Legolas is the equivalent of a 15 year old human, making him around 100. His father, Thranduil, blames his son for the death of his wife (in this story she died in child birth) and beats his son every day in punishment. 

Aragorn (Estel) was raised by elves in Rivendell, where such cruelty would never be tolerated. He is currently aged 20. When he is sent to Mirkwood as a representative of Lord Elrond, he accidentally discovers the hardships of the prince's life. 

But will Estel be able to rescue Legolas? And if he does, will the elf ever be able to learn to trust?

Aragorn is trying to deal with the truth he has only just learned about his heritage. Can he save Legolas' life and bear the burden of a destiny he doesn't want? And what will happen if he fails?

And what of the broken relationship with his father, will the prince's choices drive a deeper wedge between them?

In the wake of a dark and grimy cell of Mirkwood, you find yourself in a sticky situation. You are [Y/n], the last daughter of Izalith, the Witch of Chaos, and this 'chaos blood' runs in your blood strongly as it did with all of your deceased siblings. It's a festering disease you aim to control, after disrupting the Elven Peace and almost getting killed by the King of Mirkwood. Luckily for you, a second chance at life had found its way into your reaches, granted by a certain wizard; Gandalf the Grey, protector of Middle Earth professes that [Y/n] can heal from her dark heritage, and instead become the saviour of dark times through fighting a greater evil; Lord Sauron. Upon finding yourself join the Fellowship thinking all was going well, you can't help but notice the livid glares of a certain blonde elf. Your gaze turns to meet the eyes of Legolas. Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, knows who you are and detests you for it. Prove yourself, [Y/n]. Prove that blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. 𐬺𞠬𐬺 Hello! This is an xReader for feminine persons, and it involves a ton of inspiration from Dark Souls, so yeah, if you're reading this and thinking; "Izalith? Isn't that the witch from that one game?"- to that I say, yes it is. I'm a huge geek for that trilogy... Also this is based off both the book AND movies. I'm hoping to capture quality realism in this book, since I never read a fanfic that feels genuine or authentic in the way characters would act, or speak. My writing isn't used to formality, imma try my best to make it sound like Middle Earth speech, but if you see any mistakes, please for the love of Eru, point it out and give me advice!!!! Other than that, if you have any questions, ask on my feed, and I'll answer it on here (if it's a popular question). Prepare for deep lore and symbolism!! There's a reason for everything that happens in this book, and you are the main focus of it all. THANKS FOR READING!!! BYEE

He seems perfectly normal to everyone around him, but he has a secret. For the last three or fours years, the prince has been having strange dreams about a mysterious young woman. Normally, he would not worry about a few silly dreams, but when he's in the dreams, they feel so real, like memories... or are they visions of the future?
