Author’s Note: I admit that I did have to refer to J.R.R Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and David Day’s ‘A Guide to Tolkien’ in order to make sure that I had the sequences in the right order. I am not afraid to admit that I do some research even if it’s a story I’ve read before. I did take a few liberties, but I don’t apologize. I chose to focus my story away from the central action, so to speak. My ‘pull’ toward the Elves is something I’ve never denied… and my awe over Lothlorien is at the heart of it.

Thank you to Marianne who has given me support on this fic and to whom this fic is dedicated. She actually seemed to like the idea that this story *didn’t* focus on Legolas or the Fellowship. She definitely understands my need to walk the unbeaten path sometimes. And thank you to Toni for the beta.

Summary: This story is novel-verse and illustrates the Elves part in the War while the Fellowship was battling Sauron and Saruman.
