For Our People

Arwen and Legolas are sitting alone next to a very sick Elrond lying in his bed. Arwen is holding his hand with tears streaming down her face.

"We understand completely master Elrond and are going to leave immediately," Legolas says with honour.

"I will save you and our people Ada, I will," Arwen says with tears still streaming down her face.

"No my daughter, I don't want you to go and risk your life for me, it is a dangerous journey to the elven garden and the place is only heard in myth," Elrond whispered.

"If it will save you I will go, I know in my heart it exists" Arwen replied.

"If it will save the elves we must take the chance, we are the only ones strong enough to go out of the few who have been blessed not to receive such a illness," Legolas explained.

"And we thought we were immortal," Elrond coughed.

"We are but one of our own has done this to us, its different," Legolas explained.

"I'm going with Legolas I cant send him alone and my blood is the key to the garden I must go," Arwen added.

"Arwen..." was all Elrond was able to whisper.

"Be strong, I am prepared to go I have heard the stories many times of the fountain which flows sparking blue water which will bring back the elves immortality if ever taken away."

"She will be waiting for you," Elrond said.

"I know she will but I have to, please understand father," Arwen said as she began to cry again.

"I do." Elrond answered as he began to cry and he moved his frail arm and reached and grabbed Legolas' hand and he spoke again, "Protect my daughter."

"I will obey your command with great pleasure," Legolas replied with a tear in this eye.

"I love you Ada," Arwen cried as she hugged her father and Legolas left the room, "I will save you I know it's not our time to end. Legolas will take me to the garden, we will be saved." Arwen kissed her father on the head and left the room.

Outside Arwen stood by the river that ran through Rivendell at her favourite spot with her pack and her horse looking in to the water. Legolas slowly walked up behind her leading his horse behind him.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. Arwen jumped slightly startled and then turned to him.

"Yes. I believe we have no other option, we are the last of our people and only my blood can open the gate."

"Fill a phial of your blood and I will take it myself to open the gate or we can always get aid from..."

"NO! We cant," Arwen snapped back.

"Lady Arwen what ever is the matter?"

"No, she has Aragorn under her spell, she got to him before so got to us here. Once we have saved our people I am going after her myself to break the spell he is under."

"No you aren't, Aragorn is my friend if he is in danger then im going to save him with you."

"So be it," Arwen answered as she got on her horse, "We leave now."

"But Lady Arwen we do not know where to begin looking for the garden,"

"I know but something is making me think head north."

"I trust you my lady," Legolas replied as he climbs on his horse and they both rode off on their horses.

A/N: Okay well I hope you like it so far I thought it would be good for the elves to have an adventure as they are my favourites, also I thought it would be good for Arwen to be a main character as I liked her and thought she wasn't in the books enough. So please review and let me know what ya think.
