Description
A fanfic of Tauriel's childhood, how she grew up, the mystery behind her parents, her relationship with Legolas, and a more detailed background for the character than was ever written by Peter Jackson. Tauriel is training to become Captain of the Guard, her one opportunity to be anything more than the daughter of a murderer. Because at the moment, that's all that she is. Her father, Tarion, murdered 16 elves before he was caught attempting to assassinate the King, and beheaded. One of his victims was his own wife, Tauriel's mother, leaving her an orphan, viewed by most as a murderer, despite the fact that she has never killed anyone. DISCLAIMER: Tauriel, Legolas, Thranduil, Elrond, and any others mentioned in Lord of The Rings do not belong to me! They belong to JRR Tolkien and/or Peter Jackson. I have created some of my own characters such as Tarion and Dilemas, but any also mentioned in LOTR or the Hobbit books/movies do not belong to me!
