"Can we just go? I do not believe that he would care if we are here or
not, let's just go. He will know about it sooner or later," Alphelion
argued annoyingly at her friend.
"Since when did you lose all your civilized manners my lady?" replied the other female elf.
"Since I stepped into this dreadful place. I know that you will agree with me on that, wouldn't you Biendis?" the young she-elf asked.
"What is the meaning of this question? Are you suspecting something of me, my lady?" Biendis turned her face toward Alphelion and stopped from preparation of departure.
Alphelion chuckled softly as she walked toward Biendis and placed her arm around Biendis' shoulder, "It seems to be that you and the elf lord have known each other, is there something that I should know, my friend?"
Biendis moved away and tried to hide the redness on her cheeks.
"There is nothing more important than our business for Mirdonost, you should not be bothered, now let's get going, I believe that the horses and our belonging should be ready for our departure, and about the notice to the king, that is up to you to decided." Biendis tapped on Alphelion's shoulder and walked out from the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alphelion wander around the room for another minute, she walked out of the room and shut the door. As she turned to walk to the hall, she crashed into someone, making her fall to the floor. A hand reached down to pulled her back up. She took the hand and glanced up to see the person was surprisingly Legolas.
"You really need to watch where you are going my lady," he quipped as he pulled her up.
"I believe you have to say that yourself too, my lord because I was walking out from the room, as you can see I don't have eyes on the back of my head so that I can see who is sneaking up behind me," she shot back at him.
"This is my kingdom, I can do as I want and I can go any where I want without your knowledge, I didn't sneaking behind you as you said, I walked pasted your room and you happened to crash into me," he looked at her and continued "So you are leaving? Well, I take this opportunity to bid you farewell, Lady of Mirdonost" he turned away after he finished his sentence but was he stopped by her voice.
"I will wait for your terms in 2 weeks time my lord and I hope that you will keep your word," with that she walked pass him and out into the hall.
Legolas let out a soft sigh and shook his head. As he walked to the hall he was stopped by Altus.
"Is that the way for bid farewell to a lady, my friend?" Altus asked and grinned at Legolas.
"I think I've gotten enough harsh words from her, I don't think it would help if you added more." Legolas whispered to Altus.
"Well I'd better go to see them to the gate, do you want to come with me?" He asked eyeing him with curiosity.
"I think I'd better not, the she-elf will lash me with her tongue again if she sees my face and I have business to attend to, you go ahead and I'll see in you minute," he said as he walked back to his study.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Farewell Altus, I sense that I will see you again soon." Alphelion bid farewell to Altus and walked towards her stallion.
Biendis and Altus were standing alone while others had walked back to the palace and Alphelion was making ready for her departure. Altus scanned around to see that no one was looking at them and drug Biendis gently behind the tree.
"I will miss you like I always have when you are not here in my arms, looking into my soul, that belong only to you." Then he moved closer to her but he realized how hard it was to resist the urge of placing his lips on her own. But to his surprised Biendis grabbed his neck swiftly and placed a quick lock on his lips. They pulled apart, "Remember that one day when all this is over we will be together, but until then we do what we must, farewell my lord." Biendis walked away from the hiding place and jumped on her horse. She nodded towards Alphelion and they both rode off into the midst of the forest.

The journey was pleasant but tiresome; the ladies were pleased to see the gate of their kingdom. After they arrived, they both went to get some rest. An hour later they both were in library with Dealach and his advisors.
"The king of Mirkwood has agreed to consider the situation and he will present his terms in 2 weeks." Alphelion addressed the counsel.
"Sister, this is amazing, you have a great diplomatic flair, and you make a good ambassador." Dealach said with an unreadable smile.
Alphelion bows, "Thank you my lord, as I said before, I do what I must to protect Mirdonost from any kind of predicaments." She said that and sent a glare gaze to his brother.
Dealach looks away, "Well sister you have done well and your business here is done, now go and rest you have travel long." He dragged her to the door. Alphelion and Biendis walked out from the library.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time had come and the 2 weeks had passed, Legolas was standing right in front of the gate the of the kingdom that he had so despised.
"Welcome Legolas, King of Mirkwood, I Dealach, King of Mirdonost welcome you to Mirdonost." Dealach greeted Legolas.
"Thank you, this meeting won't be long for I will be leaving this evening." Legolas answered.
"Are you not staying for the banquet for your coming?" Dealach asked curiously.
"That will not be necessary because my terms will not be that pleasant. Now let's start our agreement for I do have other business to attend to." Legolas demanded.
Everyone walked towards the library and a moment later Alphelion and Biendis showed up. Legolas and Alphelion's gaze met, Alphelion felt a shiver run up her spine. 'Why is he staring at me like that?' she thought to herself. Alphelion and Biendis stood in the hallway and the group of men walked passed them into the library. However, Legolas and Altus manage to approach the ladies.
"I see you are keeping your promise well my lord." Alphelion sent the first word of greeting to Legolas.
Legolas chuckled quietly, "It's seems to be that your tongue is really consistent my lady, for every occasion of our meeting it tends to be the first thing to greet me harshly besides the glare which has the same potential," He quibbled back at her "but today you will see that I am capable of putting you it the same position that I have before, the battle is just starting, my lady."
"Since when did you lose all your civilized manners my lady?" replied the other female elf.
"Since I stepped into this dreadful place. I know that you will agree with me on that, wouldn't you Biendis?" the young she-elf asked.
