Disclamer: I don't own Legolas but I do own everyone else. Set before the
War of the Ring which is why there aren't many references to LOTR in this
story. Two girls, Leila and Shí disguise themselves as men and join the
army. It's an elvish sort of Mulan with two heroines. Shí/Ahora.
Legolas/Leila. (For once none of the characters are based on me!) The
original version of this story was a swap story between me and my mate Liz.
Ada means father and Nana mother.
The way I'm doing the elves ages is that 500 is the equivalent of a 5 year old so 1500 is a 15 year old. Basically minus the 2 0's and you got the age they look like. And I'm having it that they stop growing at 2000 or 20 so that's why they always look so young. Got it?
To all those who flamed about Éowyn already doing this...she is a human! These are elves. Éowyn fought in one battle, these two fight in lots and train for years. If you notice the whole of the elven army is male so I thought this fitted. Éowyn may do the same but this is set a long time before Return of the King OK? I know Éowyn is a cool character, one of my favourites actually but this is totally different to her. One small note which had been pointed out to me, the reason the girls have joined the army is explained later on because I know it says they wasn't girl power basically but later on it is explained why girl power is so important to them.
This is dedicated to Liz who helped me start it and has told me in person that she loves the fight scenes and ended up cheering out when she was reading it (causing her parents to look at her).
Hidden Identity
Chapter 1; In The Beginning
"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Leila asked as she changed from her long lilac dress into leggings far too baggy and a huge shirt, stolen from Leila's older brother. Leila had flowing blonde hair down past her waist, until Shí took a dagger and cut it to the length of the men's. Leila's eyes were blue and very bright a lively, and now had a death glare in them.
"We need to prove women are as good as men" Shí said. She adjusted the shirt so that it wasn't tucked in. Shí also had long blonde hair but willingly cut her own hair but she had green eyes.
"Fine. Let's get this over with, but if I die, I will kill you" Leila said angrily, pulling on her now much shorter hair.
"That makes sense" Shí muttered.
1 Hour Later
"Name?" Dalamar, an officer of Mirkwood's finest army asked the group of young elves who were signing up.
"Sérle" Leila said, giving her older brothers name.
"Age?" Dalamar asked while writing the name down.
"1647" Leila said.
"Fine, go get your kit in that tent" Dalamar said pointing at the supply tent. "Name?" he asked Shí.
"Gaalin" Shí said, naming her older brother.
"Age?"
"1649"
"Kit up" Dalamar said jerking his thumb at the supply tent. Shí walked into the tent.
"Size?" a clerk asked.
"Largest you have" Shí said. The clerk frowned but gave her the largest uniform they had, it would have fitted someone twice Shí's size. Shí sighed, this was going to be a hard life.
A/n I reposted this to change there ages otherwise Legolas would be a bit of a pervert.
