This flows just beautifully. I love the first-person speaker, though I was never convinced it was Tolkien's Legolas. He seemed more a young man or elf of modern times (some turns of phrase were distinctly modern, for instance "No, wait. Scratch that." and the offhand mention of his "best friend" ... Gimli? ... is odd for this character, who takes his friendships very seriously). But the notions of urgent time and fate come across very strongly, and your writing style is scrumptious. I would like a deeper characterization of the girl here, but I understand that she personifies ephemera, which is also a nice storytelling device.

In a sequel, you might play with the second definition of ephemera: a matter of passing interest. This could be how others view the romance. Smile smiley face

How deeply do elves love? This illustrated a great hunger for all emotions and an understanding of differnt fates. Very sad to know that he will wither shortly after her.
