"There you are. I've been looking for you my lady." She heard her maid said and Annika turns around. Her maids eyes winded when she saw Legolas.

"Oh I'm sorry Legolas. I think Arwen is looking for me. I still need to pack but it was nice talking to you and meeting you. See you." Annika says as she bows to him and walks with her maid back to her room. Legolas watched her retreating figure with a smile and walked away,not even wiping the bright smile upon his face.

"So you and Lord Legolas." The maid teased Annika and she rolled my eyes. Annika chuckled and went inside her room and there stood Arwen. She started to pack her bag with tears in her eyes. Annika walked up to her and stopped her by gently grabbing her hand. She sniffed and looked up at me. Annika hugged her and she hugged back as she sobbed.

"It's alright. We will be back." Annika soothed and she sobbed even harder. After an hour of packing and deciding what to wear and bring,Arwen hugs Annika tightly. She whispers something in elvish Annika couldn't understand.

"What does it mean?" Annika asked Arwen to which makes her smile.

"I hope you will be safe and away from danger. I fear that everything will fall into place soon. It will be perilous to the point where people will not survive. I pray and hope you will be safe and in good hands." She explains.

"As long as I have Aragorn with me,I will be safe." Annika says to which makes Arwen chuckle. Then a knock was heard and both girls turned to find Aragorn. He walks in and smiled.

"Do you mind if I speak with Arwen? It is important." He says and Annika nodded. The couple walks out of the room and Annika sighs as she looks at her pack that Arwen packed.

"I hope so too." She whispers.

Annika smiled as she watched the little elven kids learn how to do archery. She had always wanted to learn but at the time,her father was a drunken poor man who wouldn't let her do anything useful. She snapped out of her thoughts when a bow appeared in front of her. She looked up to see Aragorn in front of her.

"Even though I have trained you well in swords...I do not think I have trained you well with arrows." He says and held out a hand to which she takes. He lead her to a target practice area and sighed.

"Right okay...I need to know which arm you are comfortable aiming with. You're right or your left?" He asked and she looked up at him confused. She had always seen archery in movies and tv shows but never in real life.

"What is your dominant hand?" He asked and she chuckled embarrassingly.

"Oh my right." She says and Aragorn soon stood behind her and placed her hands on the bow.

"Your right hand should be the hand you release the arrow from which will go here on the string." He says as he guides her hand towards the string.

"And your left hand would hold the arrow and bow in place,make sure you are steadying as well. Don't want to end up shooting someone else's arse now would you?" He asked which makes her giggle.

"Now I want you to practice. Play with the string with your right hand and imagine you are aiming towards your target." Annika closed her left eye and aimed the bow towards the target.
