I know right now it is a lot like the book in fact, I am sure you can tell,
the first part is from the book itself, but I assure you that it soon will
stray far from the book heh. Oh and btw, all characters but Ilmaloote are J.R.R. Tolkien's and Ilmaloote
or Starlight Flower, is my own creation, it started as Starlit-Rose and then soon became what is it now as there, as far as I can tell, in no word in Elvish than means Rose. Thanks for reading a please review me!! (This is
my very first Fan-fict so please don't hurt me!!)

The Meeting
Legolas ran over and down the hill to the steam of Nimrodel and stared to wade across, the he said, 'Follow me! The water is not deep. Let us wade across! On the further bank we rest, and the sound of the falling waters may bring us sleep and forget fullness!' Legolas just stood in the middle of the steam for a while, eyes close and head facing toward the night sky and took in the wonderful power of this healing water. As he opened his eyes and looked ahead of him, all the others had already crossed and where sitting on the bank, so he quickly waded over to them and sat with them.
As Legolas sat by the beautiful falls of Nimrodel, he saw Frodo listening intently to the sounds of the falls, as if he could hear a voice singing, mingled with the soft notes of the falls. Legolas asked; 'Do you here the voice of Nimrodel? I will sing you a song of the maiden Nimrodel, who bore the same name as the stream beside which she lived long ago. It is a fair song the our woodland tongue; but this is how it runs in Western Speech, as some in Rivendell now sing it.' In a soft beautiful voice he began to sing, as he was in the mist of singing it, he looked over at the fall, there he thought he saw a beautiful maiden, but he just passed it off as a trick of the water. As he was singing his words halted, 'That is but a portion of the song, but all I can recall.'
He continued, 'It is also said that she had a home built upon the tall trees, like many had on the olden times, and still some today.'
'And even the these later days, it might be thought safer then a sitting on the ground.' Said Gimli.
'Your words bring good counsel, Gimli.' Said Aragorn. 'We cannot build a house, but tonight we shall do as the Galadhrim, and seek refuge in the tree tops, in we can. We have sat here besides the rode already longer then wise.'
They walked in search of a tree that seemed fit, finally then came up to one; it had a large trunk, and big heavy branches. Legolas said, 'I will climb up first! I am at home in trees, though these are strange to me, I will see the shape and build'
Pippin was not very fond of the idea, 'Trees are meant for birds to sleep in, not hobbits!' He thought.
Legolas spring from the ground and caught a branch, just then a voice called from the tree-shadows.
'Daro!' The voice said in a commanding tone and Legolas dropped back to earth in surprise and fear.
Then a laugh came from the tree, and they spoke to Legolas in Elvish. Legolas told them of their journey and everything that had happened and the elves gave them the word that is was ok to for him and Fordo to come up. The elves lowed a ladder and Legolas ran right up, after that was, of coarse, Frodo who was slow to climb up the thin latter. When Frodo was finally up he saw a platform, what the elves called a Talan.
They talked for a while and told them even more of their story and there eight companions, save the dwarf Gimli.
Then one of the elves asked, 'You have told me of seven of your companions, who is the eighth one?'
'A dwarf.' Said Fordo.
The elves were not to happy to hear that, though they seemed to be understanding.
'Well tonight you may stay up in here with us, though in this tree there is only room for the four hobbits, you, Aragorn and the dwarf will have to rest in the next tree.'
Fordo awoke to in the middle of the night and found that a large grope of Orks had pass by, after that he went back to sleep.
In the other tree laid Legolas, he had got a little sleep but not much, even with the warm breeze and soft sound of the falls. As he sat up and wondered if he would ever get any sleep, he heard a voice, no, a song, coming from the falls. His first thought, 'Nimrodel?' The song was so beautiful, so clear, it echoed through the trees and in circled him like a warm blanket.
He could not contain his curiosity; he just had to find where it was coming from! So he climbed down from the tree and started to head over to the fall, then he stopped dead in his tracks.
There he saw a beautiful Elvin maiden, she wore a long baby blue dress, that seemed to sparkle like the water, her hair was dark brown, almost black, and her skin was as what as the snow, and upon he chest lay a beautiful blue and silver necklace. He Slowly walked over to her. As he did she seemed surprised!
He said, 'Hello.'
She just looked at him. Then he thought that perhaps she only spoke Elvish so he said, 'Ya a kalwa lin!' (What a beautiful melody!)
'Hanta lyaa.'(Thank you) she replied. 'Nin esta Ilmaloote' (My name is Ilmaloote)
'Nin esta Legolas Greenleaf.' He smiled, and said in Elvish 'You should be careful tonight, there are Orks about.'
'Yes I know, for I saw them as well.'
'My lady, may I inquire as to what you are doing here on a night as such?'
'I live here, behind the waterfall, please come inside and we can talk there.' With that she turned and vanished behind the waterfall.
Legolas fallowed closely behind her. As he walked behind the waterfall he saw a great door, as he went in he saw a vast room filled with books, maps, and furniture, the room itself was lit with candles, on the floor was a dark red rug, sitting on the rug were two couches, two chairs and a small table, the couches where a dark red, almost black color and the table was a dark golden brown.
Ilmaloote, sat on one the couches, he did the same.
'May I ask what that striking melody was that you were singing?'
'Sitting Quite on a Stone, one of my favorite songs.' She smiled and looked deeply in Legolas' eyes. Her glare was so intense that he could not help but to blush.
'Would you like me to sing it for you?' she asked
'If you would, please.'
She started to sing:
Sitting quite one a stone, Always to be left alone, So far from the normal world, Yet always to have her heart unfurled,
A mountain her heart can move, So he gentleness in able to prove. The song of the forest he heart can sing, Using the soft voice of everything,
So when you hear the song of the raven, The screech of an Owl or a cougar growl, Always remember and never forget, It is the beat of the heart that no one has met,
To the eyes it brings tears, To the heart it mirrors, In the sole it will sore, And go on for evermore.
Her voice was as soft and clear as the waterfall itself. To most anyone else the song would have put them to sleep, but Legolas was so entranced by her voice he could not help but to sit there in awe. 'That was indeed breathtaking!' He said.
'Thank you Legolas'
They sat and talked for a very long while about this and that, they felt as if they knew each other for there whole life though it had only been a few hours.
Out side the sun was just starting to rise and the Fellowship was still sleeping though undoubtedly soon would awake.
Legolas and Ilmaloote where still talking though by this time they where on the same couch, sitting close to one another.
'I had better get back to the Fellowship before they awake.'
'Yes, I know.' Then they leaned over, looked at one another for a moment and kissed very slowly and patiently then they extended their arm and hugged at the same time. The moment broke.
Legolas said, 'Please forgive me my lady I. I umm. was caught up in the moment.'
'You where not the only one kissing you know.' She said with a smile.
They thought that what they where feeling for each other was both strong and odd. for it took Elves a very long time when courting.
Meanwhile, the sun was starting to become strong and warm upon the sleeping faces of the Fellowship. Aragorn was the fist to awake then Gimli. They both noticed right away that Legolas was gone.
'Now were did that elf run off to?' Asked Gimli.
'I do not know Gimli.' Answered Aragorn.
Legolas and Ilmaloote shared one last kiss and the he left.
Out side he met the others and they began their journey to Lothlòrien.
