This was supposed to be one drabble for ford_of_bruinen but it turned into two!

Silver and Gold

The Golden Wood they call it, yet truly, it is not so. The trees themselves are silver - but it is the leaves that are gold and are their crowning glory.

Just like us.

I may do much of the work, overseeing the running of the realm and its defenses, which I know does not go unnoticed, but what you do is something else altogether.

You are the light by which we see, the golden crown that I would be nothing without. I am the moon to your sun; my own light comes from that which you give.

Only you can heal the wounded with but a thought, or calm the fearful with a simple smile. Only you could have charmed a people not your own and become accepted as their Lady.

I do not know what I did to deserve your love, but am eternally grateful for it. I hope you always know that you alone hold my heart and soul and that I love you with all that I am.

The End
