LOTR/The Hobbit collection (imagines, characters x reader & preferences)

And there you entered the realm of Mirkwood, the realm of king Thranduil.

It was your first time there and once you got through the Forest Gate you pulled out the map your brother Lindir gave to you.

That day you were replacing your brother already taken with business for Lord Elrond.

"If it's just to deliver a message, I can do it" you offered yourself suddenly appearing interrupting a reunion between your brother and Lord Elrond startling them.

A confused look from each other but that changed with your brother saying "I trust my sister, she can manage it very well".

"So be it" Elrond felt reassured "take this message to king Thranduil".

And here you found yourself on the Elf-path through Mirkwood as your brother Lindir suggested to take thanks to the map.

You followed the path with caution looking sometimes at the map making sure you wouldn't lose yourself in that intricated forest.

The road went on and on but out of the blue you heard a noise.

What could that be?

You were all alone.

You gulped and pulled out your dagger as istinct.

"Who's there?" you raised your voice trying to be firm.

No response but another noise.

A breaking branch.

You got off your horse and pulled the reins and you began following that noise until you arrived at a lake.

You looked around to see if there could be anyone.

Total silence but after a moment a stallion came out to drink.

You moved close to it.

It was elegant and white as pure as the moon and on its face a corn.

"A unicorn" you remained in awe.

You never saw an unicorn! It was said it was a legend, a rare species of horses to be seen in the whole Middle Earth.

You tried to approach the unicorn to caress it but you didn't even have time to get close that the stallion retreated and ran away.

Something may have startled the horse so you turned around and there you saw.

A blonde male elf standing near your steed ready to shoot an arrow from his bow.

"Who are you and what's your matter here in Mirkwood?" he interrogated you.

"And whom am I talking to?" you responded with another question.

"I'm prince Legolas".

"So your father is king Thranduil, I suppose" you told as you opened your bag and took out the letter.

"I'm (y/n), sister of Lindir from Rivendell and counsellor of Lord Elrond" you then handed out the seal "I have to deliver this message".

"You may follow me" the prince suggested as you finally convinced him about everything.

And so you resumed your journey with Legolas.
