Battles were long, they were exhausting but most of all, they were heartbreaking for more than one reason. Whether the battle was about land, territory, a race's home or whether it was about power and greed, it all ended the same; with loss on either side. And that was that. If you were to fight on either side then you were sure to lose a friend, a family member, a lover... You were sure to end up with a broken heart. And the Battle of the Five Armies had done just that. Men had lost men, dwarves had lost their own and the elves had suffered losses of their own. Nothing would be the same, each of them knew that, even before the battle had commenced, they all knew. This battle would change their fates, change their lives. And maybe not for the better.

Tauriel herself had suffered, both emotionally and physically. Yes, she had been hurt, a stain of blood red on her side was proof of that, the cuts on her cheeks and arms were battle scars she would hold for the rest of her life. Her bow was broken, daggers blunt from the orcs she had slain and her cloth was ripped, dirtied and ruined. Not that the she-elf cared in that moment. Nothing mattered to her in that moment except getting home and focusing on her daggers once more. They needed to be sharpened, her bow needed to be fixed and she needed medical attention as soon as she could muster it. But none of that would help the fact that she felt defeated, completely and utterly defeated.

The day was a peaceful one in Mirkwood. Spending it fully with her bethrowed Legolas she retired to her chambers to get some rest.  She was sleeping soundly when the familiar dreams started to haunt her night once again. She thought she had overcome those dreams and spells that used to haunt her so many years ago. Why would they haunt her now? An orc had come to her cell and dragged her out throwing her to the floor, "She elf wants to play...Doesn't she.."he said taunting her as she cringed as she felt it pull her hair and take its knife and cut her cheek.  She looked away as she couldn't stop it.  

The head of the dugeons came over and kicked the orc to the side, "She is not to be touched.  We need her alive...and untouched. I thought you understood such matters. "He said as he cut off the orc's head. Anyamane looked away as it happened and she saw him smirk coming to her. "Lord Sauron, requires you to pay him another visit ...Elf"she was scared this timme when she flet herself forcefully brought up. 

She twisted and turned as she looked around as she was brought to a chamber.."She-elf...You have been not such the nice visitor to my halls when you have stayed here. I believe your time has come to pass into the next life... Your usefullness has passed...Dispose of her...Painfully ..."Anyamane's eyes opened as she was dragged to the dungeons and tortured for hours as she started to sweat in her bed and when the sword was entered into her body she woke with a scream and looked around seeing that she was in her room in Mirkwood ...

Late at Night, Anya walked out of her room and started to venture torwards the walls of the city. She loved seeing the forest at night from one of the highest trees in the forest. Her favorite.  Elandiurl ….she made her way through the corridors through the winery and almost to the enterance of the city…she heard stop …  She turned and saw her A person approaching “Identify yourself?”she said turning to the approaching party.…

While she was here she and Legolas....they stayed together like two magnetic forces together. Best Friends since they were elfings. This time, she was visiting Mirkwood for an entire moon cycle just because she hadn’t visited in a couple decades.  She thought it only be fair. And since it was late. Nobody would leave her to have a guard with her or even an person accompany her because she knew fair well that she could defend herself.  But her godfather thranduil didn’t see it that way and that she was to have an escort with her should she find the need to venture into the city and explore.  ”Ussta ssiggrin dos orn’la tlu nindol klew’kin del lil “she said grinning turning around to look at her friend.  ”Usstan uil usstan naut”
