Disclamer: I don't own Legolas but I do own everyone else. Set before the
War of the Ring which is why there aren't many references to LOTR in this
story. Two girls, Leila and Shí disguise themselves as men and join the
army. It's an elvish sort of Mulan with two heroines. Shí/Ahora.
Legolas/Leila. (For once none of the characters are based on me!) The
original version of this story was a swap story between me and my mate Liz.
Ada means father and Nana mother.
The way I'm doing the elves ages is that 500 is the equivalent of a 5 year old so 1500 is a 15 year old. Basically minus the 2 0's and you got the age they look like. And I'm having it that they stop growing at 2000 or 20 so that's why they always look so young. Got it?
To all those who flamed about Éowyn already doing this...she is a human! These are elves. Éowyn fought in one battle, these two fight in lots and train for years. If you notice the whole of the elven army is male so I thought this fitted. Éowyn may do the same but this is set a long time before Return of the King OK? I know Éowyn is a cool character, one of my favourites actually but this is totally different to her. One small note which had been pointed out to me, the reason the girls have joined the army is explained later on because I know it says they wasn't girl power basically but later on it is explained why girl power is so important to them.
This is dedicated to Liz who helped me start it and has told me in person that she loves the fight scenes and ended up cheering out when she was reading it (causing her parents to look at her).
Thanks to whoever it was that informed me about the kids name promlem. This Tinw( is supposed to say T-I-N-W-E but the e has 2 dots over it but it doesn't work sometimes.

Hidden Identity
Chapter 21, Not Again!
(Liz wrote this bit so you can guess what's in it!)
Leila was sitting on the bed, already in her night dress when Legolas walked in. Elrond had replaced her bandages after giving her more herbs after the little 'incident' and told her not to over exert herself. "Hello" he said as he sat down. "Hello" she replied as he put an arm around her. They sat in silence for a moment, Legolas was about to break the silence when Leila kissed him hard on the mouth. She had lost all her self control due to the herbs Elrond had given her. "Take me, now" Leila demanded as she pushed Legolas on the bed. His hands shot to her waist as she straddled him, kissing him deeply. She moaned as his bulge rubbed against her already swollen clit. "But...but...but...your hurt!" Legolas exclaimed as he tried to get her off him. "I don't care! I want you! I NEED you!" Leila kissed him again. "You could die!" Legolas whispered as she began rocking back and forth making him harder than her actions had already made him, her hands playing with his hair, causing it to come out of it's warrior braids. "Do I really care" Leila moaned as she rocked harder. She sat upright as she tugged at his tunic off, after a few moments they were both naked on the bed. Legolas rolled over so that he was on top. "I love you" he whispered tenderly in her ear as he slid inside her. "I love you too" Leila moaned as he moved inside her. He thrust harder and harder until they both their bodies shock in ecstasy. Slowly he moved out of her, pulling her into his arms as she rested her head on his strong chest. "Goodnight, my love" Legolas whispered, kissing the top of her head. "'night" Leila mumbled as she snuggled closer to him, letting sleep take her.
Elsewhere,
"Risen?" Eriaur called into her room. "Eriaur?" Risen said when she saw him "What are you doing here?" she asked, motioning for him to take a seat next to her on the bed. "I wanted to see how you were feeling" he said shyly "So..um..how are you feeling?" he added, a blush rising in his cheeks. "Better" she replied simply. He smiled warmly at her. "Risen, I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me? Just around the gardens, its such a lovely day after all" he said. As he began to stand up Risen took hold of his hand and pulled him back down onto the bed. "Actually ,Eriaur, I would rather stay here. The past few days have been so hectic I just want to sit, and just...well...be I guess" she smiled at him. "Well then, I will leave you to...umm...be" he mumbled rushing to the door. "Eriaur! Wait!" she moved towards him as he stopped and turned to face her, "I would really like to just...be...with you" she mumbled shyly, getting quieter and quieter as she spoke. "Really? You want to be with me?" Eriaur asked, not quite daring to believe his ears. "More than anything" she whispered breathlessly as he leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was tender and gentle, and for a moment they just stood there and held each other. "And I you, Risen, more than even my own life" Eriaur said sincerely as he rested his head on hers. "Eriaur?" Risen asked tentatively. "Yes, my love?" he replied, moving his head to face her. She took a moment to bask in the joy of what he had just called her. "W-Would you stay with me tonight, here in my room, and just hold me? Recently I have been feeling so lonely and I have dreamt of it for so long, and the last time someone held me was before Leila left the village and I was a little girl" she asked blushing. "I would do anything for you, and this would be my pleasure" he said kissing the top of her head. She smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Risen?" he asked, pulling away slightly so that he could see her. "Yes?" she replied, looking deep into his eyes. "I love you" he whispered, only just load enough for her to hear it. The smile on her face grew, and she kissed him deeply on the mouth. She pulled away and looked at him. "I love you, too" his smile grew and they just sat there looking at each other for what seemed like an eternity.
