"Lady Alatariel! Please wake up!" said an urgent voice. Alatariel rolled over trying to ignore the urgent calls from her maid Saralonde.
"You need to wake up milady! Lord Elrond requests your presence in the dining hall immediately," said Saralonde desperately.
"Why?" mumbled Alatariel unwillingly sitting up her eyes half open.
"Because milady Lord Thranduil and Prince Legolas have arrived! Lord Elrond is very unhappy that you missed their arrival" explained Saralonde pulling out a beautiful dark blue dress with a gold belt with matching gold slippers from her cupboard.
"Oh no! I forgot, what about Elladan and Elrohir are they here?" asked Alatariel not trying to think of her father, he was going to me furious.
"They arrived at dawn milady! Now please dress!" pleaded the maid. Alatariel leapt off the bed in an in a not very princess like manner and pulled the dress on quickly. She slipped on the shoes and brushed her hair leaving it out. She quickly walked to the dining hall her silky dark red hair swaying as she walked.
"I see your finally awake Alatariel, do sit down" said Elrond as soon as she had opened the door. Very aware that very ones eyes were on her she sat down quickly next to Elrohir.
"May I introduce Lord Thranduil and his son Legolas" said Elrond smiling, but though he was smiling he had small fire in his eyes which told Alatariel that she was in trouble.
"Ah such a beautiful sight makes my day even better" complimented Thranduil.
"Thank you sir" she said smiling gratefully.
"And mine" said Legolas. She turned her head to see Legolas for she did not remember what he looked like. She did not get a very good look of him in their previous brief meeting years ago. But as she faced him she was momentarily stunned, he could be mistake for an angel. His skin was a rich ivory and blended perfectly well with his sea blue eyes and gold hair.
But did she care? Not at all, she could care less of what this elf look liked. For all she knew he could have bedded with one of the maids after unpacking his things. She gave him quick cold look; he looked quite surprised but did not say anything. She was going to make sure that he was not going to get away from
Conversation in the dining hall that morning was mainly about the two elves from Mirkwood and their journey. As soon as breafkast was over she quickly excused herself and walked briskly into the gardens. But as she was walking she heard footsteps behind her and she turned sharply to meet a pair of sea blue eyes.
"What do you think your doing following me?" asked Alatariel sharply.
"I just wanted to speak with you lady," said Legolas surprised at the tone in her voice.
"Your arm must have grown long indeed if you think I haven't heard what you're up to prince!" she said coldly.
"And what have you heard milady?" he asked politely, she paused for a moment as she gathered her words.
"I have heard enough to know that you are not as you seem," she snapped darkly.
"Really? Would you care to explain that?" he asked again in the same polite tone.
"I don't have to explain myself to you" she replied fuming.
"Oh but I do encourage you to" said Legolas now smiling.
"And what if do not take in your encouragement?" she asked coldly.
"Then I will have to think of you as the foolish princess who heard rumors about a prince and instead of finding out for herself whether they were true or not, she believed them and lashed out at him in words" replied Legolas calmly.
"I do not care what you think of me," snapped Alatariel furiously.
"That milady, is quite obvious" he said softly.
"Stop these childish games! I do not want to hear them!" she said darkly.
"Childish games! Do not blame me for those when they are of your making. I come here for no other purpose than other to talk and I get told that I am not who I seem. I thought a princess like you would be wise and intelligent yet I find you are just a little child who sees only what she hears" said Legolas before walking off his gold hair lifting slightly in the wind.
Her head told her to tell him to stop so she could raise her hand and slap his cheek but her heart told her to leave it be. She decided that she needed to talk to Elladan but she didn't want to go and find him talking to Legolas. She was aware that if she passed him in a corridor it would be very awkward. So she kept her senses high as she walked through the corridors trying to find Elladan. Not to long later she found him humming a tune as he sat against a tree trunk.
"Elladan, are you well?" Alatariel asked softly, he seemed a little too peaceful.
"Yes, I was just thinking that's all" he replied calmly.
"I wanted to speak with you, do you want me to come back later?" she asked.
"No of course not, sit down," said Elladan happily, she smiled and sat in front of him.
"I was in the garden and I met Prince Legolas and I'll just start off by saying that it was not all that good" said Alatariel quietly.
