Disclaimer-No one from Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the Rings belongs to me. No way, no how do they belong to me. Nanaylia's mine though and any other original character.
Summary-When a spell goes awry, Thranduil, Legolas and Nanaylia find themselves in a strange land and are separated into two groups. They soon find people who agree to help them find their family members but they meet up with obstacles along the way in finding each other.
Author's Note-This will make references to my 'Journey of a Thousand Steps' and 'Birds of a Feather' so some things might be a tad confusing unless you've read those.

Pirates of the Elven Seas
Legolas walked up to his sister's room. He hesitated a moment before knocking on the door. He heard a 'come in' before opening the door. What he saw didn't surprise him.
"Nanay, why do you do something like that?" Legolas asked her with a laugh as he leaned against the doorframe.
Nanaylia was lying in the bed on her stomach on the bed. The wings she received from under Manlin's control were poking from her back. He watched as they twitched.
"Legolas, I've had these wings for a good portion of my life. To make me get rid of them now, well don't make me go there," she replied as she continued to read the book.
"That happened several years ago now. And what are you looking at anyway?" he wondered as he walked up to her.
He grabbed the book from out of her grasp and began to read it. He laughed as he kept her from getting the book.
"Lego! Give that back!" she cried as she leapt up from the bed.
She reached for the book but he managed to keep it out of her grasp. He laughed at her attempts to get the book from him.
"What is this? Magic spells? You're reading about magic?" he wondered as he began to read it, laughing, keeping her sister away.
"Of course. Since I went into Manlin's evil group of gargoyles, I was surrounded by it. I grew to enjoy it. It's interesting if you give it a chance," she retorted as she managed to grab the book from her brother. "It's his book but it's still interesting."
Legolas gave her an 'are you serious?' look as he crossed his arms.
"What I find interesting is that there is a form of elvish in here that is similar to our own but still different. I can still read it though somewhat," she replied as she pointed out the strange writing on some of the pages. He looked at it as well and narrowed his eyes.
"That is strange writing indeed. What is even stranger is that I can...read it as well," he murmured. "I wonder why that is?
Nanaylia narrowed her eyes as well as she looked at him. She gave a slight shrug of her shoulders. Both were confused as they looked at each other.
"That is strange Lego. Well, the book tells of a place called...Shiloria? It cannot be that right! I must be reading it incorrectly," Nanaylia cried out.
"I agree. Well, we both must be reading it incorrectly. Shiloria is a story that our father used to tell us when we were quite young," Legolas agreed as he took the book and read the elvish closer. "We are unfamiliar with this anyway. We must be mistaken."
Nanaylia nodded as her brother gave the book back to her. "We must be," she agreed.
"Now that we have that settled, I want to see you do something with this ability you have been reading about for so long," he requested of her.
"Yes, I will do that. Now this is something that I will be better than you at," she told him.
"Oh, come on now. Are you still mad at me for that recent archery contest we had?" he wondered with a smile.
She nodded as she flipped through the book. She soon gave a smile as she came to a page. She looked at it for a moment before heading towards the door. Legolas had to follow her.
"Where are you going?" he wondered.
"Outside. This is not a good spell to do indoors," she replied.

Thranduil was reading a book in his study by the fire. He was soon wondering where his children were. He was happy that Nanaylia had been found and brought home but he was slightly worried that her exposure to the dark magic had a big effect on her, even after the years since her return.
"I think I'll go see how they're doing," he murmered as he placed the book on the table and stood up.
He walked out the door and headed towards Nanaylia's room. He knew that's where she spent some of her time. He soon heard voices coming from down the hall. He smiled as he realized that it was his children. Thranduil noticed that Nanaylia didn't have her wings showing at the moment.
"Nanaylia, Legolas, where are you going?" he asked them.
The two of them looked at each other and he gave her a look that said 'you're telling him, not me.'
"It was your idea in the first place," she told her brother, knowing the look on his face.
"Well you're the one who's going to be doing it," he replied to his sister.
"I don't believe you sometimes," she said before looking at her father. "Legolas asked me to show him a magic spell. We're heading outside so I can show him."
Thranduil instantly became worried with this. He shook his head.
"No, I'm not letting you," he protested. "You could hurt others with this."
"Why do you think we're going outside to do this?" Nanaylia told him. "It is so no one gets hurt."
Thranduil sighed before relenting, giving a nod. The siblings smiled at each other as they headed outside, their father following them.
"You want to witness this as well Father?" she asked him.
"Yes, of course. If you perform anything remotely related to magic, I want to know about so I know who to blame when something goes wrong," Thranduil replied with a hint of laughter in his voice.
Nanaylia gave him a look that said 'I don't believe you' and the three made their way to a more secluded area outside the palace. Nanaylia looked at the book one last time before closing it. She spoke out in a language her brother and father barely understood. What they did know was that a veil of mist was appearing before them.
"What language was that?" wondered Legolas.
"I don't know. I can read it but I cannot understand it," she replied.
Legolas accepted the answer as he stared at the mist before them. He seemed to be impressed by it as he placed a hand on his head.
"See? I told you I could do something. I'd like to see you do that," Nanaylia told her brother. "It is strange. I can read the language the spells are in yet I barely understand what they say."
"I admit, you are good with this," Legolas told her as he placed a hand on his head.
Nanaylia appeared to be smug about her performance. She turned away from the magic she recently performed to stare at her brother and crossed her arms. Thranduil glanced at the mist to see it changing. He became worried about it as he let his daughter know about it by gesturing to it. She looked over it as she stepped up to it.
"This cannot be part of the spell. What's going on?" she demanded as she stepped forward.
A bright light then emanated from the mist, pushing them backwards. Legolas hit a tree right in the back as Nanaylia was flown to the ground and Thranduil managed to stand his ground. It lasted for only a few seconds before it disappeared, leaving the area deserted.
