In which Tauriel, Captain Of ElvenKing Thranduil of Mirkwood's Guard, is portrayed in a new, badass light. Peter Jackson created her (seemingly solely) for a nonexistent love triangle between characters, to add romance for audience appeal. He gave her no real purpose for the movie, other than adding unnecessary drama to the mix (again, for audience appeal) But what if, she was more than just a young damsel in distress, in need of a lover? More than just a naïve, reckless figure in love? What if, she were Mirkwood's highest ranking warrior, trained in the deadly art of defense, her main focus to protect her beloved people, (though most especially the King and his son) from whatever harm there may be in the deep dark of Mirkwood, and the evil beyond? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For many years, the young fiery tempered elleth trained under the guard of Mirkwood, learning to master both blade and bow. Every day she worked hard to earn her place amongst the others. Her determination, skill and attitude soon ranked her higher than her comrades, who were weary of the strange elleth. She had always been....different, than the others. And for this most of he elves kept their distance from her. She was colder, distant, fierce. So unlike the other elleths of Mirkwood, who preferred the warm enclosure Thranduil's halls provided. Perhaps her cold heart and face was best explained by her past. One that she told not a single soul.... Cover made by @Storm_Herald!! Started 8/5/18 - #111 in battle 8/8/18 #19 in Tauriel 9/8/18 #3 in battleofthefivearmies 3/1/19

Perhaps the best of tales are the ones that might have been. The ones that delve into the depths of lore and grasp something unexpected, something that should've remained hidden for all time. Perhaps the tales left unexplored are the ones that need to be told the most. "I'm enchanted! I don't think I have read another story quite like this that is this authentically elvish... It is a true treasure on here!" ~Aiwren "I'm enjoying this! Your style is very fitting. Well done!" ~ EpicRedpenn "Wonderfully penned. I cannot express how much I love your work, it's like reading an undiscovered chapter of Tolkien, even. I can't wait for more!" ~Dreamescape07 "Indeed, most tales of Middle Earth do not come from an Elf's eyes. Yes, they do see all, and that is the pity of it. If you look into an elf's eyes, you will see Time itself. Pools of memory, lakes of sorrow and springs of joy. The elves are where sorrow and joy meet. Perhaps that is why they are so intriguing.

A bitter Elvenking. A lonely, orphaned girl. And a cursed elf who thirsts for revenge. When Legolas, prince of the Woodland Realm, is returning to his home after three years absence, he comes across a young girl in the forest. Starved, alone, and on the brink of death, he decides to take the girl back to his kingdom, where she is slowly nursed back to health. The girl, however, is stubborn, and refuses to tell anyone of herself and her past. She revels in pestering anyone she can, particularly their cold and ill-tempered king Thranduil. But although she despises him, she can't help but form a certain attachment to the king who, though thousands of years older than her, is one of the few who have experienced the pain of loss to the extent that she has. Just as they begin to see past their pride and anger and start to see in one another the family they both subconsciously crave, an old enemy of the King's resurfaces and threatens to destroy what little they have left. In desperation, the girl sets off to find the one thing that can save those she cares for. As she faces deadly creatures, confusing puzzles, and even death itself, the Enemy is ever intent on stopping her from completing her task, for he still desires two things. The spilled Blood of Oropher. And the White Rose.
