"Nice fighting out there. You are finally getting better." She joked.
He smiled and rolled his eyes, "Thanks."
She grinned, "Yah, well soon you'll be good enough to challenge me." She baited.
He laughed, "I would challenge you now, but I'm all tuckered out."
She looked down at her intricate blade, inspecting it, "Sure...you can use that excuse." She retorted as sly smile spread across her face.
Thea and Nikandros are the newest assassin recruits in their camp and are eager to be accepted. But what happens when their first mission doesn't go the way they planned?

Stars of Varda - An Elven Love Story (Thranduil)
[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.

Nothing is Forever ~ Legolas/LOTR
Agardess made the name for herself as Middle-Earth's greatest assassin. She was cold hearted and quiet, never one for saying anything. She was never one for fate and always decided for herself when it was time for change. And so she chose when she was to die. However on her march to death she finds herself trapped in a adventure for dwarves and attracting the attention of the prince. Agardess finds her fate falling from under her and in order to save her own life she pledges allegiance to the prince. She began to follow him everywhere, never speaking, just ensuring the safety of the prince. This earned her the nickname "Shadow". She felt no loyalty to the King of Mirkwood, only to the prince whom she insisted on calling my Lord. Although she no longer felt the wish to die, she found herself following the prince everywhere causing her to get brought into messes she wouldn't of been able to get into on her own. She was proud to say the Fellowship was one of them. However on the journey she finds herself becoming someone different, someone who smiles and laughs and cries.

The Odyssey of the daughter of the forest
In the dark forest of Mirkwood, shadows are growing, again and again. The leaves are becoming black, as the roots, and as the trees. Birds are not singing anymore. Flowers have disappeared. Even the sun has trouble to light the ground of the forest, once so alive and full of colours. A young elf with red hair is fighting every day for her people, who is retreating before its enemy, who is sending his troups from his black tower, in the south of Middle Earth. Orcs are coming, more and more numerous on their lands. The company of Thorin Oakenshield from the Blue Mountains will not succes to put an end to this invasion. Their fight will just postpone the deadline, by sacrifying many lives, and destroying many others. And by seperating for a while the path of two lovers, who are destined to meet again. Sixty years later, the elf joins the fellowship to save Middle Earth, once and for all, from the threat that are gliding above its people, for a long time. In this quest for freedom, will there be a place for love, hidden for so much time ? The Valars know the answer. Cette histoire existe aussi en français, sur mon compte.Complete![A Lasting Legacy [ Thranduil X OC ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/198003742-256-k138390.jpg)
A Lasting Legacy [ Thranduil X OC ]
COMPLETED story with a COMPLETED SEQUEL; "A Permanent Lineage" *40 chapters overall! '...She had dreamt of what his lips would feel and taste like for literally centuries and they didn't disappoint. The first touch of her lips on his was like a taste of water after years in the desert...' The war of the ring is over. Lady Arden of Ardor belongs to an ancient line of powerful half-breed Elves. Rumors hint at what their powers could possibly entail but no one knows for sure. Some say they are clairvoyant and others proclaim them to be shapeshifters. Many say both. One thing is for sure; all of Middle Earth fears them. But the war could not have been won without their aid and now the cursed line is asking for acceptance. No longer do they want to wander the forests endlessly, moving from kingdom to kingdom as permanent nomads. Now they call for a meeting between the fellowships' 5 bloodlines, requesting a permanent lineage and kingdom. There are just 2 problems that hinder lady Arden from finally receiving the honor her and her kin deserve. 1. The kingdom they wish to call theirs borders Mirkwood forest. 2. The king of Mirkwood is not so inclined on being neighbors with cursed creatures, especially their queen. Raised to look down upon anything not of full elvish form, Thranduil is enraged by the audacity of the creature and her people who have plagued his borders for centuries. However many do not know that the 2 were once inseparable. Long ago the 2 elvish races lived in peace until tragedy struck. Ever since then, Thranduil has hated Arden and her people with a passion. When it comes down to the last vote, it is none other than Thranduil who holds their future in his hands. Will he take advantage of Arden in the process of deciding? Will Arden finally be able to change his mind and in the end gain something more eternal than a legacy?

However, nothing in the story has changed. -DISCLAIMERS: NEW READERS READ BEFORE CONTINUING- •Scenes of Violence, Action, and some Language. • I do not own Middle Earth or the characters specifically created by Tolkien, all I own is Rain, Bogwater, Havish, and the plot to this story. •This story has many twists and turns, please don't freak out on me if something you don't particularly like happens. •This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit plot. This is an all original plot using my own characters that just happen to run into Gollum, Gandalf, and some others, including Elrond.

Just That And Nothing More
Bilba Baggins is a bit shy. Okay, she's a LOT shy and when Gandalf shows up and dumps an entire Company of dwarves on her she is decidedly NOT amused.......or capable of speaking to them.....particularly the dark haired one who happens to be a PRINCE. Thanks for that heads up, Gandalf. All she can think is Kili should have a warning sign on him. It could say something like: "Caution: Exposure to KILI could result in side effects including but not limited to - - Incoherent speech - Inability to speak at all - Increased clumsiness - Decrease in brain function In a few cases more serious side effects have been reported including, but not limited, to - - The sudden urge to run off on poorly thought out adventures - Delusions where one believes they are capable of stealing from Trolls and/or dragons In order to limit the risk of developing one or more of these side effects individuals should limit their exposure to KILI to brief bursts of staring or sidelong glances." Honestly, it'd only be fair.Complete
The Shadow Walker
Eda is a flight-risk mercenary with a bad track record. Living on half-payments from uncompleted jobs, she hopes that her luck will change. And it does. When Eda meets Gandalf, he tells her that being reluctant to kill - valuing life - is not a weakness. And seeing Eda's true colors beneath her tough and careless facade, he hires her to protect his favorite Hobbit as Bilbo takes an unexpected holiday. But even that doesn't quite go according to plan... *cover art created by @elvenmystery.* **All credit goes to J.R.R. Tolkien for everything except the character(s) I created.** Rated PG-13 for action violence, intense battle sequences, and mild suggestive reference.Complete
