Finding the way back

The curse

Many Elves surrounded us that we could no longer see the beautiful landscape. "State your name and propose intruders!" Yelled an Elf which I find out later is the captain of the guard. "You will be lucky to have your head still on let alone your job Claudia!!! It is I! Alliakin, son of Aladiorn, the King." Yelled my brother. Just then Claudia saw her mistake and feel to her knees. "I am sorry my prince. We have strict orders to shoot on sight. Forgive me." Claudia begged. But before my brother answered and stepped forward and helped her up. "You are forgiven." I smiled at her but she straight away moved back as if I was going to attack her. "I am so sorry my princess! I didn't mean to shoot you!! Please do not hurt me!" I really am a monster. I help me hands out in plead. "I won't hurt you. I have changed. I'm not a monster anymore." Claudia see it in my eyes as she smile and came and stood proudly in front of me. "My dear princess. Welcome home. I and your guard will escort down to the palace." She smiled the turned to the guard who marched behind us as when walked down and into the city. "You have changed Atarah. I know you still think your a monster but you not. I'll make sure of it." Legolas whispered to me.

A crowd started to form as elves herd of our arrival. Many stared at me with fear in their eyes. What on middle earth caused me to be so harsh. "It was after the transfer of the gift." Alliakin said answering my question. "You changed. You became angry and cruel. Most likely from the memories of old." We turned down into the Main Street. Pillars lined the street. They were made of Gold with vines climbing the pillars, not quite teaching the top. All the elves lined street and vowed low as we walked pass. Claudia yelled something in elvish. I didn't understand it all for the elvish of the North is slightly different. But I figured out what she was saying. She was saying that I am free of the cruel curse and am kind once again. "Curse? What curse." I asked my brother. He looked at me and replied. "You are not the only Queen to be changed by the memories of old. Our great grandma mother was." The crowd cheered in response and chanted my name. I looked to Legolas and smiled. "See! Your not a monster." He replied seeing my happiness.

We reach the great palace and waiting for us at the steps was the King and Queen and a young elfing which I guess is my sister, Alimane. They were all smiling greatly at me as they have herd the news of my new character. I was nearly there when the Queen couldn't take it any longer and ran down the steps and embraced me in a hug. She was crying deeply. "Alradiain told me of your memory loss. I am so sorry my children but we are glad to have you home my love." I cried with her. I felt arms wrap around my waist. It was the little elfing, Alimane. "I missed you sister!" She cried. "But u have only been away for a week?" I was confused, everyone acted as if I was gone missing. But I have, "you have been gone for a very long time my daughter." The king said as he reached to hug me as well. Mother wiped my tears away and smiled. "Mother. I have found him." I told her smiling. She looked confused for a minute and looked around until her eyes stopped on Legolas. She smiled greatly and quickly walked to hug him as well. Legolas was surprise and quickly hugged her back before letting go just as quickly. "My dear child! Last time I saw you you were just learning how to walk!" Legolas smiled at her, "then it is good to see you again." "Indeed! How is your father? And mother! I miss them dearly! You must tell them how I wished none to have to move away from them." Legolas lowered his head , "My mother is dead, she died..." But before he continued my mother fell to her knees and my father turned his back on us. She weeped silently while my father shed a tear and went to help her up. "I am sorry my love, it is all my fault. I see that now." My father pleaded to his wife. "I am so sorry Legolas. Your mother was a sister to me." She said to Legolas. "I am glad to hear. It is not your fault, she died a warrior and died protecting me." Legolas shook his head and held back the tears. I went and hugged Legolas. He sighed and rested his head on top of mine. "See even you couldn't keep fate from coming to pass." Said my mother to the king.
