How we met......Chapter 1

[Beleglotiel]

I know that this does not follow Tolkiens books very much, but I think you will like it. (BTW, in this story, none of the elves left Middle-Earth)

Thranduil's anger, Legolas's quest
He walked through the halls and through the doors into his fathers chamber.
"Father, you wanted to see me?" spoke Legolas. Thranduil turned around,
"Yes, Legolas," he replied, "We must discuss issues,"
"What issues are those?" Legolas questioned. His father hesitated,
"Your marriage,"
"My marriage?" he repeated.
"It is hard to explain my son. I can feel it. Something is going to happen and it will threaten the lives of we Mirkwood elves. If I should perish...."
"Father, what are you trying to say?"
"If I perish, you will be in charge of this relam. And you will need heirs. You must take a wife."
"You wish me to take any wife?" Legolas asked surprised.
"Yes and you have my permission to choose any madien in this relam." Legolas was beginning to get angry. He was not going to marry a woman that he did not love.
"Father, I do not love any woman in Mirkwood."
"I did not say to marry the woman that you love, I said to choose a bride."
"This is not right, Father! I will not marry a woman if I do not love her!"
"Legolas, I gave you the chance to choose your own bride, but it seems that I will have to do it for you." Thranduil concluded.
"Tell me, Father, when you married mother, did you love her?" Thranduil paused.
"What does love have to do with marriage!?" now he too was becoming enraged, "You will marry who I bid you to and that is final." Legolas expression was of none other than discust.
"No, Father." Thranduil's face became mean and cold.
"What did you say?"
"No!" Legolas repeated. He about-faced and stormed out of the room.
"Legolas," called the king, "Come back here at once!!"
He paid no heed to his father. Legolas went to the stables and retrived a strong horse. The Prince gathered rations and spedily left his home.

"He does not understand," he thought, "he could not understand. I must seek counsel. Lord Elrond surely can help me." Legolas sped through the density of Mirkwood. Shortly, he arrived on the other side and was roaming the wide open fields. Legolas lesses his pace and desides to enjoy the view. He reached the Old Ford and crossed with his quest almost at an end. His long hair blew in the breeze as his beautiful blue eyes scaned the horizon. Then something caught his eye. He knew exactly what it was. "Goblins!" he exclaimed. "But they have not been seen for years." There were far too many for a single person to handle. Legolas sped like lightning. Unfortunatly, the band of goblins ran right onto his path. He was beginning to be showered by enemy arrows. In an act of defence, he readied an arrow to his bow and released the bow string. His arrow was a direct hit and a goblin fell to the ground. They began to surrond his horse. The horse reared up and kicked a couple of the retched things. Legolas was forced to pull out his daggers because of the close combat. Goblins fell on his left and on his right, but they just kept on coming. Suddenly, he is shot in his right shoulder with in arrow which knocks him from his horse. Goblins swarm around him, but he wards them off and scrambles to his feet. He slashes here and slices there. Again, he is pierced in the back by another arrow. A wave a pain spurts through his body. Despite the pain, he continues to fight. Goblin bodies by the hundreds lay scattered around him while still others come to see his defeat through to the end. Exhaustion and shear pain begin to take over Legolas's being. The blackness begins to surround him, but still he kept fighting, until his entire body gave out. He collapsed on the ground. The goblins came in closer to deliver the final blow. Then suddenly, a smaller group of elves on horses come out of nowhere. They slaughter the majority of the goblins and the rest of them retrested to the mountains. The group dismounts and runs to Legolas's side. "Dead?" asks one. An elf with raven black hair and saphire blue eyes kneels down beside Legolas and checks his pulse.
"No," he replies, "just serverely exhausted."
"Do you not recognize this man?" questiones another.
"Yes, it is the Prince of Mirkwood, Thranduil's son, Legolas." answers a second.
"Come," inturrupts the raven haired elf, "we must take him back with us. Handle him with care. I'm sure our Lord Elrond does not want him injured any more than he already is." The group mounts their steeds and heads towards Rivendell as quickly as the wind may take them.

Next chapter coming soon.......

[Pil]

This is nice Bele...i'm really interested to see where this is going... :thumbs:

Post again soon! :)

[Beleglotiel]

Why thank you!

ElvenDaughter1: it seems that we are realted then. ;)

[Beleglotiel]

Here we go people! No Legolas parts in this one and it's kinda borimg, but we've got new characters introduced and....oh well....just read! and sorry if there are places where i messed up, i really worked hard on this one! and do you like my new word? healstress! yeah!

The healstress and the injured

The band of elves entered the gates of Rivendell where the citizens were surprised by their return. Two of the elves took the wounded Legolas to a house of healing while the raven haired elf ran to find Lord Elrond.
Elrond’s study doors burst open. “Yes, what is it, Airewethion?” asked Elrond with his eyes glued to a book. An elf with sun golden hair stood in the door way and answered,
“Commander Gayagaerion and his troops have returned.” Elrond looked up from his book.
“So soon?” he wondered and headed for the door, “Send him in.” Airewethion did as he was commanded and soon the Commander entered. “Gayagaerion, why have you returned? I thought I sent you to pursue that band of goblins.”
“My Lordship, we did as we were instructed. We followed them at least 120 miles until they came across a traveler and attacked. We had no choice but to stop. The traveler was wounded severely and had fainted from exhaustion. I gave orders to bring him back for healing.” explained Gayagaerion.
“Hmm, who was this traveler? Could you identify him?”
“Yes, my Lord. The traveler is Prince Legolas.” Elrond’s eyes grew wide.
“Where is he now?”
“I sent to of my men to take him to the houses of healing.” answered the Commander. Elrond said no more. He rushed to the houses of healing where he found Legolas on a bed with two arrows pierced through his body and numerous cuts and bruises. A healstress was gathering herbs and other remedies to tend to his wounds. When Elrond entered the healstress immediately turned around to face him.
“How is his condition, Beleglotiel?” asked Lord Elrond.
“He is exceedingly fatigued with several wounds. Fortunately, the arrow in his back did not penetrate his body enough to pierce his heart. He shall heal, my Lord.” She replied.
“I cannot say this is wholly good. I only wish I knew why he was traveling. This is troublesome. I will have much to tell him when he recovers.”
“Might I ask, my Lord, what troubles you?” wondered the fair and innocent woman.
“In time, my lady, in time.” he answered and turned to leave. “I might say to you, however, that knowing that you are the only woman in my city without a husband, this might be the right time to think of marriage.” Elrond gave an inquisitive smile. Beleglotiel returned the smile and responded,
“In time, my Lord, in time. I will marry whom I wish and when I do, I shall marry for love. Nevertheless, do not let your conscience be troubled, I will take care of our guest.”
“I’m sure you will, Beleglotiel. Be sure to give me a report every day.” concluded Elrond and he left to take care of other matters.

Next chapter coming soon…..

[Adunauriel]

Very well written Bele. I can't wait for the next chapter....

[Beleglotiel]

Thanks. I had a bit of trouble with that chapter, heh.

[Lady Melody]

We are have trouble when starting a story, even mine is a bit dull for many (Don't try to convince me otherwise, but I', still gonna finish it off anyways). When you gotta write, you gotta write... =)

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Yeah Chibi, I know exactly how you feel. It's true, when you gotta write, you gotta write. That's how my story got started.

Bele, this is really good! I'm glad I finally took the time to track it down. Please continue as soon as you can!

