Thanks for all the reactions. I wasn't aware so many people loved this story. I know some of you had some tips and dislikes, I'll try taking it in account, but reading is an escape from reality so I think some things are allowed in it. I wouldn't call Naurrehtil a complete Mary-sue. A lot of elves dislike and distrust her for her capabilities. Some fear what she's capable off and certainly because of their expectation of hers. She is far from perfect.

"It is time for you to return." Lanaya noted as she walked up, stopping beside Naurrethil. Following her line of sight as they stood on the cliff overlooking the valley below she couldn't help but smile as she saw the two wonders the young elleth had managed to accomplish.

"They've grown so much and so quick." Naurethil whispered as she turned back to Lanaya with a small smile.

"They're strong and big as they should be, they'll only continue to grown from here on out." Lanaya repeated what she'd told her so many times before already. "I know." Naurethil whispered as she looked up at her two 'children', at least they were considered her children by the Dalish elves.

"you named them well." Lanaya noted beside her as she watched back at the two flying dragons: 'Rovargar meaning Wings of glittering gold.' There wasn't a name more fitting of him, big and as the name said, golden. His body was yellow, almost golden in the sun as the tips of his mane and scales on his stomach and wings were white golden. He was a beautiful animal.

Then there was Rovanar named for his dark body, mane, tips of the scales and stomach a reddish hue. No wonder she had named him wings of fire and night. He was the biggest of the two and the one she rode.

Looking around the place she'd called home for a while now she still couldn't understand that the Dalish elves had managed to live in a hidden magical realm. The fartest point east of the sea of Rhûn. They were hidden from everyone in Arda, not even the other elven realms knew of their existence

"Will my vision come to pass?" Naurrethil asked as a worrying sigh left her body. Every night her dreams had been haunted by the same vision over and over again. Monsters risen from darkness with shadow smoky aura. Others were shadow monsters as if they'd become fish on lands with scales and claws. She didn't know when these monsters had come into existence, if the vision was of the near future or distant one.

Lanaya had encouraged her to ignore it for her time in their realm. Now that she had her 'children' they were intertwined and connected to her, not even the Dalish elves understood it. It had enabled her to get a complete control over her powers now, but with some sacrifices. Since they were feeding of her magical energy some of her powers had weakened in order to strengthen them.

They had fed and grown of her power and the power surrounding the realm. Looking up at them again she wondered how they had grown so huge in only 72 days. She'd seen Smaug the dragon, lazy dragon he was if she considered her active one's. They were about another half of his size bigger. Lanaya had explained it as them growing so quickly because of their magical surroundings. They'd grown from a baby kitten the day they were born to the size they were now.

"Will I be able to control them as well outside of these borders?" Naurethil asked Lanaya beside her in some worry. The last thing she wanted to do was bringing them into Arda and lose control over them. They were meant to help and aid, not bring on destruction and pain.

"Yes. You are their mother, they will protect and listen to you. They are intertwined with you Faë, a bond much like mother and child." Lanaya assured her with a small smile, Naurethil had come so familiar with.

"Suldal will be able to transform in an eagle when you fly them." Lanaya assured her as she turned to the small eagle flying between the two dragons. Lanaya turned back to Naurethil and knew the information she was about to disclose wasn't going to received very well. They'd known Naurethil to be as her name said, a woman of fire and a temperament to match it. But then again, she controlled two huge dragons and a lot of power, they only saw it to be fit that she had a fiery temperament to go along with it.

But in the end, they'd only done the Valar's bidding, as much as she was doing it.

"You need to return to middle earth now. The reason they grew so quickly was not only because of Ancalagons blood in them. Each day here is a month in middle earth. You've been gone for 6 years in middle earth." Lanaya started as she took a step back from the smouldering glare Naurrethil turned to her.

"You mean to tell me that whilst I have been here, six years have passed in Middle Earth?" Naurrethil asked, turning her body so she was facing Lanaya beside her. Her dragons must have felt her anger as they roared above them.

"We only did what illuvatar asked of us, much like you have been doing. The magical barrier prevented them from contacting you whilst you were here, they also kept a lot of visions back." Lanaya told her with sincere regret and apology.

"The dream you have been having however we weren't able to stop. That vision is about to come true in a matter of days. The first ones have already left the caves Gundabad. Mirkwood will be the first to be attacked." Lanaya informed her as Naurrethil turned to her two dragons trying to calm herself down.

