Author's note:
This story mainly involves the Elves… Actually… That's all it involves :) Allaina is my own character, who is the youngest daughter of Elrond. Now, people, I wrote this about a year ago off the top of my head. Yes, it is a Legolas/OC fic. Don't leave yet! It has lots of action in it and a little bit of funny. Not too much romance! In my fic, Frodo didn't get the ring. Somehow long in the past, Elrond got the ring, and the actual fellowship was never there. I use a lot of the same plot-line as the book. A lot of the things that happen in Lord of the Rings was somehow twisted into a Legolas and Allaina storyline.
Well, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Angel's Beginnings*
Allaina, daughter of King Elrond of Rivendell, held a secret from the land. Not only was she hidden away by her father, but she was also not allowed to speak to anyone except her father and sister. Her voice was the voice of a goddess. Anyone who heard it would instantly listen to her plea. Elrond and Arwen were the only two who knew about her voice and the spell that was set on her by the One Ring. Elrond had decided to keep this ring in his chamber. He locked it in a glass case in a hidden cabinet in his room to ensure Allaina's safety. He did not want any enemy to possess the ring. They would own the power of Middle Earth and the power of the Elves. Elrond knew as long as the ring was not destroyed, a war would befall Middle Earth. He also knew if it were destroyed the spell on the princess would fade. Allaina would be out of the Ring's grasp. The problem was no Elf would willingly go to Mordor for one princess. The war of the Ring was brooding and Elrond wanted to stop it. With all her will, Allaina also wanted to end the war. Her kind heart was a weakness to enemies, as with her beauty. Allaina's beauty surpassed all in Rivendell, as did her sister. Allaina had long straight brown hair down to her midriff and large keen eyes. She had wished for the war of the Ring to end and Arwen would journey to Mordor for her wish to be granted.
Elrond summoned a Council for his daughter, Arwen, and two sons. Allaina was allowed to listen from a distance, hidden to all at the council. The others on the porch of Elrond were Aragorn (Arwen's lover, as Allaina knew), and five other Elves from various places. Two from Lothlorien- Celestis and Elador. One Elf from Mirkwood, Legolas, son of Thuranduil the King. The other two were from Rivendell, one woman and one male- Arthena and Zelgatis. Each of the Elves had traveled far and from distant lands just for this council except for the two from Rivendell. Allaina noticed how wise most of the elves looked, and how young the Mirkwood elf seemed to be. He was fair and of royalty in Northern Mirkwood, which was noticeable by the cloak of special Elven fabric and the light blue sleeves. She also noticed Arwen sitting next to Aragorn. Elrond stood in the middle of the company and spoke.
"You have been called here, because you have the ability to go on a journey to a place many Elves have not been and wish not to go to. It will be a hard and emotional battle for many of you. Your lands are in need of all warriors they can handle. We also need as many of you that will come. My daughter, Arwen, has wished to take a trip to Mordor and destroy the Ring. With the help of any of you, her path would be easier and quicker. The sooner this job is done, the sooner you can all be back with your own people. Arwen, stand." He motioned to his daughter, Arwen who stood as commanded. "This is Arwen, my daughter. She has one companion so far for this trip. More would be gladly accepted. The war of the Ring has started and we will end it."
Allaina gasped as her father talked of her sister leaving. She sadly shook her head and leaned against the cool stone building she hid behind. She continued to watch against her will.
Arthena stood. "The Ring? Is this the One Ring? How are 6 Elves and 1 Man supposed to do this?"
"You will cross the Great River to Mordor, where Arwen will destroy the Ring in Mount Doom."
Legolas stood and spoke to Elrond. "Where is the Ring? Can we not see it, and make sure this is the truth?"
"You were taught well, Legolas, Son of Thranduil. Yes, you may see the ring." Elrond nodded to his daughter, who placed the ring on a stone slab in the middle of the company. "This is it. The reason for your journey is hidden inside this small piece of gold. This war is over this ring. If all goes well, we will be in peace. I know each of you is important to your own land, but you are also important to ours. My daughter, eldest princess of Rivendell, must have at least three acquaintances. If you are willing to go with her, please stand." Elrond sat in his chair between his sons. Legolas, Celestis, and Elador were the first to stand. Zelgatis and Arthena remained sitting.
Zelgatis stood before Elrond spoke. "I will go in place of Legolas."
Legolas looked questioningly at Zelgatis. "I can go with them, you do not need to worry about me."
