The Lost Princess: [Legolas Fanfiction]

Prologue

"There you are." I grabbed an arrow out of my quiver and pulled my bowstring back. Elk. I was hunting elk. I finally found the elks I was hunting for an hour or so.

"Just breathe." I slowly inhaled, focusing in my target. I let out a slow exhale and released my bow string.

I stared at my arrow as it pierced through the elks body, it let out a scream which caused the other elks to run off. I ran over to the elk, who was screaming in agonizing pain, shot an arrow into its brain to put it out of its misery. I lifted the elks body and carried it into a clearing. I quickly started a fire and skinned the elk. When I finished eating the elk I saved its bones to use for traps, and I saved its skin, because I may need it in the future. I climbed into a tree and looked at the scenery. It had me thinking why am I here? What is my purpose? When I was finished thinking I grabbed about 5 apples.

"Arthion?" I looked around the clearing for him and found him eating grass on a hill top. It was pretty hard to find him, since he is as dark as the night, and it is was dusk outside.

I slowly walked up to him being very careful of not to startle him. I slowly petted his mane and kissed his nose. "Why did you run off, Arthion?" Arthion was a wild horse that I found wondering in the woods. I named him after my father, Arthion because he was as mighty as my father, and he made me feel safe whenever I was in his presence.

"I have apples." I fed him two apples and led him to a stream. As he drank the water I slowly started patting his back. "Drink up boy, we have a long journey ahead of us." I carefully climbed onto his back and grabbed his mane so I wouldn't fall. "Come on, let's go."

I bet you are wondering who I am. I honestly don't know who I am either, I am still trying find myself. I am Anira Eldar, the lost princess. I was the princess of Deepingdale, the daughter of Arthion and Melda Eldar. Until one unfaithful day, when Orcs attacked our kingdom. That one day is a memory that shall haunt my mind until the day I depart Middle-Earth. I did remember the Orcs were looking for something, or someone and I think that person was me. Because my mother and father sent me far away from the kingdom. But I don't know why the Orcs wanted me, I was only a child.

I still have memories of my mother and father as well. I looked like my mother, except for my silver hair, I was the only one in the kingdom with silver hair. My eyes are a violet color, people always tell me that my eyes can look straight into your soul. I have pale skin, but I have been told that my pale skin highlights my features. I've been desired by many suitors of men and elves. I am good friends with Gandalf the Grey he is like a father to me, I am also good friends with Bilbo Baggins he is like an uncle to me, Lord Elrond he is like a father to me as well, Arwen she is like the sister I never had and Aragorn he is also like an uncle to me. They are all the family I have, yes I have met other people but they all have a special place in my heart. I remember meeting each one of them on one of my travels.

I have been told that it is my destiny to regain what was once stolen from me. My home. My home was destroyed, so it is my destiny to restore my home and become the queen. But I can not. I do not want to become a heartless queen. I can not make life or death decisions for an entire kingdom. I can not govern an entire race. I can not handle the responsibility. I can not rule.
