Well, I made it to the second chapter!!!(pats self on the
back)in the same day!! I'm on a roll!! I'm still on track!!
Wahahaha!! Yes, I know I sound insane but..Bwahahaha!!! Anyways,
I wanna see how far I can take this story along. maybe as far as
I can make elven speech.maybe as far as the reviews come in(hint
hint)
To Erika: Thank you sooooo much!!! You are great!! I LOVE YOU!!!! I hope (for your sake) I finish this.
Emerald queen: Actually, I think I forgot that detail! Thanks for reminding me. You see, they are from Lorien (or Lothorien, can someone set me straight here?) and so, they tend to go back to the forest of the Lady often. And before that, I guess Legolas also goes out on important errands for his father sometimes. But basically, Ellisya's like me. I mean, I can walk past anybody and not notice them if my face is buried in a book!! Lol. This might not be satisfying nut it's the best I can do.
Lolli: A great big thank you to you too!!! You love details, don't you?? I try my best. And about the Elvish, sorry if it's confusing but.damn, I really like that language!! Don't worry, I'll die out when I run out of ideas. And besides, I placed a leetle translation at the bottom of the chapter. Sorry if it's a bit complicated.
I found some of my Elven interpretations have been joined together and I'm sooooo sorry for the glitch..(on my knees) I swear I'll never do it again.
Here's where I throw in my first twist! Hope you reviewers like it. If you don't.(cracks knuckles menacingly)
I don't own anybody except Ellisya, Ellesildar and Lorendallion(for the meantime) plus all the Elven speech. But I wanna buy them off whoever owns them!!
I just found out ff.net doesn't do italics. Grrrr.( again cracks muscles menacingly before noticing the representative of the site looking at me) I don't mean it!! I swear.
If I'm on anybody's favorite list, let me know. I still don't know how to operate my page yet.
I Don't think my paragraphs are out. Damn!!
PLEEEEEAAASSSEEE R/R!! I really need the encouragement to make it through the next chapter.
2.A Shot in the Dark
Legolas Greenleaf walked down the corridor of his castle. He would have ran, but it did not befit one of his rank. He had heard news that Aragorn, son of Arathorn had arrived. It had been three years since they had joined in the Fellowship of the Ring and within this space of time he hadn't seen any of the fellowship save Gimli who frequented to the castle at Mirkwood.
"Wait for me, Legolas!" A Dwarf scrambled around the corner. He muttered something unintelligible. Legolas laughed and waited for his short friend to catch up with him.
"Gimli, can you not hasten any faster? Aragorn is waiting."
Gimli puffed out. "Dwarves were made to wield great strength not to run races with long-legged Elves!" Legolas laughed again.
"Indeed, I have seen no other Dwarf who runs as fast as you. But let us fly, for as I said, the King of Men is waiting."
"Be he the King of the Gods I still will not run any faster," retorted Gimli. Still, he did get along a little faster but was soon left behind by Legolas. In his eagerness, Legolas had completely forgotten all Elven etiquette and had raced to the throne room. Upon reaching there, he burst in, only regaining his composure after he had skidded down the carpet to where King Thranduil and a smiling Man waited.
"Aragorn! Truly it has been long since I last saw you!!" Then remembering his father's teachings, he said, "I welcome to the Forest of Mirkwood, my friend."
King Thranduil chuckled. "Well met, son. Your enthusiasm makes up for your lack of manners. Truly I have never seen you quite this excited before."
"Well met, Legolas," Aragorn replied with a smile. "I haven't seen you for years. But tell me now, where is Master Dwarf? I should like to meet him again."
"Master Dwarf is at the door and would like to remain there, thank you," a gruff voice was heard. Legolas and Aragorn turned to see Gimli leaning, panting on the door. " Master Elf," he continued, "you have broken your promise about waiting for me. Surely your eagerness to meet Aragorn is not as much as that, is it?"
"Ah, but Gimli," Legolas addressed his friend, " It has been a long time since I last saw Aragorn. Surely you of all people understand."
"Ah that is true. Aragorn, you rascal, have you no words for your old friend? I must have ran a thousand leagues to get here for my legs haven't felt this tired since we went on the Quest."
"Ah, Gimli, but you wouldn't let me get a word between your reproachful rant," Aragorn smiling yet again. "Well met, I say."
"And what of Arwen and Faramir and Eowyn?" Legolas inquired.
"Both are sound beneath the walls of Gondor. Arwen was disappointed she couldn't come but she sends her love. How of the hobbits?"
