Tomorrow's Eternity
Chapter 2
"Oof!" Serenity exclaimed as the breath was knocked out of her upon her landing. Slowly, she regained her breath and adjusted to the increase in gravity. "Ugg," Serenity groaned as she got up, brushing bits of leaves and such out of her hair and off of her clothes, "I *really* need to practice that spell." She huffed and straightened her sword belt before glancing around at her surroundings.
"Wow," Serenity whispered in awe. She had landed in the forest; what forest, she did not know. However, it was fall time and the trees were beautiful. The leaves had just turned into different colors, giving Serenity a view of how colorful they could be. Slowly, as if in a trance, she walked up to the nearest tree and lay a slender hand on its trunk.
'Trees on the Moon were never like this,' Serenity thought, 'They're always the same with white trunks and silver leaves. Beautiful...but coldly so, not like ther trees down here. They were so vibrant...so full of life.' She tilted her head back and tried to see the top of the tree, but she couldn't. Another difference between the Moon's trees and these.
'I wonder what Middle-earth would look like from so high up.' Serenity mused silently. She reached up and grabbed on of the lower branches of the tree. Testing to see if it would hold her weight, Serenity used it to pull herself up onto it. Slowly, she made her way up higher up on the tree, almost falling off twice. On the second time, she screamed and grabbed the branch she was on, hugging it for all she was worth.
*~~~~~~~~*
Legolas was out hunting in the woods of his homeland when he heard a scream. Immediatly, he pulled an arrow out of his quiver and knocked (AN: is that right? I haven't done archery in a while...-.-) it. 'Orcs?' he asked himself. Lately, there had been more and more sightings of Orcs in their forests, and that made the Mirkwood elves nervous. An increase in those foul creatures could only mean that Evil was drawing near. Now, most elves went out in groups of three to four, not wanting to be caught alone when a party of Orcs decided to ambush them.
Because he was the sole heir to the throne, Legolas usually went out with a few of the royal guards. But today, he'd gone out alone, hoping to catch some time away from the royal courts. His father, King Thranduil, had been pressing him to find a bride recently, something Legolas did not think he was ready for.
Gripping his bow tightly in his hands, the elfin prince headed towards the direction in which he heard the scream. When he came to a tree with only a young girl {or so he thought} clinging to a branch towards the top, he blinked, somewhat confused. There was no Orc, or anything else dangerous or could cause a maiden to scream. So why did she?
Legolas shook his head, he shouldn't be thinking about why. She was human and she was in the woods of Mirkwood. By the law of the Elves, she had to die. 'But...' Legolas hesitated, he couldn't just kill her. What if she really had a reason to be there, or if she wasn't here by choice or... there were so many possibilities... The elf shook his head once more; there was only one way to find out for sure. Gripping his bow in his hands, and getting ready to shoot at any minute, he called out, "Ya na-lle?! Mani nev-lle e' Mirkwood!?!"
*~~~~~~~~*
'Oh shit.' Serenity mentally cursed, squeezinf her eyes closed and clutching the branch, 'Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down!!!' Was all that ran through her head. She'd forgotten about her fear of heights. It wasn't bad, and on;y occured on *really* high places. The trees on the moon weren't so high, so she'd never had to worry about it, but the trees on Middle-earth...
'Serenity!!! Baka, baka, baka! You said so yourself that the trees down here were tall!!! Arrrggg!' she mentally berated herself while letting out a tiny whimper. 'I wanna go home...I never should have come down here! Now I...'
She was cut off as a voice shouted out "Ya na-lle?! Mani nev-lle e' Mirkwood!?!"
Serenity blinked. 'Uh oh...I'm in *deep* trouble now, an inhabitant of Middle-earth!!!!' She lay perfectly still on the branch. Maybe, he hadn't noticed her, maybe, if she didn't acknowlegde him, he'd go away. Yeah right, and pigs can fly.
Legolas frowned, why wasn't the human responding? Maybe she didn't understand Elvish? "Who are you!? And why are you in Mirkwood!?!" he asked again in Common.
'Oh well...time to face the music.' Serenity slowly opened her eyes and turned her head, only to see the most beautiful (AN: Hey, elves *are* beautiful and so's Lego-chan...in a masculine sort of way) creature she'd ever layed eyes on. One look into his ice-blue eyes, and she knew she'd fallen in love.
