So this is a story of Tauriel and Legolas. There's a little action intertwined into the story. I tried to remember as much as I could but it's hard because I haven't seen the movies in a while. So some is relevant to the actual stories and most I just kind went with it. None of this is accurate. Names are made up, realms are made up, plots are made up. Feel free to correct me, and I'll try to get it fixed. It might change parts of the story, but just go with it. I read some other FanFics to get an idea for mine. Let me know your thoughts and if I should continue to post. Enjoy. I own nothing.
He began to get ready for the gathering taking place at his palace later this evening. Legolas dressed himself in a green tunic and let his blonde hair hang down along his back. All of the realms of importance would be in Mirkwood tonight to discuss the matter at hand, Muldor. Muldor had been thought to have been abandoned for years, but the spell casted around the crumbling, stone palace had been broken revealing the work that had been taking place for years. Orcs created and trained, thousands possibly even millions of them. The shire ring had been developed into a greater power than anyone could have imagined. Everyone was gathering to decide what the next step taken should be.
Legolas had never seen so many people enter through the gate doors. As the last group of travelers entered the doors, the gates were shut and locked. Everyone gathered in the garden outside the palace. Conversation and drinks were shared while the people waited on their host.
" Father, I think it is time we addressed our guests."
" I think you are right, Legolas." The King said as he and his son exited the throne room. They walked into the Garden filled with thousands of their comrades. The Garden was decorated extravagantly for the occasion. Lights intertwined in all of the vine-filled fences. Many tables surrounded the fountain found in the middle of the garden. Each table had candles and flowers in a unusual array to create the centerpiece. The fountain lit up, grabbing everyone's attention.
The King lightly tapped his wine glass with his fork to get everyone's attention. The air filled with silence as everyone lent their eyes and ears to the source of the noise.
" We have all been avoiding the topic of why we are really here. But it's time we discuss our course of action. I would like to ask all of the council members to meet in the dining hall. It will be the people's decision in the end, but we want to make sure we have the most logical choices."
The council members began to make their way to the dining hall. The council members included the family members of power from each realm, each captain of the guard, important elders, and veteran war heroes. As everyone entered the room, the doors were shut. There were over a hundred members inside the large dining hall. The Kings and elders filled the chairs around the long oak table, while the rest stood. Legolas stood behind his father with his hand on top of the backrest. He looked around the room. He recognized majority of the members in the room as he has seen them in council meetings before. But his eyes stumbled upon a few new faces. A couple of older men stood together in the corner. Legolas had heard of them, they single-handedly took down 200 orcs, war heroes. A few of royal family members had come of age to finally join their family in the council meetings. Legolas had also heard that a few Captains of the Guards had been retired and replaced. He assumed that the broad, blonde-haired man standing behind his friend, Aragon was the replacement in Herish. But the one member he could not figure the identity of was the red-headed elf placed near Lord Elrond and Arwen. She stood perfectly, eyes wandering the room, with her long red hair hanging loosely down her back. He had no idea who she was, although he assumed she was from Rivendell. She kept close to Elrond like he was her father, but to Legolas' knowledge, his only daughter was Arwen. He was awoken from his trance when his father lightly elbowed him in the side. Then the King began to speak, " The room is now open to ideas. Every idea is welcome and in the end we will decide on the wisest choices."
" I saw we attack while they are not ready," yelled one of the newly-added council members.
"No, I say we wait till they come to us!" voiced another one from the same group.
While different ideas were being thrown around the room, Legolas noticed something strange. The red-haired elleth leaned down and began to whisper in Lord Elrond's ear. When she was finished, Elrond looked up at her with satisfaction. Then he stood and the room was silent.
" I suggest we send out a scout party. Only a few so they go unnoticed. They can give us an idea of what is going on inside of Muldor. Depending on the number of orcs and their plan, we can decide when to attack and how we plan on proceeding with the attack." Lord Elrond voiced his plan with pride.
Everyone took a second to take in what Lord Elrond had just said. Legolas had to admit that this idea was the most logical idea devised. Knowing the numbers and their plan to use the ring would give them the advantage when attacking. Legolas had a feeling that this wasn't Elrond's idea, but the unknown elleth's.
They had decided to keep everyone in Mirkwood until the scout party returned. Each kingdom offered up one warrior to participate in the party. Mirkwood volunteered Legolas since he was their most skilled and successful warrior. Herish offered Aragon, and most of the other realms gave their Captain of the Guards, including Rivendell, whose Captain, Legolas was unfamiliar with. The King had decided to give the scout party a couple of days to prepare before they leave.
The meeting was dismissed and the King went to address the people while Legolas began to make his way back to his room when he saw a glimpse of red shine around the corner. He followed the red to see the elleth wandering around the kingdom. She walked around and decided to enter the stables. Legolas chose to take his chance to figure out who this mysterious elleth was.
As he entered the stables, she walked up the last stall on the right and began stroking the horse's face. Before he could say anything she spoke without turning around to face him.
" Is he yours?" she asked.
" This is Asiaz." he said proudly. He waited a second before speaking again.
" You're new to the council. What is your position among Rivendell?" he asked.
She hesitated at first, but finally answered. " Captain," she said quietly. This news shocked Legolas not only was she one of the first female Captains, but that also meant she was along for the ride to Muldor.
" You're going to Muldor." he stated rather then asked. She nodded quietly and continued to keep her attention on the horse. "You must be very skilled to become Captain of the Guards in Rivendell." She smiled slightly when he said that.
" I guess you could say that. Probably nothing compared to the stories of the legendary Prince Legolas though." she said as she bowed with a smile. Now it was his turn to show a grin.
" Well you know my name, what is yours?" he asked.
" Tauriel."
I will try to update as soon as I can. I'm in the midst of basketball so my schedule is a little hectic. It might be a couple of days, but not too many. I'll update probably every 2 or 3 days. Sorry for any mistakes I make, correct me and I will get them fixed. Also if you have any ideas feel free to let me know and I'll try to include them.