[Beleglotiel]

I'll try! Thank you for your comments! I'm glad you guys are liking it!

[Beleglotiel]

Okay here is the next chapter. Oh, lots of Leggy parts, yum.

Chapter 3
Important information
Slowly and weakly he opened his heavy eyelids. His first instinct was to sit up quickly, but he stopped himself bearing in mind the beauty and elegance of the ever fair individual hovering over him. Her hands were delicate and moved with grace as she grasped different bottles, herbs, and materials. The woman’s eyes looked as green as the grass with rays of yellow light shimmering about them. Her hair was long and of a brown that seemed as if it had been kissed by the sun. The dress she wore hung well below her ankles and was of a light green fabric to match her eyes and was hemmed with gold. After finally coming out of his trance, he managed to speak the words, “Where am I? Who are you?” The woman smiled and came closer to the bed and sat beside him.
"So you are awake I see.” said the woman.
“Yes, but puzzled. Where am I? The last thing I remember is that I was fighting a band of goblins and then everything went dark. I was trying to get to Rivendell to see Lord Elrond when they attacked me.” Legolas explained.
“Well, then let me be the first to tell you that you have completed your objective. You are in Rivendell in the houses of healing. I am Beleglotiel, the healstress. I have been tending to you for the past five days now. Lord Elrond would be here taking care of you himself; however, he has been troubled lately and has much to worry about. I should send for him and let him know of your awakening.”
“I will go myself.” said Legolas commandingly and sat up. A shrill of pain spread through his back and his right shoulder (where the arrows had pierced) and he quickly lay back down. Beleglotiel chuckled slightly.
“You have not fully recovered yet, Prince Legolas. I will go.” stated Beleglotiel and she stood up and walked towards the door.
“I never thought I would be taking orders from a woman.” Legolas muttered to himself.
“You may be a Prince, Master Legolas, but I am a healstress and I know what’s best for you,” and she turned to exit the room, “Moreover,” she added, “I’m not like other women.” and she left to retrieve Lord Elrond.
Momentarily, she returned with Elrond. Legolas slowly sat up in his bed and propped himself up against his pillow. “Legolas, my dear friend,” Elrond began as he sat in a chair beside Legolas’ bed, “how are you feeling?”
“As good as can be after being attacked by goblins.” he humorously replied.
“Well, it is good to hear that you are in light spirits, for it seems that I have some dreadful news.”
“What news is this, Lord Elrond?” asked Legolas. Elrond paused a moment before relaying the news. He obviously was searching his mind for the right words.
“The goblins that attacked you,” he spoke at last, “they were on their way to the Woodland Realm. The goblins are planning a massive attack on your father’s kingdom.” This struck the Prince rather hard. However, he felt that something like this would come to pass.
“Of course,” he said, “Father said he could feel that something was going to happen, something that would threaten the lives of the Elves in Mirkwood. That must be what it was. Though, what I do not understand is why they would want to destroy the Woodland Realm.”
“That is what also mystified me. Therefore, I sent spies to the Misty Mountains to see what it was they could discover. It seems that they are seeking revenge.” explained the Lord.
“Revenge for what?” wondered the Prince.
“It was long ago. You may remember. It was not long before the Battle of the Five Armies when Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and a collection of Dwarves were in the caves of the goblins and were captured. They slew many goblins in their escape, including the very Chief-Goblin himself. After this they traveled through Mirkwood and happened to be captured by the Wood Elves. The goblins thought them to be keeping the escapees in good hospitality which meant to them, that the Elves were harboring their prisoners, and this enraged them. Shortly after this, the Battle took place leaving the goblins in small numbers. Slowly and quietly over the years they have multiplied and now are in vast numbers. And this is why we deem they plan to launch an angry assault on your people. We do not know when they will strike, but if your people are unprepared, the outcome shall be devastating.” Legolas suddenly wished he had never left home and had a sudden yearning to go back. Beleglotiel was listening to the entire discussion and she felt very distressed to hear what might take place. She wanted more than anything to help. But, of course, being a woman made that impossible, seeing as that there would be a mêlée involved.
“I must go back!” cried Legolas almost jumping out of his bed.
“Prince Legolas, that is unfeasible. Your wounds are not fully healed. You need more rest and medicine, then and only then will I release you from my care.” Beleglotiel firmly avowed. Elrond and Legolas were visibly taken aback as this woman clearly demonstrated her authority in this matter, yet, a smile seemed to appear on Legolas’ face and this smile was returned by the lovely lady.
“Do not fret, Legolas, I will send messengers to King Thranduil informing him of these latest developments.” Elrond declared and he stood up.
“I thank you Lord Elrond for your kindness.” Legolas gratified. Elrond smiled and exited the room.

Next chapter coming soon…..

[Beleglotiel]

Okay people here it is, chapter 4. It took me the longest time to do and it is kinda long but it's worth it! sorry if there are mistakes.

Chapter 4

A battle of heart

Six days past since Lord Elrond sent two messengers to King Thranduil warning him of the attack that the goblins were planning. During this time, Legolas’ strength returned with the help of Beleglotiel aid. The two began to form a significant bond and got on very well. One would rarely be seen without the other. When people tried to make any accusations towards their companionship, Beleglotiel would say that she was merely doing her job and making sure that the Prince was recovering adequately. They would take long walks together and talk of the comings and goings of times past and present. Legolas even revealed his reason for coming to Rivendell. Beleglotiel listened with understanding.
On the twilight of the sixth day, a commotion rang in the still calmness of Rivendell.
One of the messengers had returned. Legolas ran from his quarters to the front gate where the man lay on the ground bleeding to death. Beleglotiel came running up behind Legolas with eyes wide in horror. Another Elf was crouched down beside him trying to hear what the dying Elf was trying to say. The unfortunate man had encountered another huge band of goblins and was brutally wounded. The man, whose name was Nuingrodion, told in his last dying breath how he and his partner were ambushed by the goblins and how his friend was slaughtered before his very eyes. But last, he told that the goblins had followed him back to Rivendell and were commencing an attack on the city. Shortly after this, he died.
There was no time for mourning, however. The shrill cries of the goblins could now be heard.
“Soldiers of Rivendell, take up your swords and bows. Tonight we defend our city!” cried Elrond. Women and children were hurried to a single stronghold which was guarded by five archers. Men ran about gathering their weapons and armor and making their good-byes to their loved ones.
Legolas ran back to his room as swiftly as possible. Beleglotiel followed behind him. She ran to her room, which was next to his, and came out with a long sheathed sword, a bow, and a quiver abundant with arrows. Legolas, with his daggers and bow and arrows, joined her in the hallway. “Beleglotiel, what are you doing?” he asked, “Why are you not taking shelter in the fortress with the other women?”
“I told you Legolas, I’m not like other women.” she coolly stated.
“Regardless if you are like them or not, I will not let you put yourself in danger.” Legolas caringly declared.
“I will protect my city and its people and nothing you can say or do will stop me!” Beleglotiel shouted. Legolas stared into her grassy-green eyes. Beleglotiel could feel his eyes searching through her heart. All she could do was look away. Legolas put his hand under her chin and lifted her head to face him.
“I see it in your eyes, Beleglotiel.” said Legolas.
“See what? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she lied.
“You’re frightened. You fear for the lives of the people you care for. You think the only action you can take that will help is joining the fight.” he revealed. Beleglotiel’s eyes began to become glassy with tears. She couldn’t help but know that he was right.
“I would do anything, anything, to prevent any harm to befall you or my city.” cried Beleglotiel bursting into tears.
“I know that and I say this to you, I know you want to assist in the battle, but no good will come from that. Go to the stronghold and protect the women and children there who are as scared as you are. You can do more good there than on the battle field.” Beleglotiel nodded her head in confirmation. “Now I must go.” Legolas spoke and he turned around to leave.
“Legolas!” Beleglotiel cried back after him. He stopped and turned around. She threw her arms around his neck. Her lips met his; the embrace was divine. She withdrew from him. Legolas was about to speak, but she put a finger over his lips to quiet him. “Shh,” she said, “Go now, protect this city, my brave warrior, and return to me a hero.” Legolas smiled and left to his duty. Beleglotiel ran to the stronghold where all the other women were. The five guards outside the door protected it intently. The women and children inside were in a panic. They were all so frightened for the lives of fathers, husbands, brothers, and for their own. Beleglotiel tried to get everyone calmed and quiet just in case someone came to warn them of any nearing danger.

