Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

Legolas looked at Aragorn quietly. They were just talking about the childhood of Aragorn and Anila, but now Aragorn was in a trance again, his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and it seemed that there was nothing Looking at it, the gray eyes sometimes turn gray-blue in the bright sparks that occasionally burst out from the campfire, and sometimes reflect gray-green, looking a little melancholy under the starlight.

"Otherwise you go to rest, Estelle." Legolas said kindly, "I'll help you watch here, I can't sleep anyway."

"Ah, that's not necessary." Aragorn flicked his pipe and said, "There shouldn't be any troubles tonight. I'm here just because I can't sleep. Even if there is any emergency, Vidi is up there Will hear it right away."

"Velodyus? Up there?" Legolas asked in surprise.

Aragorn pointed to a big tree on the edge of the forest.

When Legolas went up, Anila was leaning on a branch looking at the boundless starry sky, and adjusted her posture slightly when she heard him coming up.

"Good evening, Legolas." Anila greeted him. "There are so many stars tonight. I was wondering if you would come up to take a look. Did you meet Estel?"

"Yes, we talked for a while," Legolas replied, "but how do you know?"

"If someone hadn't told you, there are so many trees, why did you choose the one on top of me?" Anila said.

The atmosphere seemed a bit weird, Legolas tried to change the subject: "But you and Estel both like stars, Velodis. I always thought that only Silvan elves like starlight, humans and dwarves don't always like stars. Do you think Starlight is too cold?"

"That kid Estel likes stars for a special reason." Anila said with a muffled laugh.

"He said he was in love with one of them." Legolas laughed too.

"Oh? He told you?" Anila sighed softly, "Yes, I fell in love with the most beautiful and most unreachable one."

"Well, since there are so many stars in the sky, why should we love only one?" said Legolas.

"Oh, you would say such a thing." Anila looked at him in surprise, "I thought elves were very loyal and dedicated, and once they fell in love with someone, they would not change easily."

"Loyalty, that's for lifelong partners who have already concluded marriage, or at least consensual lovers." Legolas said, "Even elves, not every love can be reciprocated, and we It is not born to know who is the other half of one's destiny. It often happens that multiple elves pursue a person at the same time. If we fall in love with a person, we must hang ourselves on that tree. Miserable."

"So you don't love Tauriel anymore?"

"Tauriel?" Legolas took a second to realize why Anila suddenly mentioned her, and felt embarrassed, "Hey, don't mention what happened at that time... And you are right, Velodis, I'm afraid that my feelings for Tauriel were not to the point of being called love."

"Hmm." Anila snorted rather narrowly, "However, you don't have to worry too much, the heart of the star Estel has longed for has already belonged to him alone."

"So they are in love with each other?" Legolas was very happy, "But looking at Estel, it seems that things are not going so smoothly, Velodis, you just said that the star is far away and……"

"That girl's bloodline is quite noble." Anila said, "And her father didn't agree with this marriage."

"I see." Legolas said, "However, with Estel's ability, he will become a very powerful general sooner or later, and he may even have his own fief. At that time, the girl's father Will you agree to marry your daughter to him?"

Anila giggled: "How can the general be qualified to marry that noble lady? The girl's father can say that her daughter will not marry if she is not a human emperor!"

"Oh my god, how could there be such a conceited father?!" Legolas exclaimed, "Even a son-in-law like Esther is despised, I think his daughter will probably never get married in her lifetime .”

Anila choked back her laughter until she hurt internally.

60 years later, Rivendell—

Legolas: "Lord Elrond, today I take the liberty to ask you to marry your daughter to me."

Elrond chuckled like a spring breeze: "His Royal Highness Prince Legolas really likes to joke." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Legolas: "..."

Aragorn patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Then why do you like starlight so much, Velodis?"

"Me? Tauriel once said that starlight is memory, and that's true." Anila raised her head, and a large starlight poured into her eyes, "But it's not the first time I heard this from her. In other words, the first time I heard this sentence, it was a long time ago, but the starry sky always reminds me of those things..."

