A/N: Okay everyone, I wasn't gonna have this chappie in the first place,
but I felt like writing something straight from my head to the comp, so,
yeah! Have fun!
A/N: I am fully aware that this story is a very good example of a Mary Sue, so you don't have to rub it in, OK? Something else, constructive criticism is VERY welcome. Meanwhile, flames are just ignored.

Chap 5 Talented
Meldávanë had just woken up. She focused her eyes again, stood up and walked to the washing basin.
Her room was lovely. It had white marble floor and a huge balcony looking over the whole of Rivendell (A/N: Remember the one on Chap 1?). Her bed was made of cherry wood, and so were her desk, dressing table, wardrobe and chair. The roof was flat, with beams zigzagging through it, and all of the beams beautifully carved with elfish runes and drawings. Her balcony had a marble handrail that was also carved with elfish runes, but Meldávanë made these herself. She had asked permission of her father to carve it in. They were poems and some of them drawings of her own.
Meldávanë went to the washing basin and washed her face and hands and dried herself with a white towel. She went to her wardrobe and picked out green leggings with embroidered leaves entwined from her waist to her calves. She also picked out a green blouse. She put these on with a few quick movements and she brushed her hair back and put it up on a low ponytail. She took off her emerald necklace that she always had on and walked out of her room.
She ran through 3 corridors then made a sharp left then another left and went into the first chamber to the right. It was the weapon room. The weapon room was quite plain. It had a cold black floor and white walls with many weapons lined up against the wall it. She picked up her sword, which she had named Meetimadana. Meetimadana was made of a very light material, but it was as hard as dragon's skin and a sharp as dragon's teeth. It had elfish runes carved in it saying, 'May you protect yourself wisely and directly'. Meldávanë had got the sword when she was 950 years old from her father, for he believed she needed to be able to defend herself when in trouble. Elrohir and Elladan had taught her how to wield it and they both agreed she was very talented in swordsmanship. She also picked up her bow and quiver. Her bow was made of cherry-wood and her quiver was made of the finest leather. She had 20 arrows in it, and at the tip, there was a small piece of emerald stone. The feathers on the other tip were blue and green. Elrohir had taught her how to use the bow and arrow, but Legolas gave her tips every now and the, and with time, her aim was, now, about as accurate as his. Elladan had given the cherry-wood bow for her thousandth birthday and Elrohir the quiver also on her thousandth birthday. She had made the arrows herself, with some help of Telempenarmo, one of her warrior friends of Lorien. Before she went out of the room, she took out all of the emerald tipped arrows of her quiver and put in a few practice ones.
After Meldávanë had gathered all the things she needed she ran to the practice field and went to the target area. There, she put down her sword, but picked up her bow and quiver. She knocked an arrow on her bow and shot the target. The arrow flied and found the exact middle of the target. Meldávanë heard some clapping and turned around to see her friend Oirauur.
Oirauur was a type of ranger, if you can call him that. He travelled quite a lot and barely saw his old friends. One of the friends he missed the most was Meldávanë. He helped Elrohir and Elladan teach her how to wield a sword and how to use a bow. He was one of her helpers, so to say. He also taught her many tricks with the sword, and now, they were both about equal with their sword skills.
Meldávanë saw him and yelled out, "Oi! Come over here and let's have a quick duel. No touching, understood?" She laughed out loud and ran to hug him.
He laughed as well and said, "You're on!"
Meldávanë put her bow and quiver down and got her sword. She took the sword out of the cover and whispered some words in elfish. "Na orna, na anwa! be hasty, be true"
"You still do that?" asked Oirauur.
"It has become a very useful habit, you know. It seems to work!"
"Well, not today!"
"Let's see. What will the loser do?"
"Be the first one to get food today!"
"That is fine by me. I do not get hungry easily, and my last meal was yesterday's supper."
Oirauur laughed. "Titta er little one, you are NEVER hungry, it seems, yet you are always energetic. You really should eat a bit more!"
"Oira, we are elves. Elves do not need that much food!"
"Melda, it is still good for us!"
"Let's stop discussing and start duelling. Get into your position, Oirauur Redfire and I may show some mercy to thee."
"Meldávanë Goldenmoon, take back thy words and thou shall not be hurt."
"You wish, Oira!"
And Meldávanë swung her sword up in the air and brought it down, but Oirauur was quick and blocked her. He took a swing at her from the right, but she blocked it. They continued a fast game of swing and block for quite a long time, until Meldávanë took a quick dive to Oirauur's left and put her knife on the back of his neck.
"Surrender!" she hissed.
"I surrender, Meldávanë Goldenmoon!"
"Good! I'm getting better at this, if I actually won from you!"
"You are getting VERY good. I never thought you would get this good, to tell you the truth, Melda. You are quite talented at this."
"I learned from the best!" she said, then winked.
Oirauur laughed and hugged her tight. "I missed you, titta er."
"I missed you too! What have you been doing? You've been away for such a long time!"
"I have been protecting Middle-Earth from terrible things. Many orcs have attacked placed close to Rivendell, I've been driving them away from here."
"Good! I don't think I would like to meet an orc. For how long do you plan on staying, Oira?"
"Not long. I think I shall have to go tomorrow."
"So soon! You shall have to tell me the time now, so I can be there when you go away! I really miss you when you are away."
"I plan on leaving tomorrow at midday. I shall call you when I go. You have no idea how much I mss you when I go away. Soon enough, you will be able to accompany me in on of my quests. If Elrond lets you. He is quite protective of his youngest one!"
"Yes, that is true. And it would fill my heart with joy to go with you in one of your adventures!"
"Melda, I think it is time for us to go. The sun is high and Elrond still doesn't know I am here."
"Yes, let's go. But don't forget, I get to have the food before you!"
"Alright, titta er."
"Hey! I'm not that small! I'm about your size, Oira."
"Fine! How about alta er big one?"
"Um, never mind. Just keep it titta er!"
"Let us go now!"
Meldávanë put her sword away and picked up her bow and quiver. They walked side by side and told each other news that they missed until they got to Elrond's house.