Ten rows of archers stood in front of the locked gate; countless others were trying their hardest to keep the gate shut while swordsmen prepared for the fight ahead of them. Legolas stood in the third row of archers awaiting the orders from Elrond. The goblins pushed and shoved the gate; their howls and screeches could be heard. A rain of arrows fell upon the Elves. Fortunately, none were hit. Goblins persistently jostled the gate. “Lord Elrond!” cried on Elf that was holding the gate, “we…..they…..we can’t hold the gate closed any longer!” Elrond nodded.
“Archers!” called Elrond, “Ready your bows!” The soldiers did as was told. Elrond looked towards the Elves holding the gate and said, “Ready…….NOW!” and the gate was pushed open. Goblins by the dozens came pouring through the gate. “Tangodo haid! (hold your positions)” shouted Elrond, “Hado i phillin! (shoot the arrows)” A wave of arrows was brought down upon the goblins. Many goblins fell dead in their tracks, but hundreds more still invaded the fair city. Legolas used all of his arrows (all of which struck their target (Aragorn eat your heart out)) and now resorted to using his daggers. He sliced and diced every goblin that opposed him.
About a dozen goblins managed to break through the lines of Elves and headed toward the stronghold. Some of them began to shoot flaming arrows at buildings. By now, three buildings caught on fire. Ten goblins approach the stronghold and terminated the guards outside. They broke into the building. Women and children screamed and shouted in horror. The goblins shot flaming arrows into the ceiling. The beams holding up the ceiling caught on fire. Pieces of the ceiling and beams fell down to the floor.
“Be calm! We have to get out of here!” Beleglotiel shouted to the people. They were in the back of the room and the only way out was at the front, but blocking the way was fire, beams, and goblins. Beleglotiel readied an arrow to her bow and she began to fire at the goblins and she drove them out. “That’s one obstacle down.” said she. Now the only problem was how to get them out of the building. “Follow me!” she cried. Beleglotiel unsheathed her sword and began to cut the fallen beams to make a path. They were almost out of the inferno; she could she the moon light streaming in from the door.

“NAUR! (FIRE!)” cried Commander Gayagaerion, “The stronghold is on fire!” The warriors on the battle field looked in terror as the stronghold was engulfed by the blaze. The goblins fearing so much fire fled the city.
“Quickly! Get water! Hurry!” instructed Lord Elrond. Legolas did not follow the orders this time, but instead ran toward the burning fortress with nothing on his mind but Beleglotiel. Without thinking twice, he burst into the flaming building. Not but two feet away from him was Beleglotiel with the rest of the group following behind her. With no words said, he helped lead the rest of them out of the building. Elves were extinguishing the flames as best they could with the buckets of water. Finally all of the women and children were out of the burning building, or so they thought. A woman screamed in panic.
“What is it, Adunauriel?” Beleglotiel asked concerned.
“My daughter, Dawnnamira, she’s missing!” cried Adunauriel. Beleglotiel’s eyes glared at the burning building. She quickly grabbed a bucket of water and dumped it over her head. Beleglotiel ran toward the building. Legolas ran after her and grabbed her by her arm.
“Beleglotiel what are you doing!?” he asked franticly. Beleglotiel glared at him.
“Anything, Legolas, anything!” she reminded him. Legolas threw his arms around her and his lips met hers. He withdrew and with pain in both of their hearts, he watched her as she disappeared into the smoke and flame.

Next chapter coming soon…..

[Beleglotiel]

Okay, heh, and you get to find out if you die or not, lol

[Beleglotiel]

Here is the next chapter. It's not quite as long as the last chapter, but well....here you go!
Chapter 5
Out of the ashes
The room was filled with smoke, ash, and fire. She couldn’t see her own hand in front of her face. “Dawnnamira!” cried Beleglotiel, “Where are you!” Amidst her own coughing, she managed to her the weak word,
“Help.” Beleglotiel’s eyes peered towards where the sound came from. “Help!” shouted the voice louder, “I tripped and a beam fell on me! Help, please! The fire is getting closer!”
“Keep speaking! I can’t see you, but if you keep talking I can follow your voice!” Beleglotiel hollered back.
“Okay….. I-I’m really scared!” answered the girl.
“I am too.” replied Beleglotiel. She walked toward the voice and finally she saw the young girl’s face. Dawnnamira couldn’t have been any more than 600 years old. She had soot all over her face and there was a large beam laying on her across the left calf of her leg. “Can you push it off?” Beleglotiel asked.
“It’s too heavy for me.” Beleglotiel glanced at the fire that was burning half way down the beam from them and spreading.
“Help me push it off.” instructed Beleglotiel. Both girls pushed the beam as hard as they could, but could not make it budge. The two of them were both coughing and gasping for breath. Beleglotiel looked behind her quickly and noticed that their only way out was beginning to be consumed by the fire. “Quickly, our exit is almost blocked! Push it as hard as you can!” Dawnnamira and Beleglotiel shoved their very hardest and miraculously, it slid off of Dawnnamira’s leg. “Can you walk?” asked Beleglotiel.
“I have no feeling in my leg.” replied Dawnnamira rubbing her leg.
“Come then, I will carry you.” Beleglotiel scooped up the girl in her arms and, through the blinding smoke, started for the door. She started choking on the smoke. The smoke in her lungs was making it hard for her to breath. But she was determined and was not going to give up.
She stepped out of the inferno and into the open. The dawn was upon the ravaged city. Beleglotiel set the adolescent on the ground and collapsed beside her. Her breaths came long and heavy and her eyes had not yet adjusted to the light; she could not see the worried faces hovering around her limp body. The darkness began to surround her. The last thing she heard was a familiar voice calling her name and she faded into sleep.

