Chapter 1
Banwen: Beautiful Maiden (just so you know)
This day was like no other in Lorien. Their youngest princess, Banwen was having her 1,500-birthday party that night. Banwen had strawberry-blond, soft, curly hair that went just past her shoulder blades and the bluest eyes you have ever seen. Her figure was slim (not so slim that you can see her bones, but toned slim) and her skin was fair. As she rode her horse her head was held high. Her parents, Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel, had been planning her birthday since the day she left for Rivendell. She was visiting her niece, Arwen, and nephews, Elrohir and Elladan, as well as her brother-in-law, Lord Elrond, there. Everyone from Lorien to Mirkwood, to Rivendell knew about the party, except for Banwen. She was on her way back to Lorien on her birthday and wouldn't arrive until later that night (Elrond made sure of it). The company Banwen was riding back with consisted of her niece, nephews, brother-in-law, and a few other elves that were either going to the party or their protection on the way to Lorien.
The sun was setting when Banwen and the rest of the company reached the party. Nothing looked different and no one was there.
"I wonder where naneth is," said Banwen not knowing anything would happen.
"I'm sure she is waiting for you up the stairs," said Elrond.
"Or, I'm waiting for you right here," said Galadriel as she stepped out from behind a huge tree. She was dressed in silver cloth and was shining like she always had. She had a huge smile from ear to ear as she saw her daughter.
Banwen leaped off of her horse and raced over to her mother and hugged her. She hugged her for a few seconds and stepped back.
"You have been missed," said Galadriel.
"I missed you too," said Banwen. Her mother took her hand and started leading her up the two hundred and fifty stairs (yes, she counted them many times) that lead up to Banwen's room. Her room was like any other room in Lorien, just a lot bigger. It had her bed in the middle with see through drapes hanging down from the ceiling, and a huge wardrobe in front of the bed. On one side of the bed was a desk, where she often did her studying. Her bedspread was a light blue color and so were the drapes that hung down from the ceiling. On the other side of her room was a balcony. The balcony didn't have any doors so you could just walk right out on it. The entrance to the balcony was an arch shape.
Banwen walked in to find a new dress on her bed. It was the most beautiful dress that Banwen had ever seen. It was a very light yellow, but enough yellow that you could see it was yellow. The sleeves of the dress flared out at the elbow and the neckline was a v shape, and from the waste down flared out a little and slightly dragged on the floor. When she put on the dress she found that the dress conformed to her slim figure. She slipped on the yellow shoes that matched her dress perfectly. Her hair was down, but she pulled tow pieces from the front and clipped it in the back, simple, yet elegant.
She walked out of her room to hear music. She looked down; to try and pinpoint where the music was coming from and when she did it astounded her. She saw elves from everywhere; Mirkwood, Rivendell, and Lorien dancing, sitting, talking, drinking wine, or watching them do all of this. Table after table with food of all sorts was lined up. There was one section of the table for the wine. There were many varieties of wine. She looked at her mother and gave her a big smile. She looked to her right and saw her friend Haldir by her side.
"Did you know about this?" asked Banwen.
Haldir could not lie to her. She always knew when he was. Like mother, like daughter he'd always say. He gave a suspicious grin to her and said,
"Yes, I admit I did."
Haldir offered his arm and Banwen graciously took it.
Haldir was dressed in a silver tunic and black pants with his black boots. His hair never changed, it was always straight and blond with two little braids on each side of his head. His eyes were a cold gray, but when you really looked into his eyes, you could see his soul.
As Haldir lead Banwen down the stairs, she noticed that the royal family from Mirkwood had come. She had heard many things about them, but never met them. She heard that Legolas was the most attractive of all the elves. She also heard that he was the most sensitive in the family. She saw all of the Mirkwood royal family at one end of the table discussing something with Elrond and the twins.
As she and Haldir reached the bottom of the stairs she saw that her father coming over to them to greet her. She let go of Haldir and ran over to her father to give him a big hug. He took a step back and said,
"I missed you too much! You are never going to be gone that long again!"
"Ada!" she said smiling.
Haldir left to go over and sit with his brothers, Orphian and Rumil. Banwen's father led her over to her mother. She was sitting on a platform that seemed to form in the ground. Galadriel grabbed Banwen's hands and kissed her on her cheek.
"What do you think?" asked Galadriel.
"It is spectacular!" said Banwen.
"I'm glad you like it," said Celeborn.
Banwen turned to look at everything. She saw many elves dancing and feasting everywhere. She then decided to go down and join the celebration. Elves greeted her and were said 'happy birthday' as she went by. She finally got to a table where she could sit down and maybe rest a bit before she did anything like dancing, but Haldir came up to her right before she sat down and asked,
"Would you like to dance?"
Her eyes gave a look that said 'go away', but she responded with,
"Yes I would love to."
A/N What do ya'll think? I had no clue where to stop. I could have gone on for like, twenty pages, but then there wouldn't be that much to say in the next chapters. Do you think it is detailed enough? My friend wanted me to make sure that this story was greatly detailed. I have to tell you, I'm having so much fun writing this and it is only the first chapter. Don't worry Legolas will come in the next chapter. He is a BIG part of the story, so don't worry!
