Standard disclaimer applies to the whole story!!!
I DO NOT own LOTR But, I do own the characters (shadow elves) - I think I'm the only one who
has this character. =)

Have you ever wondered why Legolas never go badly wounded? In fact, he only got scrapes and bruises.well if you have =) then, I invite you to read my story. Its is a tale of adventure and of course no tale would be complete without love, hehhehe

But before I proceed with my story, here is a little background on a race of elves I out into it.

SHADOW ELVES - neither black/dark nor white/light, lets just same in
between
- their looks are comparable to those of the
white/light
elves maybe even fairer.but they prefer to live in
the
dark ( among the shadows to be exact)
- very skillful in all types of weapons. Agile and
strong.
what makes them unique is their ability to use
magic.
They are able to use this because they are the
protectors
of Valinor and in some special cases are called upon
to
protect people who are in middle earth.

Now on with the story. Oopps, hehehe.. the events of this story is based on the 2 LOTR movies

QUESTION: does anybody know the name of Thranduil's wife??? Or maybe has a suggestion of a name.. your help is greatly appreciated, thanks

FINALLY, on with the story (Preview only, need the name for Thranduil's wife to be able to post the whole chapter)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

...As the rays of the rising sun gently fell upon the concealed city of the Silven elves of Thranduil, it made it look more beautiful and magical to anyone who may have the chance to lay eyes upon it. It is so serene and lovely, but the stillness was suddenly broken. An elven rider came, riding his horse at full gallop. He showed no signs of slowing even as he approached the city gates. He knows that the gates would be open for him, elves have very keen eyesight, they would already have recognized him as a messenger of Lord Elrond. And true enough the gates were opend when he reached it.

It seemed to be another wonderful day for King Thranduil as he gazed up to the mountains from his study. To him the sun always look beautiful at this time of day. Sitting down to start his work when a knock was heard ' Enter' ' My Lord! A messenger from Lord Elrond has just arrived and requests to see you immediately for he brings an urgent letter' ' Bring him to me' 'As you wish my Lord' bowing the elven guard left the study to fetch the messenger.

2 hours have passed since the messenger handed to him the letter. 2 hours since he last moved from his position. The threat of the Dark Lord was once again rising. The One ring has been found. Lord Elrond has called for a council, he requests a representative from Mirkwood. Legolas, he would be the best choice. But, he is till young. Yet, he is one of the best marksman, no one can surpass his ability with the bow in the whole of Mirkwood. But, his life would be in danger, he could possible die. These thoughts plagued Thranduils mind after reading the letter. He knows he has to decide quickly. .Maybe, just maybe there is another more worthy.. yes. maybe there is another. And with those thoughts, Thranduil quickly began making a list of people.

So what do you think? Should I continue of not? Thanks for all your anwers.. till next time.