Next chapter coming soon……

[Beleglotiel]

Here we are! Chapter 6!
Chapter 6

The healstress is the injured

“Water! Quickly! Her gown is on fire!” shouted an Elf. Water was quickly poured on the flaming dress. Elrond squatted next to her; she didn’t look very good. Legolas rushed as fast as he could to her side, but Beleglotiel lie still.
“Lord Elrond, is she alive?!” cried Legolas franticly. Elrond speedily checked her over.
“A faint pulse, but she breaths naught.” Legolas was shocked and could think of only one action. He bent over her and with his own breath, breathed into her mouth. After repeating this several times, Beleglotiel began to breathe with a few spluttering coughs, but still, she did not open her eyes. “Excellent work, Legolas!” commended Elrond. Just then a charming female Elf sprinted over to them. Her hair was a strawberry-blond, her eyes of a midnight blue that seemed to have the very stars of the sky sparkling in them, and her gown was as purple as the violets.
“My Lord,” she spoke, “is there anything that I might do?”
“Yes, Imbethoiniel. Take her to the healing houses. I shall be along shortly,” Elrond instructed, “Legolas, you assist her.” Legolas nodded and picked Beleglotiel up in his arms to the room where, he himself had spent many days in recovery. He laid her on the bed that he had laid in. Legolas was confused at first. He wondered who this woman was. He was sure he had heard her name before in his many hours talking with Beleglotiel, but he simply couldn’t place her. Then finally he asked,
“Who are you?” She wouldn’t stop to look at him but, began gathering bottles and herbs as Beleglotiel had the first time he saw her.
“My name is Imbethoiniel; I am a dear and close friend to Beleglotiel.” she replied.
“Will she recover?” he inquired.
“I do not know. It is hard to discern. We will wait to hear what Lord Elrond has to say.”
Imbethoiniel began to clean off Beleglotiel’s soot-covered face. Then, Lord Elrond came into the room with a plant in hand.
“Take this,” he said giving the plant to Imbethoiniel, “this is the Athelas plant, the plant used many a time by Lord Aragorn. It should prove very useful. Burn its leaves and its fragrant aroma will eliminate the smoke from her lungs. Use it also on her abrasions; I believe furthermore that it will heal her burns if burns she has. I have much to do now. This attack has ruthlessly cut a swathe through Rivendell. Our buildings continue to burn and the lamentation has begun. It will be long before this damage is undone.” And on that note, he exited.
Imbethoiniel took a flame to a portion of the plant and set it on the stand next to Beleglotiel’s bed. Its frangance was sweet and refreshing. Legolas inhaled the air deeply and felt suddenly at ease. Still, he could not help but let his heart be troubled over this turn of events. Not only this, he was also baffled by what had happened. He understood completely that there was a battle and how it happened. Yet, he truly did not comprehend what exactly it was that happened between him and Beleglotiel. She had kissed him and he kissed her in return. ‘Is it possible….’ he though, ‘could I be….’ Legolas stared long and inquisitively at the stunning creature lying in front of him. He watched her chest rise and fall with the inhale and exhale of her breath. Legolas was sure he felt something, but was not sure of what it meant; it felt as if he was…..complete. He had a sudden longing to run his fingers through her hair, to be near her and never leave her side.
“Prince Legolas,” said Imbethoiniel finally taking the time to stop and look at him, “is there anything you wish to talk about with me?” The Prince was hesitant to answer. “Master Legolas, I have 3 brothers and I have seen them each look at a woman like that before and every time in resulted in matrimony; do not think that I know naught of what thoughts linger in your mind.”
“I have never felt this way before, Imbethoiniel, I could not place it,” he paused, “Before the battle started, I had an encounter with Beleglotiel and I am not positive of what took place. She kissed me and spoke to me as if I were her love and later on, I returned the feeling with no concept of what was going on around us. All I could think of was, Beleglotiel. Since then, all I want to do is be here with her during her recovery. When I’m with her I feel, whole…..complete.” he explained.
“My dear Prince Legolas, you are in love. I thought it so; from that caring look you gave her moments ago, I could tell…..you love her dearly. As I watched your friendship begin to blossom in past days, I knew the bond that grew between you was special, though I believe that both of you knew nothing of it. If you are in love with her, you should marry her. I should be an Orc if your feelings for her are not mutual,” she said faintly smiling, “these are perilous times, Legolas, one cannot be sure of what the next moment brings, but one does not lose faith as long as there is someone there beside them.” As she said this she fiddled with the wedding ring on her finger and a broad smile and gleaming eyes beamed from her face.
Legolas pondered over her words time and time again as he watched her go about her healing business. He was not sure of what he should do, but one thing he was sure of…..he loved Beleglotiel.

Next chapter coming soon…….

Chapter 7

Awakenings

It was early morning and the birds twittered their happy tune once again. Four days had passed since the attack of the goblins and Rivendell was well on its way to returning to normal. Legolas lay sleeping with his head on the edge of the bed. Not once had he left the room for either to eat or drink; no matter how many times Imbethoiniel or Lord Elrond insisted on his doing so, he refused to leave Beleglotiel’s side.
There was a slight vibration on the bed. He felt a weak and ailing hand touch his cheek. Legolas awoke from his slumber and lightly grasped the soft hand that stroked his face. At first he thought that his eyes deceived him. Once again, he saw those grassy-green eyes with the sun shining through and he was overjoyed. “Beleglotiel!” he shouted in excitement, “How are you? Are you feeling well?”
“Legolas, Legolas, not so hastily, I have only just awakened.” whispered her still feeble voice.
“Oh, Beleglotiel, you haven’t the faintest inkling to how thrilled I am to see you well again.”
“I am happy to see you once again, my dear Legolas, however, I am not fully recovered and shall take my own words of wisdom and remain in bed for quite awhile longer.”
“Imbethoiniel has been nurturing you back to health with Lord Elrond’s watchful eye obviously.” Beleglotiel smiled faintly to hear that those two were still alive. Then it finally crossed her mind; the battle, the fire, the girl!
“Legolas!” she yelled, “what happened to Dawnnamira? Is she alright? What happened?”
“Calm yourself,” Legolas comforted, “she is fine. Her leg was injured harshly, but she has been among the people for a day now and is almost to her full health,” explained Legolas. Beleglotiel breathed a sigh of relief, but it was short lived as he shortly added the bad news, “However, two buildings were destroyed, there were 18 fatalities, and countless others were injured.” Beleglotiel’s eyes shut tight. A tear or two trickled down her cheek. Legolas wiped them away.
“Curse them,” she mumbled.
“We still have time to counter them. Though, I fear, Rivendell has become involved with the battle and I wish it were not so,”
“Legolas, we are your kin and we would not let your people be destroyed, regardless if we were attacked or not, we would have intervened.” The Prince smiled at the lady.
“I shall send for Imbethoiniel and Lord Elrond, I’m sure they would want to know of your coming around,” said Legolas and he sent for a messenger to retrieve the two. Lord Elrond and Imbethoiniel arrived shortly. Elrond and Imbethoiniel expressed their joy to see Beleglotiel awake, but also they arrived with news.
“I have summoned and sent Elladan and Elrohir with a unit of soldiers, each on a separate mission,” began Elrond, “Elladan I sent to Mirkwood to warn King Thranduil and Elrohir I sent to Minas Tirith.”
“Minas Tirith?” Beleglotiel asked surprised.
“Aye, I know for certain that even with the muster of all the Woodland Realm and Rivendell, we will not even equal to half of the goblin army. They have even more than the quantity of Orcs and Uruk-hai that were faced at Helm’s Deep. I am sending for Arwen and Aragorn to aid us in the fight.” Elrond informed.
“But it is a long journey to Minas Tirith and back. Do you think they shall return before the goblins attack?” questioned Legolas.
“We do not know when they will be making their assault, whether it be tomorrow or two months from now. Nevertheless, I do have faith that they shall arrive in time,” encouraged Elrond, “I am sending more spies to the goblin’s region, perhaps then we will find more answers.” The room was silent for some time as they all tried to digest the newly dispatched information. Finally, Imbethoiniel broke the silence.
“I think it would be wise for us to leave now. I must attend to other patients and Beleglotiel needs her rest. And,” she stated, “if I am not mistaken, Prince Legolas needs to speak to Beleglotiel in private.” She shot a glance at Legolas and went to another room of the healing houses. Lord Elrond stood up.
“It is indeed good tidings to know that you are recovering swiftly. You are a heroine, Beleglotiel, and I thank you for your acts of courage. No words can be spoken that express the gratitude I and Adunauriel are indebted to you.” he spoke.
“There are no thanks needed, my Lord. I acted only as any other one in this city would have in my position.” Beleglotiel replied humbly. Elrond took her hand in his and kissed it gently and exited the room.
Legolas stared into Beleglotiel’s eyes. “Now,” she began, “what was it Imbethoiniel spoke of that you wished to tell me?” The Prince wasn’t sure if he wanted to bring this upon her in her present state.
“Perhaps another time, beloved, rest now.” he said and stood from his chair. He tenderly kissed her on her forehead. “I shant be far.” concluded Legolas and he stepped outside the room.
Leaning against the wall of the building, Legolas contemplated over how this could be done and when. ‘I know for certain,’ he thought, ‘that I want to spend eternity with her. But I fear that weighing her conscience down with this will slow her recovery, she has much to be concerned about already.’ Legolas reached down his shirt and pulled out a necklace hidden under his clothes. On the silver chain hung a beautiful band encircled with diamonds of the purest form. ‘No,’ he decided, ‘I shall wait for the right moment.’ and he slipped the necklace back under his shirt where it would be safe and reentered the room.

