Chapter 1: Invitations and Interruptions
"Coming through! Honestly no one could get anywhere fast these days," an elven maiden with a peasant's dress and long dark braided wavy hair said as she carried her basket fileed with berries and a letter in it.
"Alealyan, darling are you in a rush?" a sweet voice asked as the maiden came closer to her.
The maiden paused and looked at the source of the voice. "Sorry m' lady but I just had to hurry to give you this," Alealyan answered as she grabbed the letter that was in her basket. "It's an invitation to the grand ball at the palace m' lady. One of the King's advisors gave one to me."
The lady took the letter and opened it. She read it and began to smile. "Aleayan, dear do you know whose going to this ball?"
"Well I heard that the lords and ladies of all of the other elven kingdoms are coming and that everyone in the kingdom is invited," Alealyan replied quietly. She was quietly hoping that her lady would tell her that she could go to the ball. But it was a long shot since she knew that she was only a servant and servants weren't usually allowed to such occasions.
The lady smiled and turned to go back into her house but instead of going directly in she paused and spoke," will you please inform my daughter, Vyl of the ball and then you have the rest of the afternoon off until supper."
"I will do so m' lady," Aleayan said as she made a slight courtesy and went off to find Vyl as her mother wished.
"Have they arrived yet? I sent scouts out to find them hours ago!" the elven king said as he paced back and forth in his study.
"We have not found them, your majesty but maybe tonight would be best if your sons on another night," Gorfil, the king's advisor, advised him.
"No! I will not let them take the easy way out of this like they have before!" King Thranduil slightly yelled. "And besides my daughter would be devastated if I did not try everything in my power to try to track down her brothers for this special occasion."
Thranduil sighed deeply and fell into his chair. He knew that this would be one long night and so far it wasn't going as planned. Even though the guests were not to arrive until later tonight due to the ball at the end of the week, Thranduil still felt that things was getting out of his control since he could not even be able to find his own sons. He had agreed a month ago that Legolas, his oldest son, take his younger siblings, Thrilmand and Legaldur, on a trip with him but that was a month ago and they still have yet to return.
As the king was still thinking silently to himself the doors of his study flew open and open of his scouts came into the room disturbing his thoughts.
"Sorry, to interrupt you my lords but I believe I have news of the prince, your highness," the scout spoke boldly.
"Yes? Speak!" the king demanded.
"I believe we have spotted your sons in the forests of your land as we came back from our long search of the lands."
"They say that everyone is going to be there!" Jaelyan, one of Alealyan best friends spoke.
"Maybe we can get a glimpse of them as they come through the kingdom!" Niryan gleefully said with a slight twinkle in her eye.
"Yeah right, Niryan like one of the princes of the other kingdoms are going to see you and come to your rescue," Elelith said as he made a girlish gasping voice and twittered his eyes.
"Oh come on El, can't I dream! Besides you never know what can happen. Maybe we could meet a prince that doesn't want to be royalty or.."
".Would date an elven servant!" Alealyan finished as she made a gesture to her friend to say that she was just joking. She knew her friend loved to dream but to dream that an elven prince would fall in love with a peasant like herself was just absurd.
"I heard that even our own prince was going to show up at the ball. You know the one that barely anyone sees because he doesn't like to be around a lot of other elves," Niryan added to get rid of the silence that was beginning to build up.
At the sound of the conversation someone else that the others could not see started to listen in. One of the group became aware of this and started to walk around to see if he could see something or someone.
"Ah yes, our beloved prince, honestly I believe that he won't show up that much in public not because he's shy," Alealyan added as she walked deeper into the forest (she didn't realize that she was getting closer to what was watching them.)
"Oh really? What do you think then?" Elelith asked.
"I believe that he thinks that he's too snobby, stuck up and thinks of himself of being too powerful to talk to people on the likes of us," Alealyan finished. "That's what I think, 'onestly."
"Alealyan, I think you should watch what you say sometimes. I mean especially about the royal family," Niryan insisted as Elelith was laughing his head off at her reply.
While the trio was because talking and making fun of each other, they did not realize that two guards of the royal house entered the forest and started walking in their direction.
"I agree with her," a male elven voice said suddenly out in the wilderness.
"Who said that?" Alealyan answered slightly terrified.
"I did." As that was said a lean tall elven male began to walk closer to them.
All three of them were so startled to see him that all they could do was stare.
"What did you say you agree with again?" Niryan asked in small voice, her eyes still unable to move away from the tall handsome looking elf standing in front of them.
"I agree that you should be careful about talking about the royal family sometimes," He replied.
"Oh really, why should we care what you think?" Alealyan retorted. "And why were you eavesdropping?"
"My lady I was not eavesdropping and in fact I would insist that if you had said what you said even louder than you did that anybody within miles could have heard what you called the prince."
"Why should it be any of your----" she began but stopped when she noticed the guards racing towards them.
As the guards got closer and closer no one talked. It was within seconds that the guards finally reached them and when they did they turned to look at the all of them and rested their eyes on one of them and let out a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, we finally found you!" one of them cried.
Your Highness! Oh my gosh. Oh no I'm dead, he cannot be the prince! I just insulted the prince when he was right there. Alealyan thought to herself as she wished silently that she were back at home. She looked at her two friends and both of them were as thunderstruck at the news than she was. Then she finally got the courage to look at him and to her surprise (and a little bit unnerving) was that he was looking at her.
And even though she could not read the expression on his face, she certainly knew one this: SHE IS GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!!
A/N: Okay how did you like it? Please R/R!!!!!!
