*blah* denotes thought
Middle earth.
The two travellers had finally come across the city, or at least what was left of it. Arwen climbed up on to the flets while Aragorn wandered below.
"Estel! Come quickly!" His wife yelled.
Aragorn ran up the steps and found Arwen in a very ornate breezy room. "This one was my grandmothers." She said twirling around. Elf and man searched through the 'house' remembering and laughing,
"Can we stay here tonight Estel, please?"
"Of course." Aragorn said and bent to kiss her.
Voyager
Legolas got the message an hour later. He was to join an away team to visit a new planet and gather supplies. He was not a happy elf. Going on an away mission meant going with Chakotay, who Legolas was sure he could feel that he was different. On the other hand he would finally get to feel some earth under his feet and breathe something other than recycled air. His decision made he dashed to his room to get his knives and concealed them under his uniform and then headed off to the transporter room.
Upon entering he saw Tom Paris, Tuvok the Vulcan, and Chakotay.
"Hey Luke." Chakotay said. "I bet you're wondering why you're here. It's because every crewman has to go on an away mission and the captain noticed you hadn't been on one yet. Basically this is what is happening. We know there are life forms on the planet. We don't know if they've had contact with off planet beings, therefore will try and avoid contact until we know the situation. Also we are carrying phasers just in case. You know every one?"
Legolas nodded.
"Okay lets go." The commander stepped up on the platform. And they beamed down to the planet.
The four immediately took in their surroundings. Three of them used tricroders and Luke listened to the trees and earth. He looked down at his phaser and felt the comforting weight of his knives on his back. He had no doubt as to which he would pull out first. The trees were whispering around him as they set off east where the greatest mass of life forms was.
"Wow look at these trees!" Tom said.
"They remind me of Mallorn trees." Legolas said reaching out to touch one. "But they have been extinct for a long time."
Chakotay smirked at the tree loving crewman, "Okay, here's the plan, we are going to stay out of sight and observe the people to see if we can safely enter the city. Quiet, speak only when you have to." The away team nodded and headed out.
Five minutes later Legolas heard an odd bird call that reminded him of the Warg hunting parties he used to join. He stopped and cocked his head listening intently.
Tuvok noticed. "What is the problem ensign?"
"That sound..." He trailed off. Then he heard them. A group was coming towards them almost soundlessly. Tuvok hadn't even heard them yet. "We have been discovered." The three mortals whipped around and stared at him for an instant before a group of silver clad warriors emerged from the trees, bows and arrows drawn.
The away team didn't have a chance to say a word as they were bound gagged and blindfolded before they were marched off.
As the blindfold came off Tom noticed that he was surrounded by the most beautiful people he had ever seen. Their hair was like spun gold, they had perfect faces, and delicate pointed ears. Also they glowed. *oh crap* he thought as their leader came down. He exuded an air of superiority that was almost tangible. Chakotay could see next, the Tuvok and finally Luke. Their leader gasped and said something in a beautiful language.
"Legolas Thrandullion"
'Luke' met his gaze, smiling. "Haldir of lorien"
Haldir quickly barked out some orders and Luke was realeased.
"Luke! You know these people?" Tom said astonished.
"It is good to see you old friend." Haldir said grasping Legolas's forearm.
"I thought you were all dead! This is where the elves have gone?" The other elf cried, filled with Joy.
"LUKE!" Chakotay yelled. "What is going on!?"
Legolas wirlled around and in English said, "Oh...umm...they're Elfs."
"Elfs?" Tuvok said still bound.
"Get them to untie us." Tom said quicky
Legolas turned to Haldir. "Please, they mean no harm." Haldir nodded to a guard who cut their bonds.
Chakotay came up to Legolas. "Luke, you have some explaining to do."
Haldir looked amused "'Luke'?"
Legolas glared at the captain. "They are old friends." He said to Chakotay.
Tuvok's eyebrows shot up into his head. "You are familiar with beings that reside in the delta quadrant?"
Legolas shrugged not really saying anything. He turned back to Haldir and said in English. "Is there a city near by?"
Haldir rolled his eyes at the use of English but said. " Aye, this is The Lady's realm. We have been here for but a few centuries and are rebuilding the elfish culture. Without men to take our lands." The stern elf looked with disdain at the other members of Voyagers crew. Tom broke out into a sweat.
Chakotay spoke up "We do not intend to settle here, we are simply looking for supplies so we can be one our way back to earth."
Haldirs eye's narrowed. "Blindfold them. We are to bring them to the lady. Then we will decide what to do with them and their ship." Blindfolds went on Tuvok Tom and Chakotay. "Our brother walks with us." He clapped Legolas on his back and walked down towards the first of the new elfish cities.
'Luke Greenman' was mildly concerned. He had very possibly just blown his cover. He asked Haldir, speaking in Sindarin to not reveal that he was an elf. Haldir said that was ridiculous and that he should stay with his people and not return to his ship. However the elder elf would respect his wishes. Legolas now had a lot to think about as they approached the glowing city.
Middle earth
"Estel, do you think Lothlorien will always be this peaceful?" Arwen asked as they settled down for bed in what remained of the lady Galadriel's chamber.
"I would imagine so." Aragorn said. But he doubted it. Seeing the two orcs in the forest reminded him of what the world had lost with the disappearance of elfs. And he knew that the quickly expanding cities of man would eventually encroach on this beautiful forest. He sighed as he looked over to find his wife deep in sleep already. The son of Arathorn rolled onto his back and gazed at the stars overhead.* The stars never change, what would it be like to live among them and have that sort of serenity?* He sighed and closed his eyes, drifting of to sleep.
Neither of them noticed the condensing magic just under them as it started to glow.
okay to clear up somethings:
a) Haldir does NOT die at helm's deep. most of this IS written with the movieverse implied but i can't stand the fact they killed him off, so that bit goes with the book.
B) for anyone who has not seen voyager. the delta quadrant is on the other side of the galaxy from us. At the time voyager's crew are the first to explore it, which is why tuvok was so surprised.
if you have any questions feel free to ask in that handy dandy review space!
thx
