To the people that reviewed this story before it was taken off by fanfiction.net:
Dazzler420- Thank you for the review I hope you keep reading it.
Saera- You wanted more and here it is.
(A/N- If you don't think young children pick up on things fast trust me they do. I'll even mail you my daughter to prove it.)
Rumil leaned in to whisper into Tatyana's slightly enlongated ear ",Careful now. You only want to snag his tunic not injure him."
"We would never hear the end of it if you did," Orophin commented dryly.
Tatyana pulled back on her small bow, her arrow ready. Her tongue poked out of the corner of her mouth in concentration as she took aim. A moment later the arrow sang through the air catching the tunic of her target against a tree. Haldir turned to look at the trio extremely angry and not in the least bit amused. Taty quickly handed Orophin her bow before running off, calling over her shoulder ",Namaarie, Melloneamin." (Farewell, friends.)
Tatyana allowed her legs to carry her through the forest while her mind wandered over childish things. Her legs knew where they were going because she had wandered this path many times before. Taty tossed her long hair over her shoulder allowing the scent of the ivy and moonflowers braided into her hair to permeate her senses. The fairy smiled upon recalling Haldir's frustration at trying to weave them into her hair but finally gave up handing the job over to Legolas.
Tedian entered Galadriel's study without knocking. After all, she is Galadriel, she would already know she was there. "Quel amrun, Tedian. Hama sinome. Rina istorlle sinome." (Good morning, Tatyana. Have a seat. Memorize your spells here.)
Tedian took the offered seat next to Galadriel at the table. Galadriel pushed a large open book in front of the Queen. Taty growled in frustration while thinking ",Great ! Defense spells. She could just tell me to burn the place down and save all of us the trouble."
"Your spells are not that poorly performed Poikaer. They only require some practice to become second nature. Now, call up a fireball."
Taty was just about to do as ordered when her ears heard familiar footsteps echoing towards them. Haldir was definately unhappy. She quickly mumbled a spell, disappearing, as Haldir barged into the room. "Where is she ? Tedian show yourself."
"Why are you so angry Haldir ?"
"That fairy shot me with an arrow."
"Are you injured ?"
"Well...no. She caught my tunic to a tree."
"Tedian, disperse the spell. Haldir wishes to speak with you."
"Nu-uh. He wants to yell at me," Taty called from somewhere in the library.
"He will not raise his voice to you."
Taty mumbled a few more words before appearing at the top of a bookcase. "Tula, Tedian. Tula sii'." (Come, Tatyana. Come now.)
Taty gracefully climbed down the bookcase and looked up at Haldir, a pout forming on her mouth. "That no longer works with me, little one. Why did you aim your arrow at me ?"
"Rumil and Orophin told me to."
"You are young still. When you grow older you will know not to do what those two trouble makers say."
"But..."
"I believe an extra hour of practicing your spells and a week of accompanying me on duty at the south wall will be sufficient punishment."
"A week on the south wall," the child wailed. "Nothing ever happens on the south wall."
"Precisely."
Tedian opened her mouth to reply but the library doors flew open revealing two dark headed elven twins. Taty flew into their arms, squeeling ",Elladan ! Elrohir !"
The twins laughed lightly, returning her embrace. Haldir rolled his eyes heavenward ",Oh, Eru, as if my brothers didn't influence Tedian enought."
Lord Elrond approached behind his sons. Tatyana bowed to him before collapsing into his outstretched arms. "Nae saian luume, Tedian. Oio naa elealla alasse'." (It has been too long, Tatyana. Ever is thy sight a joy.)
"Mankoi ma lle sinome ?" (Why are you here ?)
The smile faded from Elrond's face. "One close to our hearts is leaving on a journey."
Haldir looked to Galadriel but her expression revealed nothing. "Where is Arwen ? It has been too long since I have seen my friend."
"She is in the gardens below with Aragorn," the edge on his voice was lost on the girl as she quickly left the room.
Tatyana ran as fast as her four year old legs would carry her into the gardens. She skidded to a stop though, her mouth agape, at what she saw. "Ewwww...."
