Hey everyone. So I hope those of you hobbit fans out there are getting pumped for the movie battle of the five armies coming out;). And hopefully you will enjoy this story of Tauriel's journey. I did a lot of research so, much of the utilized Should be fairly accurate. But after watching the trailer for the Battle of the Five Armies, I decided to edit the first two chapters or so. Some is based off my research, whilst others is from imagination. If it isn't factually correct please comment in a review and tell me how you like this start. It jumps back to present and past a lot. More past than present, in which Tauriel pretty much journeys through a 24 hour present day journey of a reunion, whilst explaining elongated memories of her past before she sailed to undying lands. Okay enough gibberish of my note. In case you don't know, this is fairly similar to the book arrangement of if i stay. There's gonna be alot of editing since i just saw the BotFA too and I apologize

Prologue Flashback

She witnessed her father fall protecting her.

She saw her mother sliced to bits piece by piece by orcs over hundred years ago.

And her journeys were filled with fighting ever since she became a maiden warrior; Captain of the Guard

As far as Tauriel's life went, she had always experienced so much fatigue and agony.

Just more loved ones dead and more lives destroyed.

This wasn't something necessarily new for her, not something necessarily happy. She just controlled her emotions to show no sympathy, and no sadness.

'Always keep your guard up' her face is emotionless

As of now, Tauriel was struggling to keep her vision, the Orc had thrown her into a brick wall and it hindered her vision..

Next to her lay a dwarf.

Her dwarf Kili, slain by the cursed Bolg.

Bolg had tossed her into a wall and was close to killing her. It was Kili, Kili who saved her for that split second. By sacrificing himself to save her life. Legolas quickly took over and killed the Orc, but what was done had been done.

She pushed herself towards him. Many tears were streaking down her face.

"I'm sorry Kili." She whispered. "You were a wonderful companion. I love you."

Tauriel just knelt there, a few tears followed. She blamed herself for this. She could've saved him, his wounds were not exceptionally fatal. But she couldn't fail the king again. Or herself. Finally, Tauriel planted a gentle kiss on his hand and lips and struggled to close his eyes. She wanted to cry. Everyone and everything she loved was gone. She lay knelt there, her hand firmly pressed to her stomach. She wanted to bleed out, and join everyone.

"Tauriel."

"Tauriel, are you alright." she felt hands remove hers and ripping of cloth.

It was Legolas. He stood by her and stared at Kili.

"I'm grateful for him. That he sacrificed himself to save someone that wasn't even of his own kin." Legolas murmured.

Thranduil had witnessed it all, and allowed her to bury her loved friend once she stood up. It was even harder now, since Kili had bestowed her with his promise rock and love. She felt heartbroken. This was her fault. Legolas had also taken his leave. It did not bother her now, since her heart was focused on Kili, but it would eventually

Tauriel did not remember herself spiritually riding back to Mirkwood.

The only upside was that most of the orcs were dead. Unfortunately not all. There were possibly a few more spiders still lurking in Mirkwood, and definitely more orcs to come. Thranduil looked alert, and expectant of impending doom. There was surely more evil to come soon.

LINEBREAK

Present day
Tauriel POV

I rest in Valinor. It's been almost 72 years since battle of five armies. But not a single day goes by where I don't miss Kili's smile. Or worry of Legolas and his task. He promised me he'd accompany me when he finished his journey, which was clearly important since Sauron was no joke.

I live in Valimar, the capital of Valinor, with the Vanyar elves with Thranduil and the other Mirkwood elves. Valimar accepted us more welcoming than ever, which is always good. We await the return of Prince Legolas. I've heard from Gandalf and Frodo, who sailed in a couple years ago. So their journey is complete. They have defeated evil.

Of course that doesn't surprise me. I always had extreme confidence for hobbits, and the dwarves, and my kind. It doesn't surprise me a fellowship of such diversity would nonetheless succeed.

I do miss Mirkwood though. I've spent my entire life there. I've asked Thranduil about it but he wasn't so confiding on the idea. Our time is over. But that doesn't mean nomadic elves couldn't prosper. Both places will always be my home. Not that I ever had one.

Legolas is sailing to Valinor this afternoon today. I am very eager and nonetheless, proud of him. He always was the hero. Always there for people. Always having everyone's back. Including mine countless of times. Starting with saving my life almost 400 years ago, when orcs ambushed my family and slayed my parents, I was close too. I screamed at the top of my lungs and I remember extremely vividly the Orc cackled and was about to bring his dark bloody ax down on my helpless body.

Legolas saved me. An arrow pierced clean through the Orcs skull, and in no time, the ambushees were slaughtered brutally. 'Twas a fearful yet always memorable day.

They led me back to Mirkwood, and introduced me to Lord Thranduil. Ever since, I have faithfully served him and the kingdom for many centuries. Well 90% of the time I did. Things started to vary a bit more when and after I turned to help Kili and battle of the five armies.

That was my first time I disobeyed the king and I was not alone. Legolas, out of all people, worried, and accompanied me for my personal journey, which was just starting. In fact the beginning might as well be the end of the battle of five armies. It is a pleasant and indeed interesting journey to remember as I found my own light and path of freedom.

By the way italics indicate the dialogue spoken in Elvish. It will come up later
