Second Verse
~
Sorry if the updates are a lot slower than they used to be but school has been insane so far and I don't think it's going to get any better. I will try and update once a week though, I promise!

"We have to go see father." Elladan said to Elrohir as the two sat on his bed.
"Yes, I've been wanting to see him." Elrohir agreed and the two stood to leave.
"Hey, Elladan." Makathen and Nivrim walked into the room, "Whoa, is that your brother?" He stopped as he looked up and saw the identical twins standing before him.
"Yes, this is Elrohir. He has just returned." Elladan smiled and introduced the two, "Nivrim, Makathen, this is my brother Elrohir. Elrohir these are my friends and fellow trainee's Makathen and Nivrim."
"Hello." They all smiled at each other.
"We'll be back in a while, we have to go see out father, he doesn't know Elrohir is back yet." Elladan excused the two and they made their way towards the main hall where their father was meeting with a few of the head guards.

"Nuquer, do you think Nilhisie really likes me?" Flora asked as she headed towards a large rock to sit on in the middle of the river.
"Flora, you know he likes you! How many times do I have to tell you this?!" Nuquer laughed and splashed water at her doubtful sister.
"It just seems like a dream! It's so exciting! What would Faunia think?" Flora hadn't thought of her older sister still back at their home in a while.
"I don't even know where to begin with that. If it was up to her you would never see a man ever and you would stay home and do chores the rest of your miserable life." Nuquer guessed, quite accurately too.
"I feel bad that I don't miss her but she was so protective. Now I feel like I can have a life, I mean look at you and Legolas, you would have never gotten away with that back home!" Flora laughed.
"Hey! Don't talk about that, someone might hear!" Nuquer warned and splashed more water at Flora.
In fact someone was listening, Bragolfin. Her eyes narrowed as she heard the two talking. So, Nuquer and Legolas had obviously been intimate together. Jealousy flared in Bragolfin's cold heart and she wanted more than ever for Nuquer to be gone from Mirkwood.
~
"Where are the girls?" Nilhisie sighed and he knocked again at Flora's door and no answer came.
"Probably down by the river." Legolas suggested, "Let's go look."
The two headed out of the palace and into the woods only to be stopped moments later by the lovely Bragolfin herself, "Legolas, Nilhisie, looking for someone?" Bragolfin asked in her sugary sweet voice she reserved just for Legolas.
"Actually I was looking for Nuquer, have you seen her or Flora." Legolas asked, knowing the answer wouldn't be pleasant.
"Oh," all the sweetness had run out of Bragolfin's voice only to be replaced by biting envy, "well, I don't know where those two are and I don't see why you would want to find them." Bragolfin sneered.
Legolas didn't even grant her a reply but instead ignored her remarks and walked off with Nilhisie by his side.
"I really don't like her." Nilhisie said when he thought she was out of earshot, though she wasn't and heard every word he said.
Bragolfin frowned and headed back towards her room, she'd show them, tonight she'd be the prettiest one at dinner. Not even dear Nuquer would compare to her radiance.

"Nuquer!" Legolas called to Nuquer as he saw her and Flora in the water.
"Legolas!" Nuquer turned and smiled as her prince stopped at the water's edge. Flora followed close behind, though she was shivering and her lips were tinted with purple from the chilly water.
"You look cold, " Nilhisie laughed and Flora gladly left the water and wrapped her fluffy towel around her for warmth.
"Just a little." Flora laughed and moved closer to Nilhisie for warmth.
"It's getting to cold to go swimming anymore, it's going to be a cold winter." Legolas commented as Nuquer came ashore.
"You're telling me!" Flora smiled at Legolas and sighed as Nilhisie wrapped his strong arms around her.
"What did you come down here for?" Nuquer asked as she dried off.
"We were bored so we decided to come bug you." Legolas smiled.
"Oh, that's sweet." Nuquer rolled her eyes and tossed her towel at Legolas.
"My father is having all his important friends for a 'special' dinner tonight and I though you might want to know so that you had time to get ready and that kind of thing." Legolas said.
"What kind of 'special' dinner?" Nuquer asked, wondering if it would be yet another feast.
"I think they want to discuss the 'impending situation in Mirkwood', that's what my father said earlier at least." Legolas shrugged, he didn't really know.
"Well, let's go, I think we have some time to talk before I have to really get ready." Nuquer raised her eyebrow and looked at Legolas.
"Really? Time to talk?" Legolas looked back at her.
"Gee, not like we have and clue what you two are talking about." Nilhisie shook his head and started back towards the palace.
"Oh, sorry. " Nuquer blushed slightly and followed behind Flora and Nilhisie.
