Thranduil is often seen as a cold, hard, uncaring elf who is incapable of feeling love. In reality, he is broken inside from the loss of his wife, and never learned to deal with it properly, burying his emotions deep within himself and not allowing himself to feel anything at all. When he finds a girl with remarkable abilities, will she be able to heal his wounds? Will he learn to have faith in others again? I do not lay claim to any of J.R.R Tolkien or Peter Jackson's work, the only things I own are the parts of the storyline that I created and the characters I created.

Book I of the 'To Live Again' Saga In the modern world Clara Riley experiences a life changing event...death!

^^The cover picture is from weheartit.com This is a story based on a Tumblr request I received asking if I would write a Thranduil story based on "Beauty and the Beast." It is a reader insert! It deviates a bit from the original story. I do not own any Hobbit characters. They belong to J.R.R Tolkien. Characters I do own: Genyc Cellyn Calilmal Elebridith (I will be updating this list as I write) I use http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/elvish/phrases.html for the Elvish translations.

"Come out, barrel rider." He hissed. " Smaug!" A voice clear as crystal rang out. A woman in white began to descend the stairs, she herself had Dragon wings attached to her back. Her skin was as pale and fine as the richest pearl. Smaug shrunk down into a man. Well, not quite, giant leathery wings sprouted from his back. Gold scales where on the sides of his gold eyes, which where no longer trained on Bilbo, on the woman. The pale woman walked down to the once Dragon. " Why are you chasing the little one? Leave him be."

Sophie, a 21st-century human like you and me, finds herself transported to another world that exists alongside our own, Middle-earth.

Together, they face bizarre challenges during these encounters, bringing them face to face with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Reydreil came from a nearly extinct race of Elves. The Dragon Elves. Her race descended from valars people. She was born a warrior and commander of Dragons and many other creatures. Nature was her home. Her kin had been burned to flames in front of her eyes by the great King Thranduil. In return she had gotten her dragon to burn half his face off. That wasn't enough for the blood spilt. She traveled a century getting stronger and wiser. Reydreil was intent on getting revenge on the handsome king? But what if two broken souls could mend each other? Of course with a few insults and punch or kick two along the way. - "If this is so wrong, why does it feel so right?"
