Nature

She met him at the most embarrassing time in her life.

She recorded his appearance, his outline, his voice, his every frown and smile.

She remembered the way he pointed an arrow at her, tall and tall, with blond hair fluttering, and her reflection in his sea-like eyes.

Although she was wearing dirty and messy animal skins, although her whole body was covered with spider silk, and although her face was covered with scars, a strange feeling filled her heart, and the heart in her left chest was pounding. jumping.

The big spiders fell down one by one, and the elf beside him jumped to her side and looked at her.She heard him speaking in a language she didn't understand in an elegant and calm voice, and then she was pulled up by a female elf.

The elf, speaking fluent English, asked her if she could walk.She nodded numbly.

A cloak was thrown over her body, and she subconsciously wrapped herself tightly around her body.

The light from the blue crystal on her chest dimmed, and she followed the elves into the depths of the forest.Step by step, barefoot, faltering.

The elf supported her, but the golden figure didn't look back.

A sense of loss spread, and she suddenly understood something.

——"Only if you are strong enough can you make the one you love look at you."

The blue crystal became cold and hung on her chest.

A slender white hand hooked up the chain around her neck, slowly slid down, and slowly lifted the crystal up.

"What's your name?" In the main hall of the underground palace, the eight-foot-tall elf king slowly asked in Western Common Tongue.

"Anna."

With deep blue eyes, Thranduil looked at her coldly, "Where did you get the necklace?"

"A mermaid gave it to me," Anna lowered her eyes, she said reluctantly, she felt sorry for the mermaid.

Thranduy's fingers slowly slid across the crystal and lowered it down. Their faces were only separated by two fists. Anna looked directly into his eyes, and a fear of being seen through emerged spontaneously, "You are not a human being." He He said slowly, "Who are you?"

Anna lowered her head, "I am human." She bit her lip.

Thranduil smiled lightly. He turned around, said a few words to Legolas, then ordered the female elf, and returned to the throne.

The female elf walked towards Anna, smiled at Anna, and led her up the corridor.

The corridors of the underground palace are long and deep, with no bottom to be seen, intricate and interlocking.After the female elf brought Anna to a room, she invited her in.

"You can go in and take a shower first, and the clothes will be delivered by someone." The female elf pouted into the house, "My name is Taurier, if you need anything, you can come to me."

"Hello, Tauriel." Anna lowered her eyes and said softly.

Taurier closed the door, and Anna soaked her whole body in the bathtub, feeling very comfortable.She narrowed her eyes.

She let down her hair and began to comb the spider silk in it.

Taurier sent in the clothes, a silver gauze dress, a hair crown and a comb, the specifications of which were close to that of the Elf Queen.

She waited patiently outside the door for a long time, and then she saw Legolas.

She saluted, but was curious, and asked, "Who is she?"

"I don't know." Legolas glanced at the closed door indifferently, "It's just a human being."

Taurier bowed his head and said nothing, probably not just ordinary humans.She pursed her lips, thought of something again, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Legolas' tone was a little impatient: "Father wants me to watch her." He paused, "Help her by the way." His voice was a little muffled.

Taurier was stunned for a while, and then let out a meaningful oh.

"You're kidding me?" Legolas raised his eyebrows, but his eyes softened.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Anna came out from inside.

With one hand, he lifted the black hair that had become smooth and supple again, and with the other hand, he combed it with a comb, and the water dripped on the ground.There are fine wounds on her clean and delicate face, and the silver gauze dress on her body has a special charm.

"Tariel, I..." Anna paused after seeing Legolas, but couldn't look away.

It's him……

Tauriel nodded to Anna, "This is Your Highness Legolas, the son of King Thranduil."

"Your Highness." Anna imitated the posture of an elf and bowed to him.

Legolas nodded, with calm eyes, and said, "The king asks you to learn how to live among elves." He glanced at Anna's long wet hair, paused, "With my help. And Proficient in your human language."

Anna froze for a moment, then saw the golden touch pass by, and then the red-haired female elf brushed her long hair up for her.

Three months later, Anna hurriedly walked along the promenade of the underground palace, and occasionally met an elf, nodded and passed by.