She was sure that if she got to Vanilor she would have a word of two with those damn valars. Maybe let them experience a bit of dragon heat.

"I can hardly sweep into Mirkwood and burn the entire thing forest. Sure some trees are already tainted with darkness and sorcery." Naurrethil said with a small shake of her head as she turned back to Lanaya.

"Those shadow trees will soon turn against the elves, they will be woken up much like the elves did with the ents." Lanaya informed her as Naurrethil closed her eyes, she had been here, shielded from everything. Mandos halls what was she about to find in Middle-earth. Would she even recognise the place she'd only been in for less than a year.

Even if she was to use her dragons against the shadow trees, chances were she was going to burn light one's as well.

"Mirkwood has already called for aid from Loth Lorien and Rivendell so don't be surprised to see some familiar faces. Go to the old forest road the battle will take place in the valley between the Anduin and Mirkwood." Lanaya ordered her as Naurrethil nodded her head, looking back at her dragons, she smiled softly as she saw Suldal transformed in an eagle flying between her two dragons.

"Another thing, middle earth has had a lot to handle in the last few years, most elves and men think you're a myth or figment of battle ridden soldiers." Lanaya told her as she balled her fist in anger, her nails digging into the flesh of her palm. What was she going to find there?

"It's time I prove them wrong." Naurrethil said as she called for Rovanar and Rovargar. They landed beside her, the ground trembling as they landed beside her. "Good boys." She smiled at them as their heads leant over them. Chuckling softly she patted both of their noses as Lanaya chuckled beside her. They were monsters in the eyes of many, yet in Naurrethil's hand's they were nothing but puppies.

Rovanar spread his wing out and tilting to the right side so she had better access of climbing on his back. It was becoming more and more of a challenge as he grew, he wasn't able to touch the ground as much as he used to.

Ravargar nudged her side softly with his nose as she couldn't help but chuckle softly as she patted his nose, the warm scaly nose warming the palm of her hand a little.

They weren't the monsters every one saw in them, sure 3 weeks after their birth she'd lost control over them for about two weeks. Lanaya and several of the Dalish elves had told her it was the puberty in Dragons and it was the most crucial time for her to connect and tame them. If she could get a handle of them at the end of it, they were to be loyal to her for eternity.

After they'd nearly killed a child by fire she'd become more convinced and determined to tame them, and she had. as a reward she had 'two children' she had complete control over her powers and she was one with her own Faë.

"How will I get back to Arda?" Naurrethil asked, looking down at Lanaya and the Dalish elves that had joined her side. They seemed a lot smaller from the back of Rovanar.

"Just fly, it will be the same way as you arrived here." Lanaya told her as Naurrethil bowed her head and placed her hand on her chest. "Aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha." She told them, a farewell fitting of how they lived.

Smiling down at the people she'd gotten to know during her apparently six years stay. Each day here was a damn month. Her father would have about torn Arda apart to find her. Well she couldn't really fault him for that but she had been send to save the elves not play daughter to her father.

"Tsette." Naurrethil ordered and she could feel her dragon run forward before leaping in the air, off the cliff they had earlier been flying. Her braided hair flew along her back and black cape in tune with Rovanar's back, it made for a great cover and camouflage, no one would know she was on his back. The stinging and sharp wind made her eyes water so she leant closer to the back of Rovanar, his back providing heat and comfort. "Come on boys." She whispered as she recognised the barrier falling away.

She couldn't help but chuckle at their antics as they tilted to the side and dipped one wing into the sea of Rhûn. Looking between her two dragons, she noticed Suldal transformed in an eagle flying between them, sheltered and protected by both her dragons.

Not wanting to notice, the last thing she needed was for people to start panicking by the side of two huge dragons. They'd always been considered, dangerous, out of control beasts. Always on the bad side of wars. Yet here they were, putty in her end and tame in her hands, fighting for the good.

….

On request of king Thranduil: Glorfindel, Elrohir, Elladan and part of the Rivendell army had made the treacherous journey over the Misty Mountains in order to help their kin of Mirkwood.

Thranduil had to overcome his ego and request for aid when he noticed he and his people wouldn't be able to handle it alone any more. A new breed of spiders, orcs and shadowy creatures had started roaming their forest, nearing the border of their realm. The west part was almost completely destroyed by them and they were close to being powerless. Many elleth grieved and mourned the death of ellon, husbands and sons.

