Love Can Fight Any Battle (Legolas/Hermione Love Story

Chapter 2: Talking

The next few weeks she spent some much needed time riding with her sister and training with her brothers. Autheil was greatly skilled with a bow and arrow and daggers and with a sword. She was a little rusty when she first stepped into the training fields but then it all came back to her very soon. She even continued to practice her magic that she had learned while at Hogwarts.

Authiel's appearance changed somewhat since here return to Middle-Earth. The Glamor charm she had cast had finally wore off. Her ears now had become pointed, her hair turned from a frizzy brown to silky dark brown hair, her skin was now pale white and her eyes were a hazel brown. This was her beauty in the natural and she loved it.

Autheil went to see her father one day wondering what was going on in the different kingdoms but also so she can ask if he could get rid of the ugly scars on her arm from her torture in the other realm.

"Ada?" she asked as she searched his study.

"There you are Autheil. I've been looking for you." Elrond said as he walked over to his daughter. She decided to let him go first.

"Much has happened since the last time you were here." he said as he lead her to the window. "I know you are curious to know just what has happened." Authiel nodded her head. "There has been great movement of evil in the West. Gandalf has gone to see Saruman for aid. He found out that the Ring of Power has been found." Autheil furrowed her brow. "It's been in the Shire all this time. Bilbo found it on his journey with the Dwarfs many years ago. It's what's allowed him to live this long." Bilbo had arrive just last week and had been spending time writing his book quietly.

"The Ring passed to his nephew. Gandalf has sent Aragon to retrieve them and bring him to us. Until Gandalf's return we are to keep him safe." Elrond explained. "Gandalf's still here?" she asked. "He is. Why?" she shook her head "It's just that he died last year in the other realm. I didn't know if he was able to come back to our time our not." "He did quiet successfully." Elrond explained.

"So what do we do now?" Autheil asked. "tomorrow I will send out letters to notify the leaders of middle earth of the news we have learned and form a meeting here. Until then we will await the arrival of Gandalf and the Ring." he said. Autheil nodded in understanding.

"How has your gift of foresight been bearing?" Elrond asked his daughter.

"I still have those feelings and clips of visions rarely but nothing more. I didn't have time to practice it in the other world because of what was going on but the feelings and sense of urgency grew when bad things were about to happen." she explained. She was the only one of the four children of Elrond who had inherited his gift of foresight.

"You must practice it does take time but you lust practice. We don't know what's coming in the future but I know it will affect us all. We must be ready." he said. "Yes Ada."

They stood there silent for a moment just looking out at there kingdom.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Elrond asked.

Autheil looked at him confused.

"The torture, the scars." he clarified.

Autheil looked down at her arms that we covered by the loose sleeves of her silver dress.

"You saw Ada. I was tortured not just because of what they thought I was but because of the information I bared. The pain was horrible. I didn't know what was going to happen. For a moment I thought I might not come home but even then I couldn't let myself give up any information. I couldn't bear it if I did." she explained with a heavy heart.

Elrond turned to his daughter and cupped her face. "You were so brave throughout the whole thing I am so proud of you and I'm sorry it happened to you." he said.

" I can make them disappear but it will take quiet a long time because of the magic that was used on them."

Autheil nodded. Elrond grabbed her arms and lifted sleeves to examine then before placing one arm on each hand and muttering a elven healing spell.
After a minute, Elrond removed his hands "They will fade in time." he said. Autheil nodded smiling at her father. She kissed him on the check "Thank you Ada." she said before she left to go riding with Arwen.
