Her hair was a soft dirty blonde color, and her eyes were deep blue. She had grown a lot since Aragorn first met her, even though she was years older than he. He thought of her as a sister, as they had spent much time together with Arwen durring his time in Rivendell. "Anja!" he called out as he and his friend Legolas entered. "Legolas..you must meet Anja, she's a very pleasent elvin maiden...much like Arwen" he told his friend, although he did not mention exactly how much like Arwen she was, that was a secret he was sworn to hold..no matter what. "Aragorn?" Anja turned around and ran to them. "Aragorn it is you!" she smiled and hugged him and Legolas noticed the pointed ears with a smile. "I thought Arwen was going to keep you away forever? Where is she?" she smiled and looked around. "Did she not come with you this time?" "I fear not.." he sighed and smiled at his old friend. "She sent me to collect you...I hear Lord Elrond has permitted you to come visit us for a while...but you were not allowed to travel alone?" "Yes..yes.." she sighed this time and dusted herself off. "Elrond wishes that I have protection...and what better protection that a king and a prince?" she smiled. "Prince Legolas of Mirkwood I presume?" she turned to Legolas eyes gleaming. "Yes..but please..no formalities..." Legolas smiled and tried not to blush. "But you are correct...Aragorn asked me to journey with him...and I couldn't refuse." "Mainly because I gave him no other choice...and I mentioned we would be escorting a beautiful Elf Maiden.." Aragorn smiled and pushed some of Anja's hair out of her face. "Beautiful?" she laughed a little. "Why..Aragorn...I fear you've taking to lieing to your friends...how cruel..unless there is someone else we are going with.." "King Aragorn does not lie.." Legolas said speaking up. "For you are beautiful Lady Anja...what, may I ask...is your full name?"

"Anja the Forestchild.." she smiled. "For I came from the forest..." she took Aragorns arm and led them to Elrond's palace. "You came from the forest?...I'm sorry I do not understand.." Legolas asked again. "I was found as a child..and brought to Lord Elrond...the man only called me Forestchild...it was Elrond that named me..." she looked out and away, Legolas picked up on the disant look in her eyes that she did not want to discuss the matter further...although he would remember to ask Aragorn about her later. "Here we are..." She announced looking up at the beautiful palace a few moments later. "I fear I must be going...I have practice with Mishka my nursemaid..." She let go of Aragorn and led the two up the steps. "Does Lady Mishka still try in vain to make you a proper lady?" Aragorn laughed. Anja sighed and laughed lightly. "Much to my dismay yes...I'm suprised she hasn't tried to go with us yet..." "We haven't left yet.." Legolas announced and laughed lightly as well. "But I fear we can only protect one Lady.." he took Anja's hand and gave it a light kiss. "Especally if she is as active as yourself..." he grined and let her hand go. Anja blushed crimson and turned away. "I will see you both tonight at dinner...Fare thee well until then.." "Fare the well my lady.." the two said in unison. "Her beauty is astounding..." Legolas confessed to Aragorn after she left. "Yes..." Aragorn agreed laughing at his friend. "But there is much more than beauty that comes with her..." He warned.
