It was now several hours since Legolas had entered the forest, and as yet he had seen no sign of the mysterious entity who had disrupted the very air by their prescence. His sharp eyes pierced the undergrowth, looking for a trail of some kind, and his pointed ears were alert to the slightest sound. He walked softly onwards.
At last, a dim light seemed to glow in the distance, where all other light had long ago been extinguished. Instantly, the elf halted. The hunter had nearly found his prey, and nothing must be done to alert the intruder of his prescence. Step by step, he inched closer.
Rounding the final tree, he stopped. Standing with her back to him was a girl, staring into a glowing orb. Her hair was long, very long, and a richly vivid brown that seemed to glow from within with the fires of the earth. Although he could only see her back, something in her height and build suggested that this was no mortal girl, but a she-elf, one of his own kind.
Still, he didn't move, unsure if her could trust her. Most of the elves had already crossed the sea for the sanctuary of the Grey Havens, yet this one had remained behind. Not only that, but he was sure he had never met her before, neither in Mirkwood, nor in Rivendell or Lothlorien, and her secrecy suggested that she may be an Avari, an elf on the side of Evil. There was only one way to find out. Swiftly drawing his bow, he crossed the clearing. The girl spun, startled, but by then it was already too late. His arrow was pointing straight at her heart.
