Today we are traveling to Mirkwood. My father is Elrond lord of Rivendell my father brought us for the festival as well as they need to have a discussion. I am the youngest out of my brothers and sister. I am also half human/half elf. I am only 23 winters old while my sister is 2,790. I am young but because of my human side I grew faster than her or my brothers. I stopped aging at 22 and took the immortal path. Though I look nothing like my sister nor brothers. They all have dark hair like father. I have auburn hair at the top that falls into a golden blonde at the ends near my waist. While my Siblings have grey/blue eyes, I have emerald green eyes with gold circling the middle.

Elrond is my father, when his wife went to grey havens he met a human who was my mother, they fell in love but were not mates. She died giving birth to me. I grew up loved by my siblings regardless. Arwen was always stunning and beautiful, I always felt ill featured compared to her, though I was quite taller than her, I was 6'0 while she was 5'8, Though I was quite happy when I got more curves when I got older and got bigger breasts than her.

As I ride my horse, Lobor. I got him when I was 6, he is an immortal horse which they choose their master and when they first learn to walk and after he was born, he walk up to me and made the connection, we have been inseparable ever since. Thoughts race threw my heads, they have not seen our kin in a while, though this is my first time meeting anyone outside our Realm. My father always worried about me, though I think I should have been a boy. I love fighting, getting dirty and riding through the woods and mountains. My gift unlike my father and sister, who has the gifts of foresight, I have the gift of talking to animals and the element of earth. It would explain why I have more friends in animals then my own kin.

Lobor gets my attention by telling me we are almost there. I jump out of my thoughts. I am weary, of meeting new people. We are greeted at the gates and brought inside. We walk away for our horses and my heart saddens but I have a royal duty. As we walk to the throne room my father walks up first and bows, with us behind him. I get distracted by the owl who sits at the side of the king. He is beautiful; he is a pure white owl with gold eyes. He makes eye contact with me and I say "What a pretty bird, you are."

The bird tilts his head and hoots then flies down as I put my hand out he lands on it. I smile as it looks at me "Hello, I am Faervel." He tilts his head and hoots; I smile then pet him "That is a pleasant name, Garther."

My sister then pulls my skirt as I look down at her; she moves her eyes to the king and back to me. I gulp and whisper "Go back to your King." He hoots and flees back to the king. Then I bow, I'm not sure if he had said anything but he says "Lord of Rivendell please rise as well as your kin." We all rise; I still have not looked at the king, though I don't know what I am afraid of. I feel his eyes on me; the king must have said something though, thanks to me getting stuck in my thoughts again. I didn't realize till my sister whispered "Fae" I bow "Your highness, thank you for having us." The king then says with mirth in his voice "You are quite welcome, though that does not answer my question."

I look up into his stormy grey eyes and I felt a weird connection, like we were strung together. I bow my head as I blush "I am sorry, my lord. I did not hear your question."

He has gotten off his throne now, and is walking down the stairs. I thought I was going to get to be in trouble but stops at my father "Elrond let us go discuss our business, your kin are excused. Masha show them to their rooms."

The she-elf named Masha bows and said "Yes, Your highness."

We bow as we walk out of the room, I can feel the kings eyes on my back. Later after we settle into the room, I grow weary and ask for someone to lead me to the stables. A red head she- elf bows "My lady, I am Tauriel, Captain of the guard. Please follow me."

I smile "Please call me Fae, and Yes Tauriel, I shall follow you."

As we walk making small talk, I ask her "Will you be my friend?"
She looks at my strange for a moment and I say "I'm sorry; I never had friends except for animals or my sister. I know that-"

She smiles and interrupts "I'm sorry my lady, I meant no offense. I am just not use to other Royalty befriending me but yes my lady, I would love to be your friend."

I smile "Great."

She leaves me at the stables and I sit there with Lobor for 2 hours then I see an animal I have never seen before, it is the king's beast with big antlers. I smile as I walk over to it, I just stare at it but it looks at me then behind me. I smile, it makes it a noise but I didn't quite understand it. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."

He makes a noise again that sounded like master or king. "What do you mean? Your master?"

Then a smooth rich voice says "I believe he is trying to enlighten you that I am here."

I turn and jump to look to see the king leaning against the wall, I bow and say "I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't know you were here."

He walks closers and walks to the beast and pets it then feeds it an apple. I look at him as he walks around the animal, with such grace. My heart is raising, I don't know what to do. I say "umm, excuse me my lord." I turn around about to walk out, he says "Did I excuse you?"

I turn around and say as I bow "I'm sorry, I meant no offense." I feel as though every time I talk to him, I have said sorry at least once. He then says "Come here."

