"The Fellowship" A tale of Middle-Earth

Ryan walked down the hall, and opened the door to the council room. "Excuse me ... but Graziel and I wanted to speak with Sara."

Legolas nodded. "That would be fine my friend."

Sara looked to Legolas, and bowed. "Thank you for your time and company .. and for the gift ... "

Sara walked along with Ryan, until they came to Graziel and Alia. "hello my friends."She said, then bowed. "What is it that you wished to see me for M'lords and m'lady?

Graziel looked to her. "We're going to have a council .. but I supposed we'd better wait until frank comes back. They are going to set Pavilions for Alia, Ryan, and I down at the base of the tree. There is not enough room for Frank, so he will have to accomidate himself. Legolas has some royal chambers made for you princess. Well, I am going to explore." With that Graziel dissapeared into the forest.

Sara looked to Ryan. "You should let me heal that wound."

he shook his head. "I am fine, it should be healed by tomorrow."

Legolas stepped out ,and looked to him. "Ah .. my friend .. you really should allow the princess to heal you. This place is good at healing .. and the princess is mighty good at healing now."

Sara spoke softly. "If you do not want me to heal you M'lord, I wont."

Ryan looked into her eyes. "No, you can heal me. I will stop being stubborn now."

She looked at him, and nodded slightly. "Lets get out of here and see if we can find a stream or something so we can clean the wound." She looked at the bloody gash on his arm.

Legolas looked to Sara. "Ryan and his human friend are allowed to roam anywhere within the city walls. If you want to be alone and think, just ask my guards. they will take you to a private place that is only open to me."

****
Frank was sitting down towards the edge of he city wall. He was under a brach of a tree, and holding his katana in his hands. He missed it's mate, and the shiny gold of them.

"my preciousses ... why did you have to leave me?" He sighed, and kissed the tip ofthe sword. He missed his wolf companion. They had been friends for many a long years since he had come apon the sword. He blinked and looked up to Legolas who had come up to him while he was looking at the sword.

"Hello my human friend,"he said, and smiled to him. "Why don't you go and rest? All of Lorien is open to you on your stay here. I daresay you should find some comfort within these giant walls."

Frank got up, and slid the sword into his sheath. "I will find no comfort or rest here."He stalked off back towards the main part of Lorien.

Ryan started to juggle 3 grapes. He did it consecutavley, then flipped them into the air, and opened his mouth, and they fell in. He had a lot on his mind, and he took the blade out of his sheath again. There was a lot on his shoulders now, and only two peole so far knew about it. The princess knew the words on the blade, but did not know the blade itself. He looked up as legolas came back to them. He then grabbed one more grape, and ate it. He slid the blade back into his sheath.

Sara gulped, and looked to Legolas. She wondered if she should even be touching him, as she put her arms around his neck, and hugged him. SHe spoke softly. "thank you m'lord."

THey both watched alia get up, and go into the pavillions and she fell asleep quickly. Legolas wandered off again, as Sara and ryan went to the edge of a river, and she baegain to heal him.
****
Alia cursed as she woke from her sleep, and picked up her bow. She grabbed her arrows, and went into the forest to practice. She cursed again as she kept missing her target. Why was it that she could hit the target when she wasn't thinking about it, but when she was she couldn't seem to even get luck and hit it!

That's when Legolas came into the clearing. "hello little friend." He said, smiling. He counciled her on why she was missing it. Then he walked up to her, and pointed at the target. "hit it." He said.

She blinked, and took her bow with shakey hands. IT was not enoug that she could not hit the target, but now she was going to embaress herself in front of the great Lord Legolas, one of the best bow there ever was. She took an arrow out, and knocked it shakily against the bow. She held up the bow, and got ready to shoot the target, but she had much trouble getting her hands to stop shaking.

Legolas screamed ."BOO!!!!!!!" He smiled watching her jump and scream the arrow flying from her bow into the target .. a bullseye. She blinked, and smiled.

They Smiled at each other, and began to drink the wine of the river. She could now see more then the normal eyes of elves could see. "Wow! This is amazing!" She exclaimed. She picked up the bow, and knocked another arrow. She closed her eyes, and let the arrow flight, and it twanged into the target.

And so the great friendship of Legolas and Alia began.

Sara sighed as she walked down the river. Ryan had been healed, and now was resting in a pavillion. She looked up at the moon and stars. She then sat beside the river. She sighed looking at the water. She yawned, and took off her pack, and placed it on the ground. She felt dirty after all the fighting. She stepped out of the dirty clothes, and placed them to the side. She walked slowly into the water. She was happy now, and she watched the moonlight-beams dance on the morning water around her. She worried about her friends, and hoped they were okay.

Legolas' voice came to her. "Princess .. will you be joining us for the central parties?" He stood by the river bank.

She blinked, and yelped slightly. She then moved behind a rockthat was protruding from the water, so she could hide. She looked over to Legolas. SHe spoke in a shaky voice. "parties?"

He nodded. "Yes, the parties are to brighten hearts for the night from worried thoughts so that our minds can be cleared, and used to think clearly again later.
***
Ryan came out of the pavillions, and over to Alia who he saw entering hers. "I'm going back to the main part of Lorien. I wanted to know if you wanted to come as well. I heard there is going to be a party."

She smiled, and leaned her bow against a tree. "Sure!" She walked with him to the middle ofthe city, and smiled as the city lights were dimmed, then turned into soft blues. orage, red, green, and purple fires burned aroudn the trees in the center ofthe city. Large tables filled with food of all different kinds, and goblest, and drinks were stationed around the seating area. Andin the center, people danced. Peopled talked, and laughed. Songs were sung, and music was the air.

Sara could be seen walking towards the pavilions in a nice white dress, with silk stichings. She smiled as Legolas appeared, dressed in large flowing gold robes. He walked to Sara. "hello princess, glad you could join us." He slipped his arm around hers, and lead her off towards the center of the city. Everyone was there except Frank. "This will be the most joyful party we've ever had. We have tried to make this party the most beautiful in al lthe land, and we couldn't until now, when a face like yours is shown." He watched Sara blush.
***

Frank sat in the forest again, sighing, when an elven guard came up to him. "Hello sir, would you like to attend the party tonight?"

Frank blinked, and looked at him. "What party?"

"The Central land party, in the aprreciation of The Princess Sara." He said.

Frank looked to him. "no .. I'll be fine." The elve nodded, and departed.
***
Legolas led her up to the two largest seats behidn the tables. He sat in one, and pointed to the other. "That is the guest of honor's chair .. your chair." SHe sat down, and smiled. Her heart was lightening just watching the others party. Legolas looked to her. "So, how do you like the forest city M'Lady?"

Sara lagued lightly, and smiled to him. "The beauty and splendor of this far surpasses mine..."

"maybe in the blind eyes of men, but not in the truth filled eyes of elves. But of course, that's only because no man could look upon you without his eyes being burnt by such beauty."

She blinked, and shook her head, unable to wipe the smile from her face. She watched Ryan sitting at the table a few feet from her, as he sung. "O mor hebuib u dhu, Ely siriar el sila,Ai! Aniron undomiel, Tiro! El eria e mor. I 'lir en el luthia 'uren. Ai! Aniron." He looked over to her.

She smiled, and laughed lightly. "How did you speak like that?" He shruged, and replied "I have no clue."

She smiled again. "I know it's old elivsh .. but I never learned it ...."
And so the party continued like this for a little while.
