Painful Memories, Shattered Love

A Very Rocky Relationship

**********

This was her first night out in the woods. She knew that she had to be very careful. Just one small mistake could easily get her killed. She saw at least ten poisonous snakes as she made her way out of her homeland and away from her memories.

She was an Elf. A very young Elf from their perspective. And she felt that she had to run away. Away from her father, Lord Legolas and his Rivendell wife, Lady Aidren. They lived in the Mirkwood Palace. The Lord was a royal prince of Mirkwood, but his only daughter, Márwen, or shortly Már, was sent to Rivendell to learn lore from Elrond Halfelven, the Lord of Rivendell and the master in lore.

And now they've come to visit her. She had to run away. She didn't tell anyone, but secretly she hated her father with a passion. She never knew why. She was just happy to escape his companionship.

What she didn't know, though, was that her father was far from visiting her. It just wasn't his reason. He came to Rivendell for a secret council. It was supposed to decide on the fortune of the whole Middle-earth. And, though Már didn't know it, soon it was decided that a fellowship of nine were to leave Rivendell on a quest of Mount Doom. And that they already left Rivendell and were fast closing the gap between her and her father.

Lord Legolas never knew that his daughter was gone. He left with the other fellowship members, not knowing anything other than the fact that he could finally get away from her hated presence. He said his farewells to his wife before the council, and now walked with a clear mind. The fellowship soon agreed upon a course and they pursued it until nightfall.

They didn't meet anyone until the twentieth day of their journey. That was when the crebain came upon them. The fellowship was more alert than ever and they soon detected another presence. And soon enough they came upon the body of a youngster. She groaned when they tried to turn her around and look at her face. When they at last accomplished the task, Legolas swore. None of them have ever heard an Elf swear like that before.
