She was strange. To behold, to smell, to feel. She was beautiful; golden skin, ebony hair. She smelled of the sky. Her skin was golden, warm to the touch. Her eyes were golden, a dangerous light shining within them.
All of this Legolas thought as he we walked behind her, an arrow notched in his bow as he watched the woman closely. He kept the tip of his arrow at her back guiding her forward, her eyes covered. Why she was with dwarves he did not know; she was no dwarf, she was almost as tall as him. He would take her to his father and then return with the others for the rest of her company.
She walked blindly, feeling the sharp point of the elf's arrow digging into her back. She knew the moment she let Gandalf talk her into accompanying him that trouble would find her; to think she had kept herself so hidden.
She grit her teeth when the elf pushed the arrow further into her back. She wanted to hurt him – wanted to turn around and rip his throat out with her teeth. But she kept herself, remembering Gandalf's words. Thorin must not discover what you are. All would mean you dead, but Thorin the most.
Gandalf had not told her why he wished for her to join him, though she had an inkling it had been her knowing Beorn. But that did nothing for her now; Gandalf was gone, the dwarves now somewhere lost in Mirkwood, and an elf pushing her blindly forward.
She could feel the change beneath her feet, knowing they were now not merely walking on the forest floor. Her head was forced back when the blindfold was torn from her head, pulling many strands out. The elf that had captured her spoke quickly before leaving, and she was left alone staring at the king of Mirkwood.
So this is an introduction to how my character first met Legolas in the story A Dark and Terrible Beauty. So if you haven't read that story then that's good because I'm re-writing it. Also, what she is will be explained later and I hope to keep her as far from Mary-Sue as possible. So please tell me if she's becoming a sue so I can change it.
Please leave a review and tell me if you're interested.
