Nature

Anna and Gandalf arrived in Lorien. Anna changed into a silver-white elf dress, and she tied up her long silver-white hair with a sea-blue ribbon.Walking barefoot on the green grass, looking at the blooming Elano and Neferidil, Anna suddenly remembered Rose Lorien, who also came to the blooming Melon tree in winter.

It was still Haldir who brought them in. Seeing Anna's new image, Haldir couldn't help being stunned, and it took him a long time to salute.

"His Royal Highness Kai Mengting..." he said slowly, bowing, his long silver hair was cold.

Walking on the grass in Karasgarathon, Anna saw many elves gathering together and whispering, she couldn't help asking, "Haldir, what are they talking about?"

"They are talking about Kaimenting's change." Haldir replied, "Kimengting is now a mermaid family in the sea. This is the first time we have seen them on the shore."

"She is Erjawin's successor, Queen of the Mermaids," added Gandalf. "There are many things, aren't they?"

Anna glanced at Gandalf, thinking sourly that she would rather have the simple but possibly unattainable status of wife of Legolas.

Haldir took a deep look at Anna, "Madame will be very happy." He said.

Once again they climbed the Foret, and saw Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, but unexpectedly, there was Elrond beside them.

The three elf lords were shocked, but soon the lady laughed.

"It is a good thing, Mythrandil," she said. "As you say, when Sauron's power returns, there will be war. Now we have won the help of the sea, since Morgoth The power that has always been hated."

"Actually, war has already broken out." Anna narrated the Battle of the Five Armies and told everyone about her efforts.

"You did a good job." Celeborn said, "Obviously, if the eagle does not arrive in time, the Dale State and the Kingdom of the Mountains will fall, and the army of the Mirkwood will be empty. After the enemy surrounds the Woodland Kingdom, Lorien and Glen will be in jeopardy gone."

Elrond also smiled, "We should thank you, Kai Mengting. Of course, I am also very glad that you have learned the power of the sword, which is to protect the one you love."

After a short stay in Lorien for a few days, Anna went to the valley with Elrond, leaving Lady Galadriel to recuperate in Lorien. Only after Anna asked did she find out that the Lady went to Dol Guldur alone to save Gandalf.

"You guys are so adventurous!" Anna didn't know what to say.

"This is the decision of the Baidaohui."

Anna was speechless, but she was also very sad to see Madam suffering. She wanted to stay, but Galadriel said to her: "You need to go to the valley, you are very young now, and you need to exercise your strength , Enrich your knowledge, only then can you take on the responsibility of the Mermaid Queen."

"You will meet a man," said Elrond. "He is my adopted son, Estel, but you should know his identity, Camentine."

Anna was taken aback, what did he mean, did he know that he knew the truth of many things?

But Elrond went on, "His real name is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, offspring of Isildur."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I understand, I will keep it a secret." Then she thought of her new friend Arwen in Lorien, and the story of the two of them.

"Arwen doesn't need to go back?" Anna said.

"Let her stay in Lorien for a while, and there will be fewer days like this in the future." Elrond said, looking into the distance sadly.

After Anna came to Rivendell, she was warmly welcomed by the elves.

Glorfindel looked at Anna's hair and joked, "You don't have to worry about your hair turning gray now."

Anna glared at Glorfindel and said deliberately, "How about some respect? I'm the new queen!"

The tall blond elf shrugged and smiled noncommittally.

Anna began to learn the Sindarin language. She tried to integrate into the elves. She ate what the elves ate, wore what the elves wore, and used what the elves used. Except that she turned into a mermaid when taking a bath, she seemed to be no different from ordinary elves.

She seems to have returned to the age of learning, learning fixed things at a fixed time every day, sometimes practicing swordsmanship and archery with Glorfindel, and sometimes learning various knowledge of elves with the help of Elrond. Soak in the library all day.

During this period, she got to know the twins of Elrond, Elradan and Elohir, and often rode with them on the grassland. Of course, that Estel was indispensable.Anna watched Estelle grow up from ten years old to a handsome young man, and the future emperor called her His Highness instead of Sister Kai Mengting.

Ana's archery and sword skills improved by leaps and bounds under Glorfindel's guidance, but Fairel never recovered.

Gandalf brought her the longbow when he found her, but told her that the sword was not found.

"I don't know where it went, but it must have been picked up by the Green Elf. By chance, you will definitely see it again."

Ten years later, Anna can speak Sindarin fluently.

Elrond told her that the voices of the mermaids had the power of demagogy, and that they could make each other believe their words without knowing it, but this trick was seldom effective with the elves.

The mermaid likes to sing, and Anna likes it too, but unfortunately she didn't have a good voice before, so when Goldfinger opened up, she loved it very much. Sitting in the river and singing in the silent night, the moonlight shone on Anna's body, from the silver Reflected on the scales of the fish, the long silver-white hair was lined with a layer of soft light.Although most of the mermaid's songs were bleak, the elves in the valley did not complain. They said that listening to Kai Mengting's singing was a pleasant enjoyment, especially when they fell asleep in the dead of night.

Occasionally, elves would gather around streams and waterfalls and listen to Anna singing ballads. Her cold voice was like weeping, telling the tragedy of the fall of Gondolin, the elegy of the death of the Two Sacred Trees, and the love of Lucien Beren.

