"Come in Boromir."
"Than you Elrond, I need to talk to about Katriana."
"What about her, has she done anything wrong?"
"No, But I just don't think she should be in battle already."
"Why not?"
"I know her father was a great man, but how do you know she will be ready?"
"Her father was a great man? I don't think we are talking about the same one. Perhaps in battles but at home he was never great. He hid his wife in shame of her being elven. Their first son was not elven, and was still married to her, If you understand me." He paused for a second before continuing his lecture. "He was shamed of both of them and abandoned them, leaving katrianas mother to die in grief and for her to stumble upon a great wizard to help her find a place to live. If you once doubt that she will not battle well, Challenge her and then you will not need to worry any more besides the size of your coffin." Elrond had the ability to change anyones mind and leave them speechless. Boromir just sat there for a moment."Is there anthing else?"
"no." Boromir was sadly defeated. They were not the only ones listening to this conversation though. Lueaha was around just like usual. She wasn't snooping just was curious why Katriana's name was talked between Boromir and Elrond. Seeing as how Katriana didn't know she was an elf, she presumed that she also didn't know her fathers crimes. She would tell Katriana at the right time. She waited for Boromir to leave untill she went inside Elrond's office.
"Elrond."
"Yes Lueaha?"
"Mister Frodo is here."
"Ah, yes show him in."
************************************************************
She had just shot another arrow into the tree, her target. She smiled that was the fifth one in a row. She saw Lueaha approching and put her bow across her shoulders. Her shootings sometimes missed the tree and Lueaha was too good of a friend.
"Hello Lueaha!"
"Hello, may I please have a word with you?"
"Of course," She put down the arrows she was pulling out of the tree. "alright, what do you want to talk about?"
"Your father."
"What about him." Katriana made a face and Lueaha could tell that this was by far her favorite subject.
"Maybe we should do this later." Lueaha started to get up.
"No, no, now is as good as ever, what about him?"
"Well did you know much about your mother?"
"Not really, I was barley ever home. She had blonde hair, like mine was, but always wore a hood, she was very quite kept to herself. But like I said I was mostly gone, outside exploring or watching my brother and father fight."
"I see. Did your family ever have company?"
"Yes sometimes, but we weren't ever welcome downstairs durning these. I sometimes snuck a look downstairs. They would pat my father on the back for something good he had done. There was a lot of drinking too. He didn't me down there, he ordered mother not to."
"Did you ever wonder why?"
"I just thought it was a mans party. He didn't really care too much about me, I was glad when he left, sad that my brother left though. And her death."
"Did you know your brother was not elven?"
"No why would he be?" Just as she had said it she understood.
"I just thought you should know he wasn't a good man."
"I never thought he was, now I think he is worse. Thank you Lueaha. May I ask you a question now?"
"Sure"
"Are you and Legolas, together?"
"Not that I know of." She with a laugh letting Katriana should not be sorry for asking.
"I was just wondering."
"You should have an elven name. I shall go think" Lueaha stood up and walked off only leaving Katriana in hate of her father. She was going to be done shooting but she felt like one more round would only help her calm her nerves. While halfway done she heard something behind her. Judging by the steps she could tell it was Aragorn She shot her next arrow.
"Hello Aragorn."
"Your elven skills show too much I am afraid."
"So you cannot ever sneak up behind me?"
"Exactly." She turned around and greeted him with a kiss. "Are you practicing because the news of battle?"
"News of battle I have not heard. I practice because I am not good enough."
"When will you be good enough?"
"Never."
"Well Frodo was here and talking with Elrond. He spoke of battles and war starting."
" I will be expected to fight."
"Yes you will, If you believe you are ready"
"I am"
"Than you Elrond, I need to talk to about Katriana."
"What about her, has she done anything wrong?"
"No, But I just don't think she should be in battle already."
"Why not?"
