The Power of Love

by Sarah Maxime

Eleniel, an elf-maiden, joins Frodo on his way to Bree and becomes the Tenth Walker. But, what is her connection to Legolas and Aragorn? Why does she have sadness in her eyes? And why do the forces of evil seem to target her? Tenth-walker, Legomance, non-Mary Sue, mostly Movieverse with some Book add-ins. No flames, please, they only flame my temper.

1. Part One and Introductory Author's Note

Part One of the Journey

The Equivalent of The Fellowship of the Ring

Author's Note: If, at any time, Legolas Thranduilion, Prince of Mirkwood, seems OOC, it's because in the books and movies, he A) is not in love with anyone (or not that we know of) and B) is not traveling with his love. So please, don't send me a message saying, "Legolas doesn't act like that! Fix it!" In all honesty, I'll probably just reply, "Well, he's in love! And his love is in danger constantly 'cause she's traveling with him!" Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that.

Second, in response to Lord Elrond's review: this is called fan fiction for a reason. I mean, there aren't vampires or solar-blessed people in Tolkien, either (I don't know of either, anyway. Also, no offense to the authors and fans of those stories), but I've seen both on here. So, if you don't like Tenth Walker stories, don't read this, and please don't send me pointless reviews.

Third, my story includes quite a lot of Elvish, due to the fact that Legolas and my main character are both elves. There are translations for everything in the story, but at the end of the story, I'll include a glossary, as well as a few grammar rules. If you don't like a whole lot of Elvish, you might not want to read this. Also, there isn't the elvish from the movie. All of that has been retranslated into the Elvish I'm using, as I don't know what kind of Elvish they use in the movies.

Fourth, to my old readers, I found our copy of Lord of the Rings and the movies and stuff, so it's been edited. A lot. Not to mention the fact that I had a great idea for background, so some things have been added to hint at that. I may actually turn the background into its own story when I'm done with The Power of Love, but I'm not sure. Finally, I've just read The Silmarillion, so the Elvish has been edited to be more accurate according to Tolkien's works.

Thank you for your patience! Now on to the story!
