Here's more guys! Sorry it took so long, my computer was being evil and not letting me log in (on a different one right now). Saved to my Word, I have chapters all the way up to actual mush, so I hope I can post more frequently!

And for the people who had questions:

Someone asked about Mary Sues, and that is basically when the female lead role is beautiful and intelligent, all those clichés, sometimes resembling the author themselves (idealistically). I suppose Elwyn could be considered one somewhat, but it's just how she came out when I wrote her and she is by no means perfect (plus ppl seem to like Mary Sues anyway, so what does it matter? ;) )

Someone asked about Aragorn and Éowyn: Yes, I know he married Arwen. But I had a purpose in making Éowyn queen, because it was the only way I could ensure that Elwyn would be fully mortal. Arwen is mentioned later though as having passed into the Havens for good (Believe me, I love Arwen, I hated making Éowyn his wife). I change things every now and then if the story can't work with them. For instance, Legolas is still in Middle Earth after 20 years and I dunno where I've stuck Gimli, I'll bring him in later. lol)

I assume you guys don't wanna scroll down for the Elvish translations, so I'm putting them in parentheses after the phrase for now! 

Okay, on with the story! (it's short, but I'm posting the next at the same time)

Legolas

"There is much discord between the council members, nin mellon,"(my friend) Aragorn sighed, placing his head in his hands and massaging his furrowed brow tiredly.

I nodded, as weary of this struggle as he was. "What is their proposition?" I inquired.

He lifted his head. "We gather our forces again."

I squinted at him curiously. "For what purpose?"

He hesitated. "Beating back what is left of Mordor's army."

I sat back in my chair. "That war ended long ago."

"I am aware of that," he said, and I could sense the exasperation in his voice. He had obviously already been through this with the others. "And the last thing I want is to start any of the bloodshed again, but…" he trailed off. "Faramir believes the wayward Orcs should be driven back. They are attacking our boarders and southern Gondor territory is one of the last havens for Elves. As much as I hate to take desperate measures in order to preserve it, I will not see it destroyed when I could have prevented its unmaking." He leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees. "Faramir also wishes me to ask you to travel back to Ithilien and retrieve the colony."

I didn't reply to this, contemplating his words. I could tell my friend knew it was a large favor he was asking. To bring the small remainder of my people into another battle, even a minimized one compared to what we had been through in the past, and to endanger myself on the journey as I had riding up to Aragorn's city was no small task. This had been Faramir's idea, I knew, but I also was aware that Aragorn was beginning to think it was a good one.

I swallowed. "Do you wish me to go?"

"I don't know." He rose to his feet and began pacing the room, his frustration evident. "I don't…I was actually thinking it would be better to leave the Elves out of this all together."

"You'll need us for this campaign, Aragorn," I insisted, standing as well. "And I guarantee you, though I cannot speak for all in my colony, I will not stand idly by while others fight."

"I'm not asking you to." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Do you think it best to travel back to Ithilien?"

"I think it best to not start another war, no matter how small in scale compared to the last."

"They are without direction," he reminded me, "Without leadership. Against our combined forces, they will not last long." He visibly hesitated. "Will you do this?"

I stood there, my jaw clinched for several moments. I said nothing.

Ah, the plot thickens. Hehe. (And whether or not any Orcs are left after the books and whether or not they would still try attacking, doesn't matter, I need it for conflict and it's possible, lol ;) ) FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
