Middle-Earth: Bright Stars & Durin's Folk { Wolf & Angel }

Saeril did indeed somehow have been able to read and see Yavanna's memory; she saw every bit of it within every image. It gave her a sense of sadness, having to feel the same amount that the princess felt, currently. She herself shed a tear, at the same time when the girl began to shed a few. When the memory disappeared, the winged she-elf let go of Yavanna, having to understand her own pain. She took a few moments to process through what she saw in the younger's mind.

While they had their moment, Balin came towards the five of them. "We're about to begin if you would like to join us", he offered.

Saeril listened to Yavanna, sympathy showing within her eyes. So, her siblings tried to keep her mother's fate a secret, in order to protect her. It was sad to hear, almost too sad. The elder she-elf stepped away from Kili for a moment and laid a gentle hand upon her shoulder, in a way for comfort the young elf. The princess wasn't alone when it came to loss and tragedy; Saeril lost the entirety of her kin, Kili lost his brother and uncle, and Legolas lost his own mother. It was remarkable to how much the outside world can do to make their lives result in living within misery. Legolas could only look at her with the same expression; he wanted to comfort her right then in that time, but if only he was there to prevent it. In reality, he can't reverse what has been done. All he did was rest his forehead upon her own, closing his eyes, and mentally transferring in comfort to her.

When the mention of his mother came, Legolas was just as surprised when his father had brought it up for the first time after so many years. He looked down at the recall of the memory, even while Yavanna looked at him with her tender eyes. He looked back up again to see his father touch Yavanna in such a gentle manner. Maybe the Elf Prince was right to realize that the princess contained a lot of traits that would relate to his mother, as well as his father's wife. Maybe that was why he was attracted to her in the first place; why he was getting these such strong feelings for her. Plus, when he heard about what happened the girl's own mother, something in him told that perhaps she was right on what it felt like to lose someone dear.

When his father left, Legolas looked back at the princess, having to understand her a little better than how he initially thought. At this rate, they were currently at the same level of pain and loss.

As much as he wants to stay with Yavanna, he has to look within himself if his feelings for the young she-elf were true. A little of self-discovery should help him clear his thoughts, and let think on the princess in a more clearer light. So, by looking at the she-elf, he hoped that she would potentially understand his decision. "What is his name?", he asked his father, having to keep his eyes with the girl, while doing so.

"I do not know", he confessed, though by looking back at Yavanna, he admitted that he didn't know where he may go next. He didn't know where she should go, either with her or on his own.

Hearing his father speak to them, Legolas kept his hold on the young she-elf, even when his father mentioned for him to come home. To think of it, the Elf Prince looked back at Yavanna. "I...cannot go back", he said, making up his mind to remain with the group; the girl, in particular.

Legolas held young Yavanna within his arms, having to close his eyes briefly, and let her relieve her pain, as well as release the amount of sadness she had contained. If only there was a way to make her smile again; that beautiful, innocent smile she makes when the more joyful of moments come; a smile that made his own exterior crack, and amusingly enjoy seeing again. He wanted her to look up, and show him those glowing green eyes he saw not too long ago, when they had their moment of sharing an embrace. But now, he was seeing the sad side of her; the negative aspect of her personality. But even she did look up, the Elf Prince would still be able to savor them (even though he was unaware of their earlier color change).

However, when he heard some footsteps nearby, the blonde opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the noise, having to see his father approaching the scene. He slowly put away from Yavanna, but held both of her hands reassuringly, lightly squeezing them. "Father", he said.

Legolas looked at Tauriel, having to notice that she may have been reading his thoughts. Looking back to the young she-elf in Saeril's arms, the elf prince reluctantly approached him. This didn't go unnoticed by the older she-elf, and she responded by releasing herself slowly from the girl, leaving a lingering kiss upon her forehead, before letting the blonde take her place. He wasn't too far away from the younger, but he completed the distance by enveloping her in his arms. His one hand being gently set on the back of her head, while allowing his cheek to touch the top of her head. He wasn't sure how exactly to comfort her, but all he could do was hold her, allow her to feel into his embrace, and hopefully bring that light back.

Saeril moved back to Kili, who was still sitting next to the body of his brother, and gently tapped on his shoulder, silently telling him to stand up, and let the other dwarves take the bodies away for the funeral.

Saeril held the young she-elf in her arms, comforting her the best she could, to how a mother would for her child. She could only feel relieved that Yavanna didn't get to see his death, otherwise, it would hurt her a lot more than how it currently did. The worst part, she could get a broken heart, and her light would fade forever. The winged she-elf didn't want that for her; for it would be the last thing. Her wings transforming back into her cloak, the elder kept the young one in her grasp, closing her eyes.

Legolas could only watch, having to feel the pain coming from the girl. He came to notice that her light was fading, in response to her sadness. That light was what attached him to her; the light that made him wonder about her; think of her, though his even more stronger feelings for her came from the heart. He honestly wanted to hold her again; make her crying cease, and bring back the light he had always found within her soul. How he had longed to see her glow again...
