Sapphire Eyes

Ch 56

Several hours
had past, and Legolas finally emerged from his fathers study. The prince made
his way to the kitchen and cried out �Meoen!� The elleth rushed over �Oh my
sweet penneth, what is wrong� �Me�Meoen�pie�ch�cherry pie, saes�

After three
forkfuls, Legolas sighed, �Meoen, you have always been like a Naneth to me� The
elleth blushed �Oh daro�Genderel is your Naneth� The prince chuckled �Nay, I
mean nai, he is but, you�you are an elleth� �Ahh�go on precious� �It�s a personal
subject� �Go on precious�

Legolas took
a deep breath �When you met your mate, and he growled at you�did you feel�like
everything fit�that it was right?� Meoen took the princes hand and kissed it
�Nai, that is exactly how it felt� �Did you loose control over your actions?�
�Hmm, well, in a way�nai. He treated me good, and did not get to rough. He
always tried to make sure he could hear me� Legolas tilted his head �Hear you?�
�Well�penneth, you should be speaking to your Adar about this� �I just came from
my Adar�he just told me�oh saes Meoen, tell me?�

The elleth
let out a heavy sigh, �Alright penneth, when a dominant male comes to�claim his
mate�he is, for lack of a better word, driven. He is so intent on the bonding,
that he may not even hear you. My sweet mate always tried to make sure he could
hear me, in case he got to rough and I needed him to slow down. And if he lost
it all together, I just needed to remember to purr softly, that usually calmed
him some� Legolas sighed and finished his pie �Hannon le Meoen�

Three days
had passed, and everyone gathered at a clearing just a ways away from the main
entrance. Legolas stood tall and addressed all who had assembled �We gather
together at this time, to say farewell to Faramir. In the ancient tradition of
men, though his fea has already traveled to the halls of his forefathers, per
his wishes, we burn his remaining shell, so we may release our sorrow from his
passing�

Haldir handed
the prince the torch, and as the pyre went up in flames, Legolas placed his
hand to his heart, swept it out, lightly bowed and whispered �Namarie
Faramir�Ath-nin� Haldir paced his hand on the small of the princes back in
support. A few minutes later, Legolas just turned, and silently walked away.

The Lorien
elf suddenly felt an arm wrap itself around his bicep. Looking over, he lowered
his gaze some and smiled �Mae govannen Meoen� �Haldir�the last time we met was
at the princes begetting day celebration in Rivendel, correct?� �Nai Meoen, you
have been well?� The elleth sighed �Well, I have lost two mates now�Tamal, and
now Boromir�but I am well otherwise. Would you care to join me for a walk in
the gardens?�

Haldir bowed
politely �Perhaps another time, I should go and lend support to Legolas� Meoen
shook her head �I would stay away from him at this time� Suddenly, there was a
voice behind them �He has locked himself away in your pie cellar, I hope you
thought ahead and made extra cherry�

Meoen smiled
�Nenuial�I should have known you would attend� Haldir inclined his head �Slayer
Nenuial, why did you not travel with us, if you were going to be here for
Faramir�s farewell� �Because you needed time alone with the prince�weather you
wished it or not� Haldir rolled his eyes and sighed. Nenuial crossed his arms
and raised his brow �Do not roll your eyes at me march warden�you know I am
right, and I am sure you got to know the prince a little more� �Aye, you could
say that�

About a week
or so later, Haldir was standing on one of the balconies of the main gathering
hall, when Nenuial walked up beside him �Trying to absorb some light?� �Nai, I
have only ever lived in the golden city, Mirkwood will take some adjusting�
Nenuial nodded �Before I leave, I need you to meet me at my old chambers, say
two hours from now?� �Why� �Just be there march warden�two hours�

As the red
slayer left, Thranduil approached �Haldir, if you are to reside here�what were
planning on doing� �I thought perhaps that I would join your forces my lord�
�Mmm�very well, go and speak with my caption, Sirith� �Nai my lord�if you will
excuse me then�

