Legolas' Sweetheart

Chapter 1

Lindariel POV

"Please, milady" said Lindariel (Leen-dar-ee-ell). "Must I entertain our guests as well?"

"Yes you must" said Galadriel. "This family as traveled a long way to meet you. They will be offended if you aren't there."

"I'm sorry milady for asking such a foolish question its just, well..."

"I understand." Galadriel said sweetly. She bent down and looked at the young elleth before her. "Avo'osto." (Fear not.)

Lindariel nodded and said, "Hain รบ-'rogon." (I do not fear them.) Galadriel turned away knowing the uncertainty in her voice and started walking to the entrance of Lothlorien with her golden hair trailing behind her.

I wonder if I'll ever look that radiant when I become queen? Galadriel was her aunt and about two months ago her mother died. Gracious was Galadriel to bring her into her home and even make her heir to her thrown!

"Are you coming?" asked Galadriel.

"Of course milady." Not quite sure of what was going on followed.'

Legolas POV

"Mother," whined Legolas.

"What." Said the Queen, highly distraught from her son's whining.

"Why do I have to go this elleth's welcoming?"

"Because we were invited, your father and I, and so were you."

Legolas turned away. Why was he invited and not his older brother Suiadan (Soo-ee-ah-dahn)? He looked at the entrance of Lothlorien. The intricate carving on it was beautiful white leaves that were entwined together to make the gate.

He looked at his father, King Thranduil and his mother Queen Estelwen(Ehs-tell-wehn). For being thousands of years old, they still looked young. The only thing that showed their age was the look in there eyes.

Legolas turned his head and saw the gates opening. Out came Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel, but curiously, he saw an elleth appeared that she was around his age. She had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a light blue dress. She looked nervous.

Who was this? He thought. Then he realized why he was here. They're going to set up a marriage for me. Now, he was angry he always thought considering he wasn't taking the thrown he was able to do what ever he wanted. But now that he thought of this idea it made perfect sense. If he married her there would be peace between Mirkwood and Lothlorien forever. Another thing is that he would be Lord of Lorthlorien and his parents would have raised two rulers. This made him sick just thinking about it.

She didn't even glance at him but looked at Galadriel the whole time. She was pretty, yes. But she was looked nervous and an elf should never look what he or she is thinking. Her posture was crooked. Her face looked bony and her hair was stringing and not flowing. Women in Mirkwood would make a far better wife than she would ever be for him. Who ever she was he didn't care and that was final.

Lindariel POV

"Welcome to Lothlorien." Said Galadriel.

"Were so glad be here." Said Estelwen. "This place," she said in aw, "its so beautiful. Just how I remembered it."

"Thank you. I would like you to meet my niece, Lindariel Elarinya (Ell-are-in-ya) Whitefeather."

Lindariel stepped out of her place.

"Its an honor to meet you King Thranduil, Queen Estelwen." Then she bowed and stood up.

"What a delightful child." Said King Thranduil. "Lord Elrond, Lady Galadriel you remember Legolas, our son?"

"Of course." Said Celeborn. "My, you've grown."

"Thank you" Said Legolas

"Lindariel, I would like you to meet my son, Legolas." Said Estelwen sweetly.

Lindariel walked over and did a sweeping bow. "Its a pleasure to meet you Legolas."

"And you." Said Legolas.

"Well" said Celeborn "now that were all acquainted how about we show you to your rooms, you must be awfully tired."

"Yes you are correct please show us." Said King Thranduil in his low voice.

They all left leaving Lindariel where she stood. This Legolas I do not like. She thought. She knew to what was going on it was written all over their faces. They wanted Legolas and her to fall in love and wed, probably in about ten years or so. Well that wasn't going to happen. What she wanted was to fall in love with somebody in Lothlorien not from Mirkwood. I bet cousin Arwen wouldn't stand for this.

Then she walked away planning to tell Arwen everything and ask her what to do. "Rhachon le Legolas." (I curse you Legolas) she muttered to herself then she walked away.
