A/N: Because I'm special (ed…maybe) I am doing my replies to reviews up here today. And because my birthday is in exactly one week. And some odd hours, cos I was born in the states and England is five hours ahead of the east coast. I'm also special because I got a good grade on the "hablar" part of my Spanish work today! Yay me! Hablar is the talking part we hafta do. Anyway, on with the replies to my lovely friends out there…

Lulu-belle: Wow. That was the longest review I've ever gotten in my entire life! amazink. Actually, Legolas is being a smelly poopy butt head (so mature, aren't I?), so you can "keep" him for a while longer. Yes, Nora likes this idea very much. I will check out ur joint story soon. Me and my little sister are writing one together as well. Keeping in mind, of course, she's only 8 years old. So her chapters are very short. But I promised her when we wrote enough, I'd post it. So I hope people review it, or she'll kill me. Again. For the third time. Lolz.

Piratica: Shuddup. (lolz) Nora gets whatever color DRESS I think she deserves. Remember, she's not from nowadays, so she would wear a dress. So there sticks out tongue

Okay, on wif the story, then!

Chapter Four: The Citadel

"…and he was covered in feathers, and his hair was died pink! It was hilarious! But I was just a little girl then." Nora said as they walked past the guards for the seventh ring of the city.

"Legolas lives here, then?" Kendall asked, looking at the Elf. But he did not say anything. In fact, he had been quiet the entire journey back to the citadel.

"Of course Legolas doesn't live here." Nora laughed. "He has his own kingdom to attend to. He is just a very frequent visitor to Gondor, since him and King Ellessar-Eldarion's father- were best of friends."

"Oh." Kendall said quietly. She remembered now. Ellessar was Aragorn. She hadn't been a big fan of Middle earth, but she was a fan none the less. But she had enjoyed the movies more then the books, so she only read the trilogy once. And, as we all know, there is so much stuff that P.J. left out of the movies.

"Ah, we're here." Legolas said, speaking for the first time in fifteen minutes. The guards, upon seeing Nora and the Prince, quickly opened the front doors to the Citadel, and let them in.

"Whoa…" was the only word Kendall could find in her vocabulary that described how amazing the Main Hall of the Citadel actually was. It was dimly lit by candles and torches along the walls, so everything was lit up in a dull orange-ish glow, with shadows dancing all around. There were statues of Kings of old between pillars that lined the room. In front of the trio was two thrones. One raised up a little on a platform, and the other one higher, raised up by some stairs. These were empty. There was also a chair next to the platform, but this was occupied by a woman.

But she was too beautiful to be a woman, or, at least, in Kendall's mind she was.

Nora grinned when she saw Kendall's awe. "That is the Queen Arwen. She is an Elven maiden." she whispered.

Kendall nodded, still in awe at her new surroundings.

Legolas smiled at this and gently took Kendall's hand and led her up to the queen.

"Arwen?" Legolas said softly.

The maiden jerked slightly, as though she had been sleeping, and looked up at the Elf, Kendall, and Nora. "Ai, Legolas. Did I doze off again?"

Legolas nodded. "You did, but it is quite alright."

Arwen smiled and nodded at Nora. "Mae Govennan, Nora."

"Mae Govennan, Queen Arwen." the girl said with a smile. "Legolas and I bring a friend to stay with us at the Citadel, m'lady. Her name is Kendall."

The Elf looked at Kendall and smiled, though it seemed to be a very tired gesture. "Hello, Kendall. Welcome to Minas Tirith. I am sorry that my son is not here to greet you like a proper King would, but he is in a meeting right now with his father's former heads of departments…well, they're his heads of departments now, I suppose…"

"It's quite alright, Your Highness." Kendall said with a bow. "I am very pleased to have met you."

"Yes, well, you seem very tired, and very cold, if I might say so myself." the queen said thoughtfully. "So I shall allow Legolas and Nora to tend to you. I'm afraid I have to go and find my son or one of my daughters… You two will be alright, won't you?"

Legolas nodded. "Of course, Arwen. You go and talk to your children."

"Aye, I will." Arwen said as Legolas once more took Kendall by the hand to lead her towards the rooms with Nora. They were just about to turn down the corridor when the Elven queen called again.

"Legolas?"

"Yes, Arwen?" he replied, a smile on his lips. But as he heard what she had to say, his smile faded away to a frown.

"When you're done, please come back here. I have something very important to talk to you about." the queen said. And as if she knew what Nora was thinking, she added. "And only you, mellon-nin."

A/N: uh oh, wots arwen on about…anyone who's read the appendicies or listened to me ramble knows it involves a hill and arwen being on it. So RR folks! And anyone who can guess wins a free mini legolas shaped I pod that I don't have!