Aragorn and Arwen broke their embrace to look at the small girl. Arwen held out her arms to which Tatyana fell into them. Arwen picked her up, holding her tightly ",You have grown so much since last I saw you."
"Arwen," Taty laughed ",you were here only a few months ago."
"True, but you have grown," Aragorn whispered in her ear taking Taty from Arwen's embrace. "Now tell me, poikaer, having you been obeying those who care for you ?"
"Well..."
Aragorn sighed in exasperation ",Tedian."
"I have been studying my spells for Galadriel. I work on my swordmanship and archery with Orophin and Rumil. But...."
"You are troublesome for Haldir and Legolas," Arwen interjected.
"Haldir more so," Legolas entered the gardens. "Lirimaer, it is almost time for dinner we need to get you cleaned up."
"N'uma. They just got here. Can't I have a few minutes more ?"
"Come, Legolas, mellonamin. Surely Tedian's bath can wait a bit longer. She has yet to show us what spells she has mastered."
"You should just hand her a torch and give her permission to set fire to the forest," Legolas joked.
"Auta miquila orqu, agaryunlear," Tedian spit out, turning a nice shade of red. (Go kiss an orc, bloodsucker.)
Arwen looked to Legolas then to Taty ",Dina ! Really Legolas. Making fun of a child." (Be silent !)
"Lle n'vanima ai' lle atara lanneina," Legolas shot at Tatyana.
"My mother dresses me funny," Tedian snorted ",well, that would be you wouldn't it ? And sorry if my fae looks don't appeal to you."
Tedian quickly strode over to Legolas, kicking him in the shin, then called ",Lova tyelka."
Legolas immediately slipped in some mud that had not been there a moment ago. Tedian and Aragorn laughed loudly while Arwen sympathized with the now cursed Legolas. "Tedian, reverse the spell."
"Fine," she growled ",'Kshonna wanya."
Haldir couldn't believe what he was hearing. Galadriel was calm as she spoke ",Tedian's time with the elves grows short. She will return to her homeworld soon."
"We're not going to allow her to return to her family are we," Haldir was practically foaming at the mouth.
"In some things we haven't a choice," this time it was Elrond who was the voice of reason.
"They tried to kill her. They burnt her. Destroyed her wings. Left her scarred. Told her that she was evil. How could we send her back ?"
Galadriel sat back in her seat. Who knew that Haldir would put up such a fight ? "Not all of her caretakers abused her. They will become a valuable asset to her as she grows. For there are some things that even we elves cannot teach her."
"But...," Haldir had used up all of his reasons.
"Calm yourself, Marchwarden," Galadriel stated. "Though she will be leaving Middle Earth her path here has not yet ended. Tedian has a bigger part to play in events to come."
Tedian watched with curious eyes those around her as they ate, drank, and danced. They were celebrating something but no one would tell her the special event. Tedian slipped off of her chair carefully so as to not step on the dress Galadriel had made for her. Tedian was quickly swept up into Aragorn's arms. "Mani naa lle umien ?" (What are you doing ?)
"Amin n'sinta." (I don't know.)
"Then let us dance, Poikaer."
Tedian laughed as Aragorn swung her around the room. Aragorn felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to find Legolas standing there. Aragorn handed Tatyana over to his waiting arms. "What are we celebrating Legolas ?"
"A friend is continuing on an adventure."
"Who ?"
Legolas smiled at the Queen before placing a kiss on her forehead. Legolas then let Haldir take her away. "I will be awaiting your return, Liramir."
"Haldir, who is leaving."
"A friend."
Taty looked into Haldir's eyes. She gave his cheek a gentle kiss. "Tenna' ento lye omenta."
"Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au."
"Then it shall not weep long."
Haldir set Taty on her feet. He had seen the dark skinned man float through the swirling vortex. Tedian called out to the elves as she neared the protal ",Namaarie."
In a flash of light the Fairy Queen of the Woodlands disappeared.
