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 problem. 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.

Chapter 24, I Hate Horses
"It is good to have you back with us Leila, the house has been quite without you" Elrond said smiling as he made Leila sit on the bed in the healing room. Leila shoved him playfully and pouted. This would have made Elrond fear her wrath if she hadn't been smiling broadly at the same time. Elrond smiled and started his checks on Leila's baby. "Well it seems as healthy as the last one" he told her when he'd finished.
"Yeah well..." Leila muttered.
"What?" Elrond asked.
"I wish I wasn't pregnant" Leila said quickly. Elrond sat beside her, looking as ever very fatherly.
"Why?" he asked kindly.
"Because I don't want to bring another bastard child into the world that will never know it's father" Leila said sadly. Elrond was surprised her un-feminine frankness, until he remembered that she spent years as a man. "You can't understand how hard it is to love a bastard child."
"Do you truly believe that? You love your son. I know you do, and you'll love this one when it comes" Elrond said. Leila looked down, obviously ashamed of her earlier admission. "Now I think you need a little rest, your room is ready and I'll come by later to check on you" Elrond said, while standing slowly. Leila stood up and walked to her room, in which she found Elrohir putting a sleeping Tinw( into the larger of the 2 cribs. When he saw her he went over to her and took her arm to steady her as she looked a little un-safe.
"Thank you Elrohir" Leila said, for she was truly too tired to do anything other than sleep all of a sudden. "I think the trip has caught up on me" she mumbled.
"Well then you should rest" Elrohir said, leading her to her bed.
"That's what your father said" Leila said smiling sleepily. "I don't think I even have the energy to change" she muttered, sitting down on the bed. Elrohir grinned and pulled her shoes off for her. Leila smiled a thank you at him as she lay down, she was asleep before her head hit the pillow. Elrohir smiled and pulled the covers up to her shoulders.
"How could he let you go?" he asked quietly, gently stroking her light blonde hair before going over to the crib where Tinw( lay sprawled on his back with his little arms and legs flung out. Elrohir loved the little boy, just as he had grown to love Leila. But now he loved Leila differently. But he knew she would never return his feelings for she still loved Legolas who was foolish enough to let her go. He put the tiny blanket over Tinw( before leaving the room.
"We will ride to the south where a pack of wargs has been reported approaching a village, then we shall kill them before they can spill elven blood" Legolas told the group of warriors before him. They all new how dangerous wargs could be and the damage they could cause. "We ride in an hour, get what you need for that but we travel light."
Shí walked to her rooms and changed out of her more formal tunic into her fighting one. Ahora looked up from her book as Shí put on her sword scabbard and quiver with built in knife holders. Then she began sharpening her weapon's.
"What's going on?" Ahora asked worriedly.
"Some wargs have been reported, we're going to take care of them" Shí said sliding the sword into it's scabbard. Ahora put her book down and walked over to here girlfriend, gently putting her arms around her.
"Be careful" she said. Shí laughed quietly and kissed her cheek.
"Aren't I always?" she asked before putting her knives in the holders and picking up her bow. "Now I need to sort out my stupid thing...I mean horse" Shí still hated riding. She met up with Dagon and Dallas at the stables and the 2 grinned as Shí complained the whole time as they prepared their horses.
"You really don't like riding do you?" Dagon asked laughing.
"It hurts my thighs" Shí said.
"You complain like a woman Gaalin!" Dallas said thumping her on the back. Shí scowled at him. She was reasonably kind to the horse but still hated the creature, not understanding why all other elves loved them.
"Get ready! We need to be as fast as possible!" Legolas ordered and they all pulled themselves onto their steeds. Shí grumbled under her breath as they rode out.
A/N Sorry it's short but I've got quite bad writers block, I've had to add in a whole new set of story lines (Hint Shí discovery) it's all planned, the ending's planned, the sequels been started but I just can't write this bit now so luckily Liz, my lovely helper is coming over to help me next week.
