Leia remembered feeling something, then looking up. She had seen a green beam heading directly at her. She had no time to do anything. Now she was was laying on the ground. She could smell flowers, and heard something sing, but their voices sounded like whistling. It was a lovely song, and when she opened her eyes, she saw little animals flying in the air. It was they who sang. There was beautiful flowers everywhere, and the sun was shining brightly. Leia felt like she could listen to the animals song forever. This place reminded her of her home planet Alderaan, but it was much more beautiful than Alderaan. She looked around. She couldn't see either Han nor Luke. She wondered where they were, and where she was. How did she get there? She got up, and was about to call for them, when suddenly a voice called.

"Holt, young Lady!" Leia froze. The voice didn't sound like a stormtrooper. She raised her hands slowly.

"Turn around!" the voice said. The voice was beautiful, Leia noticed. It sounded like the voice of a young man soft, but determent. Yet, it was something wise and timeless about it.

"Turn around now, Lady." Another voice said. This to belonged to a man, but it was tougher and more brutal than the first one. It seemed almost a little hostile. She turned. She was facing two men. One was a tall man. His hair was blond, he had blue eyes, a very pretty face, and his ears was pointy. He was wearing a green cloak,underneath, all his clothes was green, except his boots, which was made of leader. Beside him stood a guy who only reached just above the blond mans waist. He had a long brown hair, which wasn't nearly as smooth as the blond guys. He had a beard and a mustache, which was the same color as the hair. His face was carved, and mostly hidden behind his hair and beard, which was both braided. He wore a helmet made of leather and metal, and the rest of his clothes was brown, except for a green cloak, which looked exactly the same as the blond guys cape. The blond man started talking. The first voice had belonged to him..

"Who are you, Lady, and why are you walking in the land of Ithilien without permission?"

"I didn't know where I was, and I don't know how I got here. I don't even know where this Ithilien is." Leia answered. Where was she?

"Ithilien," the blond man said, a bit more softly, noticing the hint of panic in Leias voice "is a part of Gondor. It is near to Mordor, and we have to guard it well, even now, when the Ring is destroyed, and the Dark Lord has fallen. Orcs do get here sometimes, but the never get far. We slay them before the can do much harm. Now tell me, my Lady, who are you?"

"I am princess Leia." She answered, a bit more relaxed. "Who are you?"

"I," the tall man said, "am Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood, son of Thranduil."

"And I," said the short man beside him, " I am Gimili, son of Gloin."

"I am sorry Princess, but we have to take you to the King of Gondor, King Elessar."

"Why?" Leia asked, panicking What about Han and Luke? Where were they? Where was she? Was she still on Endor?

"I am sorry, princess Leia, but you have broken the law, and must stand before the King." The little man, Gimili, said " But do not worry. He is a kind and fair king. You will be in no trouble."

"Gimili," Legolas said. "Wait here with Princess Leia, and I will ask the rangers if they can spare a horse to the Lady."

"All right." Gimili said, but he didn't seem to like being left to baby sit a princess with a funny hairdo.

"Wait, Prince Legolas!" Leia cried. Legolas stopped and turned against the princess. "I was with some others, before I woke up here. If you see anyone or anything, please tell them you found me!"

"I will!" Legolas called.



Leia sat down by herself, thinking about what had happened. How could she wake up a completely different place from where she had been. Besides, there weren't supposed to be any people on Endor except stormtroopers, and the two guys she had just talked to was not stormtroopers. She was sure about that.



Legolas was back, and he had brought two four legged animals.

"You do know how to ride, Princess?" he asked.

"Please, call me Leia. And I do know how to ride, but I have never been riding an animal like that." Legolas looked shocked. "You have never been riding a horse?" "Don't worry," she said. "I'll manage." Then she jumped up on the horse offered to her. Legolas jumped up on his own horse with an incredible elegance, and the horse didn't even seem to notice. Gimili climbed up behind him. Then Legolas said some strange words to the horses, and they started to move, just slow enough for Leia not to fall off.



To be continued...

Authors note: No, this will NOT be a Legolas mush. Leia will not fall in love with Legolas, because she loves Han Solo. I've been trying to keep Legolas true to the books, not the movie, and the only thing he got from Orli is his looks. Now I will be happy if you do NOT compare him to what he is like in all the Legolas Love fanfics. Thang you very buch...
