Princess Aria

Dreams

Legolas Point of View

After Aria left Gandalf and I walked behind my father down toward the common room.

"Yes I know Gandalf" I tell him after telling me about Aria's sneakie habits

"What of her Memory?" he asks and my father stops turning

"She gets fragments. But she has yet to realize that they are memories. They come to her by sleep so she assumes they are dreams nothing more" he says and Gandalf nods understanding

"I see" he says and we enter the common room and my father gives Gandalf a drink then me and sits

"So Gandalf what do we owe the honor" he asks and Gandalf sits as do I

"I came to see for myself how Aria is doing. It has come to the attention of Lord Elrond and I that she has been kept within your borders and with no word of her progress the last 50 years" he says and I take a drink of wine looking at my father

"I didn't think anything of it. She is a princess and belongs with her kingdom and family" he tells him and glare at him for being so rude

"Ada" I tell him and he looks at me and I look back at Gandalf

"Sorry Gandalf we didn't think of you and Elrond. I understand that she to is your family" I tell him and he nods in thanks

"I understand that it will soon happen" he says and I look confused

"What do you mean?" I ask and he sighs

"Her memories will come faster now and at anytime" he says and my father and I share a worried look

"How do you know this?" My father asks and Gandalf takes another drink

"Elrond had another vision a week ago" he says

"What do we do?" my father asks and I share his worry

"Theres not much to do. Except help her understand them" Gandalf says

"Thats why you are here. Since most memories are of you it will help her adjust"  I ask and he nods

"I am here to help Aria. Dispite our differences in the past I will be here to help you" he says and I nod looking at my father who agrees. I hear a scream

Aria?

I look at my father and Gandalf in horror then run out the door following her screams. I run to the garden and continue to hear her

"Stop it!Stop it!" he yells and I run into the labyrinth seeing her on her knees covering her ears crying and yelling. I run to her and place myself in front of her putting my hands on her cheeks

"Aria open your eyes. Its me its Ada" I tell her calmly and she screams in pain and I hold her face

"Aria open your eyes!" I shout and she suddenly does and looks around and back to me eyes full of tears. She cries and rushes to me and I hold her close as she cries some more and I rock her

"Its alright I'm here.........shhhhhhh Aria" I tell her and Gandalf and my father find us

"Ada it hurts" she says weakly and I look at her as I hold her

"Where leling?" I ask her and she moves her hand to her side and then falls asleep. I look back to my father and then get up with her to her room. I lay her down and my father hands me a wet cloth as Gandalf comes to the other side of the bed touching her forehead closing his eyes feeling her

"She will be alright" he says and I move her dress and look at the place she said that hurt her. My father joins me and I gasp as I see her scar. It looks like a open wound that is slightly burned and my father places some Kingsoil and wraps cloth around it and Aria grunts and I cool her with the wet cloth and she relaxes

"She must have seen a bad memory" my father says and I nod and Gandalf places his hand on Aria and mumbles a few words of a spell then retreats

"She is begining to see and now is afraid to the meaning  of all that is inside" Gandalf says and my father sighs

"I wish that they don't cone back" he says and Aria moves slightly bit relaxes as I rub her left cheek humming

" I sense another presence a dark one that to part in her fear" Gandalf says and I look at him scared

"What?" I ask and he sighs

"I fear that he himself is pushing her memory more then should. I think that is why the memories are coming quickly" he says and my father sits next to me holding Aria's hand tightly.

"What does he have to gain for her memory?" he asks and Gandalf starts on his pipe

"I'm not so sure but I know that if he pushes enough and Aria is not strong to take it she can possibly hurt herself" he says and she grunts and I look to her

This is what I feared. Tell me Aria what can I do?

"Can't we just tell her that way she is prepared for it" my father asks and Gandalf thinks

"Maybe but she has to learn it for herself. She is the only one that can except herself as she was in order to become who she is." he says

"The two will become one" he says again and Aria smiles in her sleep

"Kili" she says and I look back at her

" I think I know a way" I say and my father looks at me as if to say no and Gandalf nods smiling

"We will prepare to go to Dale. I think its time to visit the King under the mountain