And just as Naurrethil had arrived to play the hero six years ago she'd disappeared just as quickly as she had appeared. The savior of elves in Arda, what a Joke it had become to everyone? She was nowhere to be found. And in the time the need for her was the biggest she'd left them all, leaving them to fend for themselves.

There was a lot of bitterness to the young Elleth that had left them. They didn't know what to think anymore, had she been real or a figment of their imagination.

"Do you think she'll ever come back?" Legolas asked after another gruelling day on the battlefield. Despite them being savages, they still had order and it gave the elves some respite to rest as the orcs needed to regroup and rest themselves. His father, Celeborn, Elladan, Elrohir, Glorfindel and Haldir were all sat around in their tent near the edge of the forest.

"She will." Glorfindel said with certainty and a nod of his head. He'd become restless ever since the disappearance of Naurrethil. He had countless questions one of which why she'd abandoned them in the hour of greatest need. But he needed to believe that she was doing the will of the Valar, wherever she was, it had a purpose and she had a reason to disappear for six years.

" she's a coward." Haldir spat with distaste. The trust between him and the young Elleth had been a tumultuous one from the beginning. He'd admired her after the battle of five armies, having seen her strength and what she was capable off. But now they were all alone again and he hated her even more than in the beginning.

The group continued to argue and fight over the fact that she would return or not. Her brothers, grandfather and Glorfindel were convinced that she was. Haldir, Thranduil and Legolas weren't that certain though.

….

"Oh god." Naurrethil gasped as she flew over the battlefield hidden amongst the clouds far above the battlefield. She urged Rovargar to go and hide somewhere in the misty mountains, hidden from side. Yes she had control over both of them. But she hadn't actually used them in battle, only on practice flights.

And she was sure that Rovanar would be enough for now, if need be she could always touch the connection between Rovargar and herself to call for him. She could see Elves being tramped and killed by orcs and other creatures. Slain by the shadow monsters, as the blades of elves seemed to cut through smoke instead of killing them.

"Yar man mahta rá cálë a fairië na te enviyanta a turyanna the lammava nya oma." She muttered as she felt the burst of magic leave her and a wave went over the fighting elves below her like she'd seen before. It tested the connection between her dragons and her lessened strength. Their connection faded the smallest bit when she magic of her own.

Down on the ground however the elves were stunned and didn't know what to think. There was only one moment, two at best that all of them remembered having felt the wave of energy going through the field of battle. Despite fighting their foes, their eyes moved around hoping to catch a glimpse of the woman they knew held great power. But she was nowhere to be seen so they continued fighting, thinking it was just their crazy minds playing a trick on them.

Back in the clouds she noticed she couldn't order Rovanar to fire as both enemy and elves were in between each other fighting.

Because of the connection and her dragons feeding of her magic. Her own magic could only be used in a certain capacity, so she wouldn't be able to shield them if the dragons fired on the field.

She could still heal and give elves a quick dead. It was part of her healing power, not her destructive powers. She could only hope that her chant to protect the elves amongst the orcs from dragon fire but she wasn't about to test that theory just yet.

She noticed a group of seven elves standing in a circle, fighting back to back with orcs. Squinting her eyes she noticed it to be her brothers, grandfather, haldir, Legolas, thranduil and glorfindel. Elves were nowhere around them, only orcs, spiders and shadow figure slowly starting to approach them as well. Seemed it was time to announce her return, and this time with a dragon she'd acquired.

She urged Rovanar through their connection to fly in from above the forest, that way he'd breath towards the enemy and not her kin.

"Is she here?" Elladan asked having felt the burst of rejuvenating energy go through the battle field only his lost sister was capable of doing such a thing. But nowhere around the battlefield could he see his sister.

"Keep fighting Elladan. She's left us." Haldir ordered. But everyone friend and foe stopped fighting when they hear the deafening roar of a dragon. Turning their heads in the direction of Mirkwood, where the noise had come from.

"Is that?" Thranduil asked in fear, not many thing scared him. But dragons did, his entire face was destroyed by dragon fire, he knew what the monsters could do and if their enemy had acquired dragons as well now they might as well give up right now.

And then they saw it a mere speck leaving the clouds, but it got bigger and bigger as it approached them. It was about half a bigger size than Smaug had been.

