Thank you Tolkien for Lord of the Ring! I own nothing save for Dinenloth and few other elves, whose names will be given later. By the way, anyone know Thranduil and Elrond's wives names? I gave them another name since I didn't know.
Please leave reviews! I'm new here so any guidance is greatly accepted! Thank you and hope you enjoy!
Three years had gone by since the death of the beloved queen of Greenwood and darkness permeated the realm. No laughter, music, smiles, nor dance was heard or seen. King Thranduil was slowly fading and all could see it on his face. No healer could aid him.
Thranduil's young son, Legolas, was hardly seen outside for he stayed cooped up in his room. People would try to bring smiles on their faces if only a little but to no avail. Without Sylvana, there was nothing.
When Thranduil first met Sylvana, he was enchanted by the beautiful faerie forest maiden. She brought light not only into his life but into the lives of the people for they suffered terribly from the loss of their king, Orondir. When Thranduil and Sylvana wedded, laughter and music was once again heard in the air and through the realm. Soon after, the realm rejoiced when Legolas was born. Legolas had no need for anything. The three were rarely seen apart. Smiles adorned the royal family everyday. No one could ever imagine darkness penetrating the land again.
However, the darkness returned. Light was stolen away, so suddenly and unexpected. Sylvana and four year old Legolas were strolling through the forest when they were ambushed by Orcs that crept in. The guards that were with Sylvana and Legolas did their best to protect them. As they were within sight of the gates, an orc managed to break through and would have killed Legolas had not Sylvana come between them, thus receiving a grave injury.
The orc was quickly slain and they rushed into the safety of their realm. Thranduil, who had been told of the event, rushed to his family. By the time he arrived at the gate and held Sylvana, she had enough time to tell Thranduil and Legolas how she loved them and wished them well. Her eyes closed and body went limp as her soul entered the hall of Mandos.
Now three years later, orcs were once again roaming the forest. Thranduil decided to push back the orcs that were massing nearby his realm. He succeeded in restoring the safety of his borders if only for a time. As he and his army were returning home he stumbled upon a female elf child, hidden safely by a tree that protected her. The child was in a state of shock. Blood had been splattered upon her body. She was taken in and cared for.
Dínenloth, which means Silent Flower, is what the child was later named by Thranduil. Since the day she was found, she had no memory of the past or who she was, only the present was clear. She lived contently in Greenwood or as some would later call it, Mirkwood. Dinenloth was never allowed outside the walls for fear of being injured. In later years she would be told she was found hurt and lost in the forest. This was why she was never to be let out beyond the walls.
Her tale begins few days after she had been brought into Greenwood and cared for in the healing ward.
