Chapter 1: The Beginning

Long, long ago, in a place called Mirkwood, there lived the Elves of the land, although elves are not far from the mortal world, mortals believe them through dreams and myths. Elves are very beautiful and perfect creatures. They are swift when they attack other creatures that want to attack them, especially trolls and orcs. It was very easy to distinguish elves from other creatures because of their long, golden hair, fair skin, color of the eyes that have never seen before, and the calm and soft voice like water flowing in the river.

One fine day, three elves were practicing their magic in a meadow full of flowers and butterflies.

"ARGH! Why can't I get this trick?!" Iara shouted.

"Don't worry Iara, you'll get it soon." Lilibeth said.

"How?? I've been practicing all day and still, nothing is happening."

"Cheer up! You'll get it soon." Galadrian said.

"Why don't we take a break? I'm tired." Iara said.

"Do you want to play with the unicorns?" Lilibeth asked.

"We can't do that. You know that Unicorns are far from here." Galadrian said.

"You're right."

While the elves were talking to each other, a hunter was walking within the woods to catch a prey. This hunter has dark, short hair, with deep, blue eyes. He has a strong build and a scarred face due to some fight in the village. While he was walking, he heard the elves laughing in the meadow. He peeked through the trees to see clearly who it was. When he saw the elves, he was enlightened by their beauty. They had long, golden hair and fair skin, but one of them seemed different. She had fair skin, and deep brown eyes, but her hair was chocolate brown. Just then, a group of co- hunters saw them as well. They intended to capture them but they made a noise which made them disappear into thin air… except for Iara.

"Hey, wait for me!" Iara said. "You know I couldn't do such a spell!"

She tried to make a spell to make her disappear, but it didn't work. She had no choice but to run. She ran as fast as she could so that the hunters wont catch her. The hunters aimed at Iara with their arrows.

"What shall I do?! Damn this spell!" Iara said to herself.

When the arrow was about to hit her, a heavy object made her fall to the ground. It was the scarred hunter who tried to save her from his co- hunters. Iara was frightened to see a mortal beside her and said…

"Who are you?? What do you want?"

"You are weird for an elf. You ask questions in the middle of a chase." He replied.

"I beg your pardon, but I have the right to know who you are."

"I'll tell you later. For now, you must run."

Iara ran but stopped to see if her savior was alright. She then ran back to Mirkwood and sat down, catching her breath.

"Iara!"

Iara heard a familiar voice. She turned around and found her three friends running towards her.

"Iara! Where have you been? I thought you were with us when we disappeared." Galadrian said.

"Now you're telling me that I'm with you when you disappeared in front of me? You know I can't disappear like that!"

"We're sorry. We panicked when we saw the hunters." Lilibeth said.

"That's alright. I know how you feel. I'm sure glad you're alright."

"Legolas made another lecturing. He was shouting at our faces a while ago." Galadrian said.

"Well, for your information, you two made me worry about Iara." Legolas explained.

"How did you escape?" Lilibeth asked.

"I ran."

There was a short silence, then everybody laughed.

"You should've seen my face back there. I was so scared!" Iara said while laughing.

"I didn't see the faces of the mortals. Did you, Iara?" Lilibeth asked.

"Yes, of course. Who would forget the hunter with a bow and arrow who tried to kill you?"

"I bet he was a fat man who has long, hairy beard and a bushy hair." Galadrian acted like one.

Everybody laughed at Galadrian. The next day, Iara was thinking about the hunter who saved her from the mortals. She was watching the birds fly away from the meadow where they were yesterday.

"Hey Iara, are you alright?" Lilibeth asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Iara said. "Listen, the hunters yesterday were aiming their arrows at me. They intended to kill me. Why is that? Why do they want to kill us elves?"

"Iara, actually, mortals don't believe in us elves. They think we are just myths. I guess when they saw us, they tried to capture us to let the others know we exist." Galadrian said.

"But, we do exist. I'm alive. You're alive, and so as the others. Why can't mortals and elves live together?" "I don't know how to say this but, some say mortals are evil. They crave for us, magical creatures." Lilibeth said.