"We may as well just stop fighting." Legolas said in defeat as he eyed the enourmous dragon flying over them. They all dropped to the ground when they noticed the dragon opening its jaw to spit fire.

Naurrethil ordered Rovanar to breath fire just beyond her family so that she would have a patch to land and get them out of there. The stench of burning Orcs filled the air as they were incinerated by Rovanar's fire. She noticed both elves and the enemy bouncing when Rovanar landed with a thud. He walked over her family, shielding them with his body as he fired upon the enemy. "Climb on." She screamed over the roar and sound of her dragon breathing fire, rovarnar's body moving with each breath he took.

It couldn't be, they thought as they heard the familiar voice they hadn't heard for Six years. They all walked from underneath the cover the dragon gave them to look up and notice the Elleth they hadn't seen for six years sitting on the back of the dragon.

Her hand extended towards them as his wing stretched, creating a small ladder for them to climb on.

"Come on he can't stay here much longer and protect you." She urged them as she saw the disbelieving expressions on their faces.

Elladan was the first to regain his sense as he shook his head and started climbing on the black reddish dragon, accepting his sister's hand when he was in reach. Together they pulled on the rest of them, one by one they got on his back, one holding on to the other.

"Hold on." She yelled over her shoulder as she ordered: "tsette." Rovanar walked three paces before jumping into the air and flying over the battlefield. "Narë" she ordered as Rovanar continued to fire, fire over the encampment of the enemy.

"Call back your men I can't let Rovanar fire with them running through the orcs and I don't know if my powers can protect them anymore." She ordered the man sitting behind her as the wind cut their skin.

"How?" They asked in unison and utter astonishment.

"I'll explain everything later, now pull back your men. Tell them to burn the shadow trees before they become shadow ents. I'll let my other dragon burn the edges." She told them as she landed her dragon near the border of the forest where only elves could be found.

"Other dragon?" They gulped at the thought of two such a beast.

"Go." She ordered them as she searched for Rovargar's connection so he would start burning the shadowtrees from the outside in.

They glided down Rovanar's wing before she took back to the air, noticing the retreating elves as she chanted the reinvigorating chant again. She continued with destroying the Orc's camp so no other orcs could add to the already messy battlefield. On her way to Mirkwood, she'd already destroyed a pack of orcs going to join the already present one's here.

When their camp was destroyed she flew towards Mirkwood, a line of defence had been made to keep the orcs away from the forest. They would have to kill them, she wouldn't use the fire so close to them, so she burned the one's with a safe enough distance from them.

It took her awhile before all of them were destroyed and burning, the stench of burning flesh and orcs filled the air. Black smoke rose up from the battlefield as the orc bodies in armour burned to noting. Through her connection she felt Rovargar nearing from above the forest and then she saw him. His golden scales glittering against the fire of his brother as the two dragons destroyed the orcs.

On the ground the elves could only look up in astonishment and disbelief as two dragons roamed the sky. For once not against them, but for them, destroying their enemies. The lost princess of fire riding one of them, controlling them. Finally after weeks, months of fighting and battling, they had a break. It barely registered that they were in for a small break.

"Where did she get two bloody dragons from?" Haldir asked as he watched the black red dragon he'd flown along with to safety and the new cream golden one destroy their foes.

"I'm sure there is an explanation for it all." Glorfindel said as he watched Naurrethil soaring through the sky on her dragon as if she'd never done anything else. How she was in control of those beasts was beyond him, but he'd like to know. Reaching out towards her faë he noticed the intersecting lines with her dragons, but she was still the same person he knew to be his soulmate. It surprised him as the calmness settled back into him now that she was near.

He was so focussed on her faë, one that had been a chaotic one at last he'd seen it, now it was just a current of a calm stream that he didn't noticed the two dragons landing ahead of them.

All elves could only look in amazement as an normal sized eagle touched the ground and transformed into Suldal her horse. "How?" Thranduil asked with a small shake of his head as they all slowly approached the dragons as Naurrethil climbed of the black one's back.

"Good boys." They heard her say as she patted both their noses as if they were horses to her as their noses touched her from either side of her. "big children." She chuckled as they laid their heads on the ground, a puff of smoke leaving their nostrils as Naurrethil patted their noses one last time before walking up to the apprehensive elves.