I don't know if it's because of the starry sky in her eyes, but now her eyes have become trance and misty, deep and distant, as if her eyes have leaped through the starry sky to several centuries ago.

Is this probably the difference between Anila and Aragorn?The same look of melancholy under the night sky, Aragorn's face always has a little youthful feeling, his troubles seem to be the troubles that every young man may have, but this is actually the normal isn't it?Speaking of which, these two people are not yet 30 years old, but Anila is not. Her appearance at night is the kind of absolute deepness that can only be seen after years of baptism. There are many stories hidden in her eyes .

Even so, in Legolas' eyes, Anila was still a little tender...

"You're only 29 years old, Velodis." Legolas sighed helplessly, "Don't say the word 'a long time ago' to a 2000-year-old elf?"

"..." Anila's contemplation was interrupted, she turned her head and glared at Legolas with some dissatisfaction.

Those eyes were full of starlight, shining brightly, and extremely gorgeous. The eyes that were originally a look of anger became affectionate, which made Legolas stunned for a moment.

Then Anila smiled, her eyes narrowed, and the starlight sprinkled from the corners of her eyes, she said: "Your eyes are so beautiful, Legolas, it's like containing stars."

Velodis is so narcissistic, Legolas thought, he hadn't been looking at the stars at all just now.

"Oh, but those things really seem very far away to me." Anila held her chin, "However, it is said to be far away, but in fact it seems very close. Whenever I look at the starry sky At that time, the scene at that time is still vivid.”

Looking at Anila's expression, Legolas suddenly felt that something was wrong. Anila was clearly just like Aragorn in her current state. There was a little melancholy in her thoughts, but the melancholy couldn't cover up the joy in it.But, wasn't Aragorn thinking of the girl he admired just now?

"The one who told you the phrase 'starlight is memory' was the deceased person you mentioned in Tehapua before?" Legolas asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Anila looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Guess." Legolas replied bluntly.

Anila froze for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "Are you angry?"

Legolas pursed his lips and said nothing.

"But why?" Anila was at a loss, "If I said something wrong, I apologize to you, but you have to let me know what upset you."

"...Do you still like that person?" Legolas asked muffled.

Anila blinked, suddenly realized, and felt dumbfounded at the same time.

"If you still like him, then what did you mean when you said you liked me?" Legolas' ears were red, but he asked stubbornly.

This is the first time that the two of them have brought up the somewhat complicated relationship between them. Since they left Mirkwood, the two of them have tacitly never mentioned this matter again, and Anila has never said anything about it again. Once he liked Legolas, Legolas also pretended to be deaf and dumb that the previous thing had never happened, because he really liked Anila very much, as a friend.

"Why do you ask that?" Anila asked. "You don't like me, do you?"

Legolas choked, what was he going to answer?Could it be that Anila could trick him into liking her just because he wasn't planning to reciprocate Anila's feelings?Or she didn't deceive herself, she liked him, but at the same time she still liked the person she liked before?

"Is there anything similar between me and that man?" he asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Anila blinked blankly, and after realizing it, she made a bitter face, "I don't want to lie to you, Legolas."

"I can tell even if you're lying to me, so you can just tell the truth." Legolas sneered, "Is there any similarity between me and that person?"

"...It's almost exactly the same, in every respect."

"Impossible! Where will there be exactly the same people? What is different about us?"

Anila thought about it depressedly: "Yes, he likes me, but you don't like me."

Legolas turned over in anger and was about to fall off the tree.

"Don't, don't, don't go!" Anila rushed over and hugged Legolas with sharp eyes and quick hands.If she was the scum of the past, it would be fine if she was misunderstood like this, but now she has changed her mind and persisted in her infatuation for hundreds of years. She didn't expect that she would be beaten back to her original shape in the heart of the person she likes, can this be tolerated?

But of course she didn't have the dexterity of an elf, she caught it with her hands, but her feet couldn't stand firmly, her center of gravity was tilted and she was about to fall, and she was caught by Legolas into his arms at the critical moment. .

"Be careful." Legolas lost all his anger, helplessly helped Anila to sit carefully again.

