Young Princess Nele and Prince Legolas; What Will Become?

Times pass by with pain and hurt, but also love and care. That's what my mom always said when I was a little girl. I never really noticed that I did until one day I met him. His name was Legolas; he had long flowing blond hair that hit to the middle of his back. His blue eyes were so piercing that I thought he could see right thru me to my soul. My name is Nele I am the sister to Arwen.

My story begins right after the marriage of my sister Arwen and my new brother-in-law Aragon's wedding. My father and I moved with the other elves across the sea along with the Mirkwood elves. We had been on the ship for five days when Legolas came and set next to me and started the first conversation.

"Nele, May I ask you a question?" he asked me as he set down.

"You may, your highness," I replied.

"Do you miss your home and sister now that you have left them behind?"

I looked at him a little unsettled by the question.

"I do miss them yes, but I also know that were we are going is better for us. Also I know that my sister and Aragon are very much happy and I love them so much I wouldn't what to change their happiness." I told him looking down at my hands. More so at the ring Arwen had given me that had once been our mothers.

"That is how I feel, but I do miss my home but I guess I am home with my family around me," he said looking down at his hands.

We set there for a long time as the silence grew. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, but it got me to thinking about Arwen and Aragon. I do hope I would have the kind of love in my future yet to come. I looked over at him and noticed he was playing with an object. I wouldn't dare ask him what it is; a Lady of the house of Rivendell shouldn't be nosey.

"Nele, when we arrive would you like to ride with me?" He suddenly asked me startling me from my concentration.

"I would be honored to ride with you Legolas," I replied.

He then got up to go walk. I stayed in my seat kind of shocked by the question. Did he really ask me to ride with him to our new land? I smiled at the thought of the ride to our new land.

My father Elrond called me over to speak with him. I was hesitant to do so since I still had the heat in my cheeks thinking about riding with the young prince. Even though I got up and did as told wondering what my father could want to talk about. I thought about the way he had said my name without the princess in front of it like we were old friends.
