Disclaimer: I own nothing associated with Lord of the Rings it all belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien and the movie producers. I only own Amaris and any character outside of Middle Earth.

Number 7: Archery

Amaris had to run a little bit to catch up with Aragorn and Legolas who had walked some distance before they realized she wasn't behind them. "Amin hiraetha. I stopped to speak to Lord Elrond for a moment." Aragorn smiled and turned around Legolas did the same. (I'm sorry)

They led her through a path in the forest but Amaris almost lost them twice because she stopped to take in the beauty around her. Amaris loved the woods. She grew up in northern Minnesota and was always doing something in the woods. She camped often and never in her life had she seen such a beautiful woods. If Rivendell was this beautiful, she couldn't wait to see Lothlorien. Aragorn and Legolas glanced back at the woman who kept trailing behind.

"She's fascinated by the trees," Legolas said as he turned to his friend. Aragorn looked at Legolas and smiled.

"Aye that she is. It doesn't surprise me though."

"Really? What makes you say that?"

"The way she looks at things. Watch her and you will see what I mean." Aragorn smiled and stopped as they reached the clearing. They saw Glorfindel examining a bow with a smile on his face. "Glorfindel! How are you?" The elf lowers the bow and smiles.

"I am well and you? I have heard of your journey ahead. I hope it goes smoothly."

"As do I. We have brought Lady Amaris here. Lord Elrond said she was to meet with you." Glorfindel nods.

"Yes. I am to give her this bow for the journey as well as ensure that her skills are good enough and to see if she needs any training." Aragorn turns to introduce Amaris to Glorfindel when he does he doesn't see her.

"Amaris?" He pauses and no answer. "Legolas, did you see where she went?"

"Nay. I will go search the path for her. Maybe she stepped off and lost her way." He pats Aragorn on the shoulder and heads back into the woods. He walks down the path a little ways and stops when he hears something to his right. He looks in the direction of the sound and sees movement. He makes his way to the movement and stops when he realizes what it is. Amaris is in a spot of wild flowers and picking ones of random colors while humming. He smiles as he watches her pick the last flower and bind the bouquet with a binding from her wrist. She brings the flowers to her nose and smells them. She looks towards the ground and smiles. She stands and begins to make her way back to the path. Legolas quickly leaves and rushes silently back to the clearing. Aragorn spots him rushing and fears the worst.

"Is everything alright?" he asks.

"Everything is fine. I spotted her in a spot of wild flowers. She is on her way here."

"Did she see you?" Aragorn asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nay. She was returning to the path when I saw her. I thought it best to leave her be." Legolas finished speaking and Amaris came into the clearing with a smile on her face.

"I am sorry once again. I spotted these flowers and I couldn't resist." She says as she gently set the flowers down on a flat stone. She walks over and joins Aragorn and Legolas.

"It is alright. Amaris, this is Glorfindel an archer of Rivendell." Amaris smiles at him and bows her head.

"Saesa omentien lle Glorfindel." She smiles at his surprised expression and bows his head to her. (Pleasure meeting you)

"Mae govannen Amaris" He smiles at the young woman and holds out his hand. She takes it and he leads her to the shoot range. (Well met)

Aragorn and Legolas follow intrigued as to her skill with a bow. Glorfindel stops and hands her the bow. "This is beautiful. Thank you." Glorfindel smiles as he watches the young woman inspect the bow and pull to check the tension.

"Lord Elrond wished for me to check your skills to see if you require any additional training." Amaris smiled at him.

"I don't know if I need additional training. I have used a bow for 21 years Glorfindel my father taught me well as a child and I am an instructor in the art. However, I have never used a bow as lovely as this one." She smiled at his expression and took an arrow from his hand. She got into position and brought the arrow back. She found her mark and glanced at the men beside her as she released the arrow. She heard a distinct thud and smiled. The men stood there surprised as they had watched the arrow land directly in the middle of the target. They turned back to the young woman who was smiling at them. "I will practice more before we leave. Thank you again for the beautiful bow, quiver and arrows." She walked over and picked up the bouquet of flowers and made her way back to the city. When she left the clearing Aragorn laughed.

"I don't think she needs anymore training Glorfindel," Aragorn said. Glorfindel was still looking at the arrow in the target.

"I guess you're right Aragorn." Glorfindel smiles and Legolas smiles as well. They leave the clearing and head back into the city for lunch that will be served soon.
