Where Butterflies

Greenwood

When we entered the Woodland Realm, I saw the trees drooping, I heard their silent morn the air itself was thick, at their loss. It grew dark.

"The trees seem so sad." Arwen whispered.

"They are grieving." I explained.

"Grieving? Why are they grieving?" The twins asked.

"For the loss of their Queen."

Thranduils' Hall

'Mae talon,' back to Greenwood, Lord Elrond and family." King Thranduil announced. "I am truly sorry for the loss of the Lady."

'Hanna le.' "As we are for the Queen."

The King nodded.

"Indeed. I well see you all at dinner."

[Most of you.]

I heard at the back of his mind.

(What does he mean?)

~~~

I've been looking for Legolas for an hour, but no sign of him.

"Lady Lìvian?" A familiar female voice asked.

I turned around, seeing Eleaín.

"Is that you?" She asked

"Yes, Eleaín. How many 'elleths,' do you know that have brown and white hair?"

"I am sorry. You will have to forgive me, I am an old elf."

"Of course. Have you seen Legolas? I can not find him."

"He goes into the wood early in the morning, and returns late in the night. Where in the woods, I do not know."

"Thank you, Eleaín." I replied, heading for the woods.

~~~

I walked into woods, hoping to find him. Of course, this is Legolas we're talking about. If he wanted to be alone, he'll make sure to be alone.

I started to sing.

"Float on, to the painted skies.
Where dreams will be unified.
As I, slip inside."

Legolas' POV

I sat under a tree, trying to forget. It was quiet a soft voice broke it.

"Float on, to the painted skies.
Where dreams, will be unified.
As I, slip inside."

I opened my eyes, looking around, finding nothing.

(Was it her? Maybe, I was just hearing things.)

I closed my eyes, forgetting I ever heard it.

"Multiply, humanity.
Harmonize, insanity."

I snapped my eyes back open. It sounded just like her.

'Naneth?!'

My only response, was the next verse.

"Shedding light of remedy.
Pulling tight of clarity."

I decided to follow the voice, singing along.

"Shattered glass, and flower beds.
Humanize, inhuman ends." We sang.