Next chapter coming soon……………

Chapter 8

Swallow your bitterness

Fourteen weeks past. Rivendell was ready for anything at anytime. By this point, Elrohir and his troops had reached Minas Tirith and Elladan and his soldiers were days away from returning home.
Beleglotiel had been among her people for quite some time now. Her strength had returned to her ten fold. She and all the other injured elves continued on with their lives as they once were. But one thing, unlike most, she could not rid herself of, was the burning anger she had for the goblins which now was even more than it had been before. Frequently she would seek solitude in her accommodations and practice her sword play. She had indefinitely made up her mind.

**Flashback** (the story behind the ring)
Galadriel had pulled him aside from the rest of the Fellowship to share with him a few words in private. “Legolas, son of Thranduil, I have another gift for you that I deem will prove useful in your years to come. I do not know what the out come of this war will be; however, I do see good things in your future if we are to claim victory for Middle-Earth. I give this to you…” she opened her hand to him to reveal a beautiful ring encircled with diamonds, “May this ring rest upon the finger of a woman who’s heart is as pure as the diamonds and may she be true and loving to you for all of your days.” said Galadriel and she placed the ring in the palm of Legolas’ hand and gently, she closed his fingers around it.
**end**
“Legolas?” he heard Lord Elrond’s voice ask. Legolas, staring out the window, came out of his daydream. He fiddled with the ring on the chain.
“Excuse me. I-I am sorry Lord Elrond. Lately my mind has been great with…......uncertainty,” apologized Legolas.
“Ah,” replied Elrond, “Your father and your people.”
“It is more than that, Lord Elrond.” Elrond looked at him inquisitively.
“I see.” he spoke, “I sensed a relationship between you two. It was very easy to tell, based on your actions during the attack. If I were not there to stop you, you might have very well gone into that flaming building after her and it would have been you in the bed next to her for these long weeks. Are you not glad that you didn’t?” Legolas thought for a moment.
“Lau (no). I know that it was the right choice to let her go on her own, but inside I knew that if I would have gone in with her, I could have gotten both of them out of there easily and she would not have had to spend the time in the healing houses that she did. Though, I am grateful that you intervened, my Lord.”
“There are some things about her that you should know, Legolas,” began Elrond, “She has no mother or father. Long ago, her parents were ambassadors of Imladris. I knew them well as did all else. During the time of the Battle of the Five Armies, they went on a journey to see your father and to ask if he required the assistance of Rivendell,” he paused as if to be remembering times of old, “However,” he continued, “they never made it to Mirkwood. They were attacked by goblins and slain. Beleglotiel never wished to believe their fate, but over time I deem she finally faced the gruesome truth. Though, she did acquire malice towards the goblins. She sought revenge, but knew naught how to obtain it. Therefore, she dedicated herself to healing and sword play. Healing, so that none would ever die as her parents did; sword play, so she could protect her city and its people from any danger, whether it be goblins or some other evil force. Beleglotiel would never allow anyone to bare the pain and grief she had to. Though she allowed others to love her, she would not allow herself to love another, for fear that if she permitted herself to do so, she would lose them just as she did her parents. Her heart is pure but fragile, Legolas. Beleglotiel is stubborn, however; she is brave and her will is strong. She is taking a very large step letting you into her heart. As a true friend to you and to her, I beg of you, do not hurt her any more that she already is…”
“I would not think of it, my Lord.” Legolas promised. “I have spoken of this with Imbethoiniel. At first, I was not aware of what this feeling was; now that I know what it is, I know that more than anything, I want to spend all of my days with her. Even though, I don’t know how to handle it.” Legolas’ eyes peered out the window and scanned the horizon until he saw Beleglotiel below in the courtyard speaking with other Elven folk.
“Go to her, Legolas.” said Lord Elrond. Legolas gazed at her and finally made up his mind.
“I shall!” he said and headed for the door. Suddenly the door burst open. Airewethion, the messenger of Elrond, stepped into the room.
“What is it, Airewethion?” asked Elrond.
“Elladan and his troops have return, my Lord!” cried Airewethion. Lord Elrond and Legolas were filled with hope and rushed down to the gates to meet the Prince and his host.

Lord Elrond was first to greet the travelers home.
“Welcome home, my son.” welcomed Elrond, “what news have you?” Elladan dismounted his horse and dismissed his troops to go to their families.
“I have relayed your message to King Thranduil, Father. He is making preparations for the battle.” replied Elladan.
“Elladan, it is good to see you safely returned.” hailed Legolas, “Did my father send word to me?”
“Yes, Prince Legolas, he gave me a specific message for you…” began Elladan. He handed Legolas a note. The letter read……….

‘Legolas, it pains me to hear the words of Elladan. But that does not make me any less furious with you than I am. How dare you abandon your brothers, your people, and your own father in their time of need? Return home immediately or I shall send an army to retrieve you.’

Legolas stared at the words of his father resentfully. Beleglotiel strode up behind him and laid her hand on his shoulder. She stared into his face.
“Legolas?”
He gazed into the clear blue sky falling once again into a pool of confusion but this time was bound by bitterness.