One night, Anna was still sitting on the bank, letting the fish tail slap the stream.She looked up at the stars in the sky, and watched the elves in the valley raise a bonfire to celebrate the great achievements of Estel and the twins who had just returned triumphantly. She thought of the sadness and loneliness in Rivendell ten years ago.She looked at the water surface and caressed her smooth face, as if seeing that old face again.

"When you are old and gray and sleepy,

Sitting tiredly by the fire, take down this book,

Read it slowly, chasing the eyes of the dream

That soft look and deep vignette.

How many people have loved the film of your youth,

Loved your beauty, with falsehood or truth,

Only one loves your pilgrim heart,

I love the traces of time on your mournful face.

By the grate you stooped,

Whispering, with a little sadness,

How love dies, how it climbs the hills,

How to hide your face among the stars. "

She sang slowly, remembering how she hid in the room crying, how lonely and helpless she was in the river, how she ran away from him when the golden leaves were falling, how she passed him by the twists and turns of the underground palace, how she passed by him on the icy cliff And he is so close.

The voice became more and more mournful and mournful. The moonlight shone faintly on the calm water, and Anna felt desolate when she saw it.She curled up, crawled on the shore, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Anna woke up on the shore and was surprised to see a cloak draped over her shoulders.She touched the dark green cloak, wondering who was so kind.

She came to the shore slowly, gathered up her cloak, and a fresh fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose.

Her strength was not refined enough to be made into a long skirt, so Anna walked back to her room with the cloak on.

Estelle hurried past and narrowly missed Anna around the corner.

"Oh! Udomir!" he shouted, and suddenly saw Anna's long silver hair, "No! No!" He was a little embarrassed, his face turned slightly red, "I'm sorry, Kai Mengting." He said in a low voice , then walked away quickly with his head down.

Anna watched Estelle leave strangely, her black hair was still combed neatly, but it always felt weird.

"Eya Anna!" A cry came from behind, and Anna suddenly turned her head, only to see Arwen walking slowly.

"Long time no see." She smiled, "You are getting more and more beautiful."

"Being smarter and smarter." Anna replied in Elvish, seeing Arwen's surprised but happy expression, she also smiled.

Arwen stopped using English, and she asked Anna how she was doing, quite naturally.

"It's very easy. You don't need to worry about it or endure loneliness." Anna told the truth, but was stunned when she saw a figure.

A blond, blue-eyed elf in a silver robe walked towards Anna.

"Oh, that's Legolas, son of Thranduil." Arwen saw the elf and introduced to Anna. "I was going to Rivendell when he visited his lady, so I came with him."

Legolas had deep eyes, nodded to Anna, and said nothing more.

Anna didn't know what to say, she opened her mouth, and it took a long time to make a sound: "Long time no see." She said coyly.

"Do you know each other?" Arwen's eyes widened, but she immediately remembered something, "That's right, you two should have met during the Battle of the Five Armies. Then I don't need to introduce it."

Legolas had no intention of leaving. Arwen also happily told Anna that he met a human man in the forest yesterday evening. Anna kept responding, "Yes. Got it." But her eyes kept looking at Legolas. Stein glanced away.

Arwen immediately sensed that something was wrong, but seeing Anna's room arrived, she smiled and said, "Go and change your clothes first." Her eyes turned around Anna, and locked on the dark green cloak, Then he glanced at the expressionless Legolas, "We still have to go see our father."

Anna locked herself in the room, her heart was beating excitedly, why did he come here!Why did he come!She suddenly found that there was some jealousy, but then there was deep worry-why did he have an indifferent expression and didn't say a word.

After Anna fixed her clothes, there was a knock on the door. Anna opened the door and found that it was Legolas. She trembled and almost closed the door directly.

"Hello." She smiled awkwardly, a little at a loss.

Legolas looked at her indifferently, remained silent for a long time, and handed her a sword. "Your Fiariel," he said, "I found it near you."

Anna looked at the sword blankly, "Thank you." She said sincerely, "This sword was given to me by Aoli. I thought it was washed into the river by the water, and I couldn't find it anymore."

Legolas' expression softened a little, "I should also thank you. You saved my life, and in Lorien, I heard that you moved the reinforcements in time to save us from the fire."

Anna stared straight at Legolas, not seeing anything unusual on his face, and decided to expose the matter of breaking into the palace, "Each to each other." She smiled.

The author has something to say: When we meet again, Legolas has changed a bit, mainly because he has not recovered from the broken relationship and the war.

When You Are Old - Yeats (translated by Li Liwei)

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

Andnodding by the fire, takedown this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Youreye shadows once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

Andlovedyourbeautywithlovefalseortrue,

Butone man loved the pilgrim Soulin you,

And loved the sorrow of your changing face;

And ending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, alittlesadly, howLovefled

Andpaced upon the mountains overhead

Andhidhis face amid crowd of stars.

When you are old and gray and sleepy,

Sitting tiredly by the fire, take down this book,

Read it slowly, chasing the eyes of the dream

That soft look and deep vignette.

How many people have loved the film of your youth,

Loved your beauty, with falsehood or truth,

Only one loves your pilgrim heart,

I love the traces of time on your mournful face.

By the grate you stooped,

Whispering, with a little sadness,

How love dies, how it climbs the hills,

How to hide your face among the stars.
