Okay, here is a little thing for people who are way too critical on
fanfics. Any names that I might use that are the same name of an important
person, it's not my fault. I just put people's names in a name generator
and use what I get. Also, this is a fanfiction. Emphasis on "fiction" this
is not, I repeat, NOT an actual account of Tolkien. I put different
personalities on certain characters that might have a different one in the
actual books. Sky Elves are a race of elves that I made up for this story,
(again, FICTION) fiction= not real. OK? Well, now that that is out of my
system, on with the story!
Oh, all LOTR stuff belongs to Tolkien, and New Line Cinema, and Peter Jackson.

Elwen sighed as she looked at the sky. It was cloudy again. She missed the stars, being the Princess of the Sky Elves. Elwen shook her head to get her mind back on task. She was traveling to the Golden Wood to seek the council of the Lady of Light. Her father had sent her to bring news from her kingdom and to get news back. Sauron's minions were becoming more and more of a threat to her kingdom. Elwen sighed. She hadn't wanted to leave her kingdom in this time of crisis, but her father had wanted her to go to make it more formal then just sending a messenger who didn't know all of the details.
"My lady?" a voice interrupted her thoughts. It was Elor, one of the guards that had been sent with her for protection. Elwen turned to him.
"Yes?"
"It is about time that we make camp for the night." he said Elwen nodded. She knew that he had meant taking shelter in the near forest of Lothlorien, then they would make their way to Caras Galadon. Her eyes got a mischievous gleam in them. She set the pack she was carrying on the ground and unrolled her bedroll, and promptly laid down. "Not here!" he said sternly, yet smiling at the same time. Elwen just rolled her eyes and snuggled under the blanket. "Why not here?" she asked innocently. She looked over to her closest friend, Telwen. "I think that this is a good spot, don't you?" Telwen pretended to ponder the question while looking around at the scarcely sheltered ground.
"I agree! This is a great spot to stop!" she exclaimed after a few moments. Elwen just laughed. Elor turned and walked towards the other guard, Eärendur. They conversed for a few minutes, then started back towards the two women. Elwen was still laughing, when suddenly she was lifted up off of the ground. She let out a little shriek of surprise. Elor had picked her up and was carrying her towards the line of tall trees. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Telwen in the arms of the other guard, Eärendur.
"Elor! Put me down this instant!" she exclaimed, laughing. Elor just ignored her keeping a steady pace towards the safety of the trees. She turned her head and saw that Telwen wasn't protesting at being in Eärendur's arms. She smiled. Telwen had always liked the guard, and Elwen had a sneaking suspicion that feeling was mutual.
Soon, they arrived at the borders of the Elven forest.
"Elor! Put me down!" Elwen whispered fiercely, Elor just rolled his eyes and kept going.
Suddenly a voice called out, "Daro!"
The two guards immediately stopped and placed the two maidens on their feet. Three elves clad in gray jumped to the forest floor without a sound. Two of them raised loaded bows at them, while one came forward. He had long blonde hair and his eyes had an icy glare in them. His face was stern and expressionless. Elwen was surprised at his ability to not show any emotion.
Elwen stepped forward and held her head high. "My name is Elwen, daughter of the King of the Sky Elves. My company and I have come to seek the council of the Lord and Lady of Lothlorien."
The elf nodded politely, acknowledging the fact that she was royalty. He preformed the traditional elvish greeting of touching his hand to his heart, then sweeping it outward. He then introduced himself.
"My name is Haldir, March Warden of Lothlorien. These are my brothers, Rúmil, and Orophin." he stated coldly. "Come, the Lady is waiting for you." With that, he turned and started down a path leading into the woods.