Chapter 9

Be with me……always

The two strode hand in hand through the lush surroundings of the arboretum. In between their idle chitchat, they would admire the scenery of lovely Imladris.
“Your home is very beautiful, Beleglotiel,” Legolas commented.
“I’m sure that your home is just as equally beautiful,” replied Beleglotiel.
“But you will have to judge that for yourself,”
“In time I would wish to do that, Legolas,”
“And someday you will,” he stated. Beleglotiel looked at him suddenly.
“Come, follow me,” she said and darted through a wall of hanging vines. Legolas scurried after her.
“Where are you taking us?” he asked while running. He passed through another wall of hanging vines and stopped quickly (otherwise he would have run right in to Beleglotiel). She stood as if she were petrified like the stone statues that stood in front of her. One had the likeness of a man, the other a woman. The silence was eerie. “Beleglotiel?” he whispered. There was a long pause.
“This is their grave. Though the bodies were never found, their spirits shall live on.” she whispered. A tear trickled down her cheek.
“Nai aen garo îdh (May they be at peace)” uttered Legolas.
“I amarth ú-garn anírant aen, ú-vin aníra han (They didn't desire that fate, no one desires it) I wish they were dead. I wish them all dead.”
“Aníra acharn erin yrch na dhagel hain avatha mabatha i naeth (Desiring vengeance on the goblins by slaying them will not take [away] the grief)”
“What would you know about it!” Beleglotiel snapped. Legolas was taken aback. “Legolas……….I-”
“No, you are right, I don’t know anything about it,” he said and slightly turned away.
“Legolas, I did not mean to speak so harshly. I am very sorry,” apologized Beleglotiel. Legolas came to her and took her hands in his.
“I do not know what it is like to lose someone you love, but I promise, you shall not lose another. I will always be here for you.” Beleglotiel stared into his eyes and then she let them drift to the statues that stood before her. She spotted a vine with bright red flowers at the base of the statues and her eyes brighten.
“Look, Legolas,” she rushed to the stone figures and knelt by the flowers. Legolas hurried after her and knelt down beside her. “I Estel Loth (The Hope Flower),” she carefully fingered the petals of one of the flowers, “This is what I wanted to show you, though I did not imagine I would find it here,”
“There is always hope, Beleglotiel. There is hope for you, hope for me, and hope…..for us. Have faith in hope,” said Legolas. Beleglotiel noticed a bud on the vine that had not bloomed yet. She carefully put her hand under it. When her fingers touched it, the bud blossomed into the most beautiful flower of all the others that were on the vine. A smile came across her face. “Beleglotiel?” asked Legolas, “Would you give me the honor and pleasure of being yours forever? Will you be my wife?” he spoke slowly and took out the ring and showed it to her. The diamonds’ glare reflected in her green eyes. “Be with me……always,”

Chapter 10

A semi-joyous day

Imbethoiniel put the final touches on Beleglotiel’s dress as the bride stood before the long mirror.

“Imbethoiniel, this dress is just so lovely! I cannot thank you and the other women enough for making me this dress on such short notice!” gratified Beleglotiel.

“Oh nonsense, we were happy to do it!” she stood back from the beautiful maiden,
“Come come now, let’s have a good look at you! Spin around!” instructed Imbethoiniel.

“Imbethoiniel, this is no time for such balderdash,” replied Beleglotiel laughing.

“Spin!” commanded the strawberry-haired elf. Beleglotiel did as she was told and spun around gracefully. “Ooh, Beleglotiel,” she gawked.

“What? Is something wrong?”

“No, it’s just; you look so……marvelous!” Imbethoiniel remarked.

“Thank you so much!” said Beleglotiel after a time.

“This is such great news! I was wondering when that poor boy was going to ask the certain question of you. Your getting married has really brightened the spirits of the people of Imladris,” began Imbethoiniel, “You can not imagine how much you’ve touch us all.” Beleglotiel smiled.

“Ah, but it is Legolas who has truly made an impact on the populace.”

“Aye, he is such a fine and gentle man. Elrond is wise to trust him so. Though, one thing I believe you have not yet taken into consideration is, his father. King Thranduil, from what I have heard, is a great ruler, but he does not understand his sons. Did he inform you of what the letter said that he received from his father?” she asked.

“No,” replied Beleglotiel, “Still I wonder why….” Just then Legolas walked into the room.

“Might I come in and see Beleglotiel before we start?” he asked shyly. Imbethoiniel turned Beleglotiel’s back to him and rushed over to Legolas.

“Master Legolas!” she gasped, “You mustn’t be in here! It is bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony!” She turned him about to face the door and began to push him out of the room. All three of them began to laugh. “Now you wait like all the others. It’s better to keep it a surprise. Trust me, she is pretty enough to be of the Valar,” spoke Imbethoiniel and she winked at Legolas.

After his encounter with the ladies, Legolas went off to see that the final preparations were being taken care of. He was not yet in his apparel for the wedding (his would not take nearly as long as the bride’s to make ready). Nervousness filled his essence, nervousness and joy. Finally Beleglotiel would be made his and they would have the rest of their lives to spend together in bliss, that is, if all went well. He paced back and forth in his dressing room. Lord Elrond entered dressed in his attire for the occasion.

“Legolas, my friend, why do you seem so nervous? Calm yourself, there is nothing to fret over. This is your wedding day, enjoy yourself,” Lord Elrond light-heartedly enunciated. Legolas chuckled placidly.

“It’s foolishness, I know. What have I to worry about!?” he asked himself, “The only thing that I am anxious of, is to know how she will look. I know she will be beautiful beyond comprehension, but how shall I react?”

“I tell you this,” began Elrond, “she will be radiant, that is certain, but do not agonize over it. When the time comes, you shall react with effortless ease,” he said laying a hand on Legolas’ shoulder, “now come, it is time for you to change into your wedding wear.” Elrond summoned a tailor and Legolas was clad in his magnificent garments.

The time had finally come. He waited in the arboretum by Lord Elrond who would conduct the service. Legolas and Lord Elrond stood at the head of the company while the entire population of Rivendell stood in arched rows (except for a break in the middle of each row which made a pathway for the bride to saunter down) that seemed to be surrounding Legolas and Elrond. Behind the last row of guests was a curtain of vines that served as doors for the lovely lady to enter through. The spot that was chosen for the wedding was quite unique. Trees encircled the entire area and the tops of the trees leaned in as if to be watching closely. The tree tops were close together but far enough apart for little rays of sunlight to streak through. The trees also had flowers on them, and as the wind blew softly, petals fell like painted rain. A sweet fragrance from the flowers filled the air and Legolas inhaled it deeply to calm his nerves.

All was silent and all were waiting for the bride to make her promenade down the aisle that was showered with flowers for her gentle feet to walk upon. Abruptly, a rustle came from the vines that were pulled open like drapes and the slender figure appeared from behind the wall.

There was a radiant glow to her. Her hair was lightly blowing with the wind as was her gown which was a cream colored beige. An array of flowers, that matched the color of her dress, rested atop her hair. The sleeves of her gown were largely belled in the Elven fashion and her dress, on all its edges, was hemmed with a beautiful lacey fabric. The neck of the dress was cut just above the breast and the bodice was embroidered with stunning Elven designs. She wore no jewelry and carried only the exquisite bouquet of flowers in her hands.

From the moment the vines were pulled back Legolas and Beleglotiel’s eyes met and never did they stray. ‘Imbethoiniel’s description of how she looks hardly does her justice,’ he thought. Beleglotiel’s walk toward Legolas lasted, to him, ceaselessly. It was only until Lord Elrond asked him if he would take Beleglotiel to be his wife that he came out of his trance of her beauty. He said ‘yes’ with no hindrance at all. Then it was Beleglotiel’s turn and she also vowed ‘yes’. After the vows were said, the rings were placed on the fingers, and Lord Elrond pronounced them man and wife, Legolas and Beleglotiel shared the most passionate kiss two lovers could ever hope to make in a life time. Secondly, Beleglotiel perform the ritual of the Elves. She went to where all of the other women in their time performed this ritual. Beleglotiel took the flowers and planted them next to the others to signify a new beginning in her life. Following this event a reception with a great feast was held in the Palace and laughter and joy flowed through all of Rivendell. Lord Elrond made a toast at the opening of the feast to Legolas and Beleglotiel that they me be happy for all eternity.