"They promised to come along with Gandalf in a few days." Legolas paused. "In a few days, the day the fellowship set out will have dawned."
"Ay, how time flies. But still, I will hie me down to the hall to grab a bite or two. I'll leave you two to reminisce the days of the past. Good day." And with that, Gimli was off.
"Come, let me take you to the training grounds and there we shall talk," Legolas offered. Aragorn agreed and in silence they made their way to the fields, enjoying each others company. So intent of making the most of their time together that their caution was thrown to the wind. However, as they reached the training ground Legolas stared at the targets.
" Surely someone must have been here earlier for there are arrows in the targets."
Aragorn caught Legolas' hand.
"Legolas, there is something in hiding behind those trees or my eyes deceive me. Pray, look upon those bushes, your eyes being sharper than mine.' Legolas switched his stare from the targets to the trees, straining his eyes.
"Indeed, your eyes do not fail you. There is something gleaming in yonder bush."
"Take out your bow and arrows and aim at it. Perhaps it is an animal. Should it be as I predicted, it will run and we shall have a merry laugh about worrying about nothing."
"No game is allowed in the castle but yet what you say is wise." Legolas drew an arrow and aimed at the bush. But before he let it fly, an Elf emerged from behind a tree.
"You may put down that arrow now," he said. Legolas studied the elf. It surprised him that the elf had dark hair as most of the Mirkwood Elves were fair. This Elf was either from Rivendell or Lorien.
"What are you doing here? This place is not for those of second birth," he said. Aragorn looked at is comrade. The laughing face of minutes ago had closed up as Legolas assumed a blank look.
"Of second birth you say? Nay, I am of the Lorien, the woods of the Lady." The youth sneered. Legolas seethed at his impudence. Hardly anybody talked to him like that. Usually, they just bowed and scuttle away. He kept his face expressionless.
"There is someone there with you." That was a statement and not a question. Ellesildar almost winced. He had hoped that they hadn't caught sight of Ellisya. He had to make sure she got away.
"No, there is no one there."
"Gei weht." Ellesildar knew now that Ellisya was as good as caught. In his desperation, he tried to hurl himself upon Legolas.
"Ceis, lerathari!"
Legolas let loose an arrow just as another one flew out of the bushes. Legolas jumped out of the way as the arrow narrowly missed his arm. Then, Ellesildar was on him. They rolled over several times before freeing themselves. A cry was heard in the bush but nobody except Aragorn heard the cry. Ellesildar and Legolas circled each other. On each face was etched hatred.
" Alanor kash istar alemar," hissed Ellesildar to Legolas. Legolas snarled, completely forgetting that Aragorn was there. Aragorn ran to the bush, fearing whoever who was there would be dead already. As far as he knew, Legolas' arrows never missed their mark.
" Naentath reh dil sur inguil mear!" Legolas whispered harshly. Ellesildar snarled. He hoped Ellisya had managed to get away. As far as he knew, Prince Legolas had never been this mad before. On the other hand, he had never seen Prince Legolas mad before.
Aragorn reached the bush and roughly pushed back branches to see what they concealed. When he saw, his eyes widened in horror and he let out a gasp of shock.
Ellesildar and Legolas were not faring any better. Already, Legolas was drawing his long sword given by Galadriel that he always kept by his side. Aragorn quickly gathered the Elf in his arms and was running towards the other two.
"Ei len chas feo se las ver," Ellesildar sneered. Legolas cried out and descended on his foe.
"Peras!" Aragorn commanded. Both looked at him to see him cradling a wounded and unconscious woman Elf to his chest, blood spurting out from a wound in her side where an arrow jutted out. Ellesildar cried out in horror as he ran to retrieve his sister. Legolas looked shocked. Never in his life had he ever shot a female Elf before. Her delicate features were pale and her hair streamed down. As her lifeblood flowed out of her body, he quickly sized up what to do.
"Aragorn! Take her to the ill room. The healers there might know what to do," he said. Seeing Ellesildar's anger rising, he said, "Our argument must be foreordained. Indeed, I believe you argued with me to distract me so she may run away. What you were doing in my garden is of no matter now. What matters now is that she will live." Ellesildar nodded tightly and crooned to his unconscious sister as they hurried to the castle.
Gei weht-You lie
Ceis, lerathari-Run, little sister
Alanor kash istar alemar- The day was cursed when you were born
Naetath reh dil sur inguil mear-Your mother cried when she knew she bore you
Ei len chas feo se las ver-Only a coward uses a sword Peras-Enough (stop)
