Mirkwood had been divided into two sections for thousands of years. In an effort to finally unite together all the elves that resided in the forest, the two Kings came together in peace. King Thranduil and King Vardasirion met and came up with a plan to unite the elves of Mirkwood. They made a treaty in which their children would be promised to each other to unite the division and for the good of all elves. And so Legolas, son of Thranduil and Lintegurthwen, daughter of Vardasirion were promised to one another.
The years passed and Vardasirion, never planed to go through with the treaty. He used the treaty only because he wanted his daughter to grow up with peace around her. Even with peace, her whole childhood was consumed with training in the ways of elfish fighting techniques, all the while, Vardasirion told Lintegurthwen of the evils of King Thranduil.
King Thranduil was not one to be naïve. He knew that something was not right with the treaty. His son, Legolas, was by nature a gifted warrior. So if the need came to pass King Thranduil knew Legolas would be prepared.
Hundreds of years passed by, Vardasirion moved forward with this plan to take over all of Mirkwood. Battles were fought throughout Mirkwood; the battles seemed to never end.

"Father you must let me fight! Why did you train me my whole life if I can not go out and defend your Kingdom from the evil King Thranduil."
"My Lin, you are my most prized possession in this known world. I can not let you go and fight in this war."
"I will not sit and let the war for this Kingdom be fought without me. You have told me many times before that I will be the one to rule in your place, let me go and defend my future!"
"I will speak of this no more, Lintegurthwen! You will not go!"
Ling stormed off from her father, with a fiery passion in her emerald eyes and went into her room and quickly changed out of her flowing dress into her training outfit and pulled her long blond hair up in the back of her head.
"amin armar avaene lle leneema atar" {I go without your permission father}

"Legolas, my son, you are the pride of my Mirkwood, and the future for this Kingdom. I know that you have been not happy staying here, while the battle is being fought with Vardasirion, so it is my decision to grant you, your wish. I give you my blessing to go and fight"
"Thank you father. I have waited to hear these words from you, and know that I will not let you or the Kingdom down."
"I know my son, now go and be watchful of the Orcs, Vardasirion is not the only evil thing that lurks in Mirkwood."
Legolas left his fathers side and he had already packed. He took off on his horse to go into the very core of the battle.

Lin silently and quickly moved through the woods, as only an Elf could. She stopped to rest for the night, choosing a safe haven under a large tree. She soon drifted off into sleep.
Legolas going tired from his travels, slowed his horse and dismounted, as he walked he sensed something nearby and crept to catch a view of what he was sensing. His breath caught as his head tilted looked on to what he found,
"Re I' sai thond en' poika vanim" {She is the very root of true beauty}
