This chapter of this story is the background of the character that I have
created. In the chapters to come, maybe chapter 3 or 4, we will get to the
present time after the war of the ring. So please enjoy and there is that
important note that you must read. Please do not neglect to read it.
Disclaimer. Characters are not mine except Jael and Ethan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The young child ran through the forest as fast as she could, when she reached the spot that she was looking for she stopped to take in her surroundings. She stood by a river that ran through the middle of her lands. She was not but a young child of the age of 8. Her eyes were a red to match her dark red hair. She was waiting for someone to arrive noticing that she would be waiting for quite some time she sat down at near the edge of the water. The young child sat there waiting for such a long time that she lost count of the time and began to slowly slip of to sleep.
She was awoken by arms throwing her into the air and catching her again. Overwhelmed by the sudden pull from her dream the girl was unable to get a hold of her surroundings, then slowly she remembered where she was. She looked into the black eyes of a person much older than herself by a good 100 years. She squealed in delight and hugged him fiercely.
"Ethan I missed you so much." She said quickly. "Why is it that you have waited so long to return, why have you come late yet again." She asked.
"Jael I am sorry but these past months I have been very busy but at least I have not failed to see you at all this year my dear little sister. You know as well as anyone that I have been working hard at being a warrior my dear." Ethan said to her.
She only snorted at him and said, "You mean working hard at being an assassin." She then pried herself out of his grasp and turned her back to him for a moment until turning back to him. "Well you have wasted enough time by coming late so lets not waste the time that is left." She said with a small smile playing on her lips. They spent the rest of the day running around at the banks of the river.
As they collapsed at the hill near to the water Ethan decided to speak. "Jael you know that you must keep quiet about my coming here. The king and Queen have not been pleased with my field of work even though they know of none of it. They would rather have me tally around here and marry. Which I shall not do. They do not want me to be anywhere near you or for a matter of fact they do not want me in these woods. They have the ideals of the most ridiculous elves that I have ever met. To think that learning how to fight a wield a weapon is a sign of a short life. So they ban it. My dear sister do you understand the reason that we need-."
"Yes Ethan I know of what you speak." She said cutting him off from him talking so much. She got up to sit down in front of him. "You must learn to fight to be able to protect yourself and to protect me. This era that we live in is not one that we my carry on as if no harm can ever come to us." She spoke in a matter that she no longer seemed to be the child of 8 but of an adult of many years of knowledge and life. "To kill is to survive by dear brother if one does not know how to kill when the time calls for it they shall die. I must ask you Ethan to do something for me. She stated.
"What is it." He was barley able to get out to shocked by the words that had come out of his little sister's mouth.
"Promise me that you would never leave me, that you would protect me, and when the time comes and I ask it of you, promise me that you will take me away from this place to follow in the footsteps of you. To know who to survive. You see Ethan I know what it is that you are and what you do. You do not have to lie to me."
"And what is it that you know that I am and do child." He said.
"I know that you are trained in a way of fighting that your movements are barley visible to the eye. I know that you kill to the ones that pay you the highest. But then again it is killing to survive." Her eyes were boring into his. "I cannot stay here." She said then got up to leave. "are time is up Ethan. Your scout is awaiting you" she said noticing the elf standing a good distance away from them. She turned to leave but stopped to look at him while he turned his head to the cloaked figure in the trees. Then got up to meet him.
"You still have not answered my question Ethan." She said her voice back to its normal tone.
He turned to look at her in the eyes. "I could only promise you that I will protect you, never leave you and to take you away from these lands, but never would I let you become a ruthless assassin like I am. I shall return to you in 3 weeks time from today wait for my return." He then turned and left.
"Figured as much." She mumbled then turned to leave to go back home.

Jael got up early that morning the sun had not wet risen into the sky. She got up and took a bath. She almost forgot her brother meeting her today. She would have to find a way to skip around her handmaids and parents again. That was not a easy task they would all keep a eye on her for no reason, sometimes it would really get on her nerves. She became dressed into some clothes and went to take a quick walk around the palace. She waited a while sitting on the bench until the whole palace was awake. It was a very beautiful day but little did she know that it would not turn out all that good. Jael's eyes were large as she watched her family get brutally murdered in front of her eyes by orcs. She did not even know how it had started the only thing she could recall is hearing screams and the palace being flooded by the ugliest creatures in her life. Her mother grabbed her and pulled she to the back of the palace where the women of the royal palace stood horror plainly written on there faces. Jael was trust to the back of the group.
