Steff pulled out a blade swing it around once or twice before slashing at Legolas. Legolas pulled Silver behind him, to made sure she was shielded, Legolas reach back behind him pulling out both of his daggers. He stopped Steffs blade using the daggers, then Legolas slashed at him.
" Stop it both of you! " Silver said raising her voice a little, the beautiful chiming sounded stern yet still slightly quiet.
Silver took a step back pulling Legolas a few steps back with her. But when Steff slashed at Legolas again, Silver grabbed Legolas's broad sword blocking Steffs sword then she swung at his inches away from hitting his stomach. This was her turn to him, yet Elrond stepped in stopping her.
" Silver the council will deal with Steffs actions until then Steff will stay in the dungeons... " Elrond said he slowly took Legolas's sword from her handing it back to Legolas.
Legolas led Silver away from Elrond and Steff into the city part of it. Legolas wasn't mad but slightly shocked, she had shown no emotion while going after Steff, but she was a greater warrior then Legolas was and he knew it she changed so much from when she was younger, she was scared of Orcs, things like spiders even the small ones. He walked into his room and shut the door behind them.
" What? " Silver said quietly, she moved a hair behind her ear and looked down at the floor.
Legolas let out a quiet sigh. " Come with me to Mirkwood... You'll be safe there away from Steff. " Legolas said.
" Legolas... Steff won't stop until I'm his and his alone or when he is dead... The Orc armies will hunt me until I am captured... I wish I could... " Silver said slowly leaning her head against Legolas's chest slowly embracing him.
Legolas knew she was probably in tears, he wrapped his arms around her slowly leaning his chin against the top of her head. They both stood there like that for a long while just standing with each other. He stroked her head softly and kissed her head. " I won't let you go alone. " Legolas said quietly then added. " I won't leave you... "
She slowly pulled away from his embrace and wiped her eyes. She leaned up and kissed his lips softly, just for a moment. She stayed close to him after she pulled away from the kiss. Silver missed his warmth, his embrace every thing about him. Even though they had only been away from each other only a few days.
Legolas had missed the sound of her voice and would have gave any thing to hear her voice and see her again. Although he would never admit it to her, he stroked her head softly. Legolas let out a small yawn trying to keep it hidden from her. But when she grabbed his hand leading him over to his bed, he knew she seen is yawn. She sat on the edge of the bed and sat there quietly saying nothing.
" Remember when we were young... We us to lay out in the fields like this, you always use to tell me stories of dragons and gold... This time could you tell me a story... " Legolas said quietly as he sat next to her.
Silver was still trying to remember some things about the past, but she remember if he said some thing about it. He was like the light in the dark for her. " Yes... " Said the sweet voice. " Long ago when the kingdom of Senta was being built in the North Beautiful Green and Red lights filled the night sky, it was a great light, the lights had shown a Silver colored path in the stone, it lead to a place of great treasures, if you followed the path and picked up the items you came across... " Silver said her soft voice quiet in the night. She looked over at Legolas who was laying down now sleeping.
She smiled and leaned down and kissed his forehead she walked out and onto the balcony looking up at the night sky, she stood out there for a while trying to figure out when most of her child hood became a blank, when she forgot her childhood and how she did seamed to be a mystery for her. Silver stood out on the balcony most of the night.
Some time during the night Legolas was deep with in a dream, the dream became more of a nightmare that would haunt him for days. Legolas sat straight up and out of his sleep, he noticed he had been sweating and his body was shaking badly. Legolas scanned the room for Silver when he seen her standing in the doorway of the balcony he took a breath of relief.
Silver turned around and seen the look on Legolas's face, she walked over to him sitting next to him, but after a moment she laid down next to him but stayed back away from him on the bed. She slowly took one of his hands in both of hers and stroked his hand softly.
Legolas laid back he looked over and her and gazed into her eyes until, they both fell into a deep sleep. Silver woke up long before Legolas, she got up slipping out of the room. She quickly walked down the hallway doing her best not to make a sound. She walked into her room slipping out of her dress, putting on some black leggings, leather boots, a green top, with long sleeves that were gray on the inside. She put on her weapons belt with some new daggers, a quiver of arrows, a grey bow. Silver put her the quiver and the bow over her shoulder. Then put on a belt around her waist that carried her daggers, then she walked over to a mirror.
Silver took the silver band she always wore in her hair out, then she took off her necklace with the family crest on it. She remembered how many times her father told her... ' The past is the past and if that means forgetting about the people you love, the places you've been to protect them its worth forgetting... ' Silver knew that is what she had to do. She looked at the necklace, she sat in on the table letting her hand slid off it and the table as she walked out of the room.
Once she was out of her room she ran down hall and then out of the main buildings, then into the court yard, through that and across the stone bridge, up the dirt pathway into the woods. Silver made her own path into the tree line, then she stopped running once she was about a league from Rivendell. By that time it was dawn , she sat down in a field, hidden by most of the long grass. She pulled out a map she had packed, Silver planned on going South, the cutting through the Misty Mountains at one point and over to Lothlorien, then down into Rohan. Silver folded up the map and got up and started walking.
Legolas was woken by Elrond. Legolas knew when Silver wasn't laying next to him some thing had happened. Elrond left the room to go with a group to kill the Orcs going around the borders of Rivendell. Legolas quickly ran out of his room and down through the court yard to the stables. He mounted on one of the horses given to him by Elrond for when he was going back to Mirkwood. Legolas quickly kicked his horse into a gallop out of the stables and over the bridge and into the woods.
Silver walked through the long grass, the light made the yellow long grass almost shimmer, and the mountain peek covered with snow stood out. But then she stopped in her tracks, she heard them before she seen them, three wargs with Orc riders. They were coming out of the far wood line, Silver pulled out her bow quickly notching a arrow, sending it into on of the wargs. The wargs were gaining speed, she sent another arrow into the warg closest to the first. Not having enough time to react to the Orc archer, a arrow passed through and through her side. Silver stayed standing and was able to shoot the archer, then she picked off the to other Orcs.
The one lone warg started circling her, she slowly sat down her weapon belt kicking it away from her the warg watching the whole time. She sat down her bow and the quiver of arrows, she slowly pulled out the piece of jerk she was going to have for lunch. She slowly held it out, toward the warg. The warg growled and growled but then quieted, slowly inching his way towards her, took the jerky out of her hand eating it, then sniffed her hand and licked it.
Silver smiled slowly petting the wargs head, she stood there for a moment just petting the warg. In her kingdom wargs were the main use of travel because horse's had a hard time getting through the rocky and mountain like range. Silver knew just petting the warg for a while would help gain its trust. Then she slowly mounted up on the warg, at first he was slightly jumpy but when she started talking to him in elvish he stayed still, she grabbed her bow, her quiver and the weapons belt.
The warg took off into a run across the field, Silver was holding the wargs armor, she was pressed low against the wargs back. They were soon in the wood line, but Silver heard the trotting of a horse. She winced when the warg jumped over a log she made him stop. She started bandaging her wound, it hurt badly and she new she probably had some poison running through her blood stream.
