At the second age before the wars started to rage. One king ruled all the elven kingdoms that were in middle earth. He had one daughter, she had long black hair, her name was Silver. No one ever knew why, but as Silver grew older, she was slender and tall even for a elf, she had blue eyes and her hair stayed black. She was a great warrior for a women, she was very skilled with a long sword, yet the kingdom had been over run by Orcs.
Days after the kingdom fell
Legolas had been going to the house of Elrond to check up on some things, also to speak for Mirkwood, about the Kingdom of Senta fell. He was wearing, chain mail chest piece, a dark green shirt under it, grey leggings, brown boots, two brown belts one going over his chest and shoulder and the other one went around his waist, and a grey cloak over it. He was walking down a bank stones went up and down the bank the rapids were father up river. Legolas would have usually been riding a horse but a Orc scared it away. He walked silently, then he stopped he seen some one laying on the bank half way in the water. A dark grey cloak covered the person, Legolas slowly walked over to the person, he slowly lifted the cloak off the person, and then gently flipped her over. It was a women wearing a tattered white and light green dress, a sword was on her hip, a dragger sheathed on it. First Legolas noticed how beautiful the strange women was, but then he noticed her necklace, it had the markings of her kingdom Senta, and also the necklace was only available to royals.
Legolas knew right away she was the Princess. He picked her up carefully her head leaned against his shoulder. He walked into the woods. The light on snow on the Misty Mountains seemed to shimmer and dance. It was about sun set they could see the Misty Mountains but they had to cross the river to get to it. Legolas made a small camp, he had started a small fire. He laid Silver close to the fire. He stood there for a moment watching the light from the fire make shadows on her face, he could even hear her let out a quiet sigh in her sleep. But when he heard a deer he pulled out his bow and started tracking it, he only turned away for a second when...
" Don't move " A fragile voice said, it was Silver.
Legolas slowly turned around to find one of the daggers at his neck. " I am Legolas... " Legolas said in a calm voice but he knew not to underestimate her for many of the tales told that some men that tried to kill her, were killed... By her. The stories also said that she was a great worrier.
" Prince of Mirkwood " Silver said slowly taking the dagger back away from his neck. For she had heard stories about Legolas, for he was a great worrier along side his father. " I'm sorry my actions were rash, I am Princess Silver... " She said bowing slightly but then her hand moved to the cut on her waist she winced slightly.
Legolas stopped her for bowing completely to stop her from hurting her self more. He sat her down by a tree and slowly put some herbs on the cut, and the started to sew the cut with a small bone needle from a deer, and sinew from the muscle that was threading into even smaller strands and it was very smooth. Silver was clutching the shoulder part of his shirt slightly tightly, Legolas knew she was feeling great pain.
" I will try not to inflict pain " He said quietly, as he worked slowly.
" Its ok... Let me guess you are going to Rivendell... " She said quietly, slowly letting go of his shirt. " Take me with you... " She said in a quiet pleading tone.
" No- " She cut Legolas off by getting up, she slipped on her still drying cloak and started to walk off. But then she noticed Legolas took her weapons with out her noticing when he was closing the wound, but of course she had taken one of his daggers and she knew he would follow.
Silver's long hair blew back in the wind, she walked silently until she got to the bank of the river she stood there for a moment looking over at the other bank. " I know your there Legolas. "
" You have know idea how dangerous that was for you to go walking off on your own. " Legolas said in a stern voice walking over to stand next to her.
" The stories you may have heard about me being some kind of fair maiden that needed saving were never true.. From the moment I was first in a battle I am the way I am now " She said and started to walk into the river.
Legolas grabbed the lower part of her arm. " Wait! I'll go " Legolas said in a slightly hurried tone.
Silver smiled at him then back and the river, she threw him his dagger she ran back towards the wood line then back onto the bank doing a swain dive into the water. Legolas blinked at first he still had his stern face but then he smiled at the fact that she was acting like a little kid. Legolas followed, they both started to swim across the river, once they got to the other side. Sliver braided her hair quickly in a long fish tail braid. Legolas stood there silently, he was holding his bow close to his chest, he was watching her out of the corner of his eye.
