[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

The beauty of Lorien did not completely wipe away the shadows in everyone's hearts. Gandalf's departure made their subsequent journey lose their direction. After meeting Celeborn and Galadriel, the expedition team set off in the tent provided by the elves. A small meeting to discuss today's journey and, by the way, gossip about the Galadriel couple. As a regular resident of Lorien, Ellena happily told them many stories about her grandparents, some of which are fascinating , some are sad.

The moonlight flowed on the earth, and the singing of the elves floated over with the breeze, and they couldn't help being attracted by the singing.

Legolas listened intently, with a sad expression gradually appearing on his face, he lowered his head: "They are singing a dirge for Gandalf."

Aragorn silently put down the sword he was wiping, and looked towards the place where the singing sound came from.

"What are they singing?" Pippin asked curiously.

"I can't bear to tell you that this is a tragedy that should be weeped, not a memory that should be sung in songs. The grief still lingers in my heart." Legolas' deep blue eyes were dimmed with grief, and he spoke to the For everyone in the team, losing Gandalf is a personal pain. All his teachings, words and deeds, and even his hair that has never been tidy often come to everyone's minds.

Elena's expression also became depressed, and she covered her face, as if this could calm the pain and guilt in her heart.It's one thing to hear a story, quite another to actually experience it.The fall of Gandalf weighed on her heart like a boulder, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if he couldn't come back from the other shore, and she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"They must not have mentioned Gandalf's fireworks," said Sam, who was squatting on the ground to make the bedding, "should write a poem to commemorate it." Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he suddenly stood up and read aloud:

The most beautiful Huaguang I have ever seen in this life

Blooming like blue-green sparks in the sky

A loud noise like a waterfall of silver light

Just like the pouring rain of flowers, it is dazzling

He paused, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "That scene is far more breathtaking than this." Then he sat back in frustration.

"No, it's already very good," Ellena smiled at him, "Sam, you really brought us a surprise. It's late, you should go to rest." After she got up and was about to leave, Lego Russ walked beside her.

"Where are you going?" Frodo asked, somewhat puzzled.

Elena blinked and showed a somewhat mysterious smile: "Oh, dear little Frodo, Legolas and I still have some things to do. Go to sleep, Lorien will take all of you tired."

She hadn't lied to Frodo, she and Legolas had something to do, and only two of them.

When you're feeling down, a warm hug always works wonders.

The hazy moonlight rippled round and round on the spacious and soft big bed, and Ellena was lying on Legolas panting lightly, fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and her brown eyes were filled with a hazy layer of water. Fog obviously hasn't recovered from the extreme joy.

Legolas' slender fingers gently combed Ellena's long hair. For some reason, Ellena cared about her hair very much. Her hair was indeed beautiful, soft and smooth, and felt Like satin, it was always prone to knots, so Legolas was used to combing her hair before going to bed.He looked at the body covered by long hair in a daze. Elena's skin was very fair, and the bruise marks he accidentally made were particularly obvious. Legolas pursed his lips, and carefully pushed aside the marks that fell on her. The hair on Ellena's shoulders, and tremblingly caressed the scar that stretched from her left shoulder to her tailbone.

This is not the first time he has seen this scar, but every time he sees it, he can't help but think of Ellena's fragility covered in blood and curled up in the spider silk for the first time, and, The heartache and panic when Ellena was cut during the Battle of the Five Armies.Legolas knew very well that Elrina was a brave and excellent warrior, but he didn't want to see her charge on the battlefield at all. He only wanted her to stay in a safe elf sanctuary, or follow her clansman Xi ferry.

"Hiss, you're hurting me." Ellena complained tearfully, and Legolas realized that he had just lost control and tore off a strand of Ellena's hair, and he apologized embarrassingly. But the mood can't help but become depressed because of the things thought of.

"What's wrong? Didn't I promise to stay in Lorien?" Elena raised her head and kissed Legolas' melancholy side face.

Legolas returned the kiss with a smile: "It's nothing, I was just thinking that I will miss you a lot on the way."

"Obviously, this is bound to happen." Ellena sat up straight with some complacency, and looked down at Legolas who was pressed down by her, "You will regret what you did before that time." Refuse me to follow your wrong decision."

Legolas' eyes were a little deep, and his nimble fingers slowly traced Ellena's waist, feeling Ellena's slight trembling because of this movement, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, then Just stay with you for a while now while you are still by my side."

……

Lorien is the best resting place for the traveler, even for Legolas and Elrina, who have been here many times.They have enough time to do something that both of them want to do before parting. Perhaps it is the approaching darkness that makes them cherish the time spent with each other more. During the day, the two will travel around the city of the tree people , and sometimes bring the boring Gimli who pulls his beard, and at night, it is a lingering intimate contact.

