As they neared the civilisation, Legolas still scowling at Tasha but her ignoring him, she started to take notice of her surroundings. Trees grew on both sides of the path, reaching up to the sky. Strangely, none were growing on the road. Upon reaching the gate, the elves on guard immediately raised their bows threateningly. Tasha sidestepped until Aragorn stood between her and the guards. A slight sound in the trees to her left and right caught her attention. Placing her hand on aragorn's shoulder, she mind spoke to him.
"There are elves to our left and right. They are suspicious of me. They don't like me."
Then, surprising everyone there, she disappeared.
A laugh erupted from the sky. Tasha floated above the gathering. Aragorn believed she was back to her other self. On one hand, she was a quiet, calm girl, who needed protecting, though other times she was a strong willed woman with no faults and great power. Six elves, including the two guards started to shoot at her.
She disappeared, reappearing behind Legolas. She unsheathed one of his blades before she was gone again. Then, one by one, she appeared behind the elves and smartly rapped them on the temple hard enough to knock them out. When she returned the knife to Legolas, they and Aragorn were the only ones left standing. Everyone else lay on the floor, unconscious. When Legolas had possession of his weapon, he glanced between it and Tasha for a moment before using his elven reflexes, hitting her on the head as she had done to the guards. Tasha's world went black as she crumpled to the ground.
Lord Elrond of Rivendell strode down the hall purposefully towards the rooms where his fallen guards were residing. Entering the first room, he checked on its occupant. Despite himself, he was impressed by this strange girls fighting technique. She had hit them hard enough so that they were out for several hours but no permanent damage was done. He had also heard from her companions at the time that they had no idea they would come across a girl who could disappear at will and fly.
Making sure that the guard would be comfortable when he awoke, he similarly checked the others before heading to the opposite end of the hall where Aragorn and Legolas were watching over their strange new visitor. When he had allowed the two to check out the surrounding woods for anything dangerous he was not expecting them to return with a magically adept warrior. A female at that.
When he opened the door and entered the room, he was unusually surprised by what he saw. Legolas, usually a reserved elf, was rolling on the floor laughing while Aragorn was trying to comfort Tasha who was yelling obscenities at him. He reached out towards her and, in a moment of silence, she too reached out. As their fingers met it looked as if she sent some sort of shock through him. Aragorn went scrambling back across the room and Legolas, who had managed at last to breathe, burst out laughing once again. Elrond found himself letting out a slight chuckle at the spectacle before him. That was when the girl took notice of him. Keeping a wary eye on Aragorn and rolling her eyes at Legolas, she crept towards him. Aragorn looked as if he was going to interfere, but a slight shake of the lord's head and he desisted. When she reached Elrond, she put his face between her hands and looked deep into his eyes. Not sure what was happening, he maintained eye contact. Then she let out a relieved laugh and threw herself at him, hugging him fiercely.
Tasha held onto Elrond, not letting go for fear of him going away. Tasha sensed a kindred spirit in this tall, regal looking, yet unknown man, though she was still unsure of what precise area he was involved in. She knew he had no idea who she was and what she was doing so she released him and pulled him inside the room, forcefully pushing him into the nearest chair. Then she grabbed legolas's feet and dragged him out of the room, dumping him unceremoniously on the floor in the middle of the hall. Then she headed back inside, ready to do the same to Aragorn. He, knowing what she wanted, held his hands up in defeat and calmly walked past her and out into the hall towards Legolas who was now standing and brushing non existent dirt off his clothes.
Tasha then shut the door in their faces before turning back to talk to Lord Elrond. He just sat there looking at her curiously. Sighing, she sat on the end of the bed and inhaled deeply. After a moment, as it looked like she wasn't going to say anything, Elrond spoke.
"You wanted to talk to me?"
"Yeah, Um what do you know about kindred spirits?"
"I know that it is someone who you feel extremely close to."
"Partially, but I'm talking about a different type. If one of these people die, their power is transferred to the spirit who is closest to them out of all their kindred. As far as I know, there are circles of kindred, one of which I am connected to. All circles include five members with different elements and specific powers. In my wheel, there is Telekinesis, based on Electricity, which is obviously me. There is also Healing based on earth, influence based on fire, flight based on atmosphere and power based on void, which in other words is nothing. This is a sort of connector between all of them. My dad, David was atmosphere, but when he died it was passed on to me so I can now control the atmosphere, making me able to fly. I think you are Earth, but I can only know a kindred when I actually see them."
"How do you know all this?"
"Call it instinct, intuition or any other word you can come up with the same meaning."
Elrond nodded gravely, pondering these thoughts.
"I'd should allow you to rest now. Goodnight."
"Goodnight" Tasha replied as Elrond walked out of the door, closing it behind him. Moment's later Tasha fell backwards onto the bed and lay there, deep in thought until drifting off to sleep.