"Ah I see, continue," said Elladan curiously. So she did, she told Elladan of their entire conversation and by the end Elladan had his head in his hands.
"I cannot believe you said those things" murmured Elladan.
"I'm sorry if I upset you," said Alatariel quietly.
"Nay you did not upset me, but you did surprise me when you said you had heard rumors of Legolas. Can you tell me what you've heard?" asked Elladan thoughtfully.
"I heard from many that he is a elf who beds women for one night and then leaves her in the morning alone. He is arrogant and thinks that he is above the world" she replied firmly.
"Oh of course, who could forget that rumor! Nienna put a lot of hate into those ones," said Elladan amusingly.
"I know naught of what you speak of Elladan," said Alatariel confused.
"Well you see Legolas once courted a exquisite maiden named Nienna but though she was beautiful she was shallow and cruel. Legolas had thought best of her but after seeing the real side of her he decided he did not want to be with her any longer. She was embarrassed and humiliated that he had left her so she made up many rumors about him that would hopefully ruin his reputation" said Elladan.
"Reputation?" she repeated curiously.
"Legolas had a reputation for being the purest and kindest elf in all of Mirkwood. She was left embarrassed by their relationship and in a few days so was he for people were whispering behind his backs rude and obscene rumors" said Elladan softly.
Alatariel could not reply to her brother's words for they had stunned her. 'That was why he acted so calm and polite. He has heard all this sort of thing before' realised Alatariel guiltily. She should go and apologise but she had too much pride and was far too stubborn.
"I want to apologies but I cannot Elladan, and you know why," murmured Alatariel guiltily.
"Ah of course, that stubborn streak. Do not worry about it today for he would probably not want to be in your presence right now" said Elladan amused.
"So what should I do for now?" asked Alatariel slightly encouraged by Elladan.
"Try and stay out of his way for a couple of days for what you have said would have offended him greatly. Try and relax as well I don't like seeing you all worked up, I know you'll figure this out," said Elladan kindly.
"Thank you Elladan, where is Elrohir I have not talked to him all day," she asked curiously.
"Probably practicing archery, he's really getting into it," laughed Elladan.
"Oh ok, see you soon" said Alatariel smiling as she stood up and headed towards archery ring. When she arrived she saw Elrohir shoot an arrow and much to her surprise it landed right in the middle.
"You never told me you were a good archer Elrohir," said Alatariel amusingly. He turned sharply but laughed as he saw her.
"Not as good as Legolas though" said Elrohir shooting another arrow.
"Oh your so competitive! Can't you just play nicely?" she asked with a motherly tone.
"Nope" he replied smiling cheekily. He aimed another arrow but as he was aiming Alatariel came behind him and knocked him slightly making the arrow fly off and hitting a near by tree.
"TARI! Your going to pay for that" cried Elrohir looking around for his sister. He heard a soft rustle of leaves he looked up to a nearby tree to see a glimpse of dark red among the green leaves.
"You need to work on your camouflage Tari," whispered Elrohir faintly. But as he stood by the tree and lifted one hand to climb it a great whirl of dark blue fabric came down on him.
"Oh Elbereth!" exclaimed Alatariel as she stood up after falling very ungracefully from the tree and onto her brother.
"That had to be the most ungraceful thing you've ever done Tari," laughed Elrohir as he stood up approaching her.
"Well everyone has their moments," said Alatariel amusingly as she pulled the last twig from her hair.
"Yes, well here comes another moment! The moment of payback!" cried Elrohir as he began tickling Alatariel furiously sending her into fits of hysterical laughter.
Meanwhile Legolas after his argument with Lady Alatariel had taken a short walk but he found he could not take his mind off their conversation. He looked back at this morning when she had arrived late for breakfast. He felt the air catch in his throat as he looked into her eyes. Her eyes were a deep blue and a long sheet of soft red curls that matched her ivory skin perfectly.
Never before had he seen such a beautiful maiden and never before had he ever met a child for a princess. He realized that it was midday and he had promised Elrohir an archery lesson, so he immediately headed off towards the archery ring.
