Kaeàna walked down the road, she led her large horse down the crowded streets.

Her sharp ears picked up the sound of a child protesting and screaming. It wasn't your normal temper tantrum scream either.

She saw a man dressed in all black lift the small elf child on his horse and take off.

She jumped on the back of her draft horse. She spurred him into action.

People jumped out of the way of his thundering hooves. She kept an eye on the man, his horse was fast. They soon escaped the market place. The road led into the woods.

This was really not how her day was supposed to go, Kaeàna thought.

She pulled an arrow from her sheath and got her bow ready.

She stood up in her stirrups, and fired an arrow into the child's captor's shoulder.

She heard him cry out and say him fall off his horse. His horse came to an immediate stop. The elf child was still on his horse.

She pulled her horse to a halt and dismounted. The man lay writhing in agony. Kaeàna let a frown of disgust cross her features. She kicked the man in the stomach, as she walked to retrieve the child.

She swiftly pulled the crying boy off the horse.

" Calm little one. I mean you no harm." The little boy sat on her hip.

He rubbed his eyes.

" Thank you," he mumbled hugging her tightly.

" What is your name, sweet child?"

" Legolas."

" Well little Legolas, let's get you home safe. My name is Kaeàna, but you can call me Ka."

The little boy nodded. She set him on her horse.

" Stay still, I have a bad man to take care of."

Her soft demeanor changed as she lifted the man up from the ground by his hair.

With a swift blow to the head he was unconscious. She draped him over his horse before binding his hands.

She grabbed the horse's reins and tied then to her horse's saddle.

She mounted her horse and Legolas sat in front of her.

" Ka?"

" Yes?"

" Why did you save me?"

" Because you are an innocent child, it was the right thing to do."

She patted the child's shoulder.

"Thank you."

She smiled down at the little one.

" Any day,"
