Hmm, no reviews for the prologue yet. Prehaps I need a better summary.
Anyway here's Chapter One!!!

Lyndette tensed and reached for her bow when she sensed someone behind her. She turned around and came face to face with at least fifteen soldiers. She silently cursed herself for getting captured. "Who are you and what business do you have in Gondor?" Haeathrad, the head guard demanded.
"My business is my own," she said, thankful for the elven cloak that covered her face and body.
"When you are surrounded by soldiers of the king your business becomes ours."
"I wish to see King Elessar," she said defiantly.
"Oh do you? He has not told us he was expecting a visitor," Haeathrad said, grabbing her hood and yanking it away from her face. He gasped when he saw the beautiful elf-maiden. "A female, alone?" he asked in wonder.
"Yes I'm female, but my story still stands true. I wish to see Elessar," she said again.
"And so you shall," he said beckoning (a/n: is that spelled right? Spell check isn't working) her to follow them, When they reached the castle, the guards stopped. "Your name please fair lady so I may tell King Elessar who is visitor is," Haeathrad asked, his manners improving since he discovered Lyndette was female.
"Lyndette Greenleaf of Mirkwood," she said as they entered the castle. He bowed and left his soldiers to watch over her.
"Enter," Aragorn demanded when there was a knock on the door of his sitting room.
"My Lord, you have a visitor from Mirkwood," Haeathrad said, entering the room.
"Mirkwood? Did they give you a name?" he asked, his full attention on the guard.
"Lyndette Greenleaf," Haeathrad said, supressing a smile when he saw the delight on his kings face. He had been so depressed since the death of Lady Arwen.
"Send her in and leave us," Aragorn said. The guard nodded and went to fetch Lyndette. When Lyndette entered the room, she found herself wrapped in Aragorns arms.
"It's been too long Aragorn," she said, kissing her old friends cheek. "I haven't seen you in fifteen years yet you haven't aged a day," she said in wonder.
"About eight years ago I discovered that my mother was an elf which makes me..."
"Immortal," Lyndette finished for him. "Yet Arwen gave up her immortality for you. Will you do the same for her?" she asked before noticing the pain flash through his eyes.
"A few months after I discovered the truth about my mother Arwen died giving birth to our second child. She made me promise to enjoy eternal life with another love, but I have found no one yet," he said softly.
"What of the childern?" she asked, hating to see the man standing in front of her in pain.
"The second child died after a few days. My son Eldarion I sent to Rivendell when he turned thirteen so that he may be raised as I was and hopefully someday will be a great king, but enough of this sadness. How are you and Legolas? Have you been blessed with many children?" he asked as they sat down at a table. When she didn't answer, he knew something was wrong. "Lyndette?"
"Think back ten years Aragorn. Did Legolas come here and try to get you to come on an adventure with him?" she asked.
"I haven't seen Legolas since your wedding," he said, his brow wrinkled in thought. "Why?"
"Ten years ago, he left me saying he needed an adventure and that if he wasn't back in two years to go searching for him. When he didn't return in five, Thranduil called off the search because he believed that Legolas had gone west. Then he told me I had two choices, marry his oldest son or leave. I left. I went home to Lorien. Gladriel finally gave me the hope I needed that Legolas was still alive. And I knew they only person that could help me find him was you if you were willing. If you are not, I will search for him myself. And as for children, one was concieved the night Legolas left. She died of a fever when she was only a few hours old, I never got to hold her or name her," she said as she finally let her tears fall.
"Shh," Aragorn said, pulling her close. "You need to rest," he said, noticing the dark circles under her eyes. "Let me get my affairs in order and we will leave in a fortnight," he promised.
"Who will rule in your place?" she asked, suprised he said yes.
"The head of my soldiers and most trusted confidant, Haeathrad. I belive you met him," Aragorn said with a smirk.
"I never thought I'd meet a man who could sneak up on me," she said with a smile.
"A bath and then sleep for you Lady Lyndette. I'll see you tomorrow," he said, giving orders to a servant to fix Lyndette a hot bath.
"Good night Aragorn," she said hugging him before leaving the room.
