A/N: Didn't get feedback on the prologue, but I decided to write the next chapter anyway. Right now I don't have much to say here except I hope you enjoy this chapter and you will possibly review?

It was still a peaceful time, but attacks by Dark Elves were increasing and the leaders of each city were starting to get worried about the situation. Leaders such as Elrond, Galadrial, Celebron, and Legolas' father, Thranduil, gathered with others in a council to discuss the attacks. The elf prince, bored with his off-duty time, wandered away from the village into the forest to explore and think. His thoughts kept turning to the old days with the fellowship; Contests with Gimli about who could kill the most orcs; The Hobbits' regular antics and discussions with Gandalf; He even missed the arguments he had with Aragorn. He sat down on a rock near one of the streams and dwelled on the memories with closed eyes.
Suddenly, the sounds of rustling, muttering, and the stretching of bow strings reached his ears. His eyes snapped open to find a band of Dark Elves right in front of him with their arrows aimed for where he was. The arrows were released from their bows and whistled towards Legolas, who dove to the ground to avoid them. Luck was on his side at the moment, when he saw that none of them even grazed him, but the group were getting ready for another assault. With his usual swiftness, Legolas leapt up and nocked an arrow, but the second wave of arrows from the Dark Elves flew at him. He narrowly dodged most of them, getting grazed by several and as he looked back at the group, the elf realized he was dangerously out-numbered.
Legolas turned and put his elvish speed to use as he ran down a path to get away from the group. The Dark Elves gave chase, occasionally shooting arrows, but the elf's retreat was stopped when he reached a cliff. He skidded to a stop and pulled out an arrow to nock on his bow. He fired it at the closest enemy, but the rest of the group soon came into short distance range and Legolas had to pull out his daggers. Fighting off the group was not easy and several sword wounds were received by the elf as he tried to push them back, but no luck. He put his daggers away and made one last effort to break through the group to retreat, but it resulted in him getting hit straight off the cliff.
As Legolas fell, he saw the dark elf responsible for his fall be slaughtered by his fellows, who shouted about needing him alive. The top of the cliff soon fell out of view, but as he closed his eyes, waiting for the impact, a strange sensation surrounded him. His eyes flew open as he saw a deep blue light blaze to life around him and he found himself falling through a strange place. Images of other worlds blurred past his vision and as the cold, tingling sensation ebbed away, he saw a blue, cloudy sky spring in front of his eyes as the strange area winked out of sight.
All of a sudden, Legolas' body hit something very solid and the impact sent stars dancing in front of his eyes. The thing he landed on was moving, but a scream came from it as it stopped, causing him to slide off on to the ground. Pain had enveloped his whole body as he lay there, listening to the sounds around him, but a large slam, followed by footsteps, caught his attention. His vision was blinded a bit by the bright sun above, but a face appeared in front of it, shading his eyes. The light from the sun seemed to create a strange aura around the face of a woman, who was trying to speak to him. The words fell on deaf ears as Legolas closed his eyes to pass out, but he took the image of her face and eerie blue-green eyes with him.
* * Earlier That Day - On Earth* *
It was a slightly cloudy day in the town of San Diego, California, but with the cool breeze from the ocean, the temperature was perfect. So perfect that a girl known for her odd choice of reading spots, was sitting in her favorite tree reading and ignoring any of her fellow college students, who laughed at her. The girl's silky, raven-black hair fell to her waist in waves, but an unusual silver streak colored a small portion of her hair. An odd one indeed, but her eyes were entrancing with their odd color of blue and green, like a deep section of the tropical ocean. Other than the kanji symbol for 'nature' tattooed on her right shoulder, the girl's appearance was fairly normal for a human.
The girl gave a group of gawking boys a wicked grin, causing them to speed away in fear of her wrath. The only one willing to approach her at this stage was another girl, who knew her well. Chuckling, a girl with copper-red hair sauntered over to the tree with her arms crossed. Her ebony brown eyes gazing up at the other girl lounging in the tree. Leaning against the trunk, the red-haired girl yawned and scratched her head a bit before speaking.
