Disclaimer- I don't own anyone except Marial Athome and Daniella Spellding,
All the other characters either belong to JRR Tolken. Ok I am saying this
now, I have horrible grammar. If it is going to bother you then just don't
read this story. Oh and Ada is 'Father' in elvish. Takes place a few years
before the fellowship.
Chapter one:
"This is insane!" Legolas Greenleaf raged, his usually calm manor replaced by an angry look. "5 Maidens! 5 months!" He turned to his two best friends, Aragorn son of Arathorn and Daniella Spellding, both humans raised in Rivendell. They had come to Mirkwood in answer to their Elvin friend's plea.
"Hold on sweetie, calm down" Daniella said, putting a hand on his shoulder. She was a pretty human with long brown hair and honey brown eyes to match. "Now would you please tell us why you practically begged us to come here straight away?"
"Because Ada is driving me insane!" Legolas exploded
"So?" Aragorn shrugged "Doesn't he always?" Daniella smacked Aragorns shoulder then looked at Legolas expectantly.
"Ok" he said calmly "Well as you two know I broke to my father that a few months ago that I simply refused to marry Arwen-"
"Arwen" Daniella said bitterly. She and Aragorn exchanged a glance and shuttered.
"So," Legolas continued "Eventually my father conceded and our engagement was broken. Now my fathers on the warpath! He's now given up on Rivendell and wants me to marry a maiden from Lorien, to connect out two lands."
"But Lorien doesn't have a princess" Aragorn pointed out.
"I know, he's so desperate for me to marry that he doesn't care anymore. He's picked 5 maidens from 5 prominent Lorien families as candidates. Each maiden will spend a month here in Mirkwood with me. I have to pick one to be my bride or my father will pick one for me." Legolas said in despair "Girl number four should be here any minute now"
"Number four?" Daniella repeated, confused. "Well how were the other three?"
"Horrible" Legolas said bitterly "Their all the same! 'Hello prince Legolas, what a nice day Prince Legolas, dance with you? What an honor Prince Legolas!'" he mimicked "They all fawn over me!"
"And that's..........bad" Aragorn said slowly. Legolas and Daniella glared at him. Legolas opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a horn of arrival.
"She's here" he grimaced, "come with me, I have to greet her." The three friends made their way to the front entrance of Mirkwood palace where about a dozen elves were making their way towards the palace. Behind them, a jet black horse with a white diamond on its forehead bore a girl completely hidden by a hooded emerald green cloak. The horse was led by none other then Haldir of Lorien.
"Haldir!" King Thranduil said "What brings you here?"
"Well your latest girl here is a friend of mine and I wanted to see her off." Haldir said
"Wonderful, you must stay a few days!" The Elvin king proclaimed. Haldir nodded thankfully then helped the girl off her horse.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Haldir said loudly "I present to you Miss Marial Athome. Legolas dutifully stepped forward and took her hand.
"I am happy you are going to be spending the next month with us Lady Marial." He said politely.
"Well I'm glad one of us is" Marial said, snatching back her hand. "And may I say what an honor it was to be forced here against my will." Everyone stared at the elf, especially Legolas whose deep blue eyes widened in shock.
Ok what do you think? Ok the plot is not actually developed in this chapter but there actually is a plot! R/R!