As the orcs came nearer to them Jael heard her eldest sister speak to her.
"You are young please be spared. Jael no matter what please keep on living." she whispered. The women pulled her to the back and put there arms around her. "Sakura." she only said. Her sister looked down at her. A small smile of sadness playing on her lips.
One woman got up and moved to the front. "Get away beast!" she said but before she could summon an attack the orcs sliced her across the chest. The lady screamed and the blood splattered on the other women on the floor. The orcs got near and started hacking blood spraying everywhere.
"Jael you must live she said and opened the Servant passageways and pushed her in the door and closed it after she was also inside. Jael could still see clearly as more of the women were slaughtered. Sakura grabbed her hand and ran down the passage ways. When they reached the door that led to the outside. Sakura still held on to her hand as they ran through the woods. Her elven eyes scanned the area around them. "Sakura," Jael panted. "The river, Ethan." was all she could manage to saw. Sakura turned her head back to her sister then went in the direction of the river. They passed near a settlement where there was fire everywhere.
As they reached the river Jael's eyes scanned the area again praying for Ethan to come. Jael's face was covered with blood. Sakura went over to her and picked her up and then waddled in to the water until they she was chest high in the water. Sakura had to hold onto Jael so that she would not drown under the water.
"What has become of us?" she whispered. "why has this disaster come upon us like a plague." tears flowing freely down her face. Jael wiped the tears from her sisters face. "do not fear Cherry blossom for Ethan will come and save us. He will kill all that has harmed our civilization. He will come." she whispered. Just as Sakura was about to answer another elvish woman ran out from the woods.
"oh no, she has led them to us." Jael whispered seeing the orcs running after her. Her and Sakura went back on shore to grab the woman. As the woman got to them they noticed that it was there aunt Lavaliere.
"no" Lavaliere said grabbed the two while throwing herself on top of them. "You two must stay alive for me." she whispered . "everyone else is dead. "you must live to keep our race whole. You must do this for me."
The orcs got near and grabbed their aunt by the hair and lifted her so that she was facing them. "Live for me." she whispered. Then the sword went through the woman' neck tears coming down her eyes. She grabbed the sword with her hands as the orc pulled it out. She fell to the floor where she was facing them.
"Live for me, please." she whispered blood spilling out of her mouth. The orc stabbed the sword in her chest and she died. The whole time Jael and Sakura were crying. The orc then turned it's attention on the two of them. Sakura wrapped her arm around Jael and held onto her as tight as she could. The two of them closed there eyes to shocked to move.
*~*~*~*~*~
IMPORTANT MUST READ!!!!!! The elf population that was just destroyed is called the Nathril Elves. They are elves that hold much power but they do not use it also the population is so small that it was never noticed by the other elves. Ethan is the son of the king and was completely against his fathers rules about them not wielding swords so he left and went under the mentorship of Meredith (he has a part to play later on so he will be explained probably in the next chapter. Meredith is a very good sword fighter he made his own style that is the most deadly used style on middle earth. He sends out minions that he has to go do jobs such as protect rulers of kill them. (So I hope that cleared up a few things, please if there is anything that you people do not get will please review my story. Ask it of me to explain and I will do all in my power to explain it to you.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sorry but the cliffhanger was so tempting that I had to do it.
Well people I know that you are wondering how the heck does this have to do with anything to do with Lord of the Rings But PLEASE TRUST ME IT WILL. THIS IS JUST THE START I WANTED YOU TO GET AHOLD OF THE CHARCTERS PAST SO THAT YOU COULD ATLEAST HAVE SOME BACKGROUND INFO. SINCE THIS PROBALY IS CONFUSING BUT I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU AS BEST AS I COULD. I will have the next chapter up as soon a possible.
