"Woah!" Kori cried. "You were just calling me Caladwen! Now I'm Morwen?! I'm so confused!" Kori said as she walked over to one of the armchairs in the room and plunked herself down into it.
"Ladion, you may leave." The man said to the boy. He nodded and left the room, shutting the heavy oak door behind him. Once he was gone the man pulled up another arm chair and sat in front of Kori.
"What is your name?" He asked.
"Kori. What's going on?" Kori replied.
"Kori, I am your father.¿ My name is Legolas." the man said. Kori stared at him in shock.
"You're my dad?" Kori said in disbelief.
"Yes. Your name is Morwen, not Kori. I'm so glad that you've returned home to us!" Legolas said.
"But I'm still confused! Why were you calling me Caladwen if my name is Morwen? If you missed me so much, why did you put me in an orphanage, just so I could come back here to have my life turned upside down?" Morwen asked.
"When you were born, you were a twin. Your identical sister is Caladwen. Because your brother and I didn't know you had returned to us, we thought that you were Caladwen." Legolas replied.
"I have a brother and and twin sister!?" Morwen said in amazement. She had always grown up around other kids but she had never thought of them as her siblings. She had always thought she was an only child. How wrong she was.
"Yes. Ladion, whom you just met, is your older brother. Caladwen is the exact image of you." Legolas replied.
"Wait! If Caladwen and I are twins, why did you only send me away?" Morwen asked. Legolas sighed. He had known that this day would come, but he still didn't want to explain it.
"You see, the names Morwen and Caladwen mean Dark and Light. Morwen means Dark and Caladwen means Light. The only problem was that, as your names suggest, one of you is heartless and the other, full of love, and kindness. But it was not you who was heartless, although your name means Dark. It is your sister, Caladwen, who's name means Light, who is heartless, and you who is kind. We knew when you were at a very young age that keeping you two together as you grew up would be very dangerous to you, so we consulted a very old, wise friend, and he suggested that we send you away. We knew that nowhere on Middle-earth would be safe, so we sent you to a faraway universe, where Caladwen could do you no harm. As it is, she has no idea that she has a twin sister, and we're going to try and keep it that way for a little while longer, okay?" Legolas replied. Morwen couldn't move a muscle as she sat there dumbfounded, trying to process what she had just been told.
"So...are you saying that you sent me to Earth to grow up in an orphanage with no friends, because I have an evil twin sister?!" Morwen asked.
"More or less." Legolas replied. Morwen just slumped back in her chair with her hand supporting her head. She hugged the forgotten penguin in her hand.
"Would you like me to show you to your room?" Legolas asked.
"Please?" Morwen replied. Legolas got up and showed her to her room. It was a large room with a large four poter bed against the right wall. On the left wall was a large wardrobe and at the end of the room were large glass double doors leading out onto a balcony. Next to the doors was a large bookcase with assorted books on it's shelves. A door in the right hand corner lead to a private bathroom. Next to her bed was a beautifully carved desk with a mirror. Legolas was highly amused by the look on his daughter's face.
"Do you like it?" he asked. Morwen could only nod her head as she gaped at the beautiful room.
"I'll leave you then." Legolas said as he left the room. As soon as he had closed the door Morwen set off to explore her new bedroom. The very first thing she did, however, was place her penguin against the many feather pillows on her bed. She then looked through the books on her bookshelf and found many books on the history of Middle-earth and many maps of it as well. She then looked in her wardrobe and found many beautiful gowns. Apparently they had been expecting her to show up soon. She was confused at first about how they knew she would be coming before she realized that Caladwen would have the same birthday as her. Of course they would've gotten a room ready. She then decided to look through her very own bathroom. She found an elegant bathtub with many white bottles next to it. It looked so tempting she just had to have a bath. And she did. The shampoo smelled of watermelons, and she liked it so much that she washed her hair three times. The body wash also smelled of watermelons, so by the time she was finished her bath she smelled like a large watermelon. She wrapped herself in a towel and walked out into her room and got changed into one of the night-gowns in her wardrobe. It was made of a light blue silky material and hung to the floor. She then walked over to her desk and sat down. She found a brush on the desk so she started brushing her hair. As she brushed it she saw her ears and dropped the brush. They were pointed! She tucked her hair behind them and leaned in closer to the mirror to get a better look at them. They were definitely pointed. There was only one creature she had ever heard of that had pointed ears, and that was Santa's elves. She didn't believe in Santa or elves, but now it seemed she had no choice but to believe in elves. This was why Legolas and Ladion were dressed so weirdly and had long hair. They were elves. It was all making sense to her now, although she still didn't know where she was. She picked up her hairbrush and continued brushing her hair. She then went back to the bathroom and rubbed moisturizer over her lightly freckled face. She smelled the bottle of moisturizer: it smelled like watermelon. Apparently it was a theme in her bathroom. She wondered if everyone had a theme of different fruit. It was then that she realized how late it was. She got into her bed and slept soundly throughout the night.