Three months ago, she confirmed that this was the world of "The Lord of the Rings", and guessed that the plot of "The Hobbit" had not yet happened.She was rescued by Legolas after being attacked by a giant spider in Mirkwood.In the past three months, he and Tariel have also taken turns helping her learn how to live in the elves.

After working hard in the field for a year, he once drank blood, and occasionally suffered from starvation. Both physical injuries and stomach diseases have been cured by the elves, and his current living habits are completely followed by the elves.English is also very good.

However, Thranduil suddenly called her over, saying that he wanted to see her.Anna touched the crystal on her neck, and faced the king here with some awkwardness.

"Anna" sounded, and Anna slowly lowered her head and saluted.

Thranduil stepped down from his throne, an envelope in his hand.

"Lady Galadriel wants to see you. Pack up your things. Tomorrow, Legolas will escort you south with six people."

Startled, Anna raised her head, but bumped into that deep gaze.

"Protect your necklace." Thranduil stared at her, then turned around.

Anna's puzzled eyes drifted to Legolas who was standing beside him, but she was warned by a look not to be troublesome.

"Yes." Her voice trembled slightly.

Legolas came towards her and led her out of the hall. "The blue crystal you carry has aroused father's great interest, but Lady Galadriel knows more," he explained.

Anna nodded.Legolas had always been polite but distant towards her, but a sudden incident eased the relationship between the two of them.She still remembered that rainy afternoon, looking out from the window of the corridor of the underground palace, the tall trees were still dark, and the drizzle slanted, covering the forest with a veil, adding a sense of mystery like mist.

Leaning against the window, she caught a glimpse of Legolas returning from his forest patrol out of the corner of her eye.

"Did Your Highness meet a big spider?" She asked in Common Tongue on a whim.

Legolas was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect that they had any other interaction besides the usual lectures. "No." He replied, and then seemed to think of something again, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "I haven't met a human with a mysterious treasure either."

"It turns out that my image in Your Highness's mind is a human being carrying a mysterious treasure." Anna laughed at herself, "Then, does Your Highness know what that treasure is?"

"I don't know," the deep blue eyes stared into hers, "You are very strange. Your hair and eyes are as black as night, and your skin is the color of wheat..."

"The face is flat and has no obvious outline. It does not belong to any race in humans. There is also a crystal that occasionally glows hanging around the neck, making ice cubes at any time."

Legolas seemed to be taken aback by her boldness, then he frowned, and said slowly: "I don't know the race of humans, I have never been out of the forest alone, I read all this knowledge from books, His eyes began to be sad and deep, watching the rain outside the window, "I don't know the name of that crystal, but I know it comes from the sea."

"The sea..." Anna pondered.

Legolas suddenly smiled, "I have never seen the sea, but I have always wanted to go to it. My heart has always been filled with the melody of the vast sea and the horn of Ulmo."

Anna looked at Legolas, and she felt that the elf in front of her had some indescribable sadness, "Have you never been out of the forest?"

Legolas turned around suddenly, his eyes widened, and then his long eyelashes drooped, "No." He then added, "This forest is very big, it is my home.

"This forest is really beautiful. Every afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves. The tall and green trees are soft in the light and shadow. Squirrels are crawling on the trees. If I didn't come from outside, I might stay here forever. Forever." Anna said softly, she stood side by side with Legolas, looking out the window, "but the outside world is vast, although home is the most beautiful place, but after wandering in the outside world and returning to this place full of A warm home will give you a different feeling.”

Legolas looked at her. "Where is your home?"

"I don't know." Anna smiled bitterly, "I don't have a home anymore."

"--Sorry……"

"It's okay," Anna pretended to be relaxed. A year has passed, and she has learned how to accept this reality firmly and calmly. "What about Your Highness? Why haven't you been out of the forest?"

Legolas hesitated to speak, but in the end, he said hesitantly, "Father said it was dangerous outside."

"It is indeed dangerous. But it is precisely because of the danger that we must move forward bravely. Because suffering will exercise people's body and will."

Legolas smiled. "I know. But I never got a chance to actually get out."

"Then sneak out."

Legolas stared blankly at Anna, and Anna's eyes flashed narrowly, "Opportunities are created by myself."
