In this story the elves won't leave to the undying lands haha just imagine It okay?

Legolas decided that it would be the best choice to camp for a few hours. They had been travelling for three hours during their travel, they constantly shared stories about their life. And now that it was dark it was the best choice to rest. He did not really need to rest as he possessed elven features. Elves do not rest but mortals do. He was concerned that Audrey had yawned a few times and it gave him a hint that she was tired.

"We are going to camp here. Are you okay with it La- Audrey?"

"Yeah sure," She yawned once more. Legolas pulled the lead rope and gracefully hopped off the horse. Audrey struggled for a moment to dismount the horse as she was still holding her guitar case. Legolas had noticed her struggling. Without asking her permission Legolas took hold of the strange object she was carrying. Audrey quickly dismounted the horse and thanked him.

Legolas placed the guitar case under the tree between two large roots and tied his horse around the trunk. What surprised him that Audrey had collected a few dry branches and she tried to rub two sticks clearly failing at it. Legolas heard she mumbled something about lighter and matches.

"Here let me do it for you" Legolas wrapped his hands around her and rubbed the sticks together.

Audrey blushed furiously for straight fifty seconds. What the fucking hell is this prince doing?! She felt so awkward feeling his chest on her back. Maybe it was a friendly gesture to this bizarre place but all she can do is to hope that he does not see her reddened face. After a moment the sticks created sparks and the fire lightened. Audrey looked at the fire in front of her in disbelief.

"Holy shit! I just created fire! More like we, but that was just freaking awesome!" Audrey jolted up literally knocking the prince from her sudden outburst. The prince just stared at her bewildered. It was very unlikely for girls to use such violent words. After a few minutes full of her showing her disbelief, she finally sat next to him. The moon and stars were blocked by the trees much to her disappointment.

"Are you hungry Audrey?" Before she could answer her stomach growled. Legolas chuckled and offered her lembas bread Arwen made before he left Gondor.

"What's this?" she said as she eyed the bread.

"It's lembas bread. One bite and it will fulfill you hunger"

"Looks edible enough," she shrugged and took a small part before returning it back to him.

The taste was nothing like her favorite sandwiches she always had for breakfast. The bread was plain just like the shape. But she did not protest and devour it.

"Thanks Legolas for letting me join you and for the food," Audrey gave him a smile.

"My pleasure," he gladly returned hers.

Audrey felt peace as she breathed the fresh air. The air in the forest was very clean compared to where she used to be. She loved being here though she deeply missed her parents. She missed her friends, bandmates, her apartment, her bedroom and all things innumerable. Legolas noticed her empty gaze and cannot help but to feel his empathy towards her.

"You verily miss your family do you not?"

"Yes Legolas, I miss them very dearly. Not to mention my friends, my school, my band, the small coffee shop near Macy's, my car, oh and the smell of detergent my mom uses to wash my clothes"

"I also miss my family verily. I have not seen them for a year."

"Where were you for a year?"

"I went for a journey with my other eight companions to destroy a certain ring."

Audrey knew what he meant for her friend had told her the whole story line. Though she never spoken about the characters only the story line.

Audrey glanced at Legolas for a moment and noticed something odd about his ears. His ears are pointed! He's like the character from Star Trek! What was his name? Spoke? Speck? Oh it's Spock!

"ehm Legolas are your ears okay? They're kinda pointed. Wait no, very pointed"

Legolas was grinning at her clueless face. She was very skeptical and he couldn't help but to grin more widely.

"No they are just the way they are. You see in Middle Earth there are creatures called as elves. I'm an elf. There was no significant physical difference between elves and men, the only difference are elves have pointed ears and taller than human. Elves are created by Valar directly so we are known to be Valar's finest creation and we elves are immortal."

"I'm guessing that 'Valar' is the name of your god am I right? In my world men are known for the finest god's creation well based on the Christian teachings"

"Yes Valar is our god. A strange world you're living at Audrey and who is this Christian?"

"Christian is a religion. There are other religions to such as Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Hebrew and some people do not have any religion too."

The thought of having different beliefs made Legolas furrowed his brows. How could people live in such bizarre place? He remembered Audrey explained to him about nations and their capital cities. Such complicated place to live at! Not to mention her 'technologies' and what she carried.

"Speaking of immortality, how old are you?"

"About 3478 take or give a year"

Audrey flabbergasted for straight five seconds. He looks so young for someone who's 3478! Reaching 100 years were very rare from her place yet for their race it's normal to live more than a thousand years. Legolas laughed at her skeptical face and Audrey quickly shut her mouth. She muttered something about looking like twenty one years old.

"Rest Lady Audrey for we have to travel before dawn."

"Yes Granddad," Audrey rolled her eyes.

"How am I your Granddad? I do not recall having a mortal descendant"

"Because you're old. Wait you're even older than Yoda!" Legolas just nodded even though he was not sure what Yoda is.

"Goodnight Legolas," Audrey turned to her side so her back was facing Legolas. She took of her glasses and put it close to her before shutting her eyes.

"Goodnight Audrey," Legolas sighed and looked at the trees above him. Audrey was not the prettiest maiden he had ever seen though Audrey had something that attracted him to know more about her and her world.

Suddenly Audrey said silently but loud enough for Legolas to hear, "Legolas aren't you going to rest?"

Legolas smiled at her innocence, "Nay, we elves do not need rest as much as men do and I'll take watch"

"Lucky elves," She muttered. After a few moments she continued, "thank you."

"My pleasure. "
