When Lin and her father reached their camp, he sat Lintegurthwen down.

"Lin, do you know who the elf was on the battlefield?"
"Uma" {Yes}
"Then you know that he is the son, of our great enemy. It is he who we are fighting to keep our kingdom from"
"Amin sinta" {I know}
"You must stay away from him Lin. Do you understand me?"
"Uma" {Yes}
"Lin, I do not want you to go into the battle tomorrow"
"Mani?" {What?}
"I do not want you anywhere near the battle"
"I will not stay and wait. I was trained to fight, you trained me and fight I will"

With this Lin stood up and marched off. She walked a good distance away from the camp and took solitude under a large tree. Tears escaped her eyes that she would not shed earlier. It was with these tears that Lin drifted off to sleep, awaiting the day she knew deep down, would change everything.

~The Next Morning~

Lin awoke to sounds beyond, sounds of the battle. She quickly sat up and raced towards the noise. Swords crashed together, elven bodies lay over the field. Lin wasted in time jumping right into the very midst of the fight. Tired and weary Lin fought on, but it was all in vain, King Thranduil's men had been capturing her fellow elves. Lin caught glimpse of her father in the distance and to her complete horror, he was captured. Pain shot through her head and everything turned fuzzy and black.

"Tarien Lintegurthwen wake up, my arwen" {Princess, Lady}

Lin slowly opened her eyes, trying desperately to focus.

"Mani happened?" {What}
"My Lady, you where struck from behind and captured like the rest of his highnesses elves"
"Amin atar, is he alright?" {My Father}
"Uma, King Thranduil has him in separate quarters, I doubt they know who you are or else you would be in something more suitable for you" {Yes}
"I care not where I am, only that we have failed"
"I am sorry"

Lin smiled at this elf, "It is not your fault, but thank you"

"Atar, tarien Lintegurthwen was in battle, therefore she is in with the soldiers we must find her" {Father, Princess}
"Uma, Vardasirion, asked about the whereabouts of Lintegurthwen. I will go and try to seek her out of the mass" {Yes}
"N'uma atar amin will find her" {No, Father I}
"Do you know Lintegurthwen?"
"Uma, we met on our journey into the battle, we did not know each others identity" {Yes}
"Very well Legolas, you go and find her while I speak with Vardasirion"

~*~
Lin sat quietly amongst her fellow elves. Sitting against a wall she let her eyes close. Sounds of the door being opened could be heard, but Lin paid no attention, for food was more than likely being provided.

"Eller re is" {There she}

Lin's eyes slowly opened and standing before her was Legolas. He reached his hand out towards her gesturing to help her up. Lin refused and stood on her own, all the while her eyes locked on his.

"Come Lintegurthwen, I am to bring you to your father"

Lin did not say a word just followed him in silence. Legolas turned and stopped.

"Lin, you can not change the past. What feelings where created remain, no matter the blood line that runs between"

Lin refused to make eye contact and kept her chin in the air. Legolas turned and continued on until her father's room was before him. He opened the door and Lin stepped in side. Legolas closed the door and left. Lin ran to her father and hugged him.

"Lintegurthwen, you are unharmed! I am most grateful for that"
"Yes father, I am fine. How could this have happened?"
"My dear child there is something that I must tell you before I am put on my most guilty trial
