Celebrimbor's Daughter and Thranduil's Son (The Daughter Series) Book 1

Celebrimbor

"Vilya, you have grown up." I watched as the black haired elf with blue eyes walked towards me.
"How can it be?"
"This was were I could hide, Vilya, from Sauron. He lied to you and to me. But my time of hiding is over. I will aid Aragorn and Gondor." Legolas was watching me. Then I hugged my true father. He smiled and gently touched my hand. He showed me that he too had the black eye inked onto his hand. Then he touched the bracelet.
"Sauroman gave you my gift." I smiled and he showed me his. Then I gasped. Skulls of the dead were rolling out of the roof. Father shouted
"Get out!" We ran out over the door. Then I watched as Aragorn dropped to his knees. The ships of Mordor were sailing past, heading for Gondor. Legolas walked over to Aragorn. I turned to see the King of the Dead floated up to us.
"We fight!"

"Get off your ships!" Aragorn shouted. The Pirates laughed and replied
"Stand back before we shot you." Gimli hissed
"Shot a warning shot to him." Legolas fitted an arrow to the string and pulled it back. A bow appeared in my father's hand and an arrow. He pulled it. I watched as Gimli tapped Legolas's bow and the arrow hit the pirate. Legolas looked at Gimli and he covered his mouth and said
"Oops. Let that be a warning. Prepare to be boarded!" Father let go of his arrow and no sooner had he, another appeared.

We soon were on the ships with the dead. Legolas and I sat up the front of the ships.
"Your father is very...."
"Very interesting?" Legolas nodded and I smiled. Legolas gently took my hand.
"Vilya, I don't know how to say this, but my heart is yours." I looked him. That is like saying I love you. I leaned against his shoulder and replied
"My heart is yours." Legolas kissed my hair.

The five of us jumped off the ships facing over 1000 orcs. Aragorn drew out his sword and said
"For Gondor." At that moment, he looked like a king. My sword appeared in my hand and Father had his bow ready.
"There are plenty for all over us." Gimli said. Father looked at me,
"Who ever kills the most wins." Father just shook his head.
Then the orcs raced towards us.

With my father and Legolas by my side, we were making great progress. We had reached the main battle at the front of the gates of the White City. I gasped in horror. The gates were beaten down and men lay dead in the streets. Aragorn turned to the dead people and they raced through the city. Nothing could kill them.

Then I watched as Legolas was riding on top of a oliphant. He was amazing to watch, his flowing movements and keen eyes. He brought the beast down with two arrows. He slid down the trunk of the oliphant and shook his head. Gimli snorted and said
"That still only counts as one!" I smiled and stabbed another Orc in the back. Show no mercy, show no mercy, I continued to remind myself.

The battle as over, thanks to the King of the Dead and his people. Aragorn let them go and them vanished into the wind. Then I heard a cry that I hope I will never hear again. Eormer screaming as he found the body of his sister, half dead. Aragorn quickly walked over to her and told Eormer to take her to the houses of healing. I found Pippin hugging Merry, who also looked half dead. I gently touched Pippin's shoulder.
"Pippin, we need to get Merry to the houses of healing." He nodded and together we helped Merry to the houses.

I made sure Merry had a bed and then took Pippin to find my father. I found him, talking to Aragorn and Gandalf.
"Father!" I cried. He turned around and we hugged. Pippin looked at my father and asked
"I thought he was dead." I smiled and replied
"Not all as it seems." Pippin smiled and picked up some bread. My stomach growled and Father laughed.
"Eat up Vilya." I picked up some bread and started to eat. Then I asked
"Father, my real name is not Vilya, is it?" He looked at me and replied
"Vilya, that is your real name." I turned to Aragorn
"Who did you know?" Aragorn laughed and said
"You talked in your sleep, Vil." I grinned.
Then Legolas walked in. And by the look on his face, I knew something was wrong.
"Vilya, we need to talk."