Arriving at
the barracks, Haldir took a deep breath, and then entered. Ignoring all the
blatant stares from the other guards, Haldir walked over to the highest-ranking
elf he could find, inclined his head, and waited �Nai Lorien march warden
Haldir, may I help you?� �Nai, hannon le, king Thranduil sent me here to speak
with caption Sirith, is he here?� �Nay, he is off duty, try his privet
chambers�do you know the way?�

Haldir shook
his head �Nay, I do not, I still have many corridors to learn� �Well, you have
only been here a few weeks�but if the king wishes you to speak with the
caption, then I will take you� �Hannon le� When they arrived at the door, the
elf leaned close �This is it. I would be cautious though, hopefully healer
Aldamir is working. He hates it when we come and disturb the caption, and can
make you feel as small as a Hobbit with his tongue lashings� Haldir sighed �Ai,
I met him in Rivendel� The elf smiled �Good luck then march warden�

As the commander
walked away, Haldir straightened his Lorien grays and knocked. The door slowly
opened �Well, Haldir of Lorien, how may I help you, there are no poisoned edain
here for you to visit� Haldir chuckled �Mea govannen healer Aldamir, king
Thranduil sent me to speak with caption Sirith� Aldamir rolled his eyes �Very
well, come in�Sirith, Haldir of Lorien is here to see you by Thranduils
request�

Sirith
emerged from the bedroom and inclined his head �This is not a good time march
warden, come back in two hours� Haldir furrowed his brow �I�I am to met with
slayer Nenuial in two hours� Sirith raised his brow �Really? Well, it maters
not�I know why you are here. You wish for a position. I will have to give
thought to this Haldir�you are a seasoned warrior and a march warden, but you
are also the princes intended, it would not be wise for me to put you at risk
right now. Give me time�

Sirith then
motioned to Aldamir for some privacy. As the healer left the room, Sirith drew
close �I will find you a position Haldir�I know your reputation, you work hard
to the point of overwork, so having nothing to do right now must be driving you
mad�� Sirith placed his hand on Haldir�s shoulder ��I also know that you have
never lived outside of Lothlorien, and have only visited Imladris. Worry not, I
will find a place for you, something challenging�just give me time�until
then, I would like for you to learn the layout of the palace, learn the core of
your new home, then we will expand�

Haldir
lightly bowed �Hannon le caption Sirith� �Your welcome, now, when are you to
meet with Nenuial and where� �Shortly, his old chambers� Sirith walked him into
the hall �Very well, go down four corridors, then left to the end of the hall.
His old chamber is the last door�the hall is dark�no one ever goes there,
except the prince. Even with him gone and living in Rivendel, it is avoided
faster then the dungeon� Before he closed the door, Sirith nodded �Welcome to
Mirkwood Haldir�

When he
reached the door, Haldir raised his hand to knock, but the door flung open �I
have something for you march warden� The red slayer then handed him a letter
�It was entrusted to me, to be delivered to you� Haldir looked at the seal and
furrowed his brow �It is from Faramir?� �Nai, I was to keep it safe and give it
to you upon his death� Haldir took a deep breath and sighed �Hannon le slayer
Nenuial, I will go and read it now� Arriving back at his chambers, Haldir sat
behind the desk that the room provided, broke the seal and began to read.

Haldir~
There are some
things I have wanted to say to you.
1) I admire
you greatly. You have stood aside and watched, as the one you loved remained
with other�an adan no less. You have shown a dedication and straight that is
beyond my comprehension.
2) I know the
prince, after I am gone, he will try and remain alone for a time, even though I
told him not to. But�as you likely know, he can be very determined. He will
want to do the proper thing, even though it is not necessary.
3) I am gone
now�do not wait any longer Haldir. Put down this letter and go�go and claim
your life mate. Make him happy. Go Haldir�go now.
~Ath
Faramir

Haldir
blinked, then shook his head and read the letter again. The march warden slowly
put the parchment down, tilted his head, and stood as he growled �Nai� then ran
out of his chamber and down the hall.