In the morning she was woken by the sound of somebody walking through her room. She sat up and looked around and saw a young woman bustling about her room.
"Excuse me? What are you doing?" Morwen asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry Your Highness, did I wake you?" the young woman asked.
"Yes, and it's alright, but I'd like to know who you are and what you're doing." Morwen asked, baffled at why this woman had called her 'Your Highness'
"I am Gwirithiel, and I was about to take your dirty laundry to be washed." the woman replied.
"Oh. Okay. Carry on." Morwen replied before slumping back on her pillow. She tried to fall asleep again, but now that she was awake, she couldn't get back to sleep. Instead she got up and got dressed in a navy blue velvet gown, with a light blue boat-neck collar and long draping sleeves of the same light blue. She brushed her straight hair, and decided to leave it down. She then went to find some breakfast. In the hallway she passed many people, all who gave her strange looks as they passed. She tried to find her way to a kitchen or dining hall of some sort and failed miserably. In the end she wound up passing her brother, Ladion.
"Where are you going, Morwen?" Ladion asked her. Apparently he had been filled in on the goods about her as well.
"I was trying to find some food. You don't know where I could find some do you?" She asked. Ladion laughed at this.
"Of course I do! Come with me." Ladion said. He lead her to a large hall with long tables. There were people eating and people sitting and talking. Ladion lead her up to the largest table at the head of the room. There sat Legolas next to a large man with long brown hair and a woman who also had long brown hair.
"Morwen! Man anírach cerin an le?" Legolas asked. Morwen was confused. She didn't understand what he had said.
"Exuse me?" Morwen asked.
"You don't know Elvish do you?" Legolas asked. Morwen shook her head. "I'll have to give you some lessons, then!" Legolas said cheerfully. "Anyways, what would you like? We've got lots of food. Take a seat!" Legolas said pointing to the chair next to the woman beside him. Morwen sat down and a servant immediately came and placed a plate in front of her. There were pancakes, bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns on it, all heaped up. She then noticed how hungry she was and ate it all. A
After breakfast Morwen went with Legolas to the library and he started to teach her a few Elvish phrases. He started with a fairly simple one: My name is Morwen.
"Morwen eneth nîn." Legolas said.
"Morwen eneth nîn." Morwen replied.
"Good! Now say it again." Legolas prompted. Morwen obeyed. They spent all morning at these lessons. Eventually, however, they turned from lessons, to private conversations.
"Legolas, why was everybody giving me strange looks while I looked for the dining hall?" Morwen asked. Legolas had to think a minute on this.
"I can only guess, it is because you look so much like your sister. They all know how cruel she really is, and they also know that she has spent the past year in Lorien and won't return until the day of her 16th birthday. And as I'm sure you already know, that is in a week and a half." Legolas replied.
"OK. Why did the maid call me 'Your Highness' this morning?" Morwen asked. Legolas laughed.
"Did you not know? I'm a Prince! Your Grandfather is the King of Mirkwood. That makes you a Princess!" Legolas said with a large smile. Morwen just sat there with her jaw hanging open. Every little girl dreams of becoming a Princess, but to find out that you have an evil twin, and an older brother, a father and a mother and a grandfather, you are an elf and a princess in less then 24 hours is kind of nerve racking. Especially when you had grown up in an orphanage.
"I'm a Princess?! You've got to be kidding me!" Morwen cried disbelievingly.
"No, I'm not kidding. You are a Princess." Legolas reassured her. At this Morwen began to cry. She hugged Legolas and cried into his shoulder. Legolas was a little surprised at this. He didn't know what to do.
"Morwen?! What's wrong?" Legolas asked.
"Nothing's wrong exactly. I'm just overwhelmed by the situation." Morwen said into his shoulder. Legolas just smiled and rubbed her back.
Once she had finished crying she was feeling much better about the truth. She didn't feel so overwhelmed anymore.
"Would you like a tour of the castle?" Legolas offered.
"Of course!" Morwen readily replied.
Legolas showed her all of the hallways and passages through the castle, where everything was, and everything in general. That took quite a long time because the castle of Mirkwood wasn't small. After the inside tour he took her on an outside tour. It was a beautiful day out. The sun was shining, it wasn't too cold or too hot. It was perfect. Legolas and Morwen were just walking around outside in the sunshine, just soaking it in, when they heard a call from behind them.
"Ada! Ada!" Somebody called. They stopped and Legolas had a strange look on his face.
"Legolas?" Morwen asked in confusion. Legolas didn't reply.
"Ada!" The voice called again. Legolas and Morwen turned around.
"Hello Caladwen!" Legolas said.
