Chapter One: The Prince
_____________________________________________________________________________
Gala, was looking out the window of her chamber. The beautiful sky outside, the sun was shining very brightly despite the fact that it was very cloudy.
She was sitting on the edge of her four post bed, and had a leather bound book opened in her lap. In the book were beautiful drawings, of fountains, rivers, water falls, and of elves! She turned to the last page, in was blank. It seemed to be the last blank page left.
She took out a peice of coal, and started tracing the sky outside, looking back and forth, until she was finished. A lovely picture of the sun and its surroundings!
Closing the book, she slipped it under her bed. Finaly, she stood up, she walked to the door and opened it. Taking a last look at the sun she left the room, and closed the door with a snap!
~*~Galatea~*~
'This is the most beautiful place I've ever been in' I thought to myself. I walked down the corridor, and looked out of a large window, I was very high from the ground. Even if I was to fall out of the window! I wouldn't mind this place is like heaven! I started walking again.
' Since the prince was not around,'I thought, 'I had now as free time. So,why not look through the palace!'
I looked down a corridor, no one was a round, so I walked through. Painting, such as I had never seen before, the art work, so detailed. Fountains, springs, and waterfalls! All so beautifully well done.
I was very good at art and painting, but whoever did these has to be the best round. All the colours, and the shadows. I would love to paint someting so great that it could be possibly
hung in a palace such as this! It would be a dream come true.
"Excuse, me but are you Miss Galatea?" someone said.
"Yes! I am Galatea Ophelia" I answered. I did not know why she wanted me or who she was a that matter.
"You will need to come with me. Your master the Prince has returned home!" she told me. I followed her, but not knowing where we were going, as to if were going to see the prince or what was going on.
We walked down many, many, stairs and corridors. Trying to remember every sigle turn and twist, but finally I gave up to much work for how many turns there were. At last, the strange woman stopped in front of a door, it was engraved with elvish words, which read:
Legolas Greenleaf
PRINCE of MIRKWOOD
Bestows Here
'I wonder if this is Legolas' chamber' I thought, 'Duh, it say "bestows here"' a vouice in my head said.
'Would you stop with the vouices!' I said or actually thought it. I think I might be going mad I talk to myself, aloud and inside my head. I have these weird dreams all the time, too. But lets not talk about that.
"Miss Ophelia, this is Legolas Greenleaf, the Prince of Mirkwood" she said, intentionally emphasizing words like Legolas, Prince, and Mirkwood.
He was sitting in a hand carven chair, "Hello, Miss...?" he said, standing up. I was guessing that wanted to know my first name.
"Galatea" I told him in a faint vouice!
"Beautiful name, after a moon, is it?" he asked me.
"Yes, one of Jupiter's moons!"
He embraced my hand in his and kissed it gently. I slightly pulled my hand away. I curtsied, before him, but he waved his hand as to stop!
"Well, I'll leave you to it!" the woman said leaving. I did not know what 'I'll leave you to it' meant and if she was even talking to me!
"Goodbye, Love" Legolas said waving his hand.
I wonder what he meant by 'love'!
"Won't you sit down?" he asked.
I nodded my head, I really don't have any clue to why I did. As I sat he came back to his own chair so that he could face me.
He surveyed me, like he could see my thoughts. 'I don't like this,' I thought, 'I wish that he'd stop!'
As I thought that, like he could read my mind he stopped and looked out his window.
"Where are you from?"
"I don't k-know, my lord" I answered him. Not knowing where you're from, I don't think that I should have said that!
"Why, don't you. Were you born, in Mirkwood?" he asked again. His questions were starting to really annoy me.
"I just don't know, my lord. I've never known, sire!" I was now very angry, I mean not at him, but at myself, for not knowing my own birth place. I guess it showed on my face, because he stopped. I really didn't intend on that happening!
~*Legolas*~
She's angry with me I can tell, this always happens. I always have to ask questions like that. I should have stopped, this is exactly what happened to the last servent. I just kept on asking questions, and she left. ' I really hope she dosen't leave.' I thought. My father wouldn't be too happy!
"Well, umm...where were you..working last" I asked breaking the erie silence.
"At the House of Elrond, I was his cook" she said, I could tell she wanted to be back at the House of Elrond. Almost all the girls in the cottage would give anything to do anything I told them. But I don't think she was one of them!
'Maybe she is just really shy,' I thought, 'no prabably not she just dosen't want to be here.'
"Is there anything you need my lord?" she asked me. This time she was looking me in the eye unlike before, just staring at her feet.
"No, you may go back to you room, if you like" I told her. I knew she wanted to leave but she didn't. She just sat there.
"I'd rather stay here," she said, "I'm afraid I'd get lost trying to fing my way back. And then I'd have to come back later." She look a little confused. I guess Love decided to bring her the long, way.
"Miss Ophelia, Love, didn't by any chance bring you up any stairs now did she" she look even more confused, she tilted her head to the right, as to show bewilderment.
"Yes, several! Why do you ask?"
"Because, your chamber is just down the corridor, and to the left." I told her laughing.
"But why all the stairs and corridors!" she slightly yelled, I don't if she was yelling at me or just yelling.
"Everytime someone new comes to work here, Love, always dose that"
"But why? And why Love" Galatea asked me. I surely thought Love would tell Galatea her name. But it seems she didn't so I would have to!
"Love, is her name! And she dose it for fun, like a joke. I guess?"
"Why would she have a name like 'Love'?"
It seemed she wasn't angry about what Love did. Now she wanted to know the name! 'She is like the wind,' I thought,'firce one miniute calm the next!'
"Most of the workers here have names like hers! Love, Joy, and Hope! I don't particulary like them myself." I explained.
~*Galatea*~
'Why on earth would they be named after emotions.' I thought. 'I'd better not risk it and ask!'
"Well, then if my room is only down the corridor and to the left! I'd better be off." I said, giving him a weak smile and leaving the room!

Q.
Eliminate all the days of the week except for
one, and to be forthright about it, this day is
NOT the day after Sunday or the day before
Wednesday, and it can't be that Satuday is
tomorrow, nor can it be that Saturday was
yesterday, and it most certainly couldn't be
two days before yesterday, and while we're at
it, let's eliminate Thursday. So, what day is
it?
_______________________________________________________________________________
A/N: Well, its longer! I am a Riddler so I ask you these questions! I will update quicker if a person answers it correctly, or I get more that 5 reveiws every chapter! Oh, and chamber is like their bebroom!
Another question:
How do you like my writing skills?
