Arwen's Memories

Sera paced in her floor length icy blue dress as she waited for Faramir. He was suppose to take her in to see the King and Queen, but he was late. She suddenly heard arguing from within the throne room and knew one voice was Faramir's and the others was the King's.

Guard opened the door and everything went quiet. They grabbed her arms and dragged her in like she was a wild pig. Sera look up at the King and Queen who sat on their stone thrones while Faramir knelt in front of them, sweat coming come his brow as he looked at her.

"State your name and business." The King boomed. She hesitantly looked up at his dark eyes and studied his dark brown locks that framed his fame and the beard that was barely a centimetre off his face. The Queen looked... like her? She had black hair and stormy grey eyes that screamed beauty. She was stunning!

As she looked back to the King, his eyes widened.

"Lift up your head." He demanded, sitting on the edge of his seat. Sera could tell that the Queen was confused as she also sat in a similar position to her husband.

Sera lifted her head to look in the King's eyes with a cold expression. His eyes widened even more which made her think that she really offended him. The Queen was still confused as her husband got down from his throne. He walked over with propose then stopped right in front of her small frame.

"W-why are you a-alive?" He stuttered. She never thought someone of such status could fall to such verbal trip up.

"I'm guess you knew her too. This Serethiel person." She laughed as she crossed her frail arms.

"My name is Sera and this Serethiel girl is still dead. Sorry I got your hopes up." She smiled slightly, looking over to the Queen who now caught on.

"There is no mistaking it, you are Serethiel, Daughter of Elrond!" He boomed with a smile. He went in for a hug but she quickly stepped away.

"Listen, I have no idea who you people are and this Serethiel person is still dead. I'm not even from here! I'm from another fucking dimension!" Sera blurted out. The Queen stepped down from her throne and went to her husband.

"Aragorn, this is not my sister. She is clearly distressed and upset. I will go back to Rivendell to speak with my father on this matter. I will take her as well." The Queen said as she stood tall.

"No Arwen, You could be attacked. I will send for Lord Elrond and we will wait for him. In the mean time, she will stay as a guest." Arwen nodded and went toward Sera.

"Come with me, we shall take a walk." Arwen walked with grace as Sera trailed behind. Sera looked at the Queen from behind and saw her pointed ears. Now that she thought about it, didn't Legolas and Thranduil have pointed ears too?

This world must be very odd.

"Sera, please tell me how you came to be in this world." She said as Sera jogged to catch up.

"There was an earthquake..."

"An earthquake?"

"Yeah, its when the ground shakes and sometimes it can get torn apart leaving a hole." Arwen nodded trying to picture it but failed miserably. Sera looked down at her shoes as a silence passed between the two.

"I was wondering, could you tell me about Serethiel? What happened to her?" She asked. Arwen's face frowned in sadness then spoke.

"Serethiel was a very... complicated soul. When she and I when younglings, we were exploring when she was taken away by a Nazgul, a Ringwraith. I forgot all about her by the time the war of the Ring. The Ring was created by a Dark Lord that wanted to take over Middle Earth. He was the one who kidnapped Serethiel and raised her as his own." The Queen looked like she was about to cry but she kept her calm composure as she told the story.

"He took her away from her family and filled her mind with poison. But Serethiel was blessed with being strong willed and never believed that hurting innocent people was the right way to rule. When she finally grew up, she planned to escape from Mordor to run away from the Dark Lord but was caught. Uruk-hai escorted her from the palace right as a group of Elves discovered them." Arwen took a breath but Sera ended up butting in.

"Wait, Elves? You mean the small ones that work in Santa's work shop?" Sera questioned in disbelief.

"Who is 'Santa'?"

"Oh, sorry. It's a Christmas thing in my world. Do you have Christmas here?" Arwen shook her head as she smiled.

"Elves are magically beings that are immortal. They all have pointed ears and are so light in weight, they have the ability to walk upon freshly fallen snow without breaking through, but when you try and pick an Elf up, they weight as much as they look." Sera nodded for Arwen to continue. Then Thranduil and Legolas must be Elves.

"Among that group of Elves was Haldir of Lothlòrein and Prince Legolas of Mirkwood." The name of the prince rung a bell. Was that the Legolas she was with a few days ago?

"Legolas and Serethiel were close. He was closer to her than anyone at the time, even closer than myself. They fell in love over time, but her being the daughter of the Dark Lord tore them apart. Many hated her for that reason, my husband resented her before we were married like everyone else did. I wondered why she looked so much like me so I assumed my father was keeping things from me,

"When well reached my home after raiding Mordor, we found out she was indeed my sister and an Elf. Serethiel did not take kindly to it and denied it. All she ever wanted was a family, but she did not phantom she would have a whole entire forgotten life. When she finally accepted her new life, she was heading into war. She was the commander of the Lòrein riders and became a proud warrior,

"Our father foresaw her death and she still went into battle, she said that if her death was going to win the war, she wouldn't hesitate. Right then I realized that it was something she had to do. It was the one thing she was destined to do. At the end of the battle, she struck down the Dark Lord and healed Legolas from his wounds. Her powers began to fade from her being and she slowly started to die,

"Serethiel had the strange ability to control fire and heal any injury. Her abilities came from Sauron who linked himself to her so she could become the next in line for the dark throne. It ended up being his down fall. Serethiel died a few hours later after Legolas brought her down from the Mines of Moria. Her body was gone when she died, only soot and singed bed sheets was all that was left behind,

"I was devastated, but Legolas was in more pain than any of us. He shut the world out and still does. His father Thranduil, always teased him about it because he had never met Serethiel." Sera went wide-eyed.

"I was traveling with them! Thranduil and Legolas!" Sera gasped.

"You were with Legolas? Does that mean he was taking you to see Galadriel?" Arwen questioned.

"Yeah, but we ran into some Goblins and my horse got spooked." She explained.

"I see. Legolas must be looking for you. I will sent out some riders to look for him and to bring him here." Sera once again looked down at her feet as she waited for the Queen to speak again.

"Do not fret any more, we will find out why you were sent to us."
