Chapter 1

Lorielle was busy with her usual tasks when Lord Elrond came and asked for her assistance in healing. When Lorielle entered the room she saw a young hobbit lying in a bed shivering from high fever. The moment Lorielle saw the young hobbit she knew exactly what to do. She quickly went to gather her herbs and hot water and when she returned to the hobbit Lorielle started to mix the herbs while chanting a healing incantation. When done, Lorielle put the salve she'd made on the wound knowing that all there is to do now is to wait for the hobbit to wake up.

For nearly a month Lorielle tended to the hobbit whose name she later found out to be Frodo Baggins. Even though the wound in his shoulder started to heal more and more for each passing day Lorielle knew that it would never really heal properly. Even with the help of her healing skills. If it wasn't Lorielle who tended to Frodo it was Lord Elrond and during those moments Lorielle would walk around in Rivendell thinking and worrying about the hobbit. It was during one of these walks that Lorielle met Legolas for the first time. At first they just passed each other with a friendly 'hello'. Sometimes during her walks, Lorielle would be accompanied by Arwen. Arwen has been a good friend of Lorielle for a long time.

On October 24th Lorielle got words that Frodo had awakened and she was eager to talk to the little hobbit. When Lorielle got closer to the room where Frodo were staying she could hear voices and decided to visit him another time. Just as she turned around another hobbit ran into her. This caused both of them to fall.

'I'm sorry miss, I wasn't looking.'

'It's ok Sam.'

'I just got words that Mr Frodo had awakened and I wanted to see him.'

'He's awake, just go in. I'm sure he wants to see you as well.'

Just as Lorielle was about to go back to what she was doing a hand stopped her before she even had the chance to do anything. Looking over her shoulder Lorielle saw Lord Elrond.

'I heard you outside, Frodo wish to see you.'

'Then I'll see him.'

Lorielle entered the room that Frodo was residing inside and saw him talking to Sam and Gandalf.

'It's good to see that you have awakened, Mr Frodo.'

'Who are you?'

'I am Lorielle and beside Lord Elrond I'm the one who has healed your wounds.'

'Thank you for healing me.'

'It's nothing, but your friend Sam have been worried about you and have been watching over you, hoping that you'd wake up.'

At this Sam blushed and looked away making both Lorielle and Frodo along with Elrond and Gandalf to laugh quietly.

'Well it's good to see that you have awakened Frodo but I think I have some other business to attend. Have a good day Frodo and Sam. And I think I'll see the both of you later.'

Just as Lorielle left the stairs leading up to the room Lord Elrond called for her once again.

'Lorielle, there is to be held a meeting tomorrow and I want you to attend.'

'I have a feeling that having me attend isn't the only reason you want me at this meeting, is it?'

'No it is not but whatever decision is made tomorrow I wish that you'd join.'

'I'm not good with either a sword or a bow, the only reason I can see and understand is that whatever it is that you want me to join is that they have someone who is skilled with healing.'

'Nothing passes you unnoticed does it?'

'I'm doing my best my Lord.'

As Lorielle walked away neither she nor Lord Elrond noticed a pair of eyes following them. When Lorielle walked away the one who had been looking at them started to follow. And he would've continued to if it wasn't for someone stopping him.

'So, Legolas, I see that you have gotten your eyes on someone.'

'Aragorn, so you saw that didn't you?'

'I don't blame you my friend. Cause she is indeed beautiful. However do not make any haste movements regarding her.'

'Do not worry my friend, but what is her name? Do you know?'

'Her name is Lorielle and she was taken under the wing of Lord Elrond when she first came to Rivendell. So if you one day wish to have a deeper relationship with her it is Lord Elrond you need to impress. Cause to him she is like a daughter.'

'Do not worry my friend, at the moment I don't think that there is time for any of that.'

In the meantime Lorielle had returned to her own room to start packing one bag with things she thought would be useful for whatever it is that she would join. Knowing that her role would be that of a healer Lorielle made sure to bring dried herbs and other useful healing supplies.

After everything was packed Lorielle set out to walk around in Rivendell. As she passed the area where archers were training she noticed that someone was there. Quietly she snuck closer to have a better look. When Lorielle got a better look she noticed that it wasn't an elf from Rivendell. Whoever it was he managed to get her attention. To get a better view Lorielle decided to move and as she started to walk she stepped on a twig making it snap. This caused the archer to turn around. The moment their eyes met Lorielle felt something draw her closer to the elf. Before Lorielle could take another step closer to the elf someone called her name. Turning around she saw that Aragorn was on his way towards her.

'Lorielle, Lord Elrond wishes to see you.'

'Thank you Aragorn.'

When he knew that Lorielle was out of earshot Aragorn turned to Legolas.

'You really fancy her, don't you?'

'I just don't know what it is, but there's something about her that makes me look her way.'

'Just don't let it distract you too much.'

'I will try not to.'

'By the way, Lord Elrond sent me to find you. He wishes to speak with you. I don't know what it'll be about.'

'Well I can't have him waiting then. I'll see you tomorrow Aragorn.'

'I'll see you in the morning.'

In the meantime Lorielle arrived at Lord Elronds study and before she could knock on his door it opened and Arwen stepped out.

'Good evening Arwen.'

'Good evening Lorielle.'

Before Lorielle could say anything else Lord Elrond stepped up to the door.

'Good evening my lord, I got words that you wanted to see me.'

'That can wait until tomorrow Lorielle. Why don't you two take a walk before going to bed? Who knows when the two of you will see each other again?'

So instead of talking with Lord Elrond, Lorielle and Arwen decided to take a small stroll through the gardens. When they came upon a bridge they saw that Aragorn was there waiting.

'Go to him Arwen, I'll be fine. I'll see you in the morning before the council.'

At the same time Legolas had arrived at Lord Elronds study. He knocked on the door and was asked to enter.

'Good evening Lord Elrond.'

'Good evening Legolas. Please have a seat.'

'What is it you wish to speak to me about?'

'Lorielle.'

'Oh.'

'Do not think that I didn't notice you earlier, I just decided not to take any heed. Before you say anything else I just want you to know that I value Lorielle like as if she were my own daughter. The reason I called you here tonight is because I want you to know beforehand that she will be joining the council tomorrow. And whatever is decided tomorrow I want you to know that I specifically asked this of her.'

'And she agreed to do whatever you asked of her?'

'That she did. And I ask you now, will you be able to keep your emotions and feelings towards her in control?'

'I do not know if I can, but I'll try. It's just that whenever I see her there is something about her that draws me near. When we locked eyes earlier at the training field for archers there was some invisible force that drew me closer to her. Before I was drawn out of it by Aragorn calling her name I had already crossed half the field towards her. Had he not come when he did I don't know what might have happened.'

In the middle of Legolas rambling Lord Elrond looked at him with a sort of understanding in his eyes at what the elf was going through. Sometimes bonds that are meant to be between elves makes them draw closer to each other without them knowing. And from what Elrond could understand Legolas and Lorielle had such a bond that makes them draw close to each other without them realising it. And knowing that Legolas would try to keep his hand to himself he felt more relaxed in letting Lorielle join whatever is decided tomorrow. And he had a similar talk with Aragorn earlier and he also promised that if it seemed like they were getting transfixed with each other he would pull them out of it. Even though he said that there might come a time when he can't pull them out of it by not being near them. To that Elrond said that when that time comes it comes.

'Do not worry too much Legolas, have a good rest and I'll see you tomorrow.'

'Good night.'