Undoubtedly, these days will be very fond memories for Ellena and Legolas, but the expedition will not and cannot stop in the past, when the breath of early spring blows over this land , the day of departure is approaching.

On the morning of departure, Ellena, Legolas, and some Lorien elves who could speak Common Tongue brought a lot of food and clothing to the tent where other expedition members lived. Its actual space was larger than its appearance A lot, enough to accommodate a dozen tall men like Aragorn.When they went, everyone was starting to pack their luggage. To be honest, after the battle in Moria, only the clothes and weapons were left on their luggage. Fortunately, Galadriel and Celeborn generously helped them replenish the necessary Prepare supplies.

"We have never given the clothes of the elves to foreigners." Ellena lowered her head and focused on pinning the cloak brooch on Frodo, which was a beautiful green leaf. "May these cloaks help you avoid the enemy's attack." eyes and ears."

In addition, there is also a large amount of elf dry food. This is a thin cake, the outer layer is baked in light brown, and the inner layer is the color of cream. Curious Pippin and Merry tentatively picked up a piece and stuffed it into their mouths. Then his eyes lit up, and he devoured food with both hands. Eating, especially delicious food, is one of the three most important things in a hobbit's life.

"Don't eat it," Legolas said, still picked up a piece and took a bite, and said with a smile, "This is Lambas, the dry food of the elves. A small bite is enough for a grown man to fill up." It’s full.” He jumped ashore and continued to work on loading the rest of the luggage to the boat they were going to take.

"How much did you eat?" Merry asked Pippin in a low voice.

"Four dollars." Pippin licked his mouth with some insatiable desire, and then hiccupped loudly.

Celeborn and Galadriel stood on the bank to bid farewell to everyone, and Ellena stood behind them. She was dressed so beautifully and grandly today that no one else could recognize her.

Galadriel took out a curved dagger in an exquisite scabbard, engraved with complex elven characters, and she handed it to Aragorn: "This is what Celeborn and Galadriel gave to the captain of the expedition. Is there anything else you want before you leave?"

Aragorn replied, his vicissitudes of face were very gentle when describing his request: "Madame, you know my wish, and you have been unwilling to give me the only treasure I hope for. However, I know that even if you are willing, That is not what you can give me. I have to go through many darkness to win this precious gift."

"Perhaps this will lighten your burden," said Galadriel, "someone has left this for me to give it to you when you pass by." Then she held out her right hand, and a necklace lay On the palm of her hand, the silver pendant was carved into the shape of a giant eagle spreading its wings, with a white gemstone inlaid in the middle that reflected the brilliant light.

Aragorn accepted this special gift with a complicated expression, and put it on carefully. "Thank you for your gift," said he. "You brought Celebrion and Arwen into the world, and that is the greatest gift."

Galadriel nodded slightly, and gave Boromir a golden belt. Pippin and Merry each got a dagger of the Noldor, which had experienced the baptism of war. A gray wooden box contained the soil from Lorien's garden, which made the short gardener flush with excitement, and bowed as big as he could while holding the box.

Next came Legolas, and Galadriel smiled and said: "Legolas, you have already taken away the most precious gift around me, but Elena will not let you leave me empty-handed." .My gift to you is the Bow of Galantrium, which alone is worthy of the archery of our elves."

After thanking him with a reddish face, Legolas took the longbow and its matching bag of arrows. He carried them on his back, and then stepped forward to hug Ellena who was watching him with a smile. He kissed affectionately. He kissed his wife and promised in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll be back."

Elena took off the ruby ​​necklace she was wearing all the time, which was a gift from Sorin, and she put it into Legolas' hand: "Let it be by your side instead of me."

"Okay, I'll wear it next to my body." Legolas kissed Ellena's forehead lightly, seeing Ellena's hesitant expression, asked with some doubts, "You What else do you want to tell us?"

"Pay attention to Boromir," Elena glanced at the big man of Gondor who was sitting on the same boat with Merry and Pippin, and said seriously, "He is a brave and good man, but the pressure on his shoulders is too heavy , in order to protect Gondor, he is likely to do some irrational and dangerous actions."

Legolas obviously understood, and a look of shock, doubt and solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he nodded seriously: "Don't worry."

When it was time to leave, and Legolas was about to board the ship and set sail, they gave each other a final hug, and Legolas turned to leave.

"Legolas," Ellena couldn't help calling him, but all the words were forgotten in the love in those blue eyes, and she only said one sentence, "I Wait for you."