"So, how long are you staying up there this time, Robin?" she asked, casting a quizzical look at the tree girl.
Robin shrugged and replied. "Maybe a week or two, Josie." She laid back with her book. "I'm quite comfortable up here."
"You're an impossible one, you are," laughed Josie, grinning at her friend, "Must I shamefully humiliate you to get you down from there?"
"I know you're telling me to go home," sighed Robin, sitting up to glower at her friend, "Why must you joke like that, Jo?"
"You've been up there all day!" exclaimed Josie, looking exasperated, "You need to go eat or something."
"Alright, alright," said Robin, laughing and climbing down from the tree, "Let's swing by my house before grabbing lunch. I have to send something to my grandparents."
"Let's go!" yelled Josie, taking off in the direction of the parking lot with Robin following after her, laughing.
The two girls stopped next to a silver Subaru Forester and they got in once Robin had unlocked the doors. After pulling out, Robin drove down the street in the direction of her house, making occasional turns if necessary, and was having a nice conversation with Josie when something landed on her hood with a loud thud. Screaming in terror and surprise, the girl slammed on the breaks and saw something slide slowly off the car. Josie and Robin looked at each other and as the latter turned the car off, they got out to take a look.
"Oh my god, I think I killed it!" exclaimed Robin, looking panicked as she saw a boy sprawled on the ground in front of her car, "I killed a human! I won't be able to live with myself!"
"Chill out, Robin!" yelled Josie, shaking her frantic friend, "He's still breathing and besides, he slid off the hood gently! You're the one minoring in nursing! Check his wounds!"
Robin bent down over the boy and saw his eyes half open. "Hey! Are you alright?!" She saw his eyes start to close. "Stay with me, kid! Do not go near the light if you see one!"
"He's out," said Josie, surveying the boy with her calculating eyes, "Let's get him in the car and take him to your place. His wounds don't look that serious and from his position, he didn't hit his head."
Robin nodded, opening the back door and the two girls proceeded to lift the boy gently up into the back seat. After securing him in a strange way with the seatbelts, they closed the door and got in the car themselves. Driving as fast as she could without breaking the speed limit too much, Robin eventually got to a path leading into the woods and drove down it. After a few more minutes, she reached a two-story cottage and parked in front of the back door. Robin and Josie heaved the unconscious male into the house once the door was open and up to one of the spare rooms.
"That guy is heavy!" exclaimed Josie, sitting down in a chair.
Robin started to pull off the boy's heavy outer garments. "Man! Where did this guy get his costume?! It's practically authentic!" She left his pants on as she checked the various wounds from his waist up. "Good... None of them are deep enough to require stitches... This is one lucky guy!" She draped the two sheathed daggers on each post on the head of the bed.
With some help from Josie, Robin managed to use the minor skills she had to patch up the wounds on the boy and once they were done, the girls were too tired to go out for lunch. Josie bade Robin farewell before leaving for home on foot, leaving the other to finish cleaning up any dried blood from the boy and trying to figure out how to wash his clothing. In the end, she gave up on it, tossing the bloody clothes into a basket and searching for something that he could wear when he woke up. All she could find was a large robe that might fit the boy, but there wasn't a single article of clothing that would possibly fit him. After her task was done, Robin headed downstairs to make some food and eat it while the strange boy slept peacefully upstairs.

Well, they've met... barely ^_^(). Originally Robin was going to have brown hair with blonde bangs and black streaks, but that's a little TOO wild for her character. I settled on the black with the silver streak for a more mysterious look for her. I really hope you liked this first chapter! I had fun with it.
SNEAK PEEK!:
** Legolas wakes up in a panic and attempts to fight Robin with the mystical magical... Pillow??
** Sharp things should not be used on someone who patched up your wounds! It's very rude!
** The two strangers have a nice chat once a truce has been made.
