Second Verse
~
My, my you reviewers tend to think the worst! Am I that mean? Wait, don't answer that, I am. Once again I laugh at myself for making this story so not correct with Tolkien's timeline. Oh yea and I completely made up of the elven 'coming of age' ceremony thing.
~
Nuquer watched as Legolas led Aragorn into the castle.
"Wow, he did not look like that over the summer!" Nuquer exclaimed.
"He is handsome." Flora remarked.
"He does have a sort of rugged handsomeness about him doesn't he?" Nuquer agreed, "Come on, let's go find Elgolth, Pelesar, and Runil." Nuquer was taking Flora to meet the girls she had met the other night at dinner when she and Legolas had "taken a break".
"Coming." Flora had one last look towards the ranger and followed her sister.
~
"So that's Nuquer's sister?" Aragorn asked Legolas as they headed towards the study.
"Yes, she's very nice." Legolas nodded.
"Not to mention pretty. You seem to have a lot of pretty maidens running around Mirkwood." Aragorn smiled at Legolas.
"Oh yes, sure, unless you've known them all your life." Legolas laughed, though he had to admit they were very pretty.
"I still can't believe you and Nuquer are together, that is amazing." Aragorn commented once again.
"Why is that so amazing?" Legolas turned and smiled at Aragorn.
"You are a flirt, over here over there, talking her and her, and her. Nuquer is the same way, she doesn't stay put, so how you two remain together is beyond me!" Aragorn laughed.
"I am one satisfying elf." Legolas smiled and let Aragorn into the study.
"That must be it." Aragorn shook his head.
~
"Nuquer, is that you!?" Elgolth voice called from inside her house where Pelesar and Runil were also.
"Yes, and I brought my sister, Flora." Nuquer called back, happy they were home.
"Hello." The three girls smiled at once to Flora.
"Hello." Flora smiled back.
"How's the plan going with Legolas?" Runil smiled and moved over so Nuquer could sit next to her.
"It's off, we decided not to do it." Nuquer shrugged.
"What? Why?" Pelesar looked disappointed, "I wanted to see that horrible girl given a taste of her own medicine!" Pelesar frowned.
"What do you mean a taste of her own medicine?" Flora interjected.
"Have you not heard about that girl?" Runil looked at Flora.
"No, I can't say I've heard to much about her, not many elves talk about her." Flora shrugged.
"And for a reason, no one likes her." Elgolth added.
"What did she do to make everyone not like her?" Nuquer was interested.
"Years ago, many years ago actually, when I believe I had just had my 'of age' ceremony, so she was about 200 maybe, there was an elf that she liked. Now he was much older then her, probable 3,000 or so-"
"Oh my goodness!" Flora interrupted, she knew elves were immortal and lived forever but she had only known younger elves.
The four laughed and continued "Well, I think it was the first elf that she had fallen in love with and she wanted very much to be with him. Her father though, wouldn't allow it, not to mention the other elf wasn't to certain about that arrangement either. Well, Bragolfin was extremely upset that she couldn't have her 'beloved' she made a huge deal of this and threatened to leave the lands forever. Now, before this little instance she was very much liked by everyone, her father was a popular man, though I can't say much for her mother."
"What was wrong with her mother?" Nuquer asked.
"She was just like Bragolfin is now." Runil shook her head, "I remember her, she expected everything to be handed to her whenever she wanted."
"Yes, very much so, and she I turn expected things to be like that for her only daughter, so Bragolfin become very used to having everything she wanted and had never been told no until she feel in love with this older elf."
"Who was the elf?" Flora asked, enraptured with the story.
"You know, I can't recall his name I didn't know him, he was from Lothlorein, and he didn't stay in Mirkwood very long." Elgolth shook her head.
"Oh, well go on."
"Bragolfin cried and sulked for weeks on end about this and of course everyone felt bad that she was going through this though we all agreed she needed to get over it. Then finally the elf was gone back to Lothlorein and news came a year later that he had married a beautiful maiden and the two were happy together. This enraged Bragolfin, she thought that if she couldn't have him then no one should."
"That's horrible!" Flora commented.
"Yes, and Bragolfin demanded a holiday in Lothlorein and she was sent. There she made that poor elf's wife horrible! I don't know all of what happened but it wasn't ling before she left for the Grey Havens." Elgolth finished.
"And that's not the only time she's fallen in love and made the girl who her beloved was in love with very sorry they every set eyes on their love. She's done it three times to date." Runil said sadly.
"Three times she's sent girls packing to the Grey Havens to be in peace!? That is outrageous!" Flora was shocked, "And nobody has done anything about this!?"
"There is nothing we can do, we aren't going to send her to the Grey Havens and she's not done anything punishable by the king, she's just annoying." Pelesar pointed out.
"She should be exiled." Nuquer sighed and sat back in her chair, "If she thinks she is going to do that to me and Legolas, she has another thing coming." Nuquer said defiantly, "Just wait until I am queen and she tries to pull something like that again!"
"Oh, that would be wonderful! " Runil laughed.
"Ladies, ladies, calm down. Nuquer is going to be princess before she is a queen and until then we are going to help make sure that Bragolfin does not touch Legolas and Nuquer's relationship in the least." Elgolth reminded her friends.
"You guys are the best." Nuquer smiled.
"This isn't just for you!" Pelesar laughed, "I want to see her go down too!"
"All right then, let's do it!" Flora laughed along with Pelesar.
~
"Yes, you may leave the creature Gollum here." Thranduil said gravely to Aragorn.
"Thank you, King Thranduil, I trust you will keep care and watch over him." Aragorn bowed and left the room. Legolas was waiting in the hall. "Well, he stays." Aragorn told Legolas.
"Great, and I bet I get charge over him too." Legolas sighed, then smiled at his friend, "Not that I'm blaming you of course." Legolas laughed.
"Yes, sorry about that. But, you are a man now."
"No, I am not a dirty man, I am an elf." Legolas joked, the two walked towards the dining hall, "Let's see if the girls are at dinner."
~
Nuquer and Flora left with Elgolth, Pelesar, and Runil to meet Legolas at dinner.
"I hope Bragolfin doesn't show up." Pelesar muttered as they entered the hall.
"I would feel sorry for her and what kind of like she had if she weren't so evil." Flora shrugged.
"Let's not even talk about her anymore, I don't want to be sick before I eat." Nuquer stopped any further conversation.
"Nuquer, how have you been?" Legolas and Aragorn were already in the hall when the girls arrived.
"Good and you?" Nuquer gave Legolas a loving kiss.
"Fine. Mind if Estel eats with us?" Legolas asked the girls.
"Not at all." They replied.
The group sat down and had a peaceful dinner, until Bragolfin showed up at the end with Laithol and Tarfirith.
"Those poor girls, they are afraid to leave Bragolfin because they know how vengeful she is." Elgolth sighed as the two girls followed Bragolfin in with unhappy looks.
"Oh great, and I was having such a nice time." Legolas sighed and rolled his eyes with a silent prayer to the Valar she would leave them alone.
Luckily for Legolas, Saeros, Bragolfin's father intercepted her before she could talk to Legolas.
"Hurry, let's go!" Nuquer whispered and the group ran out of the hall.
Saeros watched them leave before he finished talking to his daughter, he was sick of her games and didn't want the prince to be her next victim, that would not do well for the family.
