1. Prologue

Prologue

Legends live forever. Tales are weaved about the things that we achieve. Songs are sung, pictures are made and people talk about the events of years gone by for eons to come.

Fate. Is there truly such a thing as fate? Or do we make our own destinies? So much of life is small coincidences that have major consequences. We can change thousands of lives with the smallest change to the things we do.

So what if we do? Will everything change, as we know it? Can the smallest of people change the fate of many? And what about one small event that seems so insignificant?

So basically, I was reading a bunch of role-plays and one of the favourite pairing that came up was: Arwen/Legolas. Yes, I know. What a shock. But that's what happened. So, after some persuasion from my online role-play buddies, I was roped into writing an Arwen and Legolas story. But why stop it there? I thought, lets be daring and change the whole story by making Legolas and Arwen be together through the War of the Ring. But then I thought, poor Aragorn, he needs someone to love too, so he gets someone. Maybe. If he is good. So he may end up alone. So this is my alternate universe Lord of the Rings: Wandering Stars series.