(Me writing time, it continues from Liz's last bit)
"I'll go change for bed and be right back" Eriaur said, leaving the room quickly. Risen pulled the night dress Arwen had lent her and changed into it. She let her long blonde hair down and began the slightly laborious job of brushing. The door opened and Eriaur walked in, dressed only in light sleeping trousers and shirt.
"I've just got to brush my hair" Risen said to him, flinching as she found a rather nasty knot. Eriaur walked up behind her and took the brush from her, gently taking over the job of brushing it.
"I used to do this for Harnan all the time, he hated brushing it himself" Eriaur explained to her slightly amused face as he got rid of the knot gently. Once he finished he led her slowly to the bed and they got in, slightly awkwardly. Eriaur pulled her towards him and soon they were spooned together and Risen smiled slightly as she fell asleep using Eriaur's cheast as a pillow. Eriaur stayed awake a while longer and just stroked Risen's hair lightly.
Next Morning,
Leila mumbled something as she woke up and almost immediately froze. She'd just supposedly woken from a grand dream where she and Legolas made love again, only by the look's of it, it hadn't been a dream at all as Leila noticed that they were both naked.
"Not again" she hissed as she disentangled herself from Legolas's still sleeping form. He moaned and his arms around her tightened. "Great, it must have been those stupid herbs" Leila muttered to herself. "Oh please don't let me be pregnant again" she pleaded with no one really. She forced sleeping Legolas to let go of her and then, getting into the first dress she found ran outside so she wouldn't be anywhere near there when he woke up.
4 Weeks Later,
"Oh no, no-no-no-no!" Leila mumbled as the Healer told her the worst possible news an unmarried woman could hear...again. Her left hand went to her heart while her right covered her mouth.
"I'm sorry Leila but you are pregnant again" the healer told her sadly.
"Don't tell anyone any of this unless you really-really-really have to" Leila ordered him once she'd got her composure back.
"But-"the healer protested.
"Not a word or you'll find out first hand what castration feels like" Leila threatened before walking quickly from the room. The healer flinched. Leila ran out to the gardens, sat on an empty bench and cried into her hands for an hour.
4 Weeks Later,
Leila woke up before dawn to run to the bathroom to be sick. It was becoming fewer times in the morning that she was sick now, but her stomach had started to bulge ever so slightly. She washed her mouth out and slowly got dressed into one of the dresses Arwen had made for her when she had been 'Melyanna'. It was blue and was sewn in the Imladris style, instead of a darker bodice like the dresses in Mirkwood it had only a thin dark strap beneath her breasts. The sleeves were flared allot and darker piece of material formed a mini-cloak that didn't even reach her elbow's but protected her shoulders. There was also a matching headpiece which had a thick band which covered her ears and held her hair back from her face and a cord going around the back on top of her hair taming it slightly. Whenever Leila wore it she pulled the slightly shorter stands of her hair infront of the main band. Once she was ready she headed down to the dining hall for breakfast.
"Hey Leila" Elrohir said when she entered. He was the only one there as he was a naturally early riser, unlike the rest of the household. Leila sat next to him and started eating. "How are you feeling?"
