*Duke Elrond sits at a table with a scroll in front of him, and visitors enter*

Gandalf quickly strode into the chamber where Duke Elrond happily planned his wedding to LĂșthien. Following Gandalf was his daughter Galadriel and her two suitors Legolas and Aragorn. "But father, I love Legolas!" Begged Galadriel. "Silence, you will do as I say an marry who I tell you too!" Replied Gandalf. "My good Duke Elrond," he continued "I have sought and audience with you to discuss the matter of my daughter and who she is to marry." "What have you to say good fellow?" "My daughter wants to marry this Legolas, this ruffian, and I have chosen the noble Aragorn to be her husband. Pray tell me, what is her fate?" "Well then," replied Elrond, "You have but three choices fair Galadriel, you may marry this man Aragorn, live a life of chastity in a convent, or be put to death. You have until my wedding night to decide you fate, now if you will excuse me, I must see my bride to be in preporation for our wedding day. Good day to you all."

*Elrond exits*

"Well, there you have it, come Aragorn, let us go to the tavern for a drink, what do you say?" Asked Gandaldf. "I would like that," responded Aragorn.

*Gandalf and Aragorn exit* "Dearest Legolas, what are we ever to do?"
Asked Galadriel. "Fear not sweet Galadriel, for we shall flee the town of Rivendell and elope to the Woods of Mirk, there I have relations that will house our weary, love sick bodies. When we reach Mirkwood, the laws of Rivendell cannot touch us, and we will be together at last. Now, we must make haste, the day runs short and we haven't much time before the sun sets. Quickly, pack your belongings and meet me at the edge of the forest."

*he exits*

And with that Legolas was off. On her way back to her house, Galadriel came across her best friend Arwen picking wild flowers in the fields. Galadriel beckoned her over and told her of her plan to elope with Legolas and after swearing Arwen to secrecy, Galadriel was on her way home again.

Meanwhile, Arwen was on a mission of her own, she ran to the house of Aragorn to tell him of Galadriel's plan to marry Legolas."Now we can get married, isn't that wonderfull?" Asked Arwen. Aragorn wasn't as pleased, in fact he was furious. "I was promised Galadriel! I must marry her, or the Duke my have my head as well as yours, out of my way women!" Aragorn said as he pushed past Arwen.
