~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Walking out into the clearing, she spied large bushes of berries and plants that she was in search of. She was singing softly to herself while picking berries from the bushes and digging up plants putting them into her basket. The berries where rip and would be wonderful for the feast that night, and the plants were needed in the apothecary for healing those that where injured. She knew what plants which awoke the unconscious, drowned out pain, and which ones brought on feelings of pleasure.
Once her basket was full she headed back off for the palace to deliver the things she found. She heard a noise that was so quite no animal could have made it or fearsome spider. She walked slowly now, fully aware of all her surroundings. Her elf ears picked up on soft footsteps following behind her. Stopping she turned, hoping of catching whomever was behind her. Nobody was there and it looked as if nobody was ever there. A leaf fell silently to the ground as proof that someone was there. Looking up into the trees she saw the tip of a yellow feathered arrow. "You may be silent, but not invisible. Get down from that tree and show yourself." A young elf jumped out of the tree and stood before her. He wasn't much older than she was but slightly taller and broader. It took her a few moments to realize that she was standing in front of the Prince of Mirkwood and the one who the feast was to be in honor of. He had just come back from months away guarding the boarders of the forest from spiders, and other foul creatures. "If I knew it was you I would not have dared to speak like that to you my Prince." She bowed her head as was customary, and silently cursed she for speaking before looking.
"It is my fault; I should not have been hiding in trees." He did not know who this elf was, or why she was out in the forest alone, but he knew that he saw her before. Her ice blue eyes looked like the blue of the sky during brighter years, and her hair flowed down her back like a golden stream. A blue dress matching her eyes was slightly dirty and ragged around the edges but none the less stunning on her. It flowed around her legs and clung to her curves. "Do not fret over it Prince. I was just out getting berries for the feast tonight and gathering plants for the apothecary." She bowed and left him standing there alone, lost in her beauty.
