Chapter One

"How much farther?" came an irritated, but beautiful voice. Elsul sat astride her stallion glancing around at the dark forest that surrounded her and the rest of the political leaders from Lorien and Qualith. Her long copper hair streamed down her back, its luster unseen in the darkness.

"Maybe a day or two. Elsul have patience we will be there soon enough," answered Galadriel.

"Easy enough for you to say." Despite how much Elsul loved to ride, the terrain was ever the same and becoming quite boring. Her mount, Sul, snorted and pranced sideways. He was a silver stallion, one of the last of the Celebel Rochs. Sul was becoming more and more difficult to manage, but that was because of the slow pace. He had been breed to run, to race the wind, not plod along like some plow horse.. "So Lord Elrond and the twins are there, right?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?" asked Galadriel with a raised brow.

"Oh, nothing," she gave Sul a slight command and trotted toward the front of the column.

"Dear you know there is no way to keep her out of trouble," said Celeborn.

It was Sul who noticed the thing first. A large something had scuttled across the path just a little ways in front of the advancing column. "Spiders," hissed Haldir, "ready your weapons! There are spiders ahead of us."

A smile found its way onto Elsul's face. She took her bow in hand and quickly knocked an arrow. A second later the silvery arrow found its mark and the large spider dropped from its perch and found its final resting place on the forest floor. She loosed three more, all of them finding their prey. In all, ten spiders lay upon the ground, either dead or dieing.

Elsul had found all of her arrows, only one was broken. "That was fun, fast, but fun," she said.

"I see why you and the twins get along so well," laughed Haldir. She just scowled at him and drifted towards the back of the party.

At the end of the second day an escort of five Mirkwood elves meet them and escorted them to the palace. After handing off their mounts, they made their way inside. Elsul was greeted two boys, each a mirror image of the other. "Hey there's father hide," whispered Elladan as Elrond walked by.

"Its been so long," whispered Elsul, "I'm glad you're here, it would be far too boring otherwise."

"Your right," answered Elrohir in a proud voice. "I'm sure you can find out who King Thranduil and Queen Colseregon are. They have five children. The youngest is Celeborn . She unlike her brothers and sisters has silver hair, so she'll be the easiest to recognize. The second youngest is Aurdu, he has silvery gold hair like the day and night combined. The third youngest is Legolas and he is about are age with gold hair, and an extremely stuck up attitude. The second oldest is Elugwilwileth and she isn't here right now. I haven't found out why she isn't here…yet. The crown prince is Malthendulin and he is away with Elugwilwileth in Gondor. I'm not sure why they would want to be in Gondor…"

"Wow, you sure overheard a lot. Who did you spy on?" asked Elsul sarcastically.

So I decided to revise this story. I know the chapter is still super short, but oh well. The next one will be up soon and hopefully it will be longer…

Tell me what you think. I'll give you a cookie!