"A little bit off" Leila admitted.
"You would generally expect that considering you're pregnant again" Elrohir said calmly.
"How the...?" Leila was shocked.
"I heard you talking to yourself last night about not telling everyone being a necessary but bad thing. I disagree with necessary bit" Elrohir said, looking her in the eye.
"I can't tell everyone, I just can't Elrohir" Leila said downheartedly. Just then other people came in for breakfast. Leila made a small throat slicing motion to Elrohir who glared at her. He stood up and pulled her to her feet before marching her out of the room. "Elrohir..."
"I'm not going to tell anyone because it's for you to tell, not me. But I must know one thing, is it the same father?" Elrohir asked quietly.
"Of course it is! I'm not a common whore Elrohir! I love him and I'm not going to go off with some other guy for a fumble!" Leila snapped angrily, turning to go. Elrohir put his hands on her shoulders to stop her.
"I didn't mean that Leila, I just want you to think for a minute. If you were in his shoes how would you feel finding out late or from someone else that you're carrying his child, again. I would feel angry and hurt but most of all..." Elrohir trailed off.
"Un-Loved" Leila finished for him, looking very sad and guilty. "I-I- I...must go and, um, speak to him" Leila mumbled, turning and running up the stairs to Legolas's room, hoping he would still be there. He was, still sound asleep in his bed. Leila paused, a look of tenderness crossing her face as she turned to go. "I'll tell him later" she said quietly.
"Tell me what?" Legolas asked sleepily, turning to face her.
"Nothing" Leila said quickly, turning to face him, blushing deep red.
"If it was nothing why did you come here and why are you blushing?" Legolas asked smiling. "Come and sit down and tell me what you weren't really going to tell me." Leila smiled despite herself and sat next to him. She took a deep breath and began talking.
"You know a few weeks ago we...well yeah?" Leila asked quietly.
"Yes of course I do" Legolas said.
"Do you know of the term 'Cause and Effect'?" Leila asked nervously.
"Yes" Legolas said suspiciously.
"That was the cause, care to take a guess on the effect?" Leila asked, looking away from him while her hand subconsciously went to her stomach.
"You mean you're..." Legolas trailed off, pointing to her stomach. Leila nodded and sobbed. Legolas was in mild shock and he was numbly aware of putting his arms around Leila and letting her sob into his shoulder. He slowly came out of his dazed state and rubbed her back gently, trying to calm her.
"This //gasp// is so not //gasp// good" Leila mumbled, rubbing at her eyes. Legolas caught her hands and held them to his cheast.
"I'm sorry" he said. Leila tried to say something but he carried on talking. "But I have a solution and I can guarantee that you won't agree to it and that my father will take allot of convincing...marry me" Leila froze and silence reigned until she gasped in a breath sharply.
"But...you're a Prince, the Crown Prince! Your father...he-he hates me and...it would ruin you...I" Leila stuttered.
"I don't care about that. Leila, every time I look at you a little voice in my head tells me we are meant to be together and so I couldn't care less what everyone else would think. You've already had my son, and there are no word's I can use to show my happiness and gratitude. I love you, I really do and I want you to be my wife. Please" Legolas pleaded with her, his eyes boring into her sole.
"I love you too...but your crown..."Leila mumbled.
"I'll give it up" Legolas said quickly.
"You can't! The people look up to you, need you!"
"As I need you. Leila, please?"
"I...Well I-I don't know. It's too much and...your father..."
"Leila please?" Legolas tilted her head up with his fingers and kissed her gently. "Please?"
"Yes" Leila breathed. Legolas smiled broadly and crushed her in a hug, kissing her hair and the side of her face repeatedly.
They were now stood side by side infront of Elrond, the Twins, Arwen, Eriaur, Risen and Pedi, Leila studying the floor closely. Legolas coughed and everyone focussed on him.
"We have 2 important things to tell you" Legolas said.
"3" Leila mumbled.