Legolas held the hand that wore the ring he received from Galadriel. He recalled the wise words of the Lady and knew that he was true to them, ‘May this ring rest upon the finger of a woman who’s heart is as pure as the diamonds and may she be true and loving to you for all of your days’. Legolas leaned close to Beleglotiel’s ear and whispered, “I love you, forever and always,” and he gently kissed her on her cheek and caressed her hair.

“And I love you, forever and always,” she replied and kissed him on the cheek and stroked his hand.

Unexpectedly, Airewethion came running into the room and darted for Lord Elrond who was seated at the head of the table and was accompanied by the newly weds. The clamor hardly lessened by a decibel, therefore, Airewethion leaned in close to tell into Lord Elrond’s ear the news he had to inform. After the messenger’s tale was told, Lord Elrond’s eyes became wide with shocked. He rose from his chair swiftly and motioned for Legolas to come with him and Beleglotiel followed them. Airewethion lead them to the gates of Rivendell where at least 50 riders on white horses waited. Then, a rider approached Legolas and his company. He recognized the man without question. The man’s face was cold and stern. The face belonged to his father.

Chapter 11

Needs a title

“Mae Govannen, Thranduil,” Elrond spoke first, “We were not expecting you. Is it not unwise to leave your people ungoverned in these perilous times?”

“I assure you, my other two sons Laihision and Pheradë are taking charge in my absence,” replied Thranduil casting a spiteful stare on Legolas, “but now I must speak with my eldest son,” and he dismounted.

“Please, follow me into the Palace were you will be more comfortable. I’m sure it has been a long and restless journey,” deemed Lord Elrond, “Airewethion, see to it that these men are fed and that the horses are also fed and watered,” and he lead Thranduil and Legolas in to the Palace. Beleglotiel followed. He took them to his study which would enable them to speak in private. Lord Elrond shut the doors and Beleglotiel leaned close to hear what King Thranduil had to say to his son.

There was a pause between the father and son. Neither of them wished to speak to the other. But some things just had to be said.

“Why have you not returned?” Thranduil asked in a stern voice. Legolas did not answer. His face was as firm and cold as his father’s, “Answer me!” commanded the King.

“Why should I have returned!?” questioned Legolas, “We were coming to aid you! Lord Elrond and I were merely waiting for the arrival of Aragorn and his troops,”

“You are going back to Mirkwood as soon as we are finished here,” enunciated Thranduil.

“But I cannot!” Legolas contradicted.

“And why is that?” asked his father. Legolas didn’t feel like this moment was the best time to tell his father of the events that happened that day, the vows he made, the promise he swore. He tried his best to avoid it.

“Why must I leave so abruptly? Is there trouble in Mirkwood?” he wondered.

“There is enough trouble. Your mother has worried herself sick, your brothers have begun to lose faith in you, and your people think you have abandoned them,” spoke King Thranduil. Legolas did not understand why his father would tell him these things; he knew they were not true, though, he still didn’t understand why his father had told him to choose just any wife that long time ago in Mirkwood that started this entire mess.

“You should not tell me such lies,” said Legolas.

“Lies!?” Thranduil yelled outraged, “I speak nothing but the truth!”

“Then why will you not tell me why I must leave so unexpectedly?”

Outside the door, Beleglotiel and Lord Elrond listened intently to the conversation. Beleglotiel did not comprehend why a father would speak in this way to his son.

Thranduil took a long, deep breath. “The moment we return home, there will be a wedding,”

“Who’s?” question the Prince.

“Yours,” Thranduil pronounced, “Her name is Vethônien. Her family is very well known and she is a lovely woman who will serve you faithfully,”

Beleglotiel’s heart stopped beating for a split-second. She had been married for only a couple of hours and now her true love is to be forced to marry another! Tears began to fill her eyes. Elrond took her hand, but remained silent. Nothing he could say could ease her pain.

Legolas’ felt as if his heart had been ripped from his chest and was beating in the bloody palm of his father’s hand.

“No!” Legolas defied, “I will not marry her!”

“Legolas, try to understand! I am your father and I know what is best for you!” Thranduil tried to reason.

“No father, you know what is best for you!” Legolas rebelled. Thranduil’s anger took over his sense of judgment. With an open hand, he struck his son across his cheek.

Lord Elrond and Beleglotiel heard the noise the contact of Thranduil’s hand had made. Beleglotiel gasped and reached for the door knob. Lord Elrond stopped her and listened attentively.

Legolas stood staring maliciously into his father’s eyes. “You will do as I say and I will hear no more of it!” commanded King Thranduil. Legolas hesitated slightly; he thought that now would be the best time.

“One thing you have yet to realize father,” he began and held up his left hand, “I love another,” Thranduil gazed at the ring positioned on his finger.

“From whom did you receive this ring?” Thranduil asked.

“Her name is Beleglotiel; she is the daughter of Dûrostion, he was once an ambassador of Imladris. Beleglotiel is the woman who you saw with Lord Elrond and me,” explained Legolas. Thranduil growled at this news.

“Legolas, there are much finer women in this world. Why choose this one who you don’t even know?”

“Father, I know ample things about her and one is that I love her and that should be enough,”

“I do not approve, I must think about this,” spoke Thranduil. He raised his hand and waved for Legolas to leave, “You are dismissed,” Legolas knew this could not be good. He did as he was instructed and left the study.

Legolas opened the door and to his surprise, Lord Elrond and Beleglotiel were standing right outside the door. Legolas’ expression was blank until he looked at Beleglotiel. Her face was streamed with tears. She did not know how she should handle this. Bursting into tears, she turned and ran down the long hall and headed for her room. “Beleglotiel,” Legolas whispered forlornly. He ran after her.

King Thranduil stepped out into the hall. Lord Elrond did not look at him kindly.
“That did not go as well as it could have,” Lord Elrond spoke.

“Someday, they all will learn, that what we do now is the best for them,” said Thranduil.

“What is so wrong with Legolas being with Beleglotiel? What do you have against their marriage?” questioned Elrond.

“One doesn’t know any answers in times like these. My mind is clouded with many thoughts. Could I not perhaps find some rest?” King Thranduil voiced. Lord Elrond nodded and made accommodations for the King and gave him time to think.

Beleglotiel slammed the door behind her, threw herself onto her bed and sobbed. She had finally found happiness and again it was taken away from her. She felt was to lose Legolas just like she lost her parents. There was a quiet knock on her door. “Leave me be!” she commanded. Despite her orders, the door creaked open anyway. Legolas entered the room and came to her. “Go away,” she cried. He sat on the bed next to her and positioned her to lie against his chest.

“I am very sorry. You were not meant to hear that,” he murmured. Legolas stroked her hair.

“But you promised me! You promised, Legolas! You promised me that I would never lose another loved one and that you’d be here with me always!” she remembered. He held her up to face him.

“And I will not break that promise,” he said staring into her glassy eyes. She sighed sadly and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Legolas embraced her with all his being and kissed her on her neck, then on her cheek, then her lips. The two newly weds ‘expressed their affections’ for each other.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The hour was late in the evening and Airewethion stood outside the door to deliver a message. Legolas rose from the bed and came to the door.

“Prince Legolas, I have information from your father,” came the messenger’s voice.

“Yes, Airewethion, continue,” answered Legolas.

“King Thranduil wishes to leave for Mirkwood at dawn tomorrow. The preparations have already been made,” Legolas sighed heavily at the news.

