Elladan continued to look at the blood covering the tree. All were continuing to wonder how it could have gotten there.

"I feel that one of them has an injury. A serious one. Which one, I cannot tell," Galadriel said as gently she placed a hand over the bloody area. "This did not come from an animal. It is too high for animals living in this area."

"Nanaylia was performing a spell, one of the three becomes hurt and comes in contact with the tree just before the three of them disappear completely into thin air," Elrohir mused as he placed a hand on his chin.

"But where would they have gone to?" wondered Elladan as he turned away from his brother and sister. "And when?"

"I suppose just recently. I mean, we're talking about the royal family of Mirkwood. I doubt the guards here would simply leave the three out of their sight for very long, especially if they happened to come all the way out here. And I feel that especially after Nanaylia has returned just a mere few years ago, they wouldn't want her to disappear again so soon," Haldir mused as he placed a hand on his chin as well.

Galadriel could sense a feeling of sadness surrounding Elladan. It was almost as if he was worried about what should happen to the royal family of Mirkwood.

"We will find them Elladan. They will come back home," she quietly told him so that the others could not hear. "I have a strong feeling they will be and soon."

Elladan had to give a smile at that statement. Something in her voice reassured him over the situation.

Galadriel son put on a sad look before placing a hand on her forehead.

"Nanaylia," she quietly said. "Where are you?"

The arrow struck the hat and embedded itself in a nearby pillar. Norrington quickly twirled around in the direction that the arrow came from and saw the man who had shot it at him.

"What the...?" asked Norrington as he looked at the strange man before him.

His men also looked at the 'man' before them. They were just as surprised by such an action.

"We'd better get out of here," murmured Will before he headed over to the elf.

Norrington tried to stop Will from getting to Thranduil and failed, Will just out of his grasp. The blacksmith grabbed Thranduil's wrist and began to pull him out of the shop.

"Why are you doing this?" wondered the elf once they got outside.

"I am going to help you find your children. You won't be of any use to either of them if Norrington delays you at all for any reason. I think he saw you before he arrived. He might want to question you and probably prevent you from searching for them," Will explained as he began to head towards the docks.

Thranduil began to follow him, looking over his shoulder as he did so at the building they just ran out of.

###

Norrington stepped out of the blacksmith shop just in time to see the two head towards the docks.

"I want those two in my custody as soon as possible. I have questions for the both of them when they are," Norrington told the men with him.

The men went after the two as Norrington stayed in the one position, watching the two run down towards the docks.

"I want to know his secrets. I want to know his name and everything about him. Where he came from, who his friends are and why he's here with William Turner," muttered Norrington.

###

Will led Thranduil down to the docks as Elizabeth ran down around the boats and ships. Her stare soon came to the two and she hurried over to them.

"I hurried out as fast I could to find you," Elizabeth told him.

"I tihnk explanations should be kept until later. Commodore Norrington is out looking for me and my new friend..." Will started.

Elizabeth looked at Thranduil with curious eyes as Will continued to speak.

"What are you?" she finally asked, finally noticing the pointy ears.

"I am an elf, now can we please go find Legolas and Nanaylia?" he asked, sounding impatient.

"Before you ask, they're his children and one of them looks just like me," Will replied before she could say anything.

Elizabeth nodded as they headed towards the docks. Will looked back to see that the soldiers were getting ever closer to their position.

"Come on, let's get on one!" cried Will as they hurried onto one that appeared just about ready to leave.

"We need you to help us," Elizabeth told the captain.

"No, a woman on board is bad luck," he replied with a shake of his head.

"If you don't leave with me on this ship, it will be more than bad luck coming down on your head," threatened Elizabeth as she grabbed the man's collar.

"I am sorry but I cannot help you," the captain replied.

"Not even the governer's daughter who has a friend who needs to find his children?" she replied in a quiet voice.

"But miss, we aren't even coming around here again," he told her.

"I realize that but I need your help in finding a friend of ours. He'll bring us back here once we get his help in finding someone," Elizabeth explained.

