Chapter 7

The tall thick oak doors creaked as they swung open revealing a rather modest throne room. King Thranduil was seated off to the side at a long wooden table covered in papers and books. There was a large wooden chair off to one side that Liana could only assume was the throne of sorts. A large fire place was in the middle of the room with the table that the king was seated at with a map of Mirkwood before it.

"Ahh, the Prince has finally returned to Mirkwood." King Thranduil said as he stood from his place at the table and walked over to embrace his son. Liana noticed the resemblance between Legolas and his dad. Legolas definitely got his looks from his dad. Both sported the blond hair braided down the back much. He was taller than Legolas, but had the same piercing blue eyes. The King had a simple circlet upon his head, and was dressed in a long dark blue tunic that was mostly concealed by a large blue robe.

"You must be the Lady Liana. Lord Elrod was kind enough to tell me much about you. I have had a room prepared for you and I think it will be much to your satisfaction." He said turning towards her and bowing his head slightly in greeting. "You must excuse my son and I, we have much to discuss. I will have Bellasiel show you to your room. I'm sure you are weary from your travels," he said as he gestured to a handmaiden standing off in the corner. Liana did a curtsy bow type gesture towards the king and turned to walk with Bellasiel, giving Legolas one last look as she hurried towards the handmaiden waiting at the door.

Liana admitted to herself that she was greatly looking forward to a bath, and she could not lie, she was tired. "Lady Liana," the king said as she reached the large doors that led out to the hallway. "You do not need to hide yourself hear, when you are ready feel free to embrace who you are." He gave her a warm smile and at that she disappeared out the door and down the hall.

"My name is Bellasiel. I have been assigned as your handmaiden. If there is anything you desire all you need is ask. The kings has granted you anything you wish to make your stay as enjoyable as he can."

Bellasiel led her down several long plane hallways before coming to a stop in front of a wooden door. "Here you are," she said sweetly. "This room has been prepared for you, and from what I understand it is exactly what you desire." She opened the door and let Liana walk in first. Liana's jaw dropped for a second as she took it all in.

There was a large wooded four poster bed in the center of the room with elegant vines carved down the posts. The bad was shaded by a white veil, probably to help conceal the bed due to how open the room was to the wild. There was a small fire place just big enough to keep the room warm and a large wardrobe up against one of the walls. She had her own bath room with a large metal tub in the center, already filled with steaming water. And a balcony, the balcony was twice the size of the room and had large trees with branches all around it that hung over the balcony. If she chose to, she could climb out into the trees and into the forest. The canopy of the trees hung just over the balcony shading it from any harsh weather.

"I will leave you to your bath, Lady Liana," Bellasiel said as she turned and left.

Liana walked out on to the balcony. She noticed that the balcony faced the forest and not the town, giving her even more privacy. The trees loomed over it offering shade and peace of mind. Dropping her dress to the ground she allowed herself to shift into her Fae form. She slowly ran her fingers over the cold snow covered stone that lined the edge of the balcony. Liana found her room to be quite comfortable. The king had done well in understanding her needs, but before she could lose herself in her thoughts too much, she remembered the bath that had been prepared for her and quickly made her way to the bath room and the waiting steaming tub.

While lavishing in a long hot bath, Liana quickly found herself more exhausted then she had originally thought. The warm water soothed her sore legs. She was not accustomed to riding horseback and even for her it was trying on her muscles. She dipped her head back into the water and let herself lay there for a few moments, her hair drifting around her shoulders.

Stepping out of the tub she found a towel lying just off behind her on the counter. Lucky her fur didn't hold water like most animals would and so drying off was never much of a problem for her. Water always seemed to wick away.

Walking over to the bed she almost had to jump to get on top of it. The soft fabric seemed to swallow her. Normally the softness of the bed would cause her to toss and turn for a bit but she was so drained from the long journey that it didn't take long at all before she was out cold.

Liana had been asleep for several hours when there came a light knocking at the door. Shifting slightly on her bed but not fully bringing herself to a waking state her ears perked to the sound of the door opening.

Legolas found her nestled on top of the covers on the massive bed. He was pleased to see she was in Fae form. He brushed a strand of her white and red hair out of her face. "Has your father finished with you," she asked as her eyes fluttered open. He smiled down at her.

"How is it you do that," he asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Do what," she said smiling back at him as she ran a hand through her hair.

"How is it you always seem to know when it's me?"

She smiled warmly. "I can feel you. Even though I did not hear you as you enter the room, I felt you the moment you did," she said in response as she stared up into his blue eyes. Clearly seeing he didn't follow what she was saying, she explained further. "Everybody had this kind of resonance that they give off. Each one is unique, no two people are the same. I can sense the resonance. So I'll always be able to know it's you." She said as she crawled off the bed.

Legolas stood taking her hands in his. "My father called me home because there is a problem defending our western borders."