"King Elrond," Zelgatis said as he turned to the royal elf. "Legolas is prince of his land. He shouldn't be journeying to Mordor. He should stay with his people. I think it is too dangerous for him, he is still young."
"But I am skilled. I know how to handle Orcs and creatures from the woods. I-." Elrond held up his hand to hush the blond elf.
He walked over to Legolas and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Zelgatis is right. You may be strong and keen, but you are worth too much to your land. If you were killed or caught, your land would die out. There would not be a royal heir to take the throne."
Legolas glared at Zelgatis, then looked at Elrond. After a pause he answered. "I'll stay." He sat in his seat and watched as the others joined together.
"It is done," said Elrond. "You three, along with Aragorn, will be the companions for Arwen. I trust her life in you, along with the ring. This council is over. Legolas: you may stay in Rivendell, but must depart sooner or later. The rest of you must be ready to leave tomorrow morning." Elrond and the elves left the council porch after he spoke. Legolas remained sitting and studied the area where Allaina was hiding. Allaina noticed the elf looking at her from the porch. Arwen cut of his gaze by standing in front of him and spoke to him in a soft tone. "You know about my sister, Allaina, as I see," said Arwen motioning with her eyes to Allaina. "Please look after her. Without me here, she will certainly get curious. I am afraid she will get into trouble. She needs someone to look after her. Do not let her know, just watch her whenever you can for me. Please…" Allaina watched as her sister, whose back was turned to her, talked to Legolas. She leaned to the side, trying to get a good look at the elf and almost tripped but caught herself before she made any noise.
Dusk came and dawn rose. Arwen and her companions left as Allaina, hidden behind a tall tree, and the other Elves stood watching silently. Allaina waved goodbye to her sister, although Arwen could not see her. She left her hiding place and took a visit to the fountain of Rivendell, in the courtyard of the royal family. She sat, staring at the water and running her long fingers through it for hours. Allaina did not do much that day. She took a nap under a large tree with hanging branches. Dusk was looming near when she awoke. The elven princess decided it time to head to her room. She sat on her bed and looked around her circle shaped room. Her room had a blue, almost heavenly, tint to it. She kept flowers in vases around her room and on her walls. Her window was pointed towards East. Allaina changed into her night slip and lightly padded to her bed. She layed on her side facing her window and almost drifted to sleep. She listened closely to the sounds of the night and thought she heard a noise from outside her room. The elf sat up and looked in the direction of the soft noise, which sounded almost like a yawn. As she watched and listened the noise quit. Hoping it was only her imagination, Allaina went back to sleep.
Weeks passed in a blur in Rivendell for Allaina. She had been having dreams or predictions as she saw it, of Arwen's journey. Most of her dreams had gone well, but a nightmare crept into her mind. She saw a smoky, treeless plain. Fires were starting to blaze under the stars. She saw Arwen running towards one of the other Elves, who was lying on the ground face up. Orcs, who were now circling Arwen and the dying Elf, had injured Zelgatis. Two heavily armed and ferocious Orcs were dragging Aragorn away towards Mordor. As Zelgatis bled in Arwen's lap, she tried to slip on the One Ring. Almost as on cue, an Orc dashed out and hit her across the head with the blunt side of his dagger. Arwen dropped the Ring and fell to the ground.
Allaina woke in her room. She sat up and looked, did not see anything out of the ordinary, but could not get back to sleep. Allaina envisioned her sister being drug to Mordor and locked in a cage. Afraid this was a prediction of what had not come to pass, she dressed in a green dress with slits down both sides. Perfect for horse riding. She braided her hair down her back and quietly went to the ground level of the valley. There, she took a pack for enough food for her trip, and a dagger that she hooked to her chain belt. Two horses were sleeping in a small stable.
Above, in one of the Elf common buildings, Legolas dressed for his journey back to Mirkwood. He calculated the time it would take to get to his land and if he hurried, he would be back two mornings later. He left the room and walked quietly down the steps of Rivendell where his steed was asleep in a stable. As he reached the valley floor, he noticed a young woman tending to the horse beside his own. He hid behind a beige statue of an elf and watched her carefully. Legolas recognized her as Allaina and what she was doing with the horse.
Allaina took the saddle off a large white elven horse, hopped onto its back, and galloped away from Rivendell.
Legolas carefully hid himself and watched with his blue eyes as the Princess rode across the Rivendell Bridge to a world she had never been in.
