A/N: Hello everyone! :) I decided to write another LoTR fanfic, because I read too many Legolas stories. :) This one has no connection whatsoever to my other fic. (A Sunset love)

Disclaimer: Of course, none of the LoTR characters belong to me. They belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. So don't sue me. Only Elenya Silverstar belongs to me. So don't steal her. :)

Love among the mist

Chapter 1: A baby is found

An elf woman looked sadly upon her baby daughter who stared up at her with utmost innocence.

"I wanted to keep you... to love you. Alas, I cannot." The woman sighed, wrapping up the baby in silver satin blankets, placing her in a wicker basket.

"The time of our people, the healer elves, is fading. But, I want you to have a wonderful life." The woman explained to the baby, as if it understood her. The woman walked near a river, the Greyflood. Before placing the baby in the river, she took off her silver leaf necklace and placed it around the baby's neck, and placed a card within the folds of the blanket, including the baby's name. The baby girl seemed to understand what was happening and began to weep pitifully, her sapphire blue eyes shining as tears gathered.

"Oh please, don't make this any harder Elenya!" The mother weeped as well, her own silver blue eyes shining amongst the tears. She gathered the basket in her arms and placed it gently into the water.

"Never forget, Elenya Silverstar... I love you."

The basket traveled quickly, and began coursing down the Hoarwell river, on its journey to Rivendell.

****************

Celebrian had been walking along the shores of Rivendell when a baby's cries were heard. Her eyes immediately caught the sight of a basket in the Hoarwell River. Quickly, she went to retrieve it, not caring if her robes became wet. Peering into the basket, she saw a baby... an elf baby! Once the baby saw Celebrian, it stopped crying. Celebrian noticed the eyes of the baby to be of an unusual color... deep, sapphire blue. She saw a silver leaf necklace around the baby's neck. Silver leaves were a symbol of the healer elves, as were the green leaves for Lothlorien.

"Oh you poor thing..." Celebrian cooed, taking the basket into her arms and walking back home. When she arrived back in Rivendell, Elrond was at her side immediately.

"Celebrian! Melamin [my love], where have you been? You said you would be back hours ago!" Elrond said. Celebrian looked up at Elrond with teary eyes, and motioned for him to come closer. He did, and saw the baby.

"Whose is it?" Elrond asked.

"This is a healer elf baby of noble blood. Daughter of the Silverstar family. Her name is Elenya." Celebrian explained.

"The Healer elves? .. Their time is fading..." Elrond mused.

"Elrond, we cannot just leave a baby, one of our kin, alone. Please..." Celebrian didn't need to say any more.

"Don't worry, Celebrian. I didn't intend on leaving her to her death. She will live with us and become a member of our family." Elrond said, with a smile upon his face.

By this time, young Arwen, Elladan and Elrohir came towards their parents, wondering what all the commotion was about.

"Mother, what is it you carry?" Arwen asked.

"This is your new baby sister." The three children looked shocked.

"Mother..? You didn't look preg-" Elladan was cut off by Arwen stepping on his foot.

"Indirectly, she is ours. I found her this mourning in the Hoarwell River. Your father and I have decided to keep her." hearing this, Arwen was overjoyed.

"Do you hear that? Soon, there will be TWO girls to gang up on you boys!" she said happily to her brothers. The brothers ran, with Arwen chasing them. Celebrian called them back.

"When she gets older, never tell her that she was found. Don't tell her that we adopted her. Understood?" The three nodded and left.

"Melamin [my love], she will also have to abandon the name of Silverstar, to avoid suspicion." Elrond said. Celebrian nodded.

"Welcome to the family, Elenya Half-Elven." She whispered as the baby fell asleep.
