LEGOLAS: O_O! O.K. Lady Blade WarAngel does not own Lord of The Rings. Hey, how did I know your name?

SUMMERY: What would happen, if the one ring was reformed, into a person? Aragorn and Legolas think it too cruel to destroy a young girl. So Legolas raises the child lie his own. But when people begin to hunt the child, to claim her power, will Legolas make his greatest sacrifice? And if he can, will he be able to forgive himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Return of the One Ring - Phoenix, Child of The Fire.

Chapter one - The Discovery.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The battle was over. It had been for about twenty years. Aragorn of Gondor, rode through a forest, to visit his old friend, Legolas. That was when he heard crying. He thought it sounded like a child. is eyes narrowed with suspicion. He rode towards the direction in which he heard the crying. e carried on riding for what seemed like an eternity, through greenary and shrbs. It had reall been barely a minute. He found himself at a beautiful blue lake. It was te most crystal blue colour, that Aragorn had ever seen.

Next to the lake was a child. She could not have been more then seven. Her knees pulled up into her chest, and er head buried there. Aragorn felt a great pity for the small girl. He could see her long red hair, covering her face. It was red like a flame. Aragorn got down from his horse. Looking at the child carefully, Aragorn thought of the best way to approach her. She was young, and probably frightened. Aragorn saw that the small child was dressed in a robe of white. So white that it was almost blinding to look at. The sleeves flared, and the skirt readched the cilds ankles. Aragorn could also see that she wore wite slippers on her feet. Aragorn called to the child qietly, so as not to frighten her.

"Hello?" He called to her. She looked up in fright. Aragorn showed is hands. Putting them up in a gesture of surrender. The little girl was still frightened, but did not move away. Aragorn smiled down at the girl. "I'm Aragorn of Gondor. What is your name child?" Aragorn asked her. "My name is Phoenix." The little girl said. Aragorn smiled at the child slightly. But when he looked at her eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine. Her eyes were pitch black. Not even a pupil was seen in the blackness of her eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aragorn rode into Mirkwood. he little child sat in front of him. She giggled happily as the horse galloped to Legolas' castle. "Where is your family little one?" Aragorn asked her. "I don't have a family. I was made by fire." The child replied. Aragorn saw that her face seemed to age as though she were truelly older then he. Like she had seen many lifetimes before him. Aragorn was confused by the child's statement. The child only known as Phoenix.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas was waiting for Aragorns arrival. That was when he heard the voice of Gandalf. "It is alright Legolas, you need not fear. I'm contacting you to warn you." Gandalf's voice ecoed in his mind. Legolas Listened intently. "I warn you of the return of the one ring." Legolas' eyes shot open. He had not realised that he even had them closed. "The return of the one ring?" Legolas thought to himself. "Yes. It shall return as a child wuth hair like a red flame, and eyes, that are blacker then the most evil soul." Legolas heard Gandalf in his mind.

"I don't understand. How can that be possible?" Legolas asked. "The ring was formed by the fire. The child is innocent. Aragorn rides here with the child now. He has no idea what she is, or the power she holds within her. Not even the child herself nderstands what has happened. She will be fearful of all. But remember Legolas, destroying the child is not the answer." Legolas was still confused, as he felt Gandalf leave his mind. That was when he saw Aragorn ride through the gates, with a small child, infront of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aragorn and Legolas discussed what Legolas had heard from Gandalf. Phoenix played with a ball on the floor. She smiled at them. Her smiled was so kind and gentle, that the two could barely believe that this child had been created from the evil one ring. The ring that ad lured everyoe by the idea of it's seductive power.

The little girl stood up and walked over to them. She looked at Legolas. "Why am I here?" She asked. Legolas smiled at the child. "You're here to be my little girl. I have no children. So will you stay and be my daughter?" Legolas asked the small girl. She nodded. "You're both kind to me." The little girl said. She lifted her arms towards Legolas. Legolas pulled the little girl on to his lap. She soon relaxed, and fell asleep. Legolas looked at the small child.

"Are you sure of this Legolas?" Aragorn asked. "One day you may have to destroy this child. If what Gandalf says ins true, then one day the war of Middle Earth will start again. This child will be the cause of a great power struggle." Aragorn said. Legolas looked t him. "I will do what must be done. But you would never hurt the child, if you bought her up with your own children. She would be like your own child, and you knwo yur children would not forgive you, if you had to kill her." Legolas said. Aragorn nodded. "I understand what you say old friend. But would you be able to harm the child, if it were necessary?" Aragorn asked.

Legolas looked at the small child. "I do not know. I hope I would be able to do the right thing. For Mirkwood, and all of Middle Earth." Legolas replied. He held the small girl closer to him. "Until that day, I shall raise the child as my own." Legolas said. Aragorn nodded. "You have made a wise decision Legolas. I just hope that you will be able to make more of them." Aragorn said. Legolas nodded. He stood up, still holding the child in his arms. "I will get the maids to prepare a room for Phoenix." Legolas said quietly. Aragorn nodded.

He watched Legolas leave the room and sighed. He knew that when the time came. If it came. Legolas would not hurt the child. Because Legolas had already started to treat the child as his own daughter. Aragorn prayed that something would give Legolas the strength, if and when the time came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas tucked Phoenix into bed. He smiled as the little girl curled under the blanket and slept. He brushed stray locks from the child's face. "I hope that I will have the strength if the time ever comes. I doubt I will." Legolas thought. He smiled at the small girl. Then he left the room. Hoping the child would not be afraid if she woke up on her own. He went back and caried on talking to Aragorn. But he knew that he could not kill the child. She was too innocent. Just as Gandalf had told him she was. He sighed. Wishing that he knew what to do.
