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).

This contains FemSLASH ok?

Hidden Identity

Chapter 27, M-M-Marriage?

Mirkwood

She was rudely woken by a scream, then arms being flung around her battered body. She moaned in pain and the arms let go immediatly.

"Oh I'm so sorry Shí," Shí opened her eyes to find her gaze locked with a worried, a very worried Ahora's. Ahora perched on the edge of Shí's bed and took the bandaged hand in her own dainty ones. "I was so worried Shí."

"I'm sorry Ahora, I tried to stay safe but..."

"Shhh, I know." Ahora put a gentle finger on Shí's lips. Shí smiled at her.

"How did you get here?" Shí asked.

"It's more of a case of you coming to me, your in the healing halls of the palace and recovering slowly," Ahora smiled at her.

"Oh, right," Shí said quietly. "Does everyone know about my sexuality yet?" she asked quietly.

"No, the King's making you give a speech like Leila," Ahora said.

"Fantabidosee," Shí muttered. "Well as it sounds like decapitation at dawn is on the way, how about giving me a kiss?"

"You don't need to be near death for me to kiss you and you know it!" Ahora laughed. Shí chuckled.

"I know, but I thought it was a good excuse..." Shí said quietly.

"Oh come here," Ahora leaned in for a kiss, a kiss that led onwards to much more...

Rivendell

Leila had finally been allowed to get out of bed as long as she didn't over exert herself...so of course she was now doing her fighting excercises.

"I don't think that is what is meant by taking it easy," Elrohir commented as he walked up, Tinwé in one arm and Sindadil in the other. Leila smiled and lowered her knives. She put them in their sheathes and took Sindadil from Elrohir's arm, kissing her son's forehead. "Oh, a messenger came with a letter for you," Elrohir reached into the pocket of his robes and drew out a piece of parchment.

"Thank you," Leila kissed his cheek and sat under a tree, Sindadil nestled into her shoulder. She began to read as Elrohir sat next to her, playing with Tinwé.

Hey Leila,

Well, I knew this day would come but I was still hoping it wouldn't...I was wounded in battle and certain things were discovered. Now I've got to give a stupid speech like you had too so if they reject me I may be joining you in Rivendell. How are you by the way? And Tinwé? Write back soon. Oh and incase you were wondering Legolas turned down an offer of marriage to this high class lady who was very pretty...ow! Ahora just hit me! Gotta go and convince her that I think she's prettier.

Love Shí.

Leila laughed and put the letter on the ground next to her. She then started to play with baby Sindadil, causing him to make gurgle-ish sounds of enjoyment.

"Who was the letter from?" Elrohir asked.

"Shí, she's been discovered," Leila said, kissing Sindadil's forehead lovingly. So for that afternoon, one of many to follow the two just sat in the gradens under a tree, cuddled and played with Leila's sons.

Brief summary of 700 years,

- Shí gave her speech and was still allowed to be a warrior and is planmning to set up an all female section.

- Leila and Elrohir are 'together' and have raised Tinwé (changed name spelling because no longer have Word so can't do the dotty ones) and Sindadil as their own, only a few people look down upon them.

- Legolas refused to marry three upper classed ladies as he still loves Leila. That's the main things...oh and Shí and Ahora have 'outed'.

Elrond watched as his son played with Tinwé in the courtyard, using wooden swords instead of real ones. Elrohir was the 'evil balrog' and Tinwé was the mighty Glorfindel...who sat on a bench watching also.

"Elrohir's good with the children," Glorfindel commented. He laughed as Tinwé defeated Elrohir and was soon being a piggy back by Elrohir. "Do you think they will amrry?"

"It would be nice if they would, I've often wanted Grandchildren and while Leila's children are practically my grandchildren they are not," Elrond said.

"You will have grandchildren Elrond, I'm sure you will."

2 Days Later

"You have got to be kidding me," Leila groaned as Elrond faced her in his study. Elrond was infact glaring at her. "Wonderful, fan-fucking-tastic."

"Leila, you must be the only elven lady I have ever met to have already 2 children out of wedlock and not believe me when I tell you that you are pregnant again," Elrond scowled at her. "But now, to the more important matter. Is it Elrohir's?"

"Of course it's Elrohir's whose else would it be?" Leila asked him angrily.

"Well then, I must insist you get married," Elrond said calmly. Leila blinked at him, her mouth hanging open slightly.

"M-M-Married? Oh, Oh!" Leila, battle hardened warrier and mother to two boys was so frightened by the prospect of marriage that she fainted into the Lord of Rivendell's arms.

A/N I am so sorry this took so long but i had terrible writers block and my partner for this story Liz isn't writing it any more so it's just me and it's rather hard. Next Chapter: A Wedding, A Proposal and An Acceptance...but to who? (that's not the title, thats the basic summary).
