For so long, I wanted to know who my father was. Yet I did not expect it
when he showed up on the doorstep of our kingdom. He did not recognise me
and he did not know who I was. My mother explained...........
Emilia sat on the steps of her great-uncle's kingdom. She was bored and had nothing to do. None of her friends from the village wanted to play. She looked out past the village and looked at the great land. She squinted her eyes and saw four men on horses. "Mother! Mother! There are four men riding this way," said Emilia. Eowyn, her mother, looked and stared. Oh no, thought Eowyn, Aragorn has returned. "Emilia, dear. Please go to your room for a while," said Eowyn. "Mother!!!" exclaimed Emilia, "I am not five years of age. I am twenty years of age." "Just go inside please. I do not want you out here," said Eowyn. With a sigh, Emilia picked herself up and walked inside.
She ran to her bedroom window. An elf, a dwarf, a human and a wizard, she thought. She saw her mother talking to the human. They were very close together so that no one would be able to hear the conversation.
Eowyn talked to Aragorn as he came up the path. "Why are you here?" asked Eowyn. "Our race is under a huge threat. We need help," said Aragorn. "After twenty years. You left me with the baby and ran off with that elf. You never travelled to see your daughter. She is twenty years old now and she does not anything about you," said Eowyn. "I am very sorry, Eowyn. I did not mean to hurt you. I would like to see her, though," said Aragorn. "I will think about it," said Eowyn, "But for now come in."
The men and Eowyn walked into the big hall, where King Theoden sat with his messenger, Wormtongue. Emilia came out of the room, just as Gandalf was working off Saruman's spell. Eowyn had run to stop Gandalf and Aragorn stopped her. Emilia ran to get Aragorn's hands of her mother but the elf stopped her. She looked up at him. "Please. Do not be afraid. I am Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood," Legolas said politely. "I am Emilia. My great-uncle is King Theoden. May I ask a question?" asked Emilia. "Of course," said Legolas. "Why are you here?" she asked. "We need help. A big war is about to start and we need soldiers and men to fight with us," said Legolas. Emilia nodded her head. She did not mind being held by the very politely and very handsome looking elf. Gandalf had done his job and it worked. The King was back and Wormtongue was banished.
Later that afternoon, Emilia sat outside the village with her new found friend, Legolas. They sat on the grasslands with white lily flowers surrounding them. "How old are you?" asked Legolas. "Twenty," said Emilia, "How old are you?" "Three thousand, seven hundred and fifty three years old," said Legolas. "Wow. Your a lot older than I am," said Emilia. "Do you have a father? I have not seen you with your father yet," asked Legolas. "I do not have a father. My father got my mother pregnant and left her and ran away with another girl," explained Emilia. "Oh. I am sorry," said Legolas "Do not be sorry. I am fine. I wish that one day I could meet him," said Emilia. Legolas looked at her as she looked at the flowers and started to pick them. She kind of looks like Aragorn, thought Legolas, Is Aragorn her father? Emilia picked up the flowers. They smelt so fresh and beautiful. "What is Mirkwood like? I have heard from rangers that it is a beautiful forest with beautiful white leaves," said Emilia. "Well Mirkwood has no white leaves but it is like a forest in there," said Legolas. Emilia looked at Legolas' deep blue eyes. How can an elf have such big beautiful eyes, she thought, they are wonderful. Legolas loved Emilia's beautiful big brown eyes. She looked at the flowers again and put his hand on her face and leaned forward. He kissed her on her cheek and went to her lips. She kissed him back with delight and put her arms around his neck
