this is a rewrite of Danamchi from the ground up, using the story as a base, but everything else will be of my desired modification and change to make better storytelling on small details and missed opportunities
first, all characters, unless I specify any notable changes in either appearance, clothing, armor, weapons, or personality, will remain the same and should be seen as the same as before
second, the land, areas, and buildings will have many changes to them based on what they are, their purpose, and their location, and I will describe them to the best of my ability, so this is not the same design as the original
the original story is still the baseline to perceive the event's to unfold, however, there will be many changes and modifications due to certain aspects within my story by either added characters, like Artemis, Aphrodite, and Asteria (who I will refer to as Athena since that's is most comfortable for me), adjusting/modifying certain part's of the story to help further either character development/personality, and other factors I change as well, though I will try to remain as loyal to the original character as possible
while many aspects of magic and the races will change, they will not deviate so far that they can't be recognizable, as well as adding a few other races to make things interesting, such as the Oni, or Merfolk
due to certain aspects of some people, there will be scenes involving sex, gore, and domestic violence, as well as uncensored swearing, you've been warned
AFTER the Battle of Five Armies, an elf prince journeys to the north of Middle Earth in search of the mysterious Strider. But to also escape the grief of a 'love unspoken' as well as the oppressive regime of his father, King Thranduil. There among the Dúnedain, Legolas finds friendship, adventure, a sense of humor and a female ranger who is not quite what she seems. Is he fated to forever love another unrequited? And what of the broken relationship with his father, will the prince's choices drive a deeper wedge between them?
A classic love story, filled with adventure and intrigue, but ALSO a journey into the unwritten years of the beginning of an epic friendship with Aragorn; all set prior to 'The Lord of the Rings'.

I may have nicknamed this story 'Pride and Prejudice for Elves', our silver-haired princeling has several centuries of repression he needs to work through, as well lighten up - before he can become the elf that we know and love in LOTR!
The story is COMPLETE! All votes and comments greatly appreciated. I'd be absolutely thrilled to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery in Middle Earth.
The best writing in this story belongs to @GreenScholarTales, who kindly allowed me to weave my romance into her story, 'Starting Anew.' Please go and see her other works and her original series on Wattpad, The Book of Terrus.
