This story is about Legolas, Haldir, and Larien Saralonde. Her choices, and how with the fall of one love the other is rekindled.
This is my first FF. I own nothing except Larien Saralonde.
Chapter 1: Tragedy and a New Friend.
"Haldir," Larien spoke in a quiet whisper. There was a catch in her voice. She almost bolted when he turned around.
"Yes, Larien?" She could feel his blue eyes staring through her. He looked at her for a little longer and frowned, "Larien. What is wrong. It is not like you to be so sad. Not since before the fall of Sauron.
"A messenger from Rivendale has come. He bore a letter for me, from Lord Elrond," She sniffed then and Haldir suddenly felt uncomfortable, "My parents were lost in the last battle. They have just finished cleaning and clearing the bodies. It was one of our own who found them," She turned from him. Her shoulders shaking.
Haldir pulled Larien to him, "My sweet. I am sorry for your parents. I will ask Lord Celeborn if we," He stopped when Larien turned. Her hand against his chest, "No. I am to go to Rivendale. Become one of Celebrian's ladies. Can you imagine me in a dress?"
"Not since you were little, and I do mean little," Haldir smiled and took Larien's hand, "We are bound to one another my love. Nothing will change that. You are my one. My only."
Larien burst into tears and turned from him. She ran for the trees and climbed up into them. Never looking back to see if he had followed.
She ended up, many hours later, back in her dwelling. She hastily grabbed the few things she would need in Rivendale. Larien new that Celebrian and Elrond would forbid her boyish ways and demand the lessons of a true female. As she walked past Haldir's own dwelling she could here hushed arguing. When she peaked into the window she Saw Rumil, Orophin, Haldir, and Celeborn. Haldir's face was red with anger and his brother's were trying to calm him. Celeborn was shaking his head. Larien did not wish to see anymore. To much anger was already about. She lay her quiver and bow by his door knocked and then disappeared. She headed towards Rivendale at a quick and steady pace.
Celeborn knocked over the bow as he stepped outside the door. He picked it up from the flet and handed it to Haldir, "Really Haldir it is not like you to be so careless with your things."
Haldir took the bow from Celeborn and looked at it, a frown creased his rugged features as he turned to his brothers, "Rumil! Orophin! She has gone into the wilds without a weapon and no escort. My lady seeks danger, I fear it will find her."

"Father I want to go to Rivendale. I would like to lay eyes on Lord Elrond's twins," Legolas said as he helped his father pack his saddle. He put a hand on the boys shoulder, "Legolas my son if your mother allows it you shall go forth and meet Elladan and Elrohir." Legolas mounted the horse the men brought to him. Let us see the dark-haired ones they are singing about today.

"Larien. Wear a nice dress today, dear. The King of Mirkwood and his son are coming to meet Elladan and Elrohir. They will be here this evening," Celebrian stood in Larien's room. Elladan asleep in her arms. Elrohir eying Larien from his sling on Celebrian's back. Lady Celebrian left as gracefully as she had entered. Larien tossed herself onto her bed and pouted. She did not want to meet a king or his probably spoiled son. She was tired of being a babysitter for the twins. She had been in Lord Elrond's care for 110 years. As fast as it went, she was suffering a broken heart and that could make time stand still.
As night fell the bells chimed announcing the arrival of King Thranduil and his son Legolas. The dinner party was ready to begin. Larien was tired, she wished to see Haldir. She slipped out of the blue gown and back into her breeches and shirt. She buckled her leather vest over it and slipped out of her window and onto the trail that led to the stables.
She bumped into a blonde, male elf. He looked about her age. Maybe younger. As she collected her wits he wiped himself off, "Excuse me. My horse needs tended to. I am with King Thranduil's party."
Larien stared after him. He walked up into Lord Elrond's main house. Larien went into the stable and found her horse. She didn't bother to saddle the horse, she climbed up onto it's back and headed out of the stable. She headed towards Lorien. She had not heard from Haldir in almost two years. Fear was driving her towards Lorien.
*****************
"Legolas my son why are you so dirty," Thranduil asked his son as he approached the table. LEgolas looked down at the dirt.
"One of the stable keepers wasn't watching where she was going and ran me down. She seemed like the NAzgul were on her trail.."
"Excuse me Prince LEgolas but did you say a female stable keeper," Celebrian asked as Elrond shot upstairs.
Legolas turned, "Yes my lady, it was a girl. She had dark Auburn hair."
Elrond returned just as Celebrian was standing up. Elrond took his wife in his hands, "She is in great danger. She is not allowed to set foot in Lorien until it is time for the boys to stay with their grandmother for their lessons. That is still a long time away."
Celebrian turned to Legolas, "I know of your speed and skill Legolas. Take the white horse in the stable and head toward Lorien. I hope that you will not be to late."
As the sun reached it's highest peak in the sky Larien burst into the forest of Lothlorien. She heard the shout of, "Daro!" Yet she did not bother to stop. It wasn't until she heard the whistle of the arrow that she tried to stop the horse, her reflexes a bit to slow.
