Orli: Remind me why she doesn't leave the house on the weekends?

Chapter 7: Training and Such

"Fanya! Fanya! FANYA!" Shouted Lenwë from the distance of the training field. Currently he was trying to get Fanya to pay attention to him and stop daydreaming. "HEY!" he yelled in her ear. "ORQU!!!"

He finally got an answer. "Wha.? Oh, Sorry Mellonamin. I was daydreaming."

"I noticed."

Fifty years had passed, Fanya was now almost 70 years old. She had spent the first three years in Greenwood staying in her father's flet, and then moved into a flet of her own. It was close to a little river with a lovely little pond to swim in and lots of tall, shady trees to read underneath.

Linque had asked her one day about three months ago if she could deliver a message. It wasn't urgent, so she could leave whenever she wanted to. He had then asked her whether she had any experience with a sword. When she had told him no, he had asked Lenwë to teach her. She was already very good.

"Are you ready to spar?" Lenwë asked her, a glint in his eye.

"You bet!" And they started. Their swords clashed against each other, sending metal clashing sounds rocketing through the wood. Lenwë was nearing the age of 1000, and had way more experience than she, but he was a good teacher and Fanya was almost as good as he. They had been working nonstop for the last two-and-a-half months, and practiced for nearly 7 hours a day. It was exhausting, but Fanya's father wanted her to be able to wield a sword, should she meet any trouble along the way.

After almost 10 minutes of clings and bangs, Fanya finally was tiring. She sidestepped him, and hooked her leg around the back of his, tripping him. He hit the ground on his back, knocking the air out of him, and Fanya placed her sword on his neck.

"I win," She was breathing hard, but a smile was upon her face as she helped Lenwë up off the ground.

"Gee that was exhausting. You might be able to take on Legolas if you really wanted to. Her eyes flashed at the mention of his name. After fifty years, Legolas still hadn't learned her name. 'Heh. He'll never know if he even came and begged at my door.' She thought. She still didn't know why he had been so bold, but since he had a lot of princly work to do, he was hardly around to do anything.

For instance, this smelly, greasy, terrible looking guy came to the borders, with this equally smelly, greasy, terrible looking creature on a string. It was a weird thing, and it talked in third person, and exaggerated it's 'S's. It coughed as if it was saying 'Gollum...Gollum" so many elves called it, big surprise, 'Gollum'. Soon 'Gollum' had escaped, along with those big ugly spiders help, and it caused BIG havoc down at the palace. Fanya didn't know what Thranduil was going to do about it, but she did know that she was glad that that creature was gone. She could hear the sreeches of that thing all the way at her flet, and it had been held in a cell deep under the ground. Hell, she felt sorry for the guards down there.

After bidding Lenwë farewell, she walked to her father's flet, wishing that Morion wasn't at her stable, for she was extremely tired. She managed to get to the ladder without collapsing, and climbed the ladder and went into the flet.

"Ada!" she called. "I'm here!"

She saw Linque come out of his bedroom, hiding something behind his back. Fanya didn't notice. "Hello, Fanya. How was training?"

She first sprawled herself on the couch before answering. "Well, I managed to trip Lenwë and win after ten minutes of intense dueling..." she said.

"Sounds like you're pretty good." He said proudly. Fanya finally noticed that he was hiding something.

"Ada, what do you have behind your back...?" Fanya said, curiously.

Linque smiled, and pulled out...

A/N: Well, there's your chapter ^^.

Orli: And she still hasn't let me go. *sulk*

Me: And I'll NEVER let him go! *smirk*

Orli: *groan*

Me: Oh, by the way, I arranged for a kissing booth to be set up somewhere around 4 tomorrow if you keep complaining. I'm sure everyone out there will love if you complain now! *evil grin*

Orli: I'LL BE NICE! I SWEAR!

Me: Oh, well. He's mine! MINE I TELL YOU. I get to kiss him all I want!
