Ok Peoples, there is a MAJOIR problem w/ff.n or my comp. But anyways, now I have to transfer all of my chapters to notepad in order for it to work. Oh well, just means a bit of a delay, but since theres so few of you, no matter right? (hint: This is where you say, "Oh No! Not that!")
A/N- The next few chapters will skip around from character to character a bit, but bear with it.
Hey Sarah, can YOU tell me whats going on w/ Maegmariel? I can…:-p Don't kill me, I promise, all will be revealed, and ALL of you will like it… I hope.

When Legolas reached the palace gardens, he noticed that the musicians were still playing a lively tune, and many were still dancing. The lights still burned merrily, a complete opposite to the way Legolas felt right then. He paused, reveling in the picture that it made, and then raced through the gardens, barley noticing those he passed. Matheilion, his head bowed, raised it slightly as he passed, older elves nodded as he passed, recognizing him as the prince, some simply ignored him, not caring, he raced to the doors. In the hall, he strode to his father's side and leaned down to whisper in his ear.
"Father, orcs attack from the north, they will be here soon, more than 1,000."
Thranduil was surprised, not only at the news, but that it was his son that delivered it, through many years of practice, he did not show his surprise. He did not bother to ask how Legolas knew of this, and didn't really care. His mind was already on other things.
"Alert the wall, I will prepare here."
"Father, the wall is aware. Annundaeiel has arrived there, and they already prepare."
Thranduil nodded, then stood up, holding out his hands for attention. He got it.
Legolas did not bother to listen to his father tell the elves that orcs attacked. He had heard it many times before, many times in fact in the past few years. It seemed that Mirkwood grew more evil with each coming day. Spiders that had all but dissapeared in after the fall of the dragon were now returning. Although they had been quite rare before, Orc attacks were now quite regular, but something about this one did not sit with him well. Never had there been so many! The few the night before had not been out of the ordinary. It was peculiar to see them in groups so small, but of late, there had been many. Rarely did they attack; they were sneaky, going for stealth, almost like a curious bird…
"Curious! They were spies!"
He said it aloud; he was so surprised at his revelation. The corridor seemed empty, but he thought that he heard a small gasp. Stopping he felt around but sensed only a single elf, quite surprised and moving away. He shrugged it off, telling himself that he had merely surprised someone with his outburst. He ran to his rooms, still thinking of the orcs.
Hidden in the shadows, Maegmariel sighed in relief. She had neither heard, nor sensed Legolas, and he had nearly walked in on them! Granted, it had also been of her own stupidity, she and Quellefacion should be more careful. Wondering what was going on, she quickly started off to the hall, to see what was happening.
