She was the age of 32 in human years when the orcs invaded. It was the middle of the night, they came out of nowhere, killing all in their path. Their men got ready, they won but lost many. Including their King. She would never forget that night when it all happened. Her mother died of a broken heart as she tried to hang on for her but wasn't able to. She would kill every orc that would cross her path or her kingdom. No mercy. She forgave her father the day he died. She forbid the whole kingdom to talk about her parents or that day. That day when her parents died and the day she became the queen. She is Queen Miriel Estelmist of Menel, the High Heavens and she is and will be forever alone. Will anyone change her? Or will they break her? This is my first Thranduil Fanfic, I have never written a romance fanfic or story before so I want to try it. This will have slow updates because I am still trying to figure out how this story goes. I do not own any characters but my own.

[A Wattpad FEATURED story!] She's been King Thranduil's close friend for a long time. But when a shocking rumor about his past comes to light, it shakes her entire world. How well does she really know him? With the threat of war and an uncertain future for the Woodland Realm, her comfortable life is changing forever, and so are her feelings for her friend. A story about second chances with eventual romance. Set during the events of the Lord of the Rings. Thranduil/OC Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Tolkien except for my characters. A/N: It was before Christmas 2014 when I first watched BBC's Emma with Romola Garai (wonderful, by the way - watch it if you haven't). A few days later I went to see The Hobbit BOTFA on its opening night. It was during a car trip from a family Christmas party when I came up with idea for this story. And while it doesn't follow the Jane Austen classic completely (Thranduil is no Mr. Knightley!), it was certainly inspired by it. I enjoyed the challenge.
