Review Responses: Thank you Elves are Awesome for the grammar correction, I will keep that in mind. Yes, it was a great trap to everyone who said so. As for something happening to Legolas, I am open to ideas. ;) Thank you all for reading and reviewing to by the way.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Lord of the Rings.

Sorry, also, about the random updating, but I've been lazy as it is my summer vacation. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

"Legolas? What happened to you? I've been looking for you." Thranduil took in his son's disheveled hair and torn clothing. He didn't miss the bruises that were forming.

"Don't go into the forests, Father. They are dangerous."

"Does this have anything to do with that elf woman I saw walk past not an hour ago."

"No, Father, it does not." Legolas walked past his father into his room and grabbed a fresh shirt. He changed and began combing his fingers through his long hair. "You said you've been looking for me."

"Yes. I was unable to gain access to Elrond's private library. Apparently the wisest of elves forgot to tell his sons how to get into the library."

"What if he didn't forget?" Legolas looked at his father. "What if he did tell someone?"

"Are you saying we are asking the wrong people? That Elrond's sons do not know how to get into a place in their own home?"

"That is exactly what I am saying."

"But who would he tell."

"Only someone he trusted with his life and with his secrets."

"That could be anyone."

"I know." The two elves grinned.

"What if we just give them false information? Tell them that there is a way in through some other part of Mordor and they can get in through there. The farther east we put it, the longer it'll take them to finger out that we've tricked them."

"Where is this coming from, Naur?"

"The selfish prince wants to win Feywen from Glorfindel. The best way he can do that is to save her before Glorfindel has a chance to do so. Well, that's what he thinks will work anyway."

"And what put this idea in your head?" Glorfindel listened to Kemen and Naur with little interest. The thought to trick the Mirkwood elves had crossed his mind. But he knew that it would come to no good. If he tricked them, they would very likely not help when the time came to confront Morgoth's army. He knew that they needed all they could get. He also knew that if there were any other routes, Kemen would know and she was sure that there were only two ways into Mordor short of scaling the wall surrounding that land. He doubted even Elrond's private library held the answers they wanted. He sighed and looked at the weapons on the mantle.

His first day back in Rivendell, he had come to their house and hung her weapons. She had hoped to never have to use them again after they had reached Valinor. Now she was without them when she needed them the most. It wasn't the best of situations they had been in. He wanted his wife back again. He needed her back. There was nothing for it.

"So here I find you." He looked up suddenly at the use of Common Speech and saw Gandalf in the doorway.

"What do you want, Gandalf?"

"I thought I knew the prince of Mirkwood well enough. I never expected him to come after you and Feywen like this."

"This is not your fault, Gandalf. This is no one's fault. Legolas believes that he can win Feywen from me by saving her. He does not realize that Feywen wants nothing to do with him. I think I saw a look of relief when that Dark Elf took his ring from her. She never wanted it in the first place. She wanted me and I failed her."

"She could have stayed in Gondor until you arrived."

"Don't blame this on her." Glorfindel growled.

"Well, it is the truth. If she had waited in Gondor until you arrived, she wouldn't have been able to be forced into the marriage to Legolas. Thranduil would never have had the chance to threaten her because you would have been there. But you weren't and she was forced into the marriage. Ergo, she should have waited for you to join her in Gondor before moving to save the Dwarves and the Elves of Mirkwood."

"If she had waited, she would have been too late to save the Dwarves from the force Morgoth sent to destroy them."

"But why did he go after them first? What was the point besides them being the last ones to be shielded?"

"Glorfindel, think about this like the army general you are. Imagine, for a moment, that you are Morgoth and you are holed up in your lands waiting for your minions to bring your salvation, Lady Celebrant, to you. Now, your main enemy is the Elves. They are the only ones strong enough to destroy your forces. But you have been growing your ranks while Lady Celebrant has been trying to save the people of Middle Earth. You know that the Elves, now that your strength and numbers are greater than the Three Kingdoms combined, will need help. The closest ones to you are the Dwarves of whom one was the member of an ancient fellowship. They are the only ones left unshielded by Lady Celebrant who has been working hard on protecting the people."

