Chapter Six: Fight for Her Hand

   "What happened? The whole lot of you looked like death has fallen over us." Legolas asked concernedly.

  He had just came back from the forest. He felt renewed, refreshed, felt like a whole new person. It was like the meaning of life had came back to him.

  Gandalf, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Levena and Aquarelle looked at each other. They didn't know what to say. And they didn't want to talk to Legolas. The Legolas who had let Orchid, the sweetest girl ever, to go home all alone… with a broken heart.

  Gandalf cleared his throat. "I do have the urge to kill though." He looked menacingly at Legolas.

  Legolas took a step back. "Hey, what has happened? I don't remember offending anyone. I just came back from the forest, just dying to tell everyone about the woman of my dreams, and suddenly I have become public enemy number one."

  Aquarelle's eyes sparkled with interest. "Oh really? Tell me about this woman you talk about. Is she prettier than me?"

  Legolas flushed. "Truthfully, I don't even know how she looks like. I don't know whether it's love. Because this isn't even love at first sight, I never got the chance to see her, but somehow I feel like she's the one. The one I have been waiting for."

  "I only know that she's dark-haired. I remember her voice, silky, syrupy, just like honey. I don't remember her words. But when she talked, she seemed to be talking to my soul." Legolas laughed. " I never felt this way, and I don't know if I will feel this way for anyone again."

  Aquarelle and Gandalf looked at each other. Could it be? Could it be?

  "It might be a little too late." Aquarelle sighed.

  Legolas paused. His face paled. "I don't get what you mean."

  "I know who you are talking about. You are talking about my sister, Orchid. I'm afraid she has left this morning, to wed the most plain elf prince of all." Aquarelle said, her lips trembled slightly.

   "She has gone back to Pixiewood. And you may never get to see her again." Gandalf said soberly. But his eyes twinkled, like he wanted to tell Legolas something.

  Legolas was silent for a moment. And then he smiled at everyone. A smile so truth and warm, a smile that everyone hadn't seen for a long time. "I have been blind so long, but now that I can see, I know what I must do. I will ride to Pixiewood, and win her back!"

  And everyone knew then and there, the old Legolas was back.

  And none too soon too!

   Legolas would go first to Pixiewood on Gandalf's Shadowfax, and the rest of the gang will join him later.

   As Legolas was about to take off, Levena waved and stopped Legolas.

  She pulled Legolas' sleeves and whispered into his ear.

  "Let me tell you three important ways to win Orchid's heart. Look at her, and don't only see her face, but her heart and soul. Hear her, don't only her words, but her emotions and feelings. And when you have looked at her clearly, heard her clearly, pull her close to you and give her a kiss that she will never forget."

   And with those precious words, Legolas rode off to rescue his dear princess. The thought of losing never occurred to Legolas. To lose would be akin to stop breathing.

   Orchid looked at her father and mother in horror at what they had just suggested. "What? Have a competition? To win my hand? That's the worst thing I have ever heard!"

  "Outrageous. I will not be given out like a prize!" Orchid cried, her whole body shook in anger. "No way! I will never agree to it!"

  "Oh come on Orchid, you didn't think we would marry you off to that boring prince, Perger, did you?" Queen Edfina smiled sweetly at her second daughter. "Your father and I have discussed this and we think it would be the best way to get you a good husband! Besides, doesn't it sound so romantic and exciting?"

  Orchid wanted to laugh, because it was so morbidly funny. "Mother! I don't need a competition to get a husband! In case you didn't know, I'm not desperate at all to get married. In fact, I would be happier single!"

  "Now dear, that's not true." King Serwan smiled lovingly at Orchid. 'You will thank us when it's all over."

  Orchid could scream inwardly, as her parents planned the awful competition, which was a set of trials for some crazy prince who wants to marry her to complete, only the person who can finish all trials will get her hand.

  Orchid could do nothing since she did promised her parents she would marry. But she smiled comforting herself, perhaps no one would even enter the competition! After all, who would want to marry her?!

   Orchid was quite happy on the day of the competition. She was very confident that no one would enter at all. She decided that after all this commotion, she would travel to some famous forests and spend the rest of her life with trees.

  Unfortunately, NOTHING went as Orchid had planned.

  An astonishing number of one hundred elf prince arrived on that day to fight for her hand!

  Orchid had to be revived (she fainted, it was just too much for her) two times as she saw the prince come into the kingdom and sign up.

  "I don't understand, who would want to marry me!" Orchid said confusedly to her mother, who was happily checking up all the princes.

  "That's your problem, dear." Queen Edfina said seriously at Orchid. "You sell yourself short. Be more confident, look at yourself, and you can see what everyone sees, someone really special."

  Orchid looked at her mother, her cheeks pink. "But still, I don't plan on marrying any one of the princes."

  Queen Edfina smiled. "We will see. There are some really cute princes out there you know. If I was only a thousand years younger……"

Orchid laughed. It didn't matter even if there were so many princes. She had after much effort convinced her parents to let her set the seven trials, and she had set the HARDEST most IMPOSSIBLE to COMPLETE trials in the whole damn universe. NOBODY could ever complete all seven trials, thus Orchid smiled happily, she was safe and free……

  King Serwan and Queen Edfina smiled to each other, in that sweet lovey-dovey manner of theirs that gave everyone goose bumps. "We would like to announce the start of the Prince Charming competition for our dear daughter, Princess…"

  "Wait!"

  Everyone paused and turned to see who it was.

  They gasped.

  Although he wasn't as impeccably groomed as usual, and he looked like he had been traveling non-stop for many days. He still looked incredibly gorgeous and everyone knew who he was. The most eligible and wanted elf prince ever….

   Orchid almost fainted a third time. It couldn't be….

  But it was….

   Legolas.