The captain began to think about the proposition as an impatient Elizabeth stood before him. The elf gave an impatient sigh before he stepped up to the man and palced an arrow in his face. The captain quivered.

"I cannot wait for this. My family is somewhere out there. Now, you can either take us to find them or we can deal with things another way. That would be my way and I do not think you want it to be that way," Thranduil told him.

"Alright, I think we're going to help you find your children," the captain said before giving orders to the crew.

The ship began to sail away just before Norrington and his men reached the docks. They looked at the ship sailing away from them in disbelief. Norrington saw Will at the stern of the ship. The young man was looking back at the docks at the commodore.

"I will find out about this man, Turner. We've had many encounters in the past. I suppose you and your friend are going to be finding Jack Sparrow," muttered Norrington before turning to the men. "We will take the Dauntless out. We have to find Turner and the man who is with him. I have a strong feeling he was behind the storm just recently."

They hurried towards the docks where the Dauntless quietly sat.

###

Nanaylia walked out of the cabin and up to Sonja, who was standing almost right outside the door.

"How is your brother?" asked the female pirate.

"He is doing well. The injury he suffered will heal soon," replied the female elf.

"Jack tells me we're going to help you find your father," Sonja quietly said, lowering her eyes.

"He told you? Yes, we are looking for him. We came here from another world and we were separated from him. I have been separated from him before, for countless years. It is not a good feeling to be away from him again. I am sure you do not know how this feels," Nanaylia told her.

"I do actually. I hardly knew my father when I was a young lass. When my mother died, I went searching for someone. Little did I know that it was my father that I was searching for all those years," Sonja explained with a small smile.

"So you found him?" Nanaylia wondered, the curiousity in her voice.

"My father's Jack Sparrow," Sonja whispered. "So yes, I did find him."

Nanaylia smiled at the comment. She was glad that someone else was reunited by their family member. All of a sudden, she began to feel a headache coming on. She placed a hand over her eyes. Sonja became worried with the gesture.

"What is wrong?" she wondered.

"I do not know exactly but whatever it is, it is increasing," Nanaylia replied.

"Maybe you should go in and be with your brother," suggested Sonja as they went inside.

Nanaylia sat down next to her brother, who became worried with the sight of his sister in obvious pain.

"What is wrong?" he asked as he painfully climbed to a sitting position.

"I am unsure Lego," Nanaylia replied as the pain bega to increase.

'Nanaylia,' she distantly heard in her mind. 'Where are you?'

"Lady Galadriel?" she absently said.

Legolas was surprised with what she said.

"Lady Galadriel?" he quietly said to himself. "How can she contact Nanay from all the way in Middle Earth?"

'Nanaylia, where are you?' the young female elf heard again.

Nanayli tried to answer but didn't know how to do so.

"What do I do now?" she asked, facing Legolas.

She looked at him with pleading eyes but he did not have an answer for her. She heard Galadriel speak again and this time, the elder elf knew what to tell her.

###

Galadriel snapped out of her trance and looked around her. She was still in the Mirkwood forest, near the tree with the blood on it from the injury that Legolas had suffered. Her stare came to Celeborn, who was standing next to her with a worried look on his face.

"What happened? What did you do?" he demanded as Haldir, the twins and Arwen stood nearby.

Chimone was also nearby, watching from beside Arwen.

"I tried to contact Nanaylia," she replied, placing a hand on her forehead.

"I thought you said you didn't know where she was. I didn't think you were that powerful enough to reach someone that you didn't know where they are," Elladan mused.

"I managed to contact her just the same. I will explain later how I did so. They are in another world. She is with Legolas and he is the one who is injured. Thranduil is not with the two of them and I do not know where he is as of now," she replied.

"They have been separated? How are they going to find each other then? They are in an unknown world with unknown people," Haldir wondered.

"I am a bit unsure how but I sense they have allies with them as we speak. But there is fear in the back of my mind that something will occur that might rule the fate of them all," Galadriel replied.

Everyone's mouths were wide open when they heard that statement.

"No. It can't be like this," Elladan quietly said. "I do not like the sound of that."
