Declaimer: I do not own anything to do with LOTR, but Legolas will soon be mine, MUAHAHAHAHA, ok, now that I'm done with that, I do own Jessa/Tarieil and all that isn't in LOTR! Woohoo, "I RULE"
Chapter 1:The Jessa Chronicles:The lost maiden
This Tale starts as most do, that have legolas in it, Wondering through the woods with Gimli the dwarf, his closest companion, and Aragorn, a great leader of men. They were wondering towards the village of Prangwood, In search of a quite place to rest after many long weeks of never ending travel.
"By the dawn I am sick of this never-ending woodland road, so much green, its repulsive" came the whine of Gimli from his horse.
"We soon arrive in Prangwood, though not much solace from the trees will you find there "replied Aragorn, obviously tired of Gimli's never ending monolog of complaints.
"Indeed, For Prangwood is made much like My home, dwellings in the trees, I shall feel most at home there, save the fact that rarely an elf sets foot in that land." Came the clear, soft voice of Legolas greenleaf.
All of a sudden a Shrill Scream came from the east, near to where the where. It was that of a woman, but to his keen elven ears, Legolas felt no fear in it. "Orcs!!!" He cried out. "Surrounding some poor girl no doubt, come on lets go"Gimli said roughly, but Legolas had already started to gallop towards the east. Followed by Aragorn, who had departed before Gimli had a chance to speak, "well then, CHARGE"Gimli kicked his horse and fallowed the others.
When Legolas Arrived in the clearing what he saw rendered him frozen for a good few seconds, A girl, by herself, surrounded by 20 Orcs. But it was not this that startled him so, for he would have quickly drawn his bow if that had been the simplicity of the matter. No, the girl had not a weapon, but was kicking and punching at the Orcs with such skilled force, and every time she made a hit, she gave a cry of a warrior. When the others arrived, they to seemed amazed, but the quickly found themselves again and snapped into action. Legolas Shot 5 through the throat before the Orcs took any notice of them, and then Aragorn was upon them, wielding his sword through the hearts of the Orcs as well as Gimli, Hacking away with his axe. All the while the strange girl kept on fighting, seemingly unshaken by the presence of the others.
When finally the last Orcs was slain, did Words pass between the travelers. "Thank....You" breathed the girl heavily, not looking up from the ground. "What is a girl like yourself doing alone in these woods?" Aragon asked with a questioning tone in his voice. She did not get to Answer, for at that moment Gimli burst in" And how in valar did you come to Fight like that!!!" Gimli asked, Not being able to control his curious surprise.
"I have been well trained in the art of unarmed combat, I have had to be, and in answer to your inquiry" she then turned to Aragon"I was heading to the village of Prangwood, I take residence there at the local Inn, but have been away on...business these past days" for the first time she looked up, to reveal the most vibrant of green eyes, like the colour Of moss in the sun.
Twas Legolas who thought her eyes like this, for it was odd to him, this she-warrior.
"Twas a good thing we heard your cry for help" Gimli said loudly, in the way of a hero, desterbing Legolas's thoughts.
Legolas then spoke, and he chose his words carefully "Twas no cry for help, that. Twas a Battle cry, for no fear did your voice show"
The girl then took notice of the elf prince, for the first time.
To all of there surprise, she dropped to one knee, and bowed her head
"Your highness"
"What?" Legolas said, though he knew why she was doing this gesture, he did not understand how this human would know that he was a prince."What be your name, young one?"Aragon rang in time, leaving Legolas in his confused ways.
"I am Called Jessa, as in the hawk's bell, for I to ring clear and true"
"Well then Jessa, as strong a warrior you maybe, I think it best for you to ride back with us to Prangwood, for we to are headed to the Inn there, hopefully you shall guide us?" Aragon said with a smile, looking down at the young girl, "she couldn't be more then 20,and all by her lonesome, I wonder what had happened to her" he thought, feeling oddly drawn to her, like there lay a bond between them.
"Well, I would feel better in the company of numenors finest" Jessa said, slyly.
"Now then, how'd you know that he was of Numenor?" Gimli spoke brashly, voicing the company's thoughts, for her last remark had rendered Aragon speechless, and Legolas as well was still trying to put together his thoughts of this. She look familiar to him, in what way he did not know, and if it was possible that he did know her, well that was almost out of the question, for she was very young indeed, so he doubted he had ever seen her on his travels, and she couldn't have ever passed through Mirkwood...
"Shall we then, through this last clearing are the East Gates of Prangwood, round a few bends and we're at the Inn, best known as the "GreenLeaf Terrace"
At that, Legolas gave a laugh, "wow, my very own inn!!!"
"Let us go now, so we reach it before nightfall" Aragon commanded
With that they were off, Jessa leading the way.
