Laeriel stared for a momment at the figure that stood before her. Lómódë towered over the small faery as a mountain to a foothill. Yet, Laeriel stood, stern and brave as ever, staring into the eyes of Lómódë. "How dare you order Me around," she said. "You are not above me, I walked this earth before you were a glint in your mother's eye. I am not leaving until I speak with Legolas." Lómódë was silent. Legolas perked up at the mention of his name, no doubt wondering how on earth this strange girl could know who he was.
Laeriel brushed passed the still stunned Lómódë and walked up to Legolas. "I can see by the look in your eye that you are wondering who, and what, I am," Laeriel said to him. "As you probably first suspected, I am indeed a faery," she said with a small bow, "The very same being that exists in the legends your people used to tell their children."
Laeriel looked at the bow Legolas heald in his hand. She frowned slightly. Quietly she said, "Please, Legolas, put away your weapons, I an unarmed," She looked up at him through her thick, black lashes. "You must hear what I have to say. I understand your alarm, so I will allow you to ask me one question before I tell you why I've come," She said. She turned around, her back towards Legolas. "Ask me anything you like," She turned back around to face him, "Be warned, though, what you hear might suprise you. If you ask me how I can be real, how faeries exist, you will learn that a part of history has been lost, even to a people such as your's. The history of elves is not exactly as you believe it to be."

Outraged yet at the same time amused by the audacity of the child, and yes, in comparison to her she was but a child, Faeirex began to laugh, a low throaty chuckle. It seemed there were things that needed to be said.
"Legolas, the girl and I need to talk. There are things she does not understand yet, and she needs to know them. You agreed to respect my wishes not to tell you more about myself, so I have to ask you to leave us alone again."
Despite the formal, civilised tone of her voice, there was no mistaking the order implicit in her words. With a long, hard look at her, Legolas turned and strode off into the distance.

The faery made a move to follow him. Faeirex gave an almost imperceptible movement with her hand, tightening her will. She froze the air around the little creature, holding her immobile.
"I know that part of history has been lost, girl, and part of that history is my own. It will stay that way. I know of the faeries, and nothing you have to say can surprise me.
Look beyond what your eyes tell you. Elves were the first beings to walk this earth, and I am one of the first of those Elves. You see a part of my power now for yourself. Even if you do not know my name, be sure the faery king does. I am thankful that Cellius has followed his pledge to keep silent about me, but now he has erred. If he knew that I was involved, he would never have sent you here.
Go home, and tell him that Faeirex knows of the danger, and Faeirex will deal with it as she sees fit. The time of faeries and of elves is over, but be sure of one thing, my time is just beginning."
She released the air holding her captive immobile. How would the faery react? Faeirex couldn't be sure. It mattered little. However the girl responded, she would be thwarted. The she-elf had control over the oldest of magics, and she would use those ancient powers to ensure that the faery returned home, her message undelivered.
