Elrond looked down at the elven prince in front of him.

'And the unicorn allowed her to ride him to Rivendell? Didn't the boarder guards try and stop it? We don't like having things like that here, they could attack anyone.'

'We didn't see any guards,' said Legolas, not voicing his opinion that they'd probably been off having a smoke somewhere. 'But the unicorn was tame as soon as it saw her. I don't think there's any danger for us. She went with it to make sure it was stabled properly, but she should be here soon.'

Just then, Lyssa walked through the door, and Elrond stared at her. Legolas hadn't mentioned that she dressed like a man. He would have to find her a nice dress soon, so she looked like a woman should.

Lyssa approached where Elrond and Legolas were. 'Hello,' she said politely to Elrond, nodding her head slightly. She didn't want to seem rude after all.

'Can you leave us to talk, Legolas?' said Elrond, and Legolas nodded, before leaving the room to sort out his own things. Lyssa was really beginning to annoy him, she didn't seem to know how to show respect properly!

'Lyssa,' said Elrond, standing up. 'I have heard everything that Legolas knows about you from him, but you have kept him in the dark about a lot of things, where you're from, for example.'

'I don't really know what to tell you, or him,' said Lyssa, carefully. If she revealed she knew everything that would happen then she might get in trouble.

'Didn't you ever wonder why you didn't seem to fit in at home?' asked Elrond, suddenly. Lyssa stared at him, what did he know? 'It was I who sent you to earth, Lyssa, to protect you, but now you've come back to your true family.'

'Huh?' said Lyssa, thoroughly confused by now.

'Your mother was Elysabeth – you take her name – middle earth's only female wizard, and I'm your father. You're actually the youngest princess of Rivendell!'

Lyssa stared. She thought she was going to faint. She must be dreaming. She pinched herself. OW! That hurt! She took a deep breath, so she wasn't dreaming, she actually was a princess of Rivendell.

'So am I like, an elf, or a wizard, or what?' she asked, suddenly.

'You're a bit of both, nobody can guess what sort of stuff you can do, you'll just have to try things out. Maybe you should talk to Gandalf though, he's a wizard, he could help you.' Lyssa nodded, it made sense, but she wished she'd known before, she could have done all sorts of horrible stuff.

'But wait a minute!' she said, realising something. 'I don't look like an elf, I just look like a regular human!'

Elrond sighed sadly. It was hard to say all this, his daughter didn't deserve it.

'Have you ever heard of the unicorn prophecy?' he asked her.

She shook her head. This hadn't been in the movies. But then, she supposed, neither had she. Stuff was bound to be different if this was where she was really from.

'What is it?' she asked.

'Just before you were born, Galadriel saw it in her mirror,' said Elrond. 'She told me straight away, so I knew. Basically, a girl who can tame unicorns would soon be born, but she would never be who she truly was until the first unicorn she met led her to her soul mate.'

'No way!' yelled Lyssa. That wasn't fair. Why should she have to find some dumb guy before she looked like an elf?

'Unfortunately, yes, you will never be yourself, not have your true powers, until you can make your soul mate fall in love with you.'

'Make him?'

'Well he won't know he's your soul mate and you can't just tell him, why would he believe you? The unicorn will help you figure out who he is though.'

Lyssa sighed, why did the dumb stuff always happen to her?

'I'll get Arwen to show you to your room and get you some proper clothes,' he said. Lyssa was about to ask what was wrong with what she had on, but she decided it would be easier to argue with Arwen than Elrond.

'NO! I'm not wearing a dress!' she said. Sure, dresses were pretty enough, but she absolutely hated with them.

Arwen looked up at Lyssa, a pleading look in her eyes.

'You can't just dress up like a man!' she said. Lyssa sighed, feeling guilty. Arwen seemed really nice, but the idea of wearing a dress was not one that Lyssa was prepared to entertain. Maybe once in a blue moon, but she didn't even wear a skirt to school!

'Haven't you ever wanted to wear something more practical than dresses?' she asked Arwen.

Arwen looked slightly guilty when she nodded.

'But we have to wear dresses,' she said. 'We'd look stupid if we wore what men did.'

'We did it all the time back on earth. I never wore dresses,' said Lyssa. Arwen knew the whole story of what had happened, Elrond had told her. She'd been a little confused at first, but she'd been glad to discover she had a sister. After all, it got pretty boring being the only princess of Rivendell.

'We can get you some men's clothes for every-day stuff,' she told Lyssa. 'But if we have any formal parties then you will have to wear a dress.' Sighing, Lyssa agreed to the compromise.

'Do you think I'll ever find my soul mate?' she asked Arwen as they made their way back to her room.

'I don't know,' said Arwen, shrugging. 'I guess you just have to trust the prophecy and hope.'

R&R please! It'll get more interesting and there'll be more romance soon!
