Hello!
Okay note time, Rainia is mine, everything else belongs to Tolkien. Although I would not mind owning Lord of the Rings, I don't. I know this chapter is REALLY short, but this was a good place to end it, and I didn't want to add anything else to this chapter. I promise the next one will be longer!!!
Thanks for r/r!
Love ya!

When the battle ended, the stench of flesh blood sifted through the air around them. The battle would have been deemed a success, except for the fact that during the confusion Frodo and Sam had left, leaving the fate of Middle Earth to themselves. They didn't want to be the cause of all of these people's deaths. It just wasn't worth it. It was today the remaining fellowship would part ways for a few weeks, Boromir needing the help of strong elfish medicine, and the others urging to continue to help the cause. It was decided that Legolas and Rainia would take Boromir to Mirkwood, to have him healed, and Aragorn, Merry, Pippin, and Gimli continue on to the city of Rohan. In a few weeks, Rainia, Legolas, and a healed Boromir would meet them at Rohan and then they would continue on from there. Although the decision wasn't entirely pleasing to Rainia, she would have to travel in company of Legolas, who she was still angry at. But she did as she was told.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two weeks of hard traveling went by, and the small band of friends had found their way into the halls of Mirkwood standing in front of the throne of their king. All three of the companions were weak and weary, they had covered many miles in a sort amount of time.
"Legolas, what are the names of your companions?" King Thranduil sat like a stone statue, not moving, he didn't even look like he was even breathing. Legolas nodded,
"This is Boromir from Gondor, his father is the chief leader of their country." Boromir smiled weakly, and Legolas continued, "we have brought him here because he is in need of medicine that we do not have on the trail."
"Then he shall receive the proper care here, who is your other companion?"
"Rainia, my name is Rainia." She spoke for Legolas, she never did appreciate someone else introducing her like she couldn't talk. King Thranduil looked confused,
"A she-elf?"
"Last time I checked, yes." Her old sarcastic tone came out, and Legolas gave her a quick warning glance. Since she was in presence of a king and in his city, he called the shots. If he didn't like her, she could be thrown in the dungeon. But the King just smiled, and whispered something to the guard on his left. But she could understand the King's confusion, her hair was pulled back and she despised dresses, so she wore what was traditionally a male's clothing.
"Well I welcome you, Rainia, I apologize for my mistake." He signaled two guards, "take the man, Boromir, to the healing wing."
"Yes, my lord." One of them replied, and they lifted Boromir so that he stood supported by their shoulders.
"Now, Lady Rainia, I am sure you would love to get out of those traveling clothes of yours, and into a gown, yes?" Rainia smiled faintly,
"I would love to," she forced the words out, trying to maintain a smile. Legolas held back his laughter, the words 'Rainia' and 'dress' were never used in the same sentence, except for the one 'Rainia hates dresses'.
"Good, then I shall send handmaids to your chambers to tailor one for you to go to dinner in."
"I can't wait," her old sarcastic self started to peek out again, but this time she didn't care. King Thranduil smiled and nodded to two handmaids standing nearby, who practically grabbed Rainia and dragged her away. Legolas smiled and followed her out, until he reached his old chambers. Her expression was priceless, to think a warrior like her afraid of a simple evening dress.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Legolas stood outside the door to Rainia's chambers, it was dinner time, and he didn't want to miss a chance to laugh at her before he would be in the presence of other elves who would fine his behavior unproper. He knocked slowly on the door,
"You couldn't pay me to wear this in public," Rainia's agitated voice came, but no Rainia.
"You do realize that if your not there, my father will notice."
"Tell him I died or something! Believe me, it could happen with this damn corset on!" She shouted as two very dressed up elves walked by, Legolas smiled and waved to them, turning slightly red at their stunned faces.
"Rainia, its one night, after this you will never have to wear a dress again, humor him." His words were soothing, he heard the doorknob turn and Rainia's head popped out, but she refused to let him see the dress.
"Promise?" Her voice sounded like a little girl's, innocent and pure.
"I promise, Rainia, you will never have to wear a dress again." She smiled,
"Alright, but if you laugh, you die." Legolas laughed a little,
"A little harsh, isn't it?"
"You think that's harsh, try wearing a corset!" She laughed, and opened the door to show herself. Legolas's brain seemed to stop working. She was beautiful. She had on a flowing red dress, that licked at her heels when she walked. Her hair was braided behind her, untwined with a silky red ribbon. It had been accented with long, golden strands of hair that contrasted with her hazel. The long, luxurious sleeves draped over her soft hands and cascaded downwards. He was in complete awe at her. "Err-Legolas, you're starting to scare me."
"Your beautiful," were the only words he could think of, but they were the truest words he had ever spoken in his long life. Rainia stared at him blankly,
"What? Did you say I was," she paused, "beautiful?" Legolas nodded, and leaned down his head towards hers, she didn't do anything to stop it, and instead she leaned her head up towards his. Their lips met for one stolen kiss. They pulled away reluctantly, and they looked into each other's eyes.
"Yes, I did, Rainia, yes I did."
