Chapter 6
**************************
Legolas' POV
'It is good to be back in Lorien. The trees were greener, bigger and shadier. I cannot wait to meet up with Haldir again, for I have a lot to ask of him'. Just then, an approaching figure caught his attention. He hid himself behind a nearby bush and observed. Like any elves in Lorien, she has raven hair. She wore the colours of Lorien, a silver tunic with a matching silvery blue leggings which did justice to her already perfect lithe and slender figure. 'Hmmm, I do not recall seeing female warrior in Lorien before?' Still observing, 'Good stance, steady draw, very much like Haldir's and good release too. I wonder who she is?'
***************************
Aurwen's POV
"Who is there?" I asked with arrow ready in hand. "Show yourself." My voice was a little nervous. I have never been in this situation before.
"Do not be frightened. I mean you no harm. However I am sorry if I startled you," came a voice from behind the bush.
"Who are you?" I asked, as he stepped out from his hiding. "I have not seen you before. There are not many with blond tresses in Lorien," I added further.
'She does not know who I am. She seems to be very skillful, for a she-elf. I will disclose my identity later.' "I hailed from Mirkwood. I accompanied Prince Legolas to Lorien."
"Well, you arrived earlier than scheduled," I answered, lowering my bow.
"We ran into some trouble, late last night." 'Too late, should not have said that. I wonder how much of information had been shared among the people here?'
"What trouble?" I asked, moving closer to the blond elf.
"Nothing that concerns you. It was a small matter," answered the elf. "You seemed to be quite skillful with your bow. Do you come here to practice often?" asked the elf, hoping to change the subject.
"Archery is my passion and this, is my secret practice place. Although I do not know how, you managed to find it," I remarked.
Avoiding her question, he said, "Not many she-elves are into archery. Who taught you all those skills?"
"I have a great teacher and Haldir is his name," I answered proudly.
'Ahh, just as I thought.' "So, Haldir taught you how to shoot. He is good, although I could see a certain flaw when you were practising a moment ago. Your bow was not fully drawn back," offered the elf.
"Oh, that is because I have injured my arm. It refrains me from doing a full draw," I answered, rubbing my arm gently.
"Why are you practising, knowing that you have an injury to nurse?" questioned the elf.
"I have some sort of competition, with some elves later in the morning. I came out here to do some warming up," I continued. "I heard that elves from Mirkwood are great archers. Care to show me some of your skills?"
"I would love to show you but I do not have my bow with me."
"You can use my bow but it is smaller than most," I said as I handed my bow over to him.
"It is smaller and I see that it was specially made for you, as it has your name engraved to it," said the elf, after inspecting the bow. 'It is a beautiful bow and so is she.' "However, I do not mind giving you some pointers, if you allow me to guide you, Aurwen?"
Smitten by his beauty, I did not hear him calling my name.
"Aurwen is your name and this is your bow, am I right?" he asked, cocking his head.
"But of course," I said smiling. 'How stupid was that?' "Are you still willing to teach me?" I asked, changing the subject.
"If you are still willing," he replied.
"I am, as I need all the help I can get to be the greatest archer," I answered with a smile.
"All right then," obliged the elf, as he positioned himself closer to me. 'It is strange to not have seen her before. How long has Haldir been teaching her and those icy blue eyes, are torturing me.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*** Aurwen's POV ***
What is wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast? I know he is an attractive elf and much like father. Taller, fairer and those piercing blue sapphire eyes, that seem to make me weak to my knees every time I gaze into them. I can feel him moving closer to me. Take it easy Aurwen. You need to calm down. He is going to hear you if you keep this up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The trick is having the bow totally aligned with your shoulders, like this," he said as he repositioned my arm and shoulders into a straight line. "I noticed your flaw, when you fired your first few shots. The other thing would be, having your chest open. This way, you will not put much stress to your arm when you draw back. Here let me help you with the first shot," he said as he positioned himself closed to me. 'Come on Legolas, concentrate. You would not want to make a fool out of yourself if you miss this shot.'
As I removed an arrow from my quiver, he helped me notched the arrow to the bow. Hands touched and hearts racing, he helped to draw the string back. I aimed at the target before he whispered "Release" into my ear. The arrow flew right to its target.
"You have done well, Aurwen. That was an excellent shot," he said before backing away.
"I have you to thank for it," I said trying hard to hide the trembles in my voice. "If you do not have plans, would you like to follow me and meet the rest of the group?" I offered.
"I will be happy to join you and thank you for inviting me," he said, before walking to the dead tree to retrieve the arrows.
"Nay, I am the one who should thank you, for teaching me," I answered with a smile. Smitten and still overwhelmed with what had just happened.
We had more practices after that, before deciding that it was time to leave. The walk back was an agonising one, for both us. There was tension in the air, and both of us felt it. I was relieved when we got near the shooting range. From a distance, I could see Elladan and Elrohir making some shots. Father was among them.
"Adar," I greeted my father. Seeing the twins practising behind, I asked, "How are my two opponents fairing?"
"They seem to be doing well," answered Haldir. Brushing off the loose hair, from my forehead, he continued. "You were up early this morning. I went to check on you but was surprised to find your room empty." Seeing another elf behind me, he turned his attention towards him. "I see that you two have met. This is my daughter, Aurwen," said Haldir. "Aurwen, this is Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."
"P-P-Prince Legolas?" I answered, heart pounding, the name still ringing in my ear. Turning to the elf, I stammered, "B-B-But you told me that-" Shocked, I could not even finish my sentence.
"I am sorry for deceiving you, my lady. I did not mean to. I was afraid that you would shy away if you knew of my true identity," said Legolas. "It is an honour to finally meet you," as he took my hand and planted a kiss on it. "Call me Legolas, as I dislike formality."
