Chapter 15: Reunion
************************

Alone in the forest with Rivian, Solaufein held Rivian's hand and sat besides her on a log. The winter wind was still blowing and Solaufein fed the dying campfire more firewood. After a few moments, the campfire brightened the camp and the elves felt warmer. It was a remote part of the forest that few travelers passed by. Most travelers preferred to camp nearer to the main trading roads but the Solaufein was a drow and the mere sight of his skin color usually sent shivers and fear down the common traveler.

Solaufein turned his dark eyes towards his elven companion. His words were stuck in his throat as she looked at him expectantly. He had been rehearsing this scene numerous times over the last decade, and he had even written a script in his mind what he wanted to tell her. But when the time of their meeting finally arrived, he was speechless. Luckily for him, Rivian broke the silence, reliving the tension from him.

"Solaufein, how have you been?" her tone was soft and gentle. Her soft emerald-colored eyes gazed playfully at the dark elf.

"Good," he gave an one-worded answer. "I'd been looking for you, places that I think you might be.. even Amn." he continued.

"So have I, my friend. After the first few months since we parted, I tried traveling to Anauroch, but Fate kept me away with quests that I could not refuse."

Solaufein nodded, and his lips curved into a smile.

"We met at last, Rivian and not my chance I think. I had pray to my Lady Silver hair that I would see you again.. I hope our meeting this time will last longer for I greatly enjoyed your company and will give anything for more."

Rivian tensed at his subtle invitation. She had hoped that the drow's feelings for her still held after these long years and he had expressed that he wished to see her again. A hint was not enough for her though, she felt almost certain that the drow would be angry, hate her for hurting him and leaving him with a mere letter that did not even do him justice or more likely, given up his affections for a more worthy lady. She was a lost soul then and throughout the years she had reclaimed back her soul and heart.

Solaufein watched the gold elf's lips twitched as though she was going to say something but as moments passed by, no words came from her mouth. Whatever she had wanted to say, she had changed her mind. Solaufein decided that the elves being a patience race needed some more persuasion. He pulled her hands towards his chest and moved closer to her. His eyes locking hers with a burning passion and he spoke the words that were in his heart.

"You'll never know how much
your smile lights up the room,
your laughter fills my soul,
making all the little problems of the day disappear.

You may be away from my arms,
but you will never be very far from my heart.

I know my love for you will never leave.
There are too many memories;
Too many precious moments and
wonderful times to ever try to forget;

Come with me Rivian, stay by my side. Let us not part anymore." his words were sincere and touched with emotions hidden deep within his heart.

Rivian gazed at the drow with moisture in her green eyes. His poem had touched her heart but it was his passion and devotion that persuaded the female elf. "I will stay with you Solaufein.

You'll never know how much pride
I hold in my heart for the person you are,
the things you do,
for your strength and your gentleness,
your courage and your determination,
your accomplishments and your dream s..." she returned the drow's pledge with an equally enchanting poem of her own.

The dark elf was visibly moved by the female's poetry. He knew Rivian was not a poet by nature and she had communicated with his soul through poetry. He suspected that the female elf had spent considerable time honing her poetry for him and he was very touched. He boldly pulled her into his arms so that she leaned on him. His arm moved around her waist and tightened his grasp. Never again would he let her leave him. He stroked her soft hair with one slender hand and placed his ebony fingers at the back of her neck. He found himself inhaling the scent of Rivian's hair and making a deliberate effort to remember the scent. The female looked up from his embrace, her eyes locked with his intensively. There was unmistakable invite in her eyes. It was the moment that he had been waiting for. Without hesitation, he leaned towards her serene face and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

He teased her lips with his tongue as they parted. The kiss started soft and teasing and as the passion flowed, increased in intensity and the couple lay entwined on the soft grass after a long awaited passionate bonding. Their attire lay carelessly around the camp.

Both elves felt a deep bond had formed between them, one that they had never experience before. Both understood and felt each other's longings. It was the familiarity that struck them. They had formed a rapport between them, it was the ultimate bond elves made with each other, one that will last for the rest of their mortal years. They would be able to read each other's mind and thoughts, even from a distance away. Their minds and souls were linked. It was the most intimate form of sharing a man and a maid could have.

"A rapport. We have a rapport." Rivian gasped.

Solaufein did not need to hear the words, he learnt them through their newly formed link, from Rivian's mind.

"Never will we be apart again, my love. I love you... More than you ever know." he whispered.

Rivian smiled knowingly for she already knew how much the dark elf loved her. She could feel the depth of his love from their link and she knew she would in turn loved him as much. Too much time was lost already.

The drow nodded in agreement to the unspoken thoughts and they made an unspoken promise never to part again. Another passionate kiss sealed the promise and fired the fires of passion in them.

No plan survives the first minute on the battlefield.

I havent heard that mentioned before, it's FR lore i guess.
