KR' IP (Prologue)
The Princess of all the Elves was a beautiful young woman. One destined to do great things for her people. One also destined to marry one of the Elven Princes. There were several candidates, one from each of the Elven lands. But of those that Sadia met, she loved none of them. But, alas, one did love her. Prince Hilmar. He was an evil-spirited Elf, who wasn't worthy of the points of his ears. And Sadia hated him. But Hilmar's love of the Princess would not diminish, and upon being refused, his anger grew. And grew.
Hilmar decided, one day, to make Sadia regret ever refusing him. He ransacked Sadia's land, killing the innocents who stood in his way. Finally, Sadia promised to marry him, if only he'd stop his reign of terror. But by this time Hilmar was far too power-hungry and had had far too much fun in his raids to listen to her. Instead, he attempted to kill her.
But luck smiled upon Sadia, and her wounds were far less severe than Hilmar thought. This gave her dear father an idea. Sadia fled the land of the Elves, and Hilmar was told that the Princess had died.
Hilmar's power-mad brain had killed the woman he loved. And that was something Hilmar could never live with. He went mad and killed Himself.
The threat gone, Sadia could return to her land. But neither her father nor any of their people could find her. She had fled. For good. After three years, they stopped looking for her.
Elves, though they may not seem it, are very found of story telling, and a tale is quick to spread to each Elf's ear and then to their lips. The Princess became the source of late-night story telling, her story soon turning into a myth, a legend. A legend of her astounding beauty, of her fairness, and of her father's wants of her back. A legend of the reward that the Elf who brought her back would receive. A legend that every child heard and remembered. Even the Prince of Mirkwood.
A/N: Okay, I know it's short. I'm sorry. And, a warning to you: the next four or five chapters won't be much longer than this. Please don't kill me!
I really want to know what you think of this, so please review. Although, I haven't given you much to review have I? :)