"They won't hurt you." She assured them in a calming voice. "They're just big babies really." She smiled, looking back at them over her shoulder. "How?" Elladan asked as he walked up to his sister before pulling her in his arms. "There is a lot to explain." She told them as Elrohir pulled her in his arms.

"Where did you get them?" Glorfindel asked as he approached her with Celeborn, Haldir, Legolas and Thranduil.

"I was urged to go to the farthest point east of the sea of Rhûn. I didn't know what I would find there." She told them with a small shake of her head. "The Dalish elves reside there." She told them as she heard a small gasp from the elves she'd saved near her and beyond them as muttering quickly spread.

"They live in a hidden realm, no one can enter it, unless invited. I walked into a lava lake with them for a night and I walked out of the fire with two dragons on my shoulders. They were as small as kittens when they were born, they are my children." She told them, looking back at them with a motherly affection.

"they're dragons." Haldir pointed out. "I know that but during their birth they intertwined their faë's with mine, they're a part of me as much as your children are connected with your faë's." Naurrethil explained in a soft tone. "Will you care for the wounded?" Legolas asked the elleth standing in front of them. He may not be a big fan of hers at the moment having left all of them for six years. But she was still able to heal people and their people needed to be cared for.

The six years she'd spend with the Dalish elves had taught her a lot, one of which was how to control her gifts and to use them as effectively as possible. No wonder it had drained her completely the previous two times. She'd learned to channel it in several phases not all at one and so many people at once.

"Can't you heal them all at once." Legolas asked her as they followed after her as she walked up to the sick. "It doesn't work like that." She told them as she crouched down beside one of the most injured one's. The healer opposite of her gave her an uncertain look as she put her hand on the ellon's head. Closing her eyes, she imagined the cuts and injuries healing and sealing itself closed. Opening her eyes she noticed the ellon opening his eyes as well and she gave him a small comforting smile before getting up and moving on to the next one. She started working alongside the healers, she didn't all heal them like she had done to the first one. The one's that were to far away she gave a peaceful passing to Mandos halls. Where they'd start the process of rebirth in Valinor.

The one's who weren't to injured she healed in a normal way alongside the other healers. But mostly she was given the severe injured just like the first one. By the time she was done strands of hair had come undone from her flying braid as she called it. Blood smears on her cheeks and clothes.

"Hannon le." The head healer thanked her as she put her hand on her heart. "No trouble." She said in a soft calming tone. "hiril nin?" Someone called behind her and she turned around to see a silvery haired ellon, his hands wringing together. "Your dragons?" he started and she immediately felt for their connection, but she couldn't detect anything wrong with them.

"What of them?" she asked, turning around and walking up to him. "They're growling if anyone comes near them. They're scaring the other elves." He pointed out as she walked back towards her dragons, hoping to see what the problem was.

"What is it boys?" she asked, walking up to them as they immediately lifted their heads, bowing them at the neck so their noses were hovering over her head. "what's going on?" she asked them, her head tilted to the side as she looked up at them.

Reaching through their connection she recognised the problem. They'd only been surrounded by the Dalish elves not any other sort, yes, she was there mother and she had golden hair. But despite what everyone may think, these creatures were intelligent. They felt the distrust and fear of the elves around them. "It's alright." She assured them with a pat on the nose.

"They're huge." She heard Elladan say behind her as she turned to look at him over her shoulder. "they sure are." Naurrethil chuckled. "Come." She encouraged him, calling him over. "They won't do anything." She assured him with a small chuckle when she saw the uncertain look in his eyes.

"Elladan meet Rovanar and Rovargar." Naurrethil smiled as the sniffed him, a little smoke leaving their nostrils. "Muinthel?" he called in distress as she rolled her eyes. "they like you." She told him as she felt their discomfort dissipating slightly.

"How can you tell?" he asked her with a small shriek as Rovargar nudged his head with his nose.

"our connection, how else do you think I'm in full control of him." Naurrethil reminded him "right." He noted with a small nod of his head. "So you can basically fly them anywhere?" he asked her. "yes indeed." She confirmed with a small smile.

"What happened in the last six years?" Naurrethil finally asked with an uncertain tone. Did she even want to know what had happened in those six years. She'd see the glares from the elves, the distrust of them. It would take awhile for all of them to trust and believe in her again.

So that was the chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think of it below. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new twists. If you want to know what they look like, there's a link to what the dragons and Naurrethil's new look is.
