Author's Note:

Sorry for any punctuation and grammar error. I am working on that. This fanfic is mainly about Legolas and Aranel (which means Sarah in English when translated). There will be a bit of Arwen and Aragorn pairing and also Haldir and Ithilwen (it means moon-daughter) in the later chapters.

CHAPTER 1: DINNER TIME

In Lothlorien

It was dinner time and Aranel, Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn were eating at the dinner table. Usually, everyone will be happily feasting and was chatting but tonight it was not the same. Aranel was in her seat at the same time staring at her food. Aranel could not help but stare at her grandmother who was usually chatty and would often talk to hr about her duties with Haldir or what activities that she has been up to lately.

Her grandmother, Lady Galadriel kept on glancing nervously at her husband. But her grandfather, Lord Celeborn was happily choosing and helping himself at his favourite food over the table. He took no notice of his wife or granddaughter's strange behavior at all.

"May I be excuse please?" Aranel asked hopefully as she displays a face of innocence.

She had totally lost her appetite to eat after watching her grandmother staring at her the half time and keep on glancing at her grandfather. She wanted desperately to return to her talan where she had always felt very peaceful whenever she is there alone.

"Yes you may, dear child." Lady Galadriel answered at the same time observing her youngest yet most favourite granddaughter.

She seems rather quiet than usual. Aranel put on a fake smile as she stood up from her chair and quickly exited the dinner room to avoid any strange glances from the other elves. As soon as she closed the door, Aranel ran all the way to her talan where she met Haldir who was on his way to the training grounds to meet his brothers, Rumil and Orophin for a friendly archery match.

"Good evening Lady....." Haldir struggled to say and bow his head at the same time as Aranel reached him.

"Same to you Haldir!" Aranel called as she ran passed Haldir without looking at him.

Haldir suddenly looked up feeling puzzled about why would she run as if she was being chased by something or someone. Usually she would stop for a minute and great him before resuming her activities again. After quite some thought, Haldir decided that it was none of his concern and then continue to reach his destination.

As soon as Aranel ran into her talan, she shut the door and leaned against it. She was breathing so hard that she almost collapsed to the ground. As soon as Aranel catch her breath, she took of her shoes and lay down on her bed feeling very tired and restless. She then started to think about some of the thing that may affect her life in the future.
