Loving a Prince

Gandalf, Why are you Here?

It was a beautiful day out.

'Perfect day to hunt some orcs' I thought.

I got out of my bed in my tiny little house and ate a slice of bread.

I then grabbed my bow, sword, and cloak.

When I reached for my cloak I hesitated. They came back to me again.

The memories.

~flashback~

I was sleeping peacefully when I heard screams and smelt smoke.

I jumped out of bed and ran to my parents bedroom to find them already awake.

"What is father," I asked frightened.

"Orcs," my father said.

"We need to show her Beorn," my mother said. My father nodded and took a key from a box in their room.

"Show me what?" I asked them.

My father ignored me and walked to a chest in their room that I never paid attention to. He unlocked it and revealed a cloak, sword, and bow and arrows.

These were the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The cloak was light blue with black swirls and dark blue sapphires. The sword had swirls on the blade and a leather grip. The bow was silver and had gold swirls and dark blue sapphires forged into it. The arrows were a light brown with light blue feathers. The quiver was a light brown and had silver swirls and dark sapphires placed in the leather.

They were beautiful items, but the screams turned us back to reality.

"Listen to us Serena, we know that they are to big for you, but you need to come back to get these when this is all done, ok," he spoke with urgency in his voice.

"I will," I promised.

"Serena, your father made these for you because he wants you to become a great warrior some day," my mother said.

"I'm going to hide it here, ok," he said putting the key under the rug.

"Ok," I said.

Just then the sound of a door being kicked in made me jump. My father growled and walked toward the staircase.

He turned around and said, "Use the back door," and with that he changed into his bear form and rushed down the staircase.

"Hurry," my mother said.

We ran down stairs to see my father giving us time to run away as he attacked the orcs.

My mother and I ran out the back door and into the woods.

"Go to Rivendell, they will help you," she said.

She turned around and was about to run back when I said, "No, come with me!" I pleaded.

"I have to help your father, GO!" She screamed.

I ran and ran, and I could still hear the screaming. One high pitched scream made me freeze.

My mother's.

I started to run as fast as
I could, tears streaming down my face.

I must have gotten a mile, when I saw I light, Rivendell.

I pumped my legs harder and screamed, "Help, somebody help!"

A man with grey robes met me at the entrance.

"What is the matter, little one?"
He said.

"My parents! My village! It's under attack by orcs!" I screamed and sobbed, "Please help me!"

In a matter of minutes we had an elven army marching with the person in grey robes, I think the king, and me.

When we got there the man with grey robes pulled me to the edge of the forest and watched the fight.

I buried my face into his robes and wished it was all over.

When the sounds of the fight faded away I looked up and saw a pale Orc astride a white warg retreat with some people in chains.

I knew that he was the one leading this and wanted to crush him, but knew I was too weak.

I ran into my charred house and found the body of my mother on the ground outside the back door. I ran to her and sunk to my knees. I could feel the presence of the man behind me, but I didn't care.

I sobbed and sobbed until I remembered my promise.

"Find peace my dear mother," I prayed then ran upstairs to my mother and fathers room.

The man followed me and watched me as I found the key to the chest and opened it.

The chest wasn't damaged,
So I think it was enchanted.

I made a vow that day to find any Orc alive and kill them because no one should never suffer like she did.

The man helped me carry down my stuff and back to Rivendell.

~end of flashback~

That was when I was 7. Now I'm 21.

I grabbed my cloak and put it on with the hood up. I ran outside to find some orcs to kill.

~Gandalf's POV~

"Why can't I find it," I said frustrated.

I was trying to find Serena's house and all the sudden I was interrupted.

"Who goes there," a voice said behind me.

I put my hands in the air where the person to see and the voices owner walks in front of me.

The figure had a familiar cloak on and a loaded bow pointed at my face.

"Hello Serena,"

"Gandalf? Long time no see," she said lowering her bow and I lowered my hands. She took her hood off revealing her head of Raven hair with a blue streak in it. she had an amazing pair of blue eyes.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm looking for someone to share an adventure with," I said.

"When have I ever declined an offer like that?" She said with a sly smile.
