Elrond inhaled sharply as he saw his eldest step into the Arena.
"Where did you find her?" He snarled. Thranduil looked over at his friend.
"You know her?" He looked surprised and Elrond nodded.
"She was at the blacksmiths and had entranced my son." Elronds face was cold as he turned back to look at his daughter.
"How do you know her?" Legolas stepped forward and asked. Elrond had to think for a moment.
"No more than a servant in my castle. I never knew her name..." He lied and Legolas knew.
"Your lying..." He said through clenched teeth. Elrond looked up at him.
"Fine then. If I am lying then what is her name?" Elrond knew that Legolas knew her name and waited.
"I..I do not know. I thought it was something like...Rhienna..." He mumbled and sat back down.
"Bring out the orcs!" Thranduil yelled and another gate opened. Two orcs stepped out with nastily looking axes. Ariness took a deep breath and raises her daggers. The orcs came forward and attacked. They were dead before they got close. Ariness twirled her daggers as another two came out. They swiped at her and she turned around. They came behind her and she reached back and stabbed them in the stomach. Then she brought back her blade and slit their throats. Just like the move she tried on Legolas.
He watched as she killed the orcs. Then another Orc came out. Massive. Ariness took a breathe and took a running jump at the Orc. She landed on his shoulders and plunged her dagger into his head. He fell and she slid off of him. Ariness flipped back her hair as she had passed round one. Time for round two. Three orcs came out with swords. They circled the poor elleth and attacked. Ariness was smart and ducked. Each of the orcs sword hit another Orc killing each other. They fell dead. The crown went wild. Thranduil watched this elleth- impressed. She had some moves.
The gate opened again and two big orcs came out. She took a breath and wiped away sweat. Then she twirled around so that she was facing the orcs. They had hammers of stone that they swung at her. She dodged them and struck their legs. One died leaving the other with her. The elleth swirled around and jumped upon the Orc- leaving her dagger in his back. He died and she pulled it off. Time for round three. Ariness panted as the gates opened with five small orcs. Easy. She sprung around slitting their throats and earned a small cut on her shoulder. Round four. Almost done. Three big ones and two small. She killed the small ones easily but the big ones were better. She twisted around them like a fox and gracefully jumped onto ones head. He looked confused and the other uses his hammer to try to kill her- but she back flipped off the Orc just in time. The hammer came down upon the second orcs was killing him.
Then she threw her dagger and killed the last. Round five. Last round and she was so tired. Five giant orcs came out. She gasped. Huge! But she grabbed her daggers and sliced her way through. Two fell as she reached the last three. Hardly any body reached round five. The crowd watched amazed at how good this elleth was. She killed another two leaving the biggest. By the time she reached him she was dizzy because she had earned a gash across her legs. She stumble as she walked forward. The Orc laughed and Legolas's grip on his sword tightened. She threw her daggers at the Orc and missed. He swung his axe and it hit her. She collapsed and got up slowly. Her anger flashed and her hands flexed. Sparks ignited and the crowd murmured. She threw her hands at the Orc and sparks flew.
He got electrocuted. He died and she collapsed. Thranduil stood up. "What is this? Sorcery!" He commands guards to fetch her. They pull her away to the halls of healing. Thranduil dismissed the crowd and runs down to the halls with Legolas and Elrond on his tail.
"How did she do this?" He commanded for the nurses to tell him.
"She was born with it we believe M'lord" they back up so he can examine her.
"She looks like your wife Elrond.. Possibly a bastard. Did your wife every have a before lover that may have had a child?" He turned to Elrond who was shocked. He shakes his head. Thranduil turned back to Ariness.
"Watch her...I want all eyes on her so she can't do that again..." He left and Elrond did two. But Elrond headed straight home. Ariness stirred and woke up in the halls. Legolas was sitting next to her with a stone cold face.
"How did you do that?" He said emotionless. Ariness didn't respond.
"Ariness tell me..." She snapped up when he called her name.
"I was born with it. I can't help it!" She looked out the window. Legolas didn't say anything.
"I'm Legolas..." He said softly.
