Disclaimer: Ok, guys and gals! I am going write a little piece of fan fiction about Legolas ( because was it just me or did her like melt the movie screen with his hotness?) Anyways, enough of those hormones, Here is the story of a gal elf who is a singer at the Sleeping TreeTrunk club. Umm, the club and Meela are mine, so yeah.....I own nothing else or whatever...as you can tell, I am not the best at writing disclaimers. So On With The Show... (or fiction I mean....)
Legolas and Gimli stood outside the rough town of HelmLock. It was a rough journey for the two travelers and they needed rest. They had just had several runs in with the Orcs and were drained of all energy.
" Let us go in" Gimli said while taking a step towards the town. " We can find a place to sleep and then be off in the morning."
" I do not think this to be wise." Legolas said, taking in his surroundings. " Let us find shelter in the woods."
" It is quite safe here, Legolas! If anyone gives us trouble, we can handle it!" Gimli stated, standing up to his full height.
" Fine, Gimli" Legolas said wearily and they started into the village. It is a strange thing to see an elf and a dwarf walking side by side. Together, they were quite odd looking and the townspeople could not help but stare. Legolas, a tall elf with a regal sense about him. His long blonde hair was braided and had a bow slung over his back. Gimli, a rough looking dwarf with a long dark beard and long dark hair. An axe was strapped to his belt and he wore a helmet on this head. The two came to a inn called " The Galloping Unicorn" and a met the innkeeper.
" We would like a room" Legolas said, looking directly at the old innkeeper.
"Where is a place for food and drink?" Gimli asked as the creaky old innkeeper gave Legolas a key to their room.
" The only place around here is "The Sleeping Tree Trunk", it is our neighbor. Just go out the door and turn left and you can not miss it." The old man croaked as Legolas pressed some coins in his hand and Gimli and Legolas were off.
The club was packed, filled to the brim with drunken men, laughing loudly. The two friends got themselves a table and plopped down. The bartender saw them and quickly went to their table.
" Greetings and welcome to "The Sleeping Tree Trunk"! My name is Harven and if you gents need anything, just say my name! The show should start very soon."
"Show?" Legolas asked, looking at the man, who was beaming proudly.
" Yes, The show! That's why most of the men are here. My daughter performs here nightly." He said, "Now, may I take your order?"
"Yes, I want a pint of ale and the beef." Gimli said, licking his chops.
" Nothing for me, now, sir." Legolas said and suddenly the lights went dark and the room got very quiet. Like magic, a lady appeared on the tiny stage. She was the most gorgeous creature Legolas had ever set eyes on. She was tall, almost as tall as Legolas and her midnight hair went down to her back. She looked out at the crowd with almond shaped eyes that were as green as jade. She was very curvy and Legolas found his eyes gaze up and down. She was wearing a flowing dress, made of light green materials that made her eyes almost glow. Her skin was like cream and Legolas almost fell out of his seat when she pushed back her raven locks. The gorgeous lady was an elf!
She began to sing:
Now I lie sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly
Softly lie sleeping
Sleep is a reconciling
A rest that peace begets
Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fears at ease
And he says rest you there
Rest that eyes
Doth not in weeping
While she lies sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly
Softly lie sleeping
She sung beautifully, better than any elf he had ever heard and the whole crowd erupted into cheers. Gimli was on his feet and soon the whole place was. Legolas sat there, stunned and as she scanned the crowd with her emerald eyes, he felt his heart leap as they rested on him. They stared at each other for what is seemed like hours until her human father came up to the lady and gave her a hug. They made their way down the bar and she began to carry orders from the kitchen. Legolas wished he had ordered something. So he quickly went up to the barkeep and ordered some fruit.
Soon afterwards, he saw the lady bringing a pint of ale, a leg of beef and a plate of fruit. She smiled as she set down the massive plates. She was having trouble and accidentally spilled some ale on Legolas!
" Oh, how clumsy of me! I am so very sorry, come with me and I will see what I can do for your wet shirt" she said, beckoning him to follow her. Legolas didn't even feel his shirt, sticking to his lean chest. He glanced back Gimli, who winked, and then bit down on the red meat.
Legolas followed her closely and she led him into a back room. She reached for a cloth and looked up into his soulful eyes and said :
"I don't believe I know you. You are not from around here, are you?" As she wet the towel in the sink.
"No, I am very far from home" he said " Is Harven really your father?"
" Oh no, he is not," she said " My father found me in the forest when I was just a baby. My parents left me in the forest with a note, saying about how they couldn't keep me anymore because it was dangerous to be with them. He took me in, I have never heard from my real elf parents"
"I am sorry, milady"
"May I?" she asked, motioning with the wet cloth.
" Oh, of course" Legolas said lightly, trying not to show have nervous he was. " I am Legolas, by the way. Can I ask you your name?"
" Meela" she stated, with dabbing lightly at his chest " Is that your companion out there?"
"Oh yes, Gimli the dwarf. He is quite a good fellow. He has saved my life on numerous amounts of time." Legolas felt his heart beat faster as she reached for a dry towel.
"You know, you are the first elf I have seen in a long while. I have heard about dwarfs, but I have never seen one before." Meela whispered excitedly " Have you two had many great adventures?"
"Yes, my lady. By your tone, I can tell you lead a sheltered life" He said as she ran the towel over his torso lightly
"A sheltered eternity" She glumly proclaimed " My father will not let me leave. He doesn't think I can protect myself. I am far better trained than he thinks."
"Really?" Legolas asked
"Yes, there was an elf that came before you. Riven was her name and she taught me how to handle this weapon called stars." She looked at him as she finished her drying "There that's better."
" I could teach you how to use a bow," Legolas volunteered as she open the door
"That would be magnificent!" She cried eagerly and then got a hold of herself. "I mean, if you could take some time out of your journey to help me, it would be a great favor to me." Meela blushed.
"Of course" Legolas replied, his cheeks going rosy "Tomorrow, first thing?"
" Yes, I look foreword to it." She smiled bashfully "Goodbye," and left to serve the rest of the men.
Legolas was floating as he joined Gimli, who was now on his 3rd pint. He sat down and Gimli laughed as he stared off into space.
"I think you are a tad love struck, Legolas" Gimli said, chewing on some rolls. " What happened, my friend?" He asked
"I am to give her archery lesson tomorrow so we will be prolonging are stay " Legolas stood up " I must retire then, see you in the morning"
"Farewell, lets hope she is worth all this trouble." Gimli sighed
" Oh she is."