I walk over, to where he is in the stable and I look to him. He smiles at me then holds his hand out for me. I just look at his hand unsure, then up to his eyes. His eyes hold mirth behind them as he raises an eyebrow at me. I then do what I do best run, I whistle for Lobor who runs to me, I hop on then run to the edge of the forest. Something scares me about the king, I am not sure what Is but I never realized how much trouble I was going to be In when I go back and not by the king but my father.

I am quite scared to go back, it's super time but I don't think I want to eat and not in the kings presence anyway. I finally get the courage to go back, as I arrive at the stable, I see Tauriel looking at me with a smirk "My lady, I believe you are wanted by your father two hours ago."

I let out a deep breath and whisper to myself "Well at least it was not the king."

Though she heard me "Yes well, dinner is when the sunsets. You don't have much time. I think it would be best if you got dressed for dinner my lady and talked to your father after, he is not pleased, maybe after he has ate he will calm."

I then smile as we start walking out of the stables "I can only hope."

I take a quick bath when I get back to my room, then braid my hair into a full braid, not an elf look at all. Then I put my gold head crown on the green and gold dress that fits nicely on my body and I then put boots on under it I sure hope father doesn't realize it. As I finish putting my shoes on my sister, Arwen walks in and says "Fae, sit down we have to fix your hair!"

I then glare at her "Why it is braided, is it not?"

She then gives me a hell of a glare "Do you wish for father to lock you up for all times! Listen to me."

I roll my eyes as I sit down. She braids the top of my dark red hair entwining it with the golden blonde and finished in minutes then puts my head crown back on. She hands me a mirror and I say "Wow, it is amazing sister. What will I do when you go to live with your human mate?" I then turn around to face her.

She rolls her eyes and caresses me face gently "No matter what sister, I want you to live. You need to live for father; I will not be here for all times. Father and I have both seen that you will like a long life, but I need you to pick the long life."

I look at her with sad eyes as I hug her "You will have happiness and one day, I will see you again but let us not dwell on that Arwen for we have plenty time now."

She smiles "Yes—"

Then a knock comes to the door and a maid enters "My Ladies it is time for supper."

My say thank you and follow her to the dining hall, I smile as I see Tauriel standing there as my sister goes to her seat. I then say in a whisper "To show our friendship."

I think of a pink lily from back home and it grows in my hand, I then hand it to her "It from our home."

She blushes which is surprising, she bows "Thank you, my lady."

I give her a small smirk and roll my eyes "Fae, Tauriel my friends call me Fae."

I then walk away when I realize, my sister has already seated and the butler pulls out a seat that is right next to the king. I try to roll my eyes as I walk forward and bow "My lords" then I sit down as the butler pushes my seat in. I look across the table to my father, he pursues his lips at me and raises an eyebrow at me which I return with a smile and try not to giggle. "Father, Is there something the matter?"

He ignores my question as we get served or food. My father and the king mostly talk, as I stare at Tauriel then smile and look back at my food. It's almost a game then I hear a question "Lady Fae, I hear that you can talk to animals?"

I smile but I don't look up from my soup "Um, yes. I can speak to animals…. Also I have element of earth."

The person then says "You must spend quite some time talking to animals and not your own kin; I presume you have a natural beauty to you. I am Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."

I then look up and I realize that I was talking; I look into a pair of piercing blue eyes. I smile "I'm so sorry, my name is Fae, and it is a pleasure to meet you. Though you are right to account I have more friends in nature then kin and thank you, though I do not see what you see."

He smiles; I realize he looks just like the king except his blue eyes show he is younger and not as wise. He then looks to his father and then my sister then grabs my hand and shows me her vision as I get pulled into it.

Vision

I'm sitting in a garden with Legolas he puts a blue flower in my hair and he's smiling at me, as he rubs a hand across my swollen stomach. He smiles at me "Mother, I can't wait to meet her. I'm sure she will be great and beautiful just like you. Will you still have the same love for me, even though I am not yours?"

I smile as I put a hand to his face "Legolas you are my son, no matter if we aren't blood, nothing will change that. I will love you just as much as her."

I stand he kisses me on my forehead "Love you mother" as walks away as the king comes and kisses me on the forehead and whispers "How are you, my love?" Then rubs my belly and finishes as he kisses the tip of my ear and says "and OUR little one?"

Vision ends.

I take a deep breath as I come out of the vision and let go of her hand and look down as I blush as tears comes to my eyes. My father then says "Arwen, what did you see? Fae are you well?"

She vision clears her eyes then smiles towards father and the king "Nothing that I can say, for Fae must choose."

I look down at my salad, I feel like I am going to be sick. I stand up and bow to the king and my father "Excuse me, my lords I'm going to retire for the evening. I am feeling quite ill."

With that I rush out of the room, I go up to my Bed Chambers. I take off my clothes and change in my night attire. I sit next to the window as I fall asleep before I see the king in my room, he lifts me then carries me to be as I fall asleep. I see him kiss my forehead as I fall asleep into the darkness.
