Hi! This is my second story for fanfiction! Yay! Each time a have a break in the story, I'm going to write a random question. I don't know why. I guess it makes life less boring for me. Lol.

This is just the prologue. All the other chapters will be longer.

-What would happen if someone pierced Legolas' ears?-

Prologue

"Naneth!" Raina exclaimed. Her naneth hastily picked her up and started running towards the house. "Naneth! What are you doing?"

"Come, Raina. We are leaving. Everyone is suffocating us here," Raina's mother said as she ran around the house, packing up for the journey back to Middle Earth.

"But…..why? What about Adar?" Raina's innocent blue eyes stared into her mother's worried grey eyes.

"Raina…we are leaving your Adar here." Raina suddenly heard the muffled sounds of voices coming from outside the house. "Come!" her naneth yelled as she grabbed all her belongings. She and Raina ran out the door. Raina turned her head and saw her adar running after them.

"Faelwen! Please! Raina!" he screamed. Raina felt confused. "Raina!"

"Naneth," she whispered.

"Hush, little one," her mother, Faelwen, said gently as they ran. "You will understand why I did this when you are older."

"Raina! Faelwen, please understand!"

"No!" Faelwen screamed. Her voice echoed through the trees. "You understand, Istuian! Think about everything you have done, not only to me, but to Raina!"

Faelwen and Raina ran as fast as they could out of the forest, leaving Istuian behind.

That evening, Raina and her mother sailed across the sea.

-Does Elrohir have Elrond's bouncy eyebrows?...-

"Adar! Adar!" Glennodad turned and laughed as he saw Raina pushing through the crowd on the docks. "Adar! I want to go with you! Please!"

"I don't know, Raina. What about your naneth?"

"She said it was fine, just as long as I came back soon," said Raina. "Please! I want to go somewhere new. I want to see Middle Earth!"

"Raina, you must know that there is much darkness in Middle Earth—

"I know, Adar. Do not worry. I know what I am putting myself into."

"I will let you go if you promise me one thing," said Glennodad, his smile vanishing.

"Yes?"

"I would like you to sail back here either before or when I do. Can you keep that promise?"

"Yes. I promise."

"Raina! Glennodad!" Raina and Glennodad turned to face Faelwen. "I've got something for you," she said to Raina softly with a sad smile on her face. Faelwen placed an object wrapped in a handkerchief into Raina's hand.

"Keep her safe," Faelwen told Glennodad.

"I will. I promise," he said. He placed a small kiss upon her brow.

"Farewell."
