Ch.1 - The Twisted Life of a March-Warden's Sister

By obliviouswanderingwarrioress


She swung her legs over the branch, watching the elves walk to and fro in disarray, laughing as she saw her own Elvin kind run around like lunatics, all for the coming of some weird foreign king, and his oh-so-worthy-prince.
"NAENA!" She heard her brother shout up at the tree she was sheltering in, she sighed and jumped down, coincidentally falling on top of him.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry my wonderful big brother, I must have misjudged my landing!" she mockingly smiled down at him.
"Naianla, go get dressed in proper attire, King Thranduil and Prince Legolas are supposed to be here within the hour!" She stood rooted to her spot; suddenly she felt a hand cover her eyes, the other around her waist.
"Guess who, Naena!" she heard a familiar voice speak in her ear. Naianla grinned.
"ESTEL!" she whipped around to see the man and embraced him. "I've missed you, mellon nin!" He smiled down at her.
"Of course you have, I am just ever so loveable, and don't you agree Haldir?" Haldir laughed and greeted his friend with a (*cough *) manly pat on the shoulder.
"Well, it is wonderful to see you Aragorn, I am afraid my sister needs some help getting up to her talan, would you mind helping me?"
"Of course not!" Aragorn picked up Naianla's ankles while Haldir got her wrists, and they walked her up the ladder to her nearby talan. She struggled half the way there but gave up. It was hopeless; they would never put her down.

"Now, you're going to have to change your dress--" Haldir started once he and Aragorn set his struggling sister down.
"My dress is fine!" Naianla protested, rubbing her wrists. "You have a strong grip, Estel," she told her friend.
"No, sister, it is not, you need a pretty dress, and something to tame your hair!" Haldir smiled and went through her wardrobe and left Aragorn sitting next his sister on the other side of the talan. He picked one and laid it on the bed. "Here sister, I too must change, meet me at my talan in 15 minutes! Come Aragorn." The two boys left the talan, leaving behind a very angry and disgruntled elf.


Author's note: This is chapter one… please review!

Beta's note: Obliviouswanderingwarrioress is my best friend… so I have the right to say that this one itty bitty chapter took a lot of work to fix. I also have the right to put this note here, saying that I need to whip said best friend into shape before I collapse and get a headache from one too many grammatical errors. -CTE-
