Ariness wandered the town looking for her pendant. She went back to the place where her cloak had caught and saw a note. -I have what your looking for. Meet me in the forest borders today at noon- Ariness growls and crumples the note. Later That day she went down to the forest borders and waited. The princeling looked down at her and laughed. She looked up startled.
"Give it back...now..." She growled and he tossed it down to her. She quickly grasped it on her neck.
"What do you want?" She asks cautiously.
"Your name... " he asks slowly. "I want to know who you are..." He jumps down from the tree and lands gracefully. Ariness bites her lip and doesn't know what to do.
"I'm not going to say..."
"Why not?" The prince asked the young elleth.
"Like I said before my Ada doesn't want me to tell. I am supposed to be locked in my room in Rivend-" her eyes widen as she reveals where she lived.
"I have to go..." She hurried across the forest and pressed a brick outside of the castle. A door appeared and she rushed in. Little did she know that the prince had now learned of this secret path. As Ariness reached her room the curse inside both of them grew stronger. their hate grew worse.
Elronds eyes grew dark and a mark appeared on his wrist.
One day her father grew so mad at her he did something unbelievable.
"You need to control your powers. So I'm locking you in your room until you do learn how to control it." Ariness gasped. "No...Adar! Please... I love going out into the town!" She started to cry and rain outside started falling hard. Elrond felt scared but he didn't show it.
"Control it!" He slapped her hard leaving a red mark. She gasped and he shut the door. Ariness shook a bit as she hyperventilated. She ran to her bed where she collapsed and slept till morning.
Five years past since he locked her in her room. She grew weak from not using her powers. As an elf she knew bits of magic and but she learned how to heal, sing, draw and she also taught herself how to fight. Using the magic she expanded her room to a secret training room where she had daggers. Every day for two hours she would practice against dummies and targets. Ariness got really good...almost as good as a certain prince.
The Prince was now 251 and very good with his twin blades. Every day he practiced for an hour or two with the captain of the guards who was starting to fall for him. He returned nothing. The only thing he could think about was that certain elleth who was strange and mysterious. He had a scrap of fabric from her cape that he had found next to her necklace. Every night he would look at it before going to bed. Tauriel grew jealous and stole it.
"My Lord, Legolas keeps looking at this piece of fabric from some elleths cape. I thought you might want to see it..." She handed it to the Elven King and he fingered it.
"This is Silk and Velvet from the mountains. High quality meaning none peasant." He looks at Tauriel.
"Yet I do not know this elleth meaning I worry. Tauriel take measure of caution. If you see him with a elleth that looks royal, alert me immediately. You are dismissed. " Tauriel bowed and walked out, a smirk painted across her face. Legolas decided to go to town. He needed a new blade for fighting.
Ariness left through her secret passage and went into town. She didnt want to go back. Her father would just beat her up again. So she pulled her hooded cape over her goldish brown hair . When she walked into town the first thing she did was knock at the blacksmiths house. The door opened.
"May I stay here?" She asked hopefully.
"I will pay for bed and food and work too..." She smiled as he allowed her in.
