Legolas gazed at the she-elf. So this was the greatest female warrior
that everyone was talking about. But this couldn't be her. This girl was
innocent, kind, and warm. The warrior's rumors said that she was fierce and
brutal. They could not be the same person.
Legolas did, however, see the beauty they mentioned. She had amber
colored hair that fell just past her shoulders. It was pulled back on top
and the bottom layer lay loose around her neck, and shone in the afternoon
sun. Legolas also saw a golden eagle feather clipped to her hair and hung
over the ponytail.
She was clad in an color changing cloak. The colors were magnificent!
It was sometimes golden, brown, or even green! She also had a leaf green
tunic underneath the cloak that Legolas could see peeking through. The top
half rested on her left shoulder only. The cloth hung off her shoulder a
few inches and was neatly torn. It went from her shoulder to her right arm,
at a gentle slant the whole time. It rested neatly under her arm. I clung
semi-tight, but stayed loose enough to be a graceful elf. A belt that
matched her hair in color was clasped around her waist, and had no real
use, except beauty, that Legolas could see. The bottom half came down right
above her knees and lay neatly shredded, matching the shoulder. The cloak
came down about an inch above where her boots ended.
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Legolas. She moved her
horse over to the tree Legolas was standing in and looked up.
"What are you doing? Were you spying on me? Do you know who-Legolas?"
She strained her head to get a better look. "Legolas! It is you!"
"She-elf, I should be asking you if you were spying on me! How else
would you know my name?" Legolas said, taken aback that she knew his name
and momentarily forgot about the beauty he saw in her.
The elf pulled her head back at Legolas's remark and said, "Do you
not recognize me? It is Amadriel!"
Legolas replied, "I know of no Amadriel.but wait, I've heard that
name.perhaps in a dream." He mumbled, thinking aloud.
Amadriel suddenly looked very hurt, and quickly galloped away,
leaving Legolas to wonder about the mysterious she-elf and how she knew
him.