"I don't believe you. When I was trying to get away, a man saved me from the arrows. He then let me run from the other mortals. I'm confused, Lilibeth, Galadrian. Somehow, I feel that I'm one of them."

Lilibeth and Galadrian didn't say anything. Iara stood up and went out of the house.

"Wait Iara! Where are you going?" Galadrian asked.

"I'm going to find that man. I have to thank him."

"It's too dangerous! Iara!" Lilibeth shouted after her.

Iara didn't listen to her friends. Somehow, she was thinking that some elves were wrong about human beings. Somehow she was thinking that she belongs with mortals, although she's already a hundred years old. She went to the woods to see if she could find the man that she was looking for. Fortunately, for her, she found him at the meadow where they were yesterday. He was brushing his horse's long, black, shiny mane. She walked slowly and lightly so that she won't scare him. She spoke slowly and calmly…

"Pardon me, young mortal…"

"It's you! It's a good thing you got away. Sorry about those guys. They were just trying to catch you because they have never seen anything like you."

"Why did you save me?" "I don't know. I just can't stand a man hurting a woman."

"Aren't you afraid that I might cast a spell on you or something?"

"Why should I be afraid? You can't make yourself disappear like the others. I guess your magic is useless." "Excuse me, but what exactly are you implying?!"

"Don't be short tempered, my little elf. You could lose your charm easily that way."

"My… my little… my little elf?!" Iara said. "You, my friend, has got to learn some manners!"

"I'm sorry if I haven't told you my name. My name is Hisashi… Hisashi Mitsui. What is yours?"

"My name?" "Yes, your name. You have a name, right?"

"Yes. My name is Iara."

"Iara… what a pretty name."

"This is a lovely horse. Does he have a name?"

"Yes. His name is Shadow."

"Shadow?"

"What? You don't like it?"

"No… that's not it. It's just that… why Shadow?"

"His hair has the same color of a shadow. He's always there wherever I am, just like my shadow!"

"I see."

Iara was amazed by Mitsui's stories about the mortals, as a matter of fact, Iara knew nothing about mortals. She only knew that mortals were evil and few were good. Iara erased that knowledge in her mind and started to have an interest for humans. Everyday, she goes to the meadow and meets up with Mitsui and takes him in some places which Mitsui have never seen before. She had never felt this much happiness with others. One day, Lilibeth approached Iara and said…

"Iara! Where have you been?"

"I went to see Mitsui. You know, the man who saved me."

"Iara, don't you know that it is too dangerous to walk in the woods at this time of the year?"

"No, I don't. Why is that?"

"Trolls and orcs were seen recently in the woods. This is the hundredth year for the trolls."

"What do you mean hundredth year? I don't understand."

"Every one hundredth year, trolls from the mines com here in Mirkwood to get one elf to have it sacrificed to the Dark Lord."

"But, why us?"

"They say that elves are perfect creatures and even only one elf can satisfy the Dark Lord for a hundred years."

"But… what is he going to do with the elf?"

"No one knows. But for now, you must not see him because it is too dangerous for you."

"Lilibeth is right, Iara. Legolas is worried about you as well. You will stop seeing this man until the trouble is over." Galadrian said.

"Alright. But I must say this to him first. He might wait for me all day." "Okay. But be careful!"

Iara went to the meadow and found Mitsui sleeping on the ground. Iara approached the scarred boy and tried to wake him up. Mitsui woke up and saw the brown-haired elf beside him. He stood up and asked…

"Why are you still here? I thought you went to your lair a while ago."

"I came back to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Legolas was searching the woods for some strange motions. Then he saw the meadow where Iara and Mitsui were. He watched Iara as she told Mitsui what was going to happen this year.

"I'm not going to see you again?" Mitsui asked in disappointment.

"I'm sorry but, I didn't know about this either."

"I understand. But please promise me that when this trouble is over, let me see you again." Then Mitsui touched the elf's face.

"I will. I promise."

The mortal bent over and touched the elf's lips with his. Legolas was shocked when he saw this. He couldn't bare the disappointment that his friend, and elf, fell in love with a mortal. He went away from where he was and went back to the lair and approached Lilibeth and Galadrian.

"You two, why is Iara in the meadow??"

"Iara?? In the meadow?? I-I don't know." Galadrian said nervously.

