Prologue:

Two figures were riding in the dark, one a lot smaller than the other. They were both covered by black cloaks covering their faces, making it hard to see them. The smaller figure was riding a black horse with a white hoof and a white star on its forehead. The bigger one was riding a chestnut-brown horse with a blonde mane and tale. There were headed for Mirkwood.

'Mamma why do we have to leave? Why can't we stay at home in… peace, if that's what you call it?' The small figure asked

'Serenity, I've told you already. I have to take you somewhere safe' the taller figure, her mother, told her.

'But why can't I go with you? I know you; you wouldn't go somewhere where it's not safe. And besides, there is no safer place for me then by your side.' She tried to argue.

'Serenity,' the tall figure sighed, 'Where I am gong is definitely not safe' She pointed.

'Then why are you going?'

'I have to'

'Why?'

'It doesn't matter why. All that matters is that I may or may not return and that you are safe from harm.'

'Then why not take me to Rivendell? You're always telling me how safe it is there and how no evil can enter!'

'Riven dell is almost abandoned.'

'Why? Why won't you tell me?'

'You are too young to understand. There is one more thing you need to know. I may not return.'

The small figure, Serenity, lifted her hood. She was only a young elf, by the age of eight (what's that in elf years?). She had silvery-blue hair that was in odangos. She had blue eyes, full of sorrow for being pulled apart from her mother.

'Serenity! Put your hood back on!'

'No! If I might not see you again, then let me see your face one last time. Please!'

'Not now, wait 'till we reach Mirkwood. Put your hood pack on.'

'Fine' She said angrily from loosing to her mother, yet again. She put her hood over her head. There was now no trace of her being the same person of who she was.

They rode on into the night. Eventually, they reached Mirkwood. Thranduil was waiting for them with (an eight year old- again I don't know how old that is in elf-years) Legolas. Serenity and her mother lifted their hoods.

'Thankyou for giving Serenity a place to stay.' Her mother said to Thranduil.

'It is no problem at all.' He replied.

Serenity and Legolas where staring at each other with mixed looks of puzzlement and curiosity.

{Who are you?} A female voice rang through his head. He knew it was the girl but he couldn't reply, he couldn't speak telepathically.

{Legolas Greenleaf} The voice said. He nodded in reply. "How does she do that? She is only as old as me!"

{It flows through my blood.}

"And she can read thoughts?!"

{No, I can read your thoughts. Don't ask me how I just know exactly what you're thinking.}

"So I'm telepathically speaking to you?"

Legolas' question remained unanswered for Serenity's mother interrupted.

'Good bye, Serenity' She said. Serenity Jumped onto her and hugged her mother as tight as she could. She didn't want her to go. After all, it might be the last time she'll see her again. But because Serenity was tired, her grip wasn't as tight as it could be. Her mother was able to pull her off.

'Amin mela lle, yelda, but I must leave' (I love you daughter. It might be wrong, I don't know elvish very well, all I know is from other stories if anyone wants to tell me any more then feel free to email me: morganaalex@hotmail.com)

'But why mumma?'

'You will find out when you are older'

'But-'

'Farewell, my child' She mounted her horse. She said it again, before disappearing into darkness.

"Mark my words, mumma, I will find out." She promised herself.

'Fear not, child. Your mother will return' Thranduil told her

Serenity dare not say anything but she was thinking over what her mother told her.

'She might not return. I may only be young, but I am not dumb.' She blurted out.

Thranduil ignored her. 'Child, you must be tired. If you come with us, I can show you your room'

Serenity would argue back, but she was too tired to. They went back to the castle (or whatever you call it). Serenity's room was next to Legolas'. The door was in the left corner (but still on the south wall). A little further up was a wardrobe, painted white. Beside the wardrobe was a bookshelf, stacked with books. On the opposite side of the entry wall, there was a window, which almost took up the whole wall and in front of it was a two-seater lounge. On the other side of the window was a dresser; a mirror was attached to it.  Beside the dresser was a neatly made bed ready for her to sleep.

She took off her cloak and dropped her pack: they could wait till morning. Then she hoped on her bed, pulled the covers up and almost immediately went to sleep.+
