Release

"What is your name stranger so I can put it on your tombstone?" Alanna growled, her temper up at the man who was so disrespectful of Jonathan.

"Crown Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."

"Then show your face, insolent Prince, so that I may look into your eyes before I burn them out for your disrespect towards my King!" Alanna snapped.

"Alanna…"Jonathan said quietly. They were stopped by Legolas jerking his hood off, showing them his long blonde hair, his pale skin not even bruised from the hit and his pointed ears. "What the…?"

"I am an elf, as are two of my companions, the twin Princes of Rivendel Elladan and Elrohir," the twins pulled down their own hoods showing their iddentical faces to the Tortall-ans. "My other companions are humans just like yourselves but of the Dúnedain race."

"The what?" Jonathan asked.

"Dúnedain, they live twice as long as you," Legolas was calming slowly. Aragorn pulled off his hood and Eldarian slowly did the same.

"He has pointed ears," Raoul pointed to Eldarian.

"That is right, his mother is a half-elf. Later in his life he will be given the choice, mortality or immortality (not actually what happens but neh)," Aragorn said, pulling his son close to him.

"Why did you resist arrest?" Alanna asked, still not trusting the people infront of her.

"Automatic reaction," Elohir muttered.

"Well, you see, most times when we get 'arrested' as you put it we end up in a very sorry state, especially if it's orcs that have caught us," Legolas was the voted speaker by the looks of it.

"What are orcs?" Jonathan asked, not recognising the name.

"Foul disgusting beasts-"

"That were created from elves-"

"To destroy people-"

"And take pleasure from torturing innocent elves-"

"Till they are no better than the-"

"Filthy orcs themselves and-"

"Enough!" Aragorn interupted the twins tirade. The twins looked down guiltily. "Please excuse them, their mother was tortured and ra-hurt by orcs. As they said they are fould creatures bent only on killing people. They plague our world."

"I hope we never meet any of them," Raoul said.

"Are you going to release us?" Eldarian asked quietly. Jon looked at the boy who reminded him so much of Roald at that age.

"I think we can trust you," Jonathan said slowly. "On one condition..."

"What is that?" Legolas asked.

"You show us how you injured almost 27 men of the own in a few minutes."

"I think we can handle that."

A/N There we go, chappie two. Now I need your help, should this story be slash. If you answer yes who should it be between?
