I was amazed by the beauty of Mirkwood. As we walked through the gate, the white elk left for the woods. "He's going to be okay," said Thranduil as he noticed my worried look. I nodded but my worry stayed. Something was wrong in the forest and I wouldn't want something to happen with a magnificent animal like the elk was. Thranduil led me to the throne room. On our way every single elf bowed to us. "Everybody knows, who you are to be," the King said. It felt weird, knowing that I was superior than others. I liked the low life, nobody would acknowledge me and I was fine with that. I have lived my whole life as an outcast and for it to change so fast, it just didn't feel right. Why would he take somebody like me to be his wife? He hated dwarves. Was it for revenge? To rub it against other dwarves noses. I really hoped not, because I would not accept it, even not from a King

I was surprised on how big the throne was. "You like it?" Thranduil whispered behind me. "It's okay," I said, while trying to look like it didn't matter to me. But it did. He really was powerful. I could imagine him sitting on his throne, giving orders and slowly killing all his enemies. I would never want to be an enemy to an elf like him. "Do you want to sit on it?" he asked. I was shocked and didn't know what to say. "Sit on it? But it is your throne?" Thranduil smirked and said "Well, you are to be the queen." He then led me to the throne. Everything seemed so small from up here. I wondered what I would look like if Thranduil would be sitting on his throne and I would be in front of him. I guess I would be a mere bug.

An elf, similar to Thranduil walked to us. I stood up from the throne and Thranduil pulled me next to him. "Ada, are the rumors really true? Are you really taking a new wife?" The Elven-King smiled and said "Yes, meet Rafina." He nodded at me and then said "Rafina, this is my son, Legolas." I smiled and greeted him. It felt odd, because I knew that Legolas was older than me. "Congratulations, to the both of you," Legolas said. His face showed that he wasn't pleased about it. Thranduil then asked the guards to come and told them to escort me to my room. "We have business to talk about," he said. I was a little offended. I knew I was not a queen yet but I had thought he would consider me in to his kingdom business, maybe it was just too soon.

My room was far from my old one. It had big king-size bed with silk sheets. I had a balcony with a view to a garden. It had different trees and plants in it, which most I had not yet seen. As I sat down to my bed, I realized that I actually had liked my old life more. Maybe I just needed time to get used to it but it just didn't feel like it should. Well, you shouldn't marry a guy you don't love but that turned out different. Life is full of twists.

Sorry for the short chapter, I promise the next one will be longer. :)/p