“Thank you Airewethion,” he spoke and the messenger’s foot falls could be heard as he walked down the hall. He unhappily walked back to the bed where Beleglotiel sat.

“Do not fret, my love,” Beleglotiel said trying to seem happy, “we have one night together, let us enjoy it,” She stood up from the bed and sauntered over to Legolas and turned her back to him. Legolas, taking the hint, began to unbutton her dress. After the both of them had undressed, they laid together naked under the covers of the bed in marital bliss.

[Beleglotiel]

Well, you all will just have to wait and see.

And as far as the 'sex' part goes......at least I didn't come right out and say 'they had sex' or describe it to you. I've read a lot of good books and that's usually the way authors say that they did it instead of, you know, flat out telling the reader..........

[Herenyë]

Thank Goodness you didnt just straight out and say it lol..........heehee but the story is great!!!!! haha i think if i was you i would of done that heehee lol jk........

[Little Devil]

I dunno, I'm just gonna let my brain take a break, and after I have a little r&r, my next chapter should be pretty good! i hope ;) i've already got an idea for it, but I'll just go with the flow. Heck, a lot of the stuff in that last chapter I wasn't even planning on putting in there! It was just a spurr the moment flash of genius type thing I guess lol ;)

But first! Tell me your fave parts of ALL that I've written so far..........i'm curious to know ;)

Fav part is when the tiff Legolas had with his father in the beginning and the end and when they get married....but actually i dont know cuz i like it all! keep up the good work my friend! lol

[Beleglotiel]

K...................anybody else?

[Adunauriel]

I enjoyed the whole fight. I felt bad for Legolas, but kept wondering why didn't he just stand up to his father.. I felt like he was giving in to easily. I got the impression that by the end of the Books, that Legolas would be more assertive in his feelings. I just thought he would have givin it too his dad somewhere in there. I really thought he would have done it when Thranduil started in about Bele not being good enough....;) :)

[Beleglotiel]

Hmmm..............good point! But, honor thy father and mother ;) is a key thing no matter what world you live in ;) so that's kinda what I was going for there. But don't worry..........Thranduil's gonna get what's coming to him........Legolas is gonna give'im one for all of us ;) :thumbs:

Next!!! :)

[Ranger]

Very good writing indeed Bele...keep up the great work! :thumbs: :hooray:

Why thank you! I am enjoying your feedback also! :thumbs:

heh, chapter 12 and I stayed up till 12 midnight writing it, what a coincidence...........;) lol

Chapter 12

The plan and the passage

Dawn came too fast for them. The chill of the morning awoke them and they quickly dressed and hurried before the day left them. Breakfast was had in silence and shortly after the meal, Thranduil wished to be on his way. But first, battle plans needed to be arranged. A council met to decide what was to be done.

“Aragorn and his troops should be arriving any day now. As soon as they arrive, I will lead them, along with my soldiers, to Mirkwood,” told Lord Elrond.

“What have you heard of the goblins’ time of attack?” questioned Thranduil.

“Very little,” replied Elrond, “they are undecided. My spies have uncovered much, but not enough. Their leadership is not superior to ours. They are divided and no naught who to look to. Different bands of goblins will attack when they deem it is necessary. They may attack in small groups one after another or unleash all of their power at once. Neither will leave our armies unscathed,”

“It would be prudent to have many healers and healstresses on hand at all times so that when they attack, you will be able to recover quickly,” put in Commander Gayagaerion. This caught Legolas’ attention.

“He proves a good point, Thranduil. How many healers have you?” asked Elrond.

“Not nearly enough. How many have you?”

“Six, two women, four men,” answered the Lord.

“Their aid would be greatly appreciated,” Thranduil added.

“Airewethion!” spoke the Commander, “notify the healers and return,” Airewethion was listening to the conversation and went to do as he was told. Though Legolas was glad that he would not have to leave Beleglotiel behind, he feared for her safety. She was very good with a sword, this he knew, though not learning first hand. He was sure that, with this new opportunity, she would want to fight and seek her revenge. But was he willing to let her risk her life for it?

Beleglotiel sat moping in a chair, looking outside the window closest to her. The houses of healing had no patients, thus, the healers studied the arts of healing and the uses of herbs. Imbethoiniel approached her and laid a hand on her shoulder. She smiled caringly at her friend. Nothing could describe the sympathy she had for her. Just then, Airewethion came walking into the houses of healing.

“Healers and healstresses,” he began, “the Lord wishes you to accompany King Thranduil to Mirkwood. He believes your assistance will prove useful,” Beleglotiel was overjoyed to hear this news. Airewethion told them to be on stand by for the company would be leaving shortly.

Airewethion returned shortly. “They are prepared, my Lordship,” he informed.

“Good,” confirmed Elrond, “One thing you must be wary of in your journey,” he continued, “You could be attacked, so I would advise that you have no less than two sentinels posted during your time of repose,” Thranduil nodded in verification. He glanced at the sun coming over the horizon.

“The day is upon us. It is time for us to take our leave,” concluded King Thranduil.

Beleglotiel had had a long talk with Legolas before she was allowed to go on the expedition. She shared Legolas’ concerns and told him that she was equally concerned about him. Eventually, the two came to an understanding.

The party mounted their horses. Beleglotiel sat atop her stallion, Veborion. She, along with Legolas, Imbethoiniel, and King Thranduil were at the head of the body.

“I can not thank you enough for your generous hospitality, Lord Elrond,” thanked Legolas.

“It was my honor, Prince Legolas,”

“I will await your coming, Elrond. Until then!” finalized Thranduil.

“May the Valar protect you!” closed Elrond. With this, King Thranduil led the company out of Rivendell.

Their passage to the mountains was an easy one, but as they drew near to the Misty Mountains, the road became drastically more treacherous. Imbethoiniel and Beleglotiel, the only women on the expedition, were frightened inside, but were not about to show it on the outside. There was no noise save the clopping of horse hooves. Then, here and there, an eerie sound could be heard. Imbethoiniel, jumpy as she was, turned to look to where every sound was coming from. Legolas came neared to her.
“Do not be afraid,” he whispered. Though he seemed confident, his eyes scanned the entire vicinity as he spoke into her ear. The mountains loomed on both sides of them. Beleglotiel’s horse trotted to Legolas’ side.

“Legolas,” she spoke softly, “something is out there…watching.”

“I know,” he agreed. Quickly, he rode to Thranduil. “Father, we must be cautious, there is something watching,” Thranduil nodded.

“Yes, Legolas, however, we are faced with a problem. If we stop to investigate, whatever it is, can either retreat or attack us, but if we continue on, it could attack us sooner or later, or it could be leading us into a trap,”

“Those are not pleasing options,”

“But we don’t know what it is, for good or evil,” stated the King, “let us wait,” Legolas nodded and fell back to his wife.

The sun was right above them but was hidden by grey clouds. They were almost to the other side of the mountain, when Beleglotiel’s horse reared. Veborion whinnied and refused to go further. “Veborion, what’s wrong?!” shouted Beleglotiel. Legolas grabbed the reins to try and calm the rebellious horse.

“Legolas get that horse under control!” called King Thranduil. Suddenly, an arrow whizzed past Legolas’ ear! Shocked, Legolas looked to the rocky ledges on the sides of the mountains and saw a shower of arrows coming towards them!

“Look out!!!” he shouted, “We’re under attack!!”

Next chapter coming soon…….

[Little Devil]

Wow, Getting exciting! Attack, :battle: ;) very good.
