The sun rises over the misty mountains. We followed the Orcs for five days
now trying to destroy their whole existence. Since the mighty ones brought
down the power of the dark lord we have had twenty years of peace, but a
new threat has been created. Hundreds of villages and thousands of men have
been killed in raids. They ran them down and killed each and every one of
them leaving non-alive, non but my brother and me. I was only a baby, a
couple of years old about two, my brother barely a year. I remember that
day clearly in my mind. They came at about midnight, there was screaming
and shouting escaping was only a panic to those that did not know the area.
My mother in her terror fled out of the house right into the heart of the
invasion instantly killed. My father the leader of my village had known
every possible escape. He grabbed me and my brother and lead us right into
Mirkwood forest. The Orcs were not far behind I can still hear my baby
brother crying at the loss of our mother. After running for a while my
father decided that he must go back and fight the Orcs. He left my brother
and me in a cove hoping that the elves will have mercy on us and take us in
as one of their own. Lucky for us they did. In my terror and utmost
exhaustion I feel asleep nestled next to my brother. We were awaken by a
band of elves, maybe about five together. We were taken to their elf lord.
Legolas. After his father's death and betrayal of his brother Melios,
Legolas took up the throne and proved to be mighty indeed. He took pity on
us and raised us as his own. His own child, Aralas, had been our tutor and
trainer. We were given names when we proved worthy of living among elves. I
was named Laiwen the Green Maiden, and my brother Beren after the great
mortal that married Luthien the elf maiden. I was trained for battle fierce
as any other elf, even the great Legolas.
I was going to avenge my mother and father's death, and the others that have died merciless by the orcs. So we made it our mission. Together the four of us. Laiwen, The Green Maiden, my brother Beren, Aralas, the Elven Prince, and our closest friend and companion Elios, cousin of Aralas.
