The wedding

I do not own Legolas or any of the lord of the rings characters Even though I wish I did. Kiriss is a name I got from my B/F thanks for all the inspiration. If there are any mistakes that really stand out just e-mail me and I'll try to fix them. Also if you have any suggestions or thoughts how the story might progress I'd be glad to hear them.

Intro : Arrival

Kiriss was trotting at a steady speed beside her father "Daughter we will soon be within the walls of lord Thranduil and you will meet with your betroved ". Her father spoke in a tone she had never liked; the thought of marrying a man she had never met had not appealed to her when her father had told her. Right now her only concern was getting out of the cold and into some warmth. She was suddenly taken away from her own thoughts as her colt stopped suddenly.

Glancing up she saw what she thought was no dwelling for a lord the high gates of the house. Suddenly the gates swung open and a tall light brown haired elf approached "If you would follow me please I will take you to the stables" the elf walked slightly ahead as both Kiriss and her father dismounted and lead the horses to the stables. Kiriss noticed a young filly white in colour but as she approached she noticed it was greyer. "Sir I ask whose is this young Filly" She inquired as she stabled her horse. "That would be my brother Legolas' horse" He stated. Once the horses were settled they walked inside.

Chap 1: The meeting

Once Kiriss had been shown to her room she prepared for dinner. She wore a long flowing dress that matched the colour of her green eyes. Admiring the beautifull dress she realised how grand the room she was staying in was, the curtains were of the softest silk and so where the bed sheets to match. Waiting impatiently for the servant to escort her to dinner she glanced out the window at the vast grounds that surrounded the house `I will go exploring later' Kiriss decided as there was a loud knock on the door. "Come in" she shouted.

"Dinner is ready" the servant said solemly Kiriss walked out of the room with confidence (even if she was a little nervous).

Walking down many long halls and corridors they suddenly entered a great hall filled with coloured streamers and music. Suddenly she looked up to see a flock of dovrs fly above her head. "Lord Thranduil has gone to great expense to provide this party to celebrate the wedding" Her father said behind her.

Spinning round she looked her father he had that strange look in his eye that he was not going to let her enjoy this night "Father really I wish you wouldn't do that" Kiriss exclaimed.

"Ahh Darwain I've been looking for you I wanted to introduce my son Legolas" the lord Thranduil said Excitedly. A Tall young elf stepped from behind the lord sheepishly Kiriss looked into Legolas' face seeing a gentle soul not a tyrant like she had seen so many times before. "And this Thranduil is my daughter Kiriss" Darwain said proudly. His father nodded and legolas lifted her hand and kissed it gently she felt his warm lips press upon her hand and as he released the kiss and looked into her eyes again she saw something more but she didn't know as yet. "Well friend let's leave the young ones to dance" Thranduil said ushering her father away.