" We should keep moving, maybe hunt, so you can make your self some new clothes it will take us at least five suns to get us through the mountains. " Legolas said/
Silver nodded and got up that night she walked close to Legolas holding his hand slightly as they walked. Legolas knew it had probably just been so she could feel close to some one, he looked at her as they walked through the thick brush. " Why did you not kill me when you had the chance? " Legolas asked
"I knew you were a elf but I didn't know if I can trust you, I still don't know if I can but there is some thing about you that makes me feel... safe... " Silver said in a hushed whisper.
Legolas blinked he watched her and listened to what she was going to say. By dawn they had been able to kill a two deer. Sliver made her self new clothes a shirt and leggings, she still had her leather boots and the other things she had with her. It was just starting snow, Sliver smiled and they passed most of the day going through a snow storm. Legolas walked in front of her leading the way, nether of them sank into the snow. As it started to darken and the snow storm go worse to the point they even had to make refuge in a nearby cave for the night. Silver started a small five using the wood they had gotten before going into the mountains. Legolas took off his cloak and laid it next to the fire to it would warm up and dry. Sliver did the same with her cloak, but one her cloak was dry she put it back on she leaned back against the stone wall at the back of the cave.
Silver fell asleep but Legolas did not sleep for some reason he stayed awake, but after a moment when he truly needed to sleep he walked toward the fire and the back of the cave he noticed how much Silver was shivering, Legolas sat next to her wrapping on of his arms and part of his cloak around her. Legolas let out a quiet sigh when moved close to him her head leaning against his shoulder.
Some time that night Silver woke up she was still laying against Legolas, the fire was still smoldering ashes, it gave off just enough little for her to be able to get up and walk over to their things. Silver laid Legolas's dagger on his things and she picked up her weapons belt and a few other things, even slipping on some gloves. She walked over to the sound asleep Legolas, she lightly kissed his forehead.
The next morning Legolas awoke, he had a dream Silver had fell in love with him, that they would rule together but Legolas knew better then to believe in dreams. But then Legolas noticed that, Silver was gone, and her things were missing. " Silver " He said getting up grabbing his things and running out of the cave. He ran up the steep cliff and up onto a high point to get a better view.
Legolas could see for miles and he seen her but it looked like she had been attacked by some thing, he seen blood, but she walked miles. He mumbled a quiet word under his breath and started to jump down from the high point and then towards where he had seen her. It took Legolas until it was noon to reach her. She was laying under a pine in a valley when he got to her. " Silver! Are you wounded? What were you thinking?! " Legolas said in a slightly demanding tone.
" I was trying to keep you safe, its best to stay away from me. Now I'm every enemy's target. This isn't mine it warg blood. " Sliver said getting up.
" Hey when ever chose to came with you I knew the dangers- " Legolas started to say but then he was cut off by what happened next.
Sliver walked over to him wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him for a quick moment, but then she pulled away from the kiss, knowing she practically stunned him. " You talk to much. " She said and started to walk off but Legolas grabbed her arm pulling her back to him. Legolas looked down at her, his arms wrapped around her waist.
" I see you have forgotten about when we were younger, both of us just young elflings madly in love but then my father stepped in. " Legolas said looking down at her gazing into her eyes.
Memories started to flood back to her, even remembering the first time they kissed. " Legolas... I had lost my memory when we were acted by Orcs long ago... " She said quietly.
Legolas pulled her into another long passionate kiss, his hands on her lower back. Sliver had her fingers tangled in his long hair. But after a moment they both pulled away and just stood there like that for a moment but for some reason Sliver just pushed him away again all of the days it took to get to Rivendell. Elrond had been glad that Silver was alive.
Legolas had been trying to get closer to her but for some reason she just kept pushing him away, but every now and again they would talk but it was only once with in two days. Legolas was walking down the long hallway he walked over to Elrong hoping he could get answers.
" Lord Elrond, do you know why- " Legolas started to say.
" Why she hasn't been talking to you, she had a arranged marriage with a noble, but she doesn't want to be in the marriage. " Elrond said but then a unknown voice for Legolas rang out.
" Of course she doesn't want to be in the marriage. " A tall slender man said, he had long black hair and pale skin. The grin on his face would give any one the creeps.
" Steff are y- " Sliver said as she walked around the corner.
The man so called Steff motioned her over and wrapped his arm around her. " Love do you still want to be in the marriage? "
Legolas could seen the fear in Slivers eyes as she walked over to him and how she flinched when he wrapped his arm around her. " Unhand her " Legolas said walking over to Steff. Legolas knew he probably beat her, or did some thing to scare her.
