but he knew that his comfort was not required, it would have been acceptable at that time.
Aragorn had spent all day sitting on the white stone, hidden in the glade, the gardens of Imladris. Initially, cradling her pain and resentment, but then, away, away the hours spent reflecting on what had happened.
Elrond had undergone a test, and he failed!
knew how many hopes had in him, and began to feel ashamed of his flight, his resentment of Elrond and Legolas as he had done.
knew there was one thing he could do, but how much it cost him!
When he finally decided to leave the glade the darkness had already fallen from a little '; was very clear where he was to go and I went without hesitation, through the long corridors of the House of Elrond, to arrive at the door of the apartments the lord of Imladris. The door was not
monitored, like all the others in that place, and Aragorn entered the hall and went through other rooms, until they came to the door of the bedroom of Elrond, and laid his hand on the knob, took a deep breath find the courage to face the elf, then went with resolute air.
Aragorn stood transfixed by the spectacle that presented itself to her eyes: Elrond was lying on the big four-poster bed, wearing only pants pale silk, legs slightly bent, and the long hair blacks scattered on the pillow, and, above him, he lay another elf, blonde, stark naked, who was kissing his chest. Elrond's face was painted an expression of pure pleasure, while one hand stroked the elf's back, and the other was buried in her blond hair.
air all at once escaped from the lungs of the wanderer, because of surprise, and in that instant the two elves, realizing his presence turned to look at him, so that Aragorn, he could recognize, blond nell'elfo , Glorfindel.
The man looked down embarrassed muttering: "I'm sorry ... I will come back tomorrow ... " and was about to leave, but the voice of Elrond, incredibly calm despite the situation, stopped him.
"Wait there," said the elf "'ll be joining you soon.."
While Aragorn Elrond expected in the next room, it still remained a moment lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, while Glorfindel, at his side, watching him worried.
"Elrond ..." he called softly.
"I'm here.."
"It is not true ... wherever you are, you're not here ... You are where you take your foresight ...".
you in that dark and lonely place where I can not enter. In which no one can enter. And when you go I'm afraid, because I fear that what they always come back you will not be you, but some stranger from the look of ice.
Elrond could hear very well the thoughts of the other elf, but could not say anything to reassure him: every word was a lie. They both knew. So he just hold her and get her hair sliding through his fingers for a moment before getting up to dress.
Glorfindel Elrond look he wore over his trousers, an elegant beige tunic sidereal, the boots the same color and picked a few locks of hair behind her head.
The Lord of Rivendell turned to greet the other elf, but when he saw the expression in his eyes, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Tell me ...".
"Back ...?" it was only a faint murmur.
"Yes," said Elrond, "always," and bent to kiss him before quitting.
Glorfindel stood for a long time to fix the door closed, after he had left, cursing his cowardice: never found the courage to give him that simple question.
Finally he gave up sleep to get some 'respite from his misery.
When Aragorn heard the door of the room Elrond's first open and then close, he turned to the elf, but he found the courage to look into his eyes: he was ashamed of his intrusion into her private life, but There was something else that he could not focus.
"Aragorn."
Man feels call so dry, he raised his head and found himself reflected into the eyes of Elrond, who said
"Come on, talk."
"There ... I ... I'm sorry ... that is, I knew nothing, if not, I would not have entered this way ...".
Elrond smiled at the obvious embarrassment of man certain that he knew nothing, he and Glorfindel did not have the habit of kissing every corner of the house as did Aragorn and Legolas!
"Aragorn's okay, do not worry.."
"No, I'd never thought you ... you could have your life ... all'infuri of your promises ...".
Aragorn was ashamed of what he just said, but it was the truth, and the smile that Elrond gave him made him realize that he was not offended, maybe even fun.
"Then Aragorn, why are you here?".
He knew very well, but he wanted a man had to say.
"Take me back there! I want to go in that room, but this time only two of us, I do not want Legolas to be involved again. "
"He is already involved. However, like you want, let's go. "
and exited from the apartments of Elrond, to return to the room of the Palantir.
When Aragorn is headed back to the rooms of Legolas, the first light already lit up the tops of the mountains.
entered the room he shared with the elf he saw him lying on the bed, but when he came up he found that he did not sleep, was awake and lying was simply staring at the ceiling.
"Legolas ..." he called softly, and saw her head move slowly towards him, but his eyes were empty. That look went through
Aragorn procuring a pain that no weapon could ever inflict upon him, and suddenly remembered how he had treated before fleeing the room Palantir of the previous afternoon. He wanted to flee, hide, where to look could not reach him, but he knew that this was not the solution, then approached the bed and sat down slowly on the shore, from the elf, and extended a hand towards him, stroking his face . The elf continued to be still under the hand of man, Aragorn but considered that on the other hand had not even picture, then decided to be more daring and went down to kiss his lips.
When he parted from Legolas, who now saw her eyes were closed and crying. Aragorn did not know what to do, what to say, he was afraid of doing something that the elf would never have forgiven, but just spoke to him, his was a simple question:
"You passed your test? ".
"Yes."
"Well, at least this obstacle is overcome.
"Sarai tired, lie down and rest. "
The man was astonished: he had expected the right elf's accusations, perhaps the call not to see again, but it only had to make a simple observation.
surprised by the whole situation Aragorn undressed and lay down next to Legolas, taking him in her arms and whispered:
"Forgive me.."
"Always, my love ...".
In another room of the house was doing a scene like this:
"He passed his test?" Glorfindel asked to Elrond who was recently returned, and lying next to him.
"Yes .." said the Lord of Imladris, which was almost a tone of regret.
"I do not think you will be happy.".
"This is not ...".
"So what?".
"So, from what little I have given notice of what awaits us if he succeeds, it will be for the substance of the sacrifice of many of those I love. If it fails we will follow into oblivion all ...".
Glorfindel paused long enough to induce Elrond to think that she was asleep, then suddenly said:
"If one of these lives were mine I would not care, because they know that you love me."
Elrond whirled his head toward the other elf, surprised by those words, and met his eyes bright because of the emotion murmured
"You do not need to die to know that I love you, you're my life and my light. Before there was you was a long time I did not love, I have not heard anything since ...".
... she is playing ...".
"Since she's dead."
"Ma .. went to the Grey Havens ... went to the West ... "Glorfindel murmured.
"The road to the west was closed by the opponent. She's wanted to go even so ... and now roams the halls of Mandos ...".
"I ... I did not know ...".
"Few people know, I'm giving an important secret.".
Glorfindel paused, struck by the confidence which was made to the depositary, and then gently kissed the lips of Elrond saying
"Rest now, my lord, my love, you're tired ...".
Elrond smiled and slipped into sleep.
