CLAIMER/DISCLAIMER: Everything belongs to the brains behind BG wif the
exception of Legolas who belongs to LoTR, and Dobby who belongs to Harry
Potter. Casy is my own leading character, Elven Swashbuckler. So there!

~ Part One ~
A tall handsome elf named Legolas stood patiently under a tree, shading himself from the sun. Locks of long blonde hair stuck out from under his hood and hung over his deep green eyes.
He turned and squinted beyond the tree, to a shimmering field of green grass where two figures were quickly approaching. He slung his bow behind his back so as not to look menacing when he approached.
'Hail there!' called one of the figures, a lady with long brown hair that was spotted with beads. Her ears poked up very clearly through it and Legolas glanced at them.
'You are an elf?' he questioned.
The lady gave him a curious look. 'Half,' she said. The man beside her pushed back his hood and stared hard at Legolas. His own pointy elf ears protruded from specially made holes in his leather armour.
'Was that an insult or a threat?' he spat.
'Hush now, Casy,' said the lady elf in gentle rebuke. 'We have not yet cause to be suspicious.' She turned and smiled at Legolas. 'Your name, good elf … sir?'
'Legolas.' he smiled and held out his delicate slim hand.
'Jaheira, and well met to you,' replied the lady, shaking his hand. 'And this is Casy.'
'Your… er… husband?'
Quite to his surprise, Jaheira's face hardened. 'My husband no longer lives. He was … he was killed and experimented upon by a monster of cold blood who had us kept prisoner. Casy and I lived, and we escaped to much difficulty. But he is a good friend to me, perhaps a little more…' Here she softened, and gave her companion quite a loving look. Casy went quite pink in the face and cleared his throat.
'Well nevertheless, I—' But he stopped because at that moment, he saw something quite odd coming towards the little company across the field. Squinting, he managed to make out that it was a greenish sort of creature, dressed in a strange collection of clothes, short and nimble with tennis ball eyes and a nose like a squashed tomato.
'Dobby wishes to greet you,' said the shrimpy creature. 'I sees you talking some way off, and Dobby is glad to be among his own kin sometime, you know.'
Jaheira and Casy and Legolas stared at little Dobby in stunned surprise.
'You… I'm not related to you, am I?' said Legolas. 'Am I supposed to know you?'
'Not at all sir, but Dobby has heard of you. The great elf Legolas, though Dobby grants that you be better off back where you belong. No, no. Dobby merely means to show you…' He shook his head and took off the cap he was wearing, displaying two long pointy green ears.
Jaheira gave a surprised shriek and jumped backwards. 'Oh! Oh! I know not quite what you are but you will keep well away from me!'
'Oh Jaheira,' sighed Casy, 'And I thought you were supposed to be a druid, and that druids were meant to be affiliated with all things nature…'
'Indeed, but *that*…'
'I is only a house-elf, miss. A elf like you.'
There was another blank silence. Legolas turned green. Casy, on the other hand, pushed back his hood further and rolled up his sleeves.
'An elf, are you? Well, you certainly don't look like an elf to me! You look like an insult to Elvenkind!'
'Casy!' hissed Jaheira, now beginning to sob. 'I thought you were supposed to be Good!'
'I know, my dear, but the experiences in Hell were extremely trying.'
'Hush! This creature should have the right to exist! I will deal with him. Stand down your weapons.'
The druid looked calculatingly at Dobby, who was now shaking.
'I means you no harm, sir, miss, I is just a simple house-elf, I…'
'Are you *sure*?' said Casy 'I've never seen a green elf before, let alone one that dresses in a tie and tea cosy, and barely comes up to my waist!'
'Er, people?' Legolas broke in, finding his tongue again. 'Excuse my rudeness, but I do believe we have further company approaching.'