"And if Feywen had not left to shield them with Legolas, they would have been defeated and unable to help us if called."

"Precisely. Now, he is looking for a way to get around those shields. His power his locked, for the most part, until he is freed through marriage to a full-blooded Elf."

"Feywen." Gandalf nodded. Glorfindel looked back to her weapons. "But why her? He could have forced any Elf into marriage to him. Why take Feywen? Surely he has no idea that she is the only one who can destroy him forever."

"I am not positive that he doesn't know that fact. But you need to remember who it was that challenged him when he first walked Middle Earth."

"Celebrant. Celebrant and his family, save Threndon, were killed by the battle, even though Feywen's aunt did not die until much later in her life. Celebrant sealed Morgoth beneath Mount Doom. Morgoth wants revenge against the Elf that sealed him away like a beast."

"And he gains that revenge by forcing Celebrant's only daughter into marriage to him, freeing him from the bonds placed on him by the Valar." They said nothing.

"Feywen is a half-elf, which is why we have been given the time we have. Morgoth has to find a way to strip Feywen's blood of everything that makes her an Elandili. If anyone were to blame for this, it is Morgoth. Morgoth is to blame for the destruction of our peace."

She walked down the hall, reading the book Feywen had recommended to her long ago. It was Bilbo's story. Samwise Gamgee, or Sam as Feywen had always called him, had given it to the brothers on a trip to Gondor. It had remained in the library ever since. Feywen had read it herself, also reading what Frodo had written. Frodo's words were the truth of what happened on that journey. He told of Feywen and her following them and the revelation of her as King Elessar's sister. It was the truth of the War of the Ring written by the Hobbits of the Shire. The last pages had been filled by Sam who had written about the on-goings of the Shire and his own travels and other little stories, mainly about his family and those of Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took.

She was busy reading the chapter of when Bilbo had found the Ring and was getting to the part where the young Hobbit had engaged in a game of riddles with Gollum when she was suddenly lying on her back, the book open on her chest. She looked to see who she had bumped into and blushed. It was Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood. She stood up quickly and bowed at the waist to hide her red cheeks. "Prince Legolas." She murmured. He picked up the book from the floor and opened the front cover.

"There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins and The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins. Interesting. I do believe that I am mentioned in at least one of these works." She snatched the book back from him and tucked it under her arm.

"I wouldn't know, Highness. I have only read part of Mr. Baggins's tale. I will let you know if your name comes up in it. But I am sure that it is in Frodo's writings as you are a member of the Fellowship." She turned her back and walked back the way she had come. She heard Legolas chase after her.

"Carolani, wait." He grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him. "Look, I'm sorry. I know that was rude. I should have made sure you were okay first."

"Since when do you care an ounce about me? Last time I saw you, you were concerned about the embarrassment you would endure if you were found tied by your ankles in the trees like prey." He let her go and scowled. She continued walking. He fell in step beside her.

"I've been thinking."

"Oh? Do tell." She didn't bother to hide the venom in her voice.

"I've never stopped caring about you."

"Ha!"

"Carolani, please. Just listen to me."

She turned sharply to face him. "Why should I listen to anything you say?" She yelled. "Everything you have ever said to me has always been a lie! Every word you whispered in my ear when we were alone was a lie! And now you say you care about me! Ha! You've never cared about anyone but yourself! I've blamed myself for what happened between us, but I was wrong. You are the one to blame. And don't think I don't know the game you are playing. I do not have the information you want. I do now know how to get in totheir private halls and I do not know where the information you want is hidden. You and your father might as well go back to Mirkwood. Better yet," she hissed, "march upon the Black Gate if you want to rescue her so bad. But believe me when I tell you that, even though you saved her, she will never love you like you want her to." Carolani turned on her heel again and marched down the hall to her rooms, her back straight. Legolas stood in the hall, dumbfounded yet again.

I know it was a filler, but I wanted to do a little more of Rivendell. I promise we get back to Feywen in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and please review.
