Chapter 1
The Departure
Archame was a young elven prince, who lived in the forest of Lothlorien, with his Mother, Galadriel, Step-Father, Celeborn, and step-sister, Celebrian.
That mourning, Archame woke to the sunrise. It was beautiful mourning, especially beautifull due to the magical forest's trees, which leaves turn gold in the fall instead of turning brown, yellow, etc. like most woods. It was, though, a strange, uncanny mourning, despite the beauty.
The past few weeks, Archame had felt a strong urge to venture-to venture farther than anyone in the entire middle earth had ever gone. He wanted to go out of middle earth, or even of the whole PLANNET earth, if he had to. He wanted to go in search of his long lost biological father.[1] That mourning, the urge was the strongest it ever was. He long debated in his mind weather to stay, or follow his urge.
After washing, and heading down to the main level of the flet[2] he, and his family, lived on, he joined the others for breakfast.
After all announcements, there was one last one. From Archame. "Mother, I know you may be disappointed, "he said, "but I am going out in search of my father..my BIOLOGICAL father." Galadriel choked. "You're WHAT!!!!!??" a burst of murmurs arose from the company. "I said I am leaving. This afternoon I will depart, and head out, first for Mirkwood - Tranduil's Realm. Then, head out of middle earth." "I see," said Galadriel. "And I know there is nothing I can do to stop you, but I want you to know, that you don't have to do this." "I know." said Archame. "But I feel this is meant to be done" "very well," said Galadriel. "You shall be given supplies, that are to be delivered to Thranduil, and you may have some, for your journey." She said "also, you shall be given supplies-food, Lembas,[3] and other necessities too." "And mom," he said "Yes?" "I will also take my shadowfox[4] with me too," he said, "so you know." "Very well. You shall be equipped, geared up, and leave by this afternoon." Said Galadriel
That afternoon, Archame was ready to leave. The supplies for Thranduil turned out to be large containers of a specially flavoured drink. He loaded up the shadowfox, and left, off into the east, twards Mirkwood.
