chapter 3
Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn trailed behind Rowen and Nixa as the pair journeyed deeper into the forest. It was well after dark and they had been travelling for hours, yet they still haven't seen any sight of life.
"Uh, Lady Rowen?" Aragorn called out to her.
Rowen turned around with a huff. "Yes?" said answered.
"Are we almost there, for I fear we are tired from the battle and you do have that wound on your arm."
Rowen waved her hand dismissively. "Of course we're almost there. Another few minutes and we'll reach the hall."
Sure enough, as they walked on, they began to see elves here and there through the trees. As they kept walking a wondrous sight suddenly confronted them, for among the trees they could see a large hall, made of gold and silver. As they drew closer they could clearly see the main archway. On the top of the arch was a crest carved into the gold, depicting a sparkling diamond shaped crystal with an arrow from it.
Rowen noticed their gaze being drawn to the crest and drew herself higher. "Fangorn archers are known to be the best in middle-earth."
"What does the jewel stand for?" asked Legolas.
Rowen grew flustered. "Nothing really" she said as calmly as she could.
She quickened her pace, causing them to speed up. They passed under the golden archway, and entered the main doors. Inside they traveled through many winding corridors, until finally they reached the main hall.
They stepped inside the massive doors in the hall. In the center of the hall there was a huge table. On each side of the table elves of seemingly noble birth sat. In the head seat sat the lord of Fangorn forest. Upon seeing him, Nixa quickly jumped out of Rowen's arms and ran to him, jumping in his lap.
"Daddy!" she said, hugging him.
The elf lord was magnificently dressed in robes of silk. He didn't look older then 35, but knowing elves, he could have been any age.
Rowen made her way over to her father, doing a little curtsy, and then wrapped her arms around him. That done, she stood behind his chair, looking at the group again.
The lord stood up and walked over to the bowing company.
"You were the ones that saved my daughters?" he looked at Legolas. Legolas gave a curt nod. The lord's face broke out into a smile. "Then I thank you strangers for bringing them home safely." He bowed to them.
"Now, I believe you would like to ask about your reward?"
Legolas shook his head. "Nay, we do not wish for a reward. We only wanted to see the lady's safely home, for we have other business in the forest sir." From the corner of his eye Legolas could see Rowen give a little gasp of surprise.
The lord raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be?"
"We are searching for two halflings that were taken from us by Saruman."
A shadow fell across the king's face. "Saruman? We shall help you find these halflings then." He motioned to the side were a few guards were standing. "Galidor, send your best men to find these halflings."
"Yes lord."
He turned back to the company. "Well then-"
Legolas bowed. "Legolas" he pointed to Aragorn and Gimli. "My companions are Aragorn and Gimli."
The lord nodded. "Well, you may stay in our halls until we find your halflings. Feel free to roam as you will." He then turned his attention back to his daughters.
The company bowed and made there way out of the hall, following two elfmaids to their rooms.
------
Legolas moved stealthily along the forest floor, carefully avoiding anything in his path. He had grown weary of listening to Gimli and Aragorn bicker about what they should do so he had left, preferring to explore around.
As he moved along a soft tune caught his ears. He moved in the direction of the sound, at last coming to a clearing with a small waterfall and stream going through it. There, to his amazement, he saw Rowen, leaning again a tree, singing. She had gotten her arm bandaged up from the orc knife, and was now wearing an off the shoulder, white dress so as to have nothing rub against it. Legolas listened closely to catch the soft-spoken words.

Rowen finished her song with closed eyes. She stayed perfectly still against the oak tree she was against, when suddenly she shot off toward Legolas, catching him by the ear.
"What are you doing? So, have you taken to spying on me?"
Legolas tried to struggle out of her grasp, but to no avail. Her hand remained locked on is ear.
"I'm truly sorry, lady Rowen, I was just out for walk and I heard singing, so I came to see who it was."
Rowen immediately let go of his ear and blushed.
"Very sorry then, lord Legolas." She added as an after thought. She went back to the tree and resumed her position.
"It was very lovely singing lady" he commented.
Rowen blushed again.
"T-thank you. It is not often I get complemented by strangers." She cleared her throat and looked him in the face. "I'd like to apologies for my rude behavior before, after all, you did save my life. I was tired and, well, travelling with orcs for three days did not help my mood."
Legolas bowed to her. "Thank you lady, however, I also need to apologize for my actions. I spoke rashly and without thought to one as beautiful as yourself."
Rowen fake sighed and shook a playful finger at him. "And you were doing so well until you got to the complement. I do not need to be buttered up, that you very much." She laughed lightly.
Legolas smiled. "May I sit down?" he asked softly.
Rowen nodded and moved over slightly so he could lean against the same tree. Legolas sat down beside her and they shared a moment of content silence.
"So" she said, breaking the silence. "Where do you hail from, Lord Legolas?"
"Just Legolas please. I hail from North Mirkwood, lady."
"Will you stop with the lady bit? It is rather annoying." Her eyes perked up with interest. "You hail from Mirkwood? Really?"
Legolas nodded his head.
"Tell me what its like! I've heard wonderful stories of it. One of the last four places where high elves still live, isn't it?"
"Yes it is La-Rowen. My mother was actually a high elf."
Rowen smiled. "I had guessed that you were of high elf, or at least half high elf. I am too, high elf that is. We are some of the last few though." She sighed. "Elves are departing the world now. My father says he longs to see the Grey Havens of late. I am still too in love with this land to go yet though." She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the tree.
"So you would not go with him then?"
Rowen opened her eyes in surprise. "To the Grey Havens? I think not! I want to stay in Middle-Earth for a good deal longer." A flash of amusement lit her eyes. "Why? Would you grieve if I left?" she asked, pointing him in the side with her elbow.
An off pink tint appeared on Legolas' cheeks, but he refused to be flustered. "Me? Grieve if you left Middle-Earth? That is preposterous Lady."
Rowen laughed. "Me thinks, Lord Legolas, that thou doth protest too much." She said curtly. She laughed again and leaned her head once more against the tree, staring up at the slowly setting sun.
"Oh shoot, it is almost dark, my father with skin me if I'm not back in time for the feast!"
Legolas stood up smoothly and offered a hand to Rowen. "Then we'd best get you back soon, shan't we?"
Rowen took the offered hand, but found she had no room in which to stand. Seeing this Legolas moved back a few paces, but in doing this, he stepped on a protruding tree branch and fell backwards, pulling Rowen on top of him.
They both froze. Legolas couldn't register anything in his mind except for the fact that she was on top of him. He couldn't feel anything but the softness of her body against his, and a small touch of coldness that touched his chest. Confused he tried to see what it was, only to have Rowen desperately try to grab it and put it in her pocket. Before she could do this though, the object shot off a white glowing light. Rowen gasped and quickly hurried off Legolas. She stood up and shoved the object into her pocket. Without a backward glance she ran as quickly as she could out of the forest to the hall.
Legolas sat up, confused. "What was that?" he said aloud.