"It is a great honour to finally meet you too Prince, I mean Legolas but you must promise to call me Aurwen," I managed to spill those words before walking towards the twins.
"Haldir, my friend, we have lots to discuss," said Legolas, as his eyes followed the raven beauty walking away from him.
"Indeed, my friend. Shall we do it after the competition?" Haldir suggested.
"That will be great. For now, let us all enjoy a little game of fun. You two are really up for a challenge. She is very good," said Legolas to both Elladan and Elrohir.
**************************************
It has been a long morning and I could feel the pain building up in my arm. So far, the score line was a three way tie. 'I must not lose to Elladan. No matter how much it hurts, I must bare the pain.' It was really, battle of the sexes and being stubborn as I am, I was not ready to lose this match due to an injury. Both Elladan and Elrohir were doing well with their shots.
It was my turn. Ignoring the throbbing pain, I notched my arrow to my bow, drew it back, aim hard before releasing to its target. Happy with the shot, I finally dropped my bow to support my injured arm. Kneeling on the ground, I let out a cry.
Hearing his daughter cry, Haldir rushed to her side. "Aurwen, are you alright?" asked Haldir, kneeling.
Although in pain, I braved a smile. "I am fine, Adar. Nothing your 'warrior princess' cannot handle. I am just feeling a little pain. After all, I have made like forty shots so far." Still holding to the sore arm.
"Well, we can always call it quits," Elrohir suggested, concerned over Aurwen's condition.
"No, not after what Elladan just did," I said after witnessing Elladan's perfect shot. "How about another five more, before we call it quits?" I asked, looking over to my father for approval.
"Alright Aurwen, five more," said Haldir with much concern. Happy with the answer, Aurwen got up and head back to her spot. Haldir got up and walked back to his seat before turning to Legolas and said, "She is ambitious, that daughter of mine."
"Well she does take after you, Haldir. Strong will, skillful and stubborn," said Legolas.
"Indeed," replied Haldir. "I noticed some changes in her archery today. Saw some traits of a certain Mirkwood elf at play," said Haldir, drawing a light smile in his face.
"I gave her some pointers, to help ease the pain. She is however, a fast learner. Why have you kept her a secret, all these time?" asked Legolas, furrowing his brow.
"I do not have the answers as to why I did that," said Haldir. "From whom did you learn of her existence?"
"Rumil told me of her when we rode into Lorien. How long have you been teaching, Aurwen?" asked Legolas, as he watched the three of them compete.
"For as long as I can remember. She is one of my best students, although she has yet to experience her first hunt. Lorien has been free of Orcs for some time. However, I am not sure if I would allow her to join these hunts," said Haldir. Upon making that statement, Legolas gave him a confused stare. "Do not get me wrong my friend, she is very capable of performing such tasks but she is my daughter and I cannot help but worry for her all the time," said Haldir.
"I am sure she will do just fine. Learned from Rumil, that you, along with Elladan and Elrohir, will lead the group in a hunt tomorrow. Why not have Aurwen partake in this hunt with you? I will be joining the hunt and will help you keep an eye on her."
"That sound like a great idea, Legolas. I am sure that she will be thrilled when she hears of this news. It will be a good exposure for her," Haldir agreed.
"I see that the competition has come to an end," said Legolas after seeing the three of them packed up. "I wonder who the winner is? The score will be very close and we can always continue our conversation some other time."
Haldir nodded in agreement.
**************************
While we were busy packing things up, I glanced over to where father and Legolas were seated. I have never seen father this chatty before and he seemed to be really happy. Shortly after, we carried our stuff to the table where they were seated. When we got to the table, Elladan broke the silence.
"You two should have joined us. It was a fierce competition. She is one determine elf, Haldir," said Elladan as he elbowed me on the ribs.
"No one can break that spirit of hers. She is very determined," said Haldir while glancing over to where I was standing. "How is your arm, Aurwen?" Haldir asked, concern and worried shown in his face.
"To be honest, Adar, it is really sore," I answered. "What have you been sharing with Legolas the whole time, while the three of us were busy trying to out do one another?"
"Nothing really. So who won?" asked Haldir, avoiding his daughter's questions.
"Elladan, by the last arrow," said Elrohir. "Aurwen gave him a hard time and she managed to split one of this," continued Elrohir as he showed them the split arrow.
"I am sure that she would have won today, if it was not for her injury. You trained her well, Haldir and she is one tough person to beat. I had to concentrate hard, in order not to give points away," said Elladan.
"I would have lost more points if it was not for Legolas. He gave me some great pointers which indeed was a real help. I would not be able to go far today if it was not for you," I said to Legolas. "Thank you."
"The pleasure was all mine. You are a fast learner and a great archer to begin with. No wonder Haldir kept you a secret after all these time," said Legolas.
The afternoon was spent chatting mainly among father, Legolas and the twins. It has been a long time since the four met. Father continued to answer all of Legolas questions and most were about me. I was too embarrassed to sit there and listen to his answers, so I excused myself and left.
"Aurwen, wait," called out Elladan. "Where are you going?"
"No where actually. Just trying to get away from the embarrassments. Thinking of heading back to my chamber and rest before tonight's banquet."
"Well if you do not mind, I would love to walk you back and at the same time have a look at your arm," said Elladan.
"Are you sure about that Elladan, because I am fine. Moreover, you have lots to share with Legolas."
"I believe your father has more to share with him than me. Elrohir has already excused himself to meet Niana," he said. "Now let us head back to your chamber, so you can have your precious rest."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*** Elladan's POV ***
Grandmother, help me. I think I have fallen for Aurwen. She is enchanting and I cannot stay away from her. I have never come across such maiden. What am I to do? Oh Elbereth, help me.