"3 important thing then. The first is that we must soon return to Mirkwood for I need to speak with my father." Eriaur and Risen glanced at each other sadly before turning their gaze back Legolas and Leila. "The second is that...well Leila has consented to be my wife." At this everyone looked mildly surprised before clapping loudly or congratulating them.
"What's the third thing?" Arwen asked as she hugged Leila.
"It's not important really, well ever so slightly, well allot really. I'm kinda...pregnant again" Leila admitted. Arwen squealed and hugged her even tighter. Risen stared in shock.
"I don't get it. I'm bored and my head hurts from thinking" Pedi said confused. Elrond picked her up easily and started talking to her, to keep her childish mind happy.
"Can't guess what brought on the proposal" Elladan said sarcastically to Elrohir.
"At least they are getting married" Elrohir said. He went over and hugged Leila. "Well done" he whispered to her and she smiled at him. Legolas pulled Leila towards him and stood behind her with his arms around her waist. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Eriaur smile shyly at Risen before putting his arm around her.
'Young love' he thought, smiling to himself.
Next Day,
"Elrohir! You can't give him to me, you love him!" Leila gasped in shock as Elrohir gave her the reign's to his best horse.
"Yes I can, you don't have a horse and he likes you better than he likes me" Elrohir said. At this the horse went towards Leila. "See." Leila laughed quietly and hugged him.
"Thank you" she whispered before she let go and petted the horse happily. Elladan also came over and childishly demanded a hug as well and Leila happily granted his wish, laughing. Pedi giggled as Shí lifted her onto her horse before climbing up after her. Legolas and Elrohir both had to help Leila up onto the horse and she looked a little unbalanced on it. Eriaur climbed up and helped Risen up with his hand so she was sat behind him, her arms around his waist. Legolas mounted and waited for Leila to say her final goodbyes. He was tenderly holding his son in his arms so that Leila didn't have to worry over the little boy as well.
"Safe journey and write to me about the wedding" Elrond said to Leila, and she leaned down to give him a hug.
"I will" she said. She waved to the other people that had gathered to seem them off and was about to go when Arwen ran up to her, handing her another bag.
"My gift to you" Arwen said breathlessly. Leila felt tears fall down her face and she pulled out one of her favourite daggers.
"And mine to you, practice your left thrust's the most" Leila said smiling. Arwen laughed and took the fine blade. The Mirkwood group kicked their heels gently and sped out of Imladris, Legolas in the lead.
A/N Sorry it's a bit long but I wanted to make up for that short chapter...guess I did make up for it eh? Next chapter is the wedding, but before that convincing Tharanduil to let them marry and how will he cope with his grandson?
The way I'm doing the elves ages is that 500 is the equivalent of a 5 year old so 1500 is a 15 year old. Basically minus the 2 0's and you got the age they look like. And I'm having it that they stop growing at 2000 or 20 so that's why they always look so young. Got it?

"Thank you" she whispered before she let go and petted the horse happily. Elladan also came over and childishly demanded a hug as well and Leila happily granted his wish, laughing. Pedi giggled as Shí lifted her onto her horse before climbing up after her. Legolas and Elrohir both had to help Leila up onto the horse and she looked a little unbalanced on it. Eriaur climbed up and helped Risen up with his hand so she was sat behind him, her arms around his waist. Legolas mounted and waited for Leila to say her final goodbyes. He was tenderly holding his son in his arms so that Leila didn't have to worry over the little boy as well.
"Safe journey and write to me about the wedding" Elrond said to Leila, and she leaned down to give him a hug.
"I will" she said. She waved to the other people that had gathered to seem them off and was about to go when Arwen ran up to her, handing her another bag.
"My gift to you" Arwen said breathlessly. Leila felt tears fall down her face and she pulled out one of her favourite daggers.
"And mine to you, practice your left thrust's the most" Leila said smiling. Arwen laughed and took the fine blade. The Mirkwood group kicked their heels gently and sped out of Imladris, Legolas in the lead.
A/N Sorry it's a bit long but I wanted to make up for that short chapter...guess I did make up for it eh? Next chapter is the wedding, but before that convincing Tharanduil to let them marry and how will he cope with his grandson?
