Fan Fiction ❯ Shining light ❯ Meet Nixa ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

This is an [original] Legolas/OC fic that actually begins AFTER the first book. Ooh! Don't see many of these around! Ok, has anyone actually READ the book, or are they just going off the movie, because most Legolas fics (that seem to resemble each other, don't you think?) show a timeline through Rivendel through Lorien or when Boromir dies. There WAS other stuff after that people! *deep breath* Now that I'm done ranting (oh, and this doesn't include the authors that are creative), on to the fic.


This begins around the point where Legolas, Glimi, and Aragorn are on the outskirts of Fangorn forest. I'm going with the fact (that I made up *cough*) that there are elves in the forest. The storyline is a little wonky, but it won't really matter as you move farther along. Enjoy, and I will make this as original as I can (down with Mary sues!!!)




Chapter 1: Strange meetings



Legolas, Glimi and Aragorn climbed off their mounts, looking ahead to the great forest before them. Fangorn forest stretch as far as the eye could see in either direction.


"Are we to enter the forest then?" asked Legolas to his companions.


"Nay, let us rest here for the night is almost upon us. In the morning we shall find the hobbits." He turned to Glimi. "Glimi, can you go into the forest a ways and look for some kindle. But take heed, I do not believe that you should use your axe on the trees, for I fear there is something unknown in this forest. Look for dead ones instead." Glimi nodded his head once and started into the forest.


Legolas took the reins of Aragorn's horse and led him towards a grassy mound. "What shall we do with them?" he asked.


"We shall let them go in the morning. I do not believe that they will follow us into the forest. They will travel back to their owners."


Legolas brushed his hand over his mount's muzzle and spoke softly elvish into his ear, calming him.


An hour later, when the sun had begun to set, Glimi came trudging back with a large pile of dead wood, arranging it all into a crude circle for the fire.


Legolas lifted an eyebrow at the un-naturally large pile of wood. "Did you touch your axe against any of the trees dwarf?" he said, his hand instinctively reaching for his bow.


Glimi gave a little laugh at the sight of his friend. "You elves always did love your trees too much. Nay, I have not touched your precious trees." A shadow came over his face. "There have been orcs in the forest. A good score of trees were lying dead in the path as I ventured in."


"Then we are close," said Aragorn, taking out his flint to light the fire, as the daylight was swiftly fading away.


"Aye" said Glimi, sitting down in front of the soon to be fire and pulling out the small rations that the rangers had given them. Deciding on some hard tack and a canteen of water, he offered the food to the others. Aragorn, who had brought to life the crackling fire, graciously accepted it.


They had all settled down near the warmth of the fire, when suddenly a cry came from the forest canopy and a small bundle came hurdling down into Glimi's lap. Shocked, Glimi dropped the canteen and the last remaining biscuits he was holding.


The small, quaking bundle looked up, noticing the face of the person she had landed in. It appeared to be a small, golden haired elf child. She was dressed it what used to be a lovely blue frock, but it was now torn in various places. Her face was streaked with dirt and tears.


She cocked her head to one side, as if processing what Glimi was. Finally, after a long silence, in which no one out of four had moved, the little elf girl spoke.


"Who is you?" she asked in a small voice.


Glimi, getting over his shock, replied. "Glimi, son of Gloin."


The elf maid looked on the verge of tears. "Will G'imi help Nixa?"


The dwarf, thoroughly touched by the little elfmaiden smiled slightly done at her.


"Where did you come from?" asked Legolas.


Nixa looked up from Glimi's shirt, noticing the other two companions for the first time. With a gasp she scampered over Glimi's back and hide behind him. Glimi threw them a helpless look.


Nixa clutched Glimi around the neck and looked again at the man and the elf. "Why, you is an elf, like Nixa!" she said to Legolas, surprised. Then she looked at Aragorn with hateful eyes. "But you is a man, an evil man. You tries to take Nixa's Rowen away from hers!" She hid behind Glimi again. The three companions looked at each other, confused.


Glimi gently lifted Nixa off of his back and put her down on his knee.


"Don't worry Nixa, Aragorn is a good man, he will help us get this Rowen back."


Nixa's eyes sparkled. "Reawy?" she clapped her hands in delight. She plopped down from Glimi's lap and went over to Aragorn, her head hanging down. She hauld herself unto his lap.


"Nixa's sowy." She said.


Aragorn smiled, the lines of weary and pain lifting from his face. He patted the girl on the head.


"Already forgiven." He said.


"So, who is this Rowen?" Legolas asked the young girl.


She turned to Legolas with sorrow filled eyes. "She is an elf, like you and Nixa. She is Nixa's sister!" she said with a nod of her head. "The evil nasty man tolded his beasts to come take Rowen and Nixa away, but Nixa escape, she did! Nixa is going to find help for Rowen!"


"So Saruman is behind this, is he? But what would he want with an elf maiden?" Legolas asked, and turned to Nixa.


"The evil old man wants Rowen's shi-" her eyes suddenly grew wide and she clapped her hands over her mouth. "Nixa's not suppose to tell!" she said between her fingers.


"Please Nixa, we need to know. It may help us figure out why he want's the girl." Aragorn said, but Nixa's hands remained over her mouth and she just shook her head.


Deciding that it was a lost cause, Aragorn turned to his two companions. "I believe we should rest now, and venture into the forest tomorrow in search of the hobbits, and " he cast a glance down to Nixa "Rowen."


Nixa happily leapt off of Aragorn's knee, climbing back up unto Glimi's lap. She lay her head against him and was instantly asleep.










Can someone tell me what happened at the end of the Silmarillion (or do you have to wait for the movie to be put out too *ducks at random things being thrown at her* sorry!)? Because I can't remember for the life of me!


So, was it good, was it bad? Review please
