Next morning...

Aragorn woke up and saw Legolas staring at something that he
couldn't see. He got to his feet and made his way to
Legolas.

"Legolas?" he asked. There was no answer from Legolas, so he
asked again.

"Legolas?" He almost shouted at Legolas.

Coming closer, he saw Legolas' eyes filled with tears. He
sniffed the air - he swore he could smell the salt from the
sea.

Legolas turned to him and said: "I desire the sea. I must
see the sea, it sings to me." Turning away from Aragorn, he
began to walk towards the distant horizon.

Aragorn followed him, quietly worried about his friend.

Half a day passed before they reached the shore.

Legolas walked on the sand, and then began to run towards
the sea, heedless of the rocks and shells under his feet. He
ran as if there was an army chasing after him. He wanted to
feel the sea that called to him. His heart melted, his eyes
staring as the gulls cried, as he smelt the salt from the
sea.

He fell, and found his face covered with wet sand Aragorn
saw his friend fall, and ran to him as fast as he could.
When he saw Legolas' face, he began to laugh to himself.

"Legolas, let me help you," he said to his friend. He helped
Legolas to get on his feet, and then helped him to clean his
face.

"Now, let's see what cause you to fall," Aragorn said and
began to look for whatever it was that had tripped the elf.

"Legolas!" Aragorn called to Legolas, and saw that Legolas
was still staring at the sea.

Aragorn bent down and picked up a shell lying at his feet.
"What this?" he asked the elf. At his question, Aragorn has
Legolas' attention.

Legolas saw the beautiful shell that Aragorn had found; the
shell was pink, and it shone in the sunlight.

Aragorn opened the shell carefully, trying not to get his
fingers caught. There was a lovely pearl within the shell.

"Legolas -isn't it beautiful? It reminds me of Arwen's
beauty." He said the name of his love softly.

"Aragorn -you have found the Pearl of Love," Legolas said.

"What?" Aragorn asked, wondering at his friend's words.

"All the elves look for the Pearl of Love. And you have
found it," Legolas said, as he felt his heart melt again as
the sea started to sing to him.

Aragorn closed the shell carefully so that the pearl would
not fall out, and put the shell in the pocket of his tunic.
Grabbing Legolas by the hands, he forcibly led Legolas away
from the sea.

That evening, as darkness fell...

"Legolas, how do you feel?" Aragorn asked him. He was
worried about his friend's emotions about the sea.

"My heart desires the sea," Legolas whispered to his
friend.

Aragorn took the shell out of his pocket. Seeing Legolas
approach him, he opened the shell and removed the pearl.

"This is the Pearl of Love," Legolas said to him, and
explained: "When a person is in love, and he finds the Pearl
of Love, then that love is blessed."

Legolas looked at his friend, looking into the heart and
mind of Aragorn and seeing the deep love that he had for the
beautiful Arwen.

"I think you should give her the Pearl of Love as the sign
of your love," Legolas said, and began to sing the song of
Aragorn and Arwen's love.

Aragorn was staring at the pearl. He heard Legolas' voice
raised in song, and began to hum.

Love filled the air
Aragorn found the beauty
The Pearl of Love.
The pearl that no one
Found before

Arwen. Pearl on your necklace
Shining on the love between
You both.
As Aragorn found the pearl.
The Pearl of Love.

Legolas stopped singing. He saw that Aragorn was staring at
him and smiled.

"This is the song of the pearl?" Aragorn asked him in
wonder.

"Yes, my friend. The pearl that no one found before,"
Legolas said to him.

"Legolas, take your rest. I'll take first watch. Go to
sleep," Aragorn said to his friend.

Legolas slept in the manner of elves, with his eyes open,
and his hands crossed over his chest. He slept peacefully,
like the sea.

Aragorn saw that his friend finally slept. He looked again
at the pearl, amazed at its beauty, and remembering the
beauty of Arwen.

He watched the darkening sky, and saw his friend in peaceful
sleep. And he hummed to himself the song of the 'Pearl of
Love'.

The End?

Will Aragorn give Arwen the Pearl of Love?
Will this story be continued?
What about Legolas' desire?
Will Aragorn help him overcome the call of the sea?