"You must listen to my explanation." Anila grabbed Legolas' clothes and said earnestly, "Don't say 'I won't listen to me' or something like that."

The corner of Legolas' mouth twitched: "Okay, I'll just listen."

"What happened up there? Are you two okay?" Aragorn's voice came from under the tree.

"It's nothing, just my foot slipped." Anila replied loudly.

The people below were silent for a while, and then Aragorn's voice sounded hesitant to speak again: "Vidi, please be a little more reserved..."

"..." Aragorn, you are really my brother!

"So what are you going to say, Velodis?" Legolas lowered his head and asked.

"Uh..." What?Are the so-called two people I like actually one person at all?Anila felt distressed and could not tell.

"I'm not angry because you don't like me, Velodis." Legolas lowered his head and sighed, "Some people want as many people as possible to like them, even if they don't like them, they don't want to Make those people fall in love with other people. I'm not that kind of person."

I know, you are not, I was.

"Do you still remember that you got angry with Taurier in Mirkwood before? You accused Taurier of being unable to recognize your feelings and see your heart clearly, but how are you different from her now?" Lai Golas said, "You still like that man, Velodis, even though he's gone, but you still love him. You just happened to meet me who resembled him in some ways, so you cheated You lied to me, and you lied to yourself..."

"No, no, stop! Stop!" Anila interrupted Legolas with a wave of her hand, "What you said is completely just your guess, what kind of substitute, what imaginary enemy, it's all because of your overthinking! Now you have to listen to me-"

Under Legolas' surprised gaze, Anila cupped his face and looked into his eyes without hesitation.

"Elves can judge whether a person is lying or not by looking at them, right?" Anila asked him, "Now, look into my eyes, and you will know whether what I am saying is true or not. "

Although her expression was firm, her movements were very gentle and even cautious, leaving enough room for Legolas to refuse. As long as Legolas frowned even a little, she would let go immediately. .

But it must be that her eyes are so beautiful, like a starry sky, and like a green ocean, in which there are glittering and dreamy schools of fish - Legolas has never seen the sea before, but this time At this moment, he could only think of the place that was praised by countless literati and the elves most yearned for—that's why he didn't resist at all, just listening to her word by word, as if he wanted to engrave Speak those words as if they entered his heart.

"I like you, Legolas, no, I think I can say that I love you very much, and I love you only, you are my present, my star, irreplaceable in my heart That person. Maybe I once had a crush on other people, it must be because he is so like you, whenever I think of him, I will think of you again, but you are right, there can be no Two people who are exactly the same, if there is any difference between you, it is that he can only bring me good memories, but only with you, I can see my entire future!"

Anila looked straight into Legolas' eyes, affectionately, but facing such fiery eyes, Legolas just lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.

There was a subtle silence.

Anila hesitated for a while, but still tentatively approached Legolas inch by inch.

The distance between them seems to have never been so close, each other's breath is warm on the face, each other's eyelashes can be seen clearly, and each other's heartbeat has never been felt violently.

Just when Anila was about to kiss her, Legolas suddenly turned his face away, pulling the distance between the two of them.

"I, I see what you mean, Velodis, I know what you said is true, I appreciate it, no, I mean I'm sorry." Legolas said incoherently, "But I don't ……You know me……"

The cool wind blowing at night quickly dissipated the lingering warmth.

"I understand." Anila nodded with a smile, "It's okay, what I said just now was not to force you to accept what you don't want."

A cloud happened to pass by, covering the sky full of stars, and Anila couldn't see the expression on Legolas' face clearly.

"It's getting so late," Anila said, "go down and tell Estelle that he should go to rest, please?"

"how about you?"

"I'll stay a little longer...just a little while."

Legolas hesitated to speak. "Sorry." Finally, he whispered annoyedly, and disappeared.

"..." Anila stared silently for a while, sighed helplessly, and sat down again in a comfortable place among the branches.

Looking up, there is a dark blue starry sky, and looking down, there is a vast dark green forest. The surroundings are silent except for the occasional chirping of insects. It seems that she is the only one left in the huge world at this moment.
