Description
The moon had set, it was deep night, and Legolas could not sleep. The weight of what was to come was unbearable during those dark hours.

“Elbereth, give me strength,” he whispered into the night. “You set such a difficult task before me.”

“One that only you can achieve.”

He jerked awake, for someone had spoken. He realized then, that he was reclining on the chaise longe, next to his lover on the balcony, a blanket draped over him. He had been sleeping, had been dreaming – or had he?

The sun was not far from rising as he walked slowly into the room, slipping on his shirt, breeches and boots once outside so as not to rouse the slumbering lords within. We walked for a while until he came to one of the many natural pools further out in the surrounding lands of the house. The same one the lords had splashed around in not long ago, the day he had received the first message. Removing his clothing once more, he dived silently into the inky water, resurfacing and swimming lazily, before pulling himself onto a rock.

Tilting his head back, he watched as black stained to dark blue. Sunrise was not far off. The forests were well, they were alive as they had never been. They hailed him, comforted him, loved him, protected him as he protected them.

He smiled with reserve as he heaved a great sigh of trepidation, for this day would be one he would never forget, he only hoped he would be able to live up to the expectations the Valar had placed in him.

‘A task only you can achieve’.