Liana's ears perked. "The elves are having a problem in defense," she asked teasingly.

Legolas smiled. "We share these woods with many creatures, some of which are giant spiders. For the most part they stay clear of us, but lately they been causing problems for my people." Liana squeezed his hands. "So before I go out with a hunting party tonight I thought I would escort you to dinner," he said weaving her arm though his. "Come let us eat." With that he led her out of the room and down the long hallways to the dining hall.

"When do you leave," she asked, turning to look at him. They had stopped just outside the dining hall.

"Just after dinner, the spiders only come out at night and early dawn so we have limited a time to act."

They continued into the room. There were only a few elves inside eating. Much to Liana's surprise what few elves were in the room ignored her as she walked in. This brought a smile to her face. It was just as Legolas and the King had said, she would be safe here.

Sitting down at a long table they were brought a rather sizable bowl of some sort of stew, which Liana had no problem in eating. It both smelled and looked delicious, and the one thing she had learned was that the elves knew how to cook.

"Legolas, do you think I can come with you? On the hunt," she said suddenly. Legolas, caught off guard by this question, gave her an odd look. "You wish to accompany me? It will be quite dangerous."

"I understand, but if I am to remain here with you then Mirkwood is to become somewhat of a home to me, and I would like to ensure it will be safe for all who dwell here." Puzzled by the words she used, all who dwell, he nodded his head in agreement.

"As you wish. We leave as soon as we're done with dinner." Smiling she nodded at him and continued to eat her stew. "Don't tell Lord Elrond but the food here is much better."

Legolas smiled at her. "I will not say a word."

After dinner Legolas and Liana walked down to the stables to meet up with three other elves that would be joining them, each one introducing themselves with a low bow and a hand over their heart before mounting their horses. "Do you wish to retrieve your bow from your room before we go?" Legolas asked before helping her onto the back of his horse.

"No, I will not be needing it," she said smiling. Legolas jumped on in front of her.

"I sense that there is something you are not telling me," he said as he urged his horse forward. All he got in return was a wide toothy smile that in many ways was very evil looking.

It wasn't far to the edge of the forest where the spiders were causing a nuisance. There was a heavy fog rolling in and it seemed to blanket the ground. As the horses trotted through the fog seemed to move over everything like waves of the sea rolling in harsh weather. Massive webs littered the trees everywhere. There were animals of all kinds suspended in the webs and hanging from them.

Liana could feel the spiders all around, in the trees looking down on them, stalking them. "How many are there?" Legolas asked, not looking back at her.

"At least fifteen," she answered, knowing full well that the elves were greatly out numbered.

Legolas readied his bow in one smooth movement. "You should have brought your weapon. You will not be able to attack them head on," he said worriedly. She could feel his muscles tensing.

"Do not worry for me my friend, all will be well," she said giving him a soft reassuring squeeze.

Suddenly a large black spider with black and red banded legs fell from the trees just in front of them causing his horse to rear up, throwing both of them to the ground. Legolas quickly scrambled to his feet and fired his bow. Liana was quicker at recovering from hitting the ground and was able to move and intercept the arrow before it striking the spider. Shocked at both her sudden movement and action Legolas notched another arrow. "N'e en I men." Out of the way, he called to her as he felt anger growing within him at her actions. Before he could fire another arrow several more spiders descended from the trees effectively surrounding them.

Liana turned to the large spider in front of her that kept advancing towards her. She could sense Legolas tensing up behind her. He was worried for her safety and probably shocked at her show of stupidity. He stood at ready with his warriors for the inevitable fight.

Liana looked back at him and once more gave him that toothy evil smile, which almost seemed to calm him for some reason. He lowered his bow and singled for the others to do so as well. This action caused the spiders to stop their advance.

He knew they were greatly outnumbered as it was, so whatever she was going to do he would give her the chance to do it. She reached a hand up and places it on one of the spider's leg. It flinched slightly and then brought its body down to the ground so that his eyes were even with hers. There was a long silence between them and Legolas had a suspicion that the two of them were communicating somehow. She reached up and stroked the fuzz around its pincers. The spider almost seemed to purr at her action, and then it turned and climbed up into the canopy, followed closely by the other spiders.

"You will have no more problems from them," she said as she turned and walked towards Legolas. The other elves of the group were whispering between themselves as she approached Legolas.

"You are full of surprises, Lady Liana," he said with a grin. There was a part of him that was happy that they were able to avoid bloodshed, as the fight would not have ended well for either race.

She smiled at him. "There is much you do not know about yet, Prince," and with that they climbed back onto the horse and headed back towards what Liana would soon be calling home.

Legolas couldn't help think how grateful he was that she allowed him to stay in her life, and knew from that point on that they would be friends long into the future and nothing would be able to break the bond he now felt they shared.