As he was arriving he was very surprised to see Elrohir and Alatariel rolling around tickling each other both laughing hysterically. Even though his outlook on the princess was not very good he could not help but smile as he heard and saw the joy that she displayed. He stood there for a couple of minutes before Elrohir noticed Legolas and stood up shakily. Alatariel stopped laughing shortly oblivious why Elrohir had stopped, she then followed Elrohir's gaze and her eyes narrowed cautiously.
"Legolas! I've been wondering where you've been I thought you might have forgotten all about our lesson" said Elrohir cheerfully as he approached the prince leaving Alatariel to stand-alone.
"How could I forget Elrohir, I know how badly you need it" mocked Legolas looking towards the arrow that was sticking out of a tree.
"That was my fault, Elrohir is not a bad archer at all I believe him to be at a very high level" explained Alatariel her blue eyes shooting dagger at him. Though she did feel guilty for verbally attacking him but he had said some offensive things to her that she would not forget.
"Thanks for the compliment Tari but that would have been a great shot indeed if you hadn't ruined it," said Elrohir.
"Oh stop being such a child Elrohir!" she said amusingly.
"Why don't you?" laughed Elrohir.
"Because I'm not a child!" said Alatariel bluntly.
"Are you sure about that?" asked Legolas suddenly, she looked at him sharply and was angered by seeing satisfaction in them.
"Yes, I should be taking Dinaer for a ride now. Try not to surprise Legolas to much Elrohir, he might make up a rumor about you being a bad archer and that would very unfortunate," said Alatariel sleekly, she smiled as saw him fume. Legolas said nothing as he watched her turn sharply and walk into then nearby stables.
"I don't know why she bothers with that horse, it's a death trap" said Elrohir shaking his head. He then picked up his discarded bow from the ground and shook it gently before saying, "Come on Legolas! The sun doesn't shine at night".
Meanwhile Alatariel was feeling half foolish half satisfied as she mounted Dinaer. She knew that those rumors were not true but yet she used them in her words to get payback at him. But he didn't know that she knew, so really she shouldn't worry. She took a sharp intake of breath as she mounted Dinaer and gave him soft kick and they were off.
Alatariel had been taking care of Dinaer for at least three weeks and every day she rode him. For the first week it was half an hour the second week it was an hour and the 3rd week ended up being two whole hours. She loved the advantages that Dinaer gave her; she got to see some of the most beautiful scenarios by riding through the forests that she could never reach by walking.
Alatariel pulled Dinaer to a halt as they reached a familiar picture. It was a medium waterfall with a circular pool at the bottom. She had discovered it in the middle of her second week of riding Dinaer. She came her often when Elladan and Elrohir were on their hunting trip.
And she had taken Dinaer around a few hours before midnight and rode out here to watch the stars. Though it was very beautiful it wasn't wise for she had slept very late that morning and had missed Lord Thranduil and prince Legolas's arrival.
She smiled at the sight of the crystal water and the green foliage. She tied a light piece of rope around Dinaer's neck and hooked it onto a branch. She removed her slippers and pulled up her dress slightly and walked towards the water. She gave a soft sigh as the cool water touched her feet and tranquility came over her faster than rain fell from the sky.
She closed her eyes and much to her irritation Legolas's face came into her mind. She knew that today she had been rash and much unlike herself but every time she looked into Legolas's eyes she was brought back to the heart- wrenching Celinor. So perfect he had been to her eyes but not to her heart. Many days they spent talking and laughing together and she had been truly happy.
But she was clueless to what he was doing to her until it was too late. Their lovemaking was quick and he was the only one to receive any pleasure. She thought he would realize what he was doing and apologise and give her bliss but it never came. She went through every single emotion when possible when he left that night. But most of all pain, for he had thrown her against a mirror and left her there to die.
That pain would never heal and it seemed to be re-opened every time she saw Prince Legolas. It was not his fault and she knew that but she could not help but feel angry when he looked at her. He looked so much like Celinor but Legolas looked so much kinder and warmer. She would never forget the day when Celinor had looked at her and all she saw was coldness.
She felt her cheeks wet with tears as the memories unfolded. She wiped her face with some of the cool water and took a sharp intake of air. Once she had gathered herself up she took the rope of Dinaer and mounted him again and headed back to Rivendell feeling much lighter.