Legolas turned to Lilibeth.

"D-don't look at me!"

"Liar! Why didn't you tell me that she was seeing a mortal?!"

"A… a mortal??"

"We don't know what you're talking about, Legolas." Galadrian said.

Legolas stared at the two frightened elves. Then they gave in…

"Alright… I'll tell you everything." Galadrian confessed.

"Galadrian…" Lilibeth said worriedly.

Galadrian explained everything to Legolas what had happened after the incident between the hunters and Iara. Legolas couldn't believe a thing Galadrian said, but as long as he saw what had happened earlier, Legolas believed Galadrian.

"Galadrian, why didn't you stop her?" Legolas asked.

"How? She has her heart and mind set to see that man."

"Old timers will be furious about this."

"Wait… I thought when an elf is in love with a human, he or she could choose between mortality and immortality." Lilibeth said.

"You know the old timers… they do not believe in human beings." Legolas said.

"They think that they are evil and full of temptations." Galadrian said.

Then a loud sound was heard. The birds from the woods fled from the trees near Mirkwood. The birds were so many that it covered the sky and little light passed through.

"I must go. My friends need me." Iara said.

"Be careful."

"I will."

Iara ran towards the lair. She saw a lot of orcs and trolls in the lair trying to get at least one elf. She made a sword using her magic and tried to fight the orcs that were on her way. She couldn't find Lilibeth and Galadrian. While she was searching for them, an orc was at her back. She didn't notice it until an arrow struck the monster dead. She traced where the arrow came from and saw Legolas in her direction.

"Legolas!" Iara said happily. "Thank you."

Legolas didn't say anything. He just started to fight the trolls. Iara was confused.

"What happened to him?"

Then she saw a little elf crying beside a tree. A troll was near her and tried to catch her. Iara ran to the girl like a deer and saved her from the big hands of the troll. She ran for both of their lives but unfortunately, she was caught.

"Let me go you ugly faced baboon!!" Iara shouted.

"You're a very direct kind of elf, aren't you?"

"Well, excuse me for being one."

Iara saw Legolas and shouted…

"Legolas!"

Legolas heard her voice and tried to find her on the ground.

"Not down there! I'm up here!"

Legolas raised his head and saw Iara in the hands of a troll who looked like a baboon. Legolas tried to fire an arrow but Iara stopped him.

"Legolas! Don't shoot! The child will fall!"

"What shall I do then??"

"Catch her!"

Iara let go of the child and was caught by Legolas. Then the trolls said…

"I have one! Let's go!"

"NOOO! WAIT!!" Legolas shouted.

Legolas, Lilibeth and Galadrian ran after the trolls but they were stopped by the other elves.

"Let us go! I command you! My friend is there with them!" Legolas said.

"I'm sorry my prince, but that is unnecessary."

"Why is that??" Lilibeth asked.

"It's too dangerous for three small elves to battle trolls. You might die or even sacrificed with your friend."

"I don't care!!! Do you think it is right for the trolls to get one of us for a useless sacrifice?!? You must be joking for crying out loud! You don't understand the feeling of being captured by trolls who look like baboons and bring you to a place where nobody can hear your voice shouting for help! And you call yourselves elves. You don't even care for any of us!" Legolas said hastily.

"Your majesty, it is our duty to protect you, and to protect we shall."

"But what about the people?? The other elves need more protection than I do, do you understand??"

"My prince, that elf is just one elf. It happens every hundred years."

"That elf is not just an elf lieutenant. That's Iara." Legolas said.

The lieutenant didn't say anything. He has no choice but to let go of the prince and his two friends. While they were walking through the woods, Lilibeth said…

"I must tell him about this."

"Who's 'him??'"

"You know…"

"Are you out of your mind, Lilibeth??"

"I don't know. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have a feeling he could help us."

"Who is that you're talking about?"

"Umm… you see… Legolas…"

"Is it that man whom Iara was with?"

"Yes…"

"If you know that he could be of help, he can go with us. But if he's just a cause of trouble, I don't buy him." Legolas said.

A/N: I'm sorry if that's the end of chapter 1… ^_^ Go on with the next chapter to find out what happens…
