*Deep in the heart of the Woods of Lorien was hidden a white, shiny castle. This was the Castle of the Elvens, the residence where the kings and queens of Lorien had resided for centuries. The castle were lying on top of a green hill, surrounded by water, that came from a waterfall nearby. To enter the castle, you had to cross a wooden bridge and pass the Elven guards that was standing on each side of the door.
Most humans did not notice this castle, because every time a human came into the woods of Lorien, a mist surrounded the castle, as to hide it to intruders....*

*King Orduag was pacing the marble floors of Lorien. The Elvens army had been away for long now. Too long. And he had searched the school Leetah was supposed to stay at, without finding her... Why didn't the stupid girl see the honor she could acchieve by becoming his second wife?*

*Queen Tearbird was sitting on her throne, watching her husband in silence with tearfilled eyes. She knew very well that her husband was straing. Too many times had she seen him coming out of another woman's bedroom. But this time... this time he had gone too far. Leetah was only a child. A tough girl, she had to admit, but still a child. It was Tearbird who had warned Leetah about her husband's plans, and Leetah had fled to her brother in the battlefield.
Now both Tearbirds friends were away from the court, and she was left alone with a furious husband that wanted her to die so he could marry Leetah, and with Elven maids that were laughing at her behind her back. Tearbird straightened her back, trying to put on a worthy face, while her heart silently bled.*

*King Orduag turned annoyed. No sight of the Army yet. And not of the Elven Maid either..... He looked at his wife. Now she was sitting there and looking at him with those sad, blue eyes again. As if she knew about his desire for Leetah. He bristled.*
"DON'T SIT THERE AND LOOK SO PITIFUL, WOMAN!!" *he yelled and slapped her in the face.* "I can't understand why my parents couldn't get me a wife with better mood!!!"

*Queen Tearbird curled up her body on the throne, trying to protect herself from the beating by covering her face with her arms. She had experienced this too many times in the length of their marriage. Every time her husband lusted for a girl that didn't want him, he took it out on her. She whimpered in pain, and tears streamed down her face. She was alone in this hostile country. Nobody would come to her rescue...*

*Haldir and his entire Elven army entered the castle. When Haldir saw what was happening at the throne, he quickly ran over and stopped the fighting. The Queen ran crying out of the castle. And Haldir held the king back by giving him the report about the war. When the King had heard enough he ran after his queen, trying to get her back before she reached the human world. Haldir stared after them.*
"Home, sweet home...." *He thought ironically.*

****************NEW DAY*******************
*Queen Tearbird entered her castle, followed by Prince Tamás Sylvanus of Delicia. She found him a nice bedroom and made sure he had all the food and drink a man could want. She also found some new, clean clothes for him, in case he wanted to have a bath and change clothes.*
"Please enjoy your stay here and make yourself at home." *she said and looked up at him, blushing.* "Explore your surroundings. You are welcome to stay for as long as you like. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"You've done more than enough, your Majesty," *he said.* "Thank you. I can only hope that someday I may be worthy to repay your kindness."

*Queen Tearbird smiled and bowed her head graciously.*
"Well, then I will leave you for a while. I am sure you want to freshen up a bit, have something to eat and maybe rest for a while. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. I am always here in the castle or nearby."

"I will. Thank you," *he said, nodding to her before he turned his back to her and pulled off his shirt, preparing to change his clothes. Perhaps a bath was in order.
Pink, freshly-healed scars stood out against the smooth skin of his back--signs of a thorough and brutal beating.*

*Queen Tearbird gasped when she saw his wounds. Her eyes were filled with tears of compassion. She knew how it felt to be beated.*
"Oh, Tamás!" *She exclaimed* "How have you come to be so cruelly mistreated? Here, let me take care of those for you!"
*She found a bottle in her dress pocket, and started pouring the content out on his back. Then she carefully rubbed the content over all over his back, caressing his soft skin in the process.*

*Tamás shuddered a little. The liquid was cold, to begin with, and the scars still ached and twinged.*
"In my travels...there was a woman who had been unfaithful to her husband, and dared to find happiness with her lover, and she was pregnant with his bastard child. Her husband had already killed her lover, as was his right, and was threatening to beat her within an inch of her life, most certainly to kill the child she carried. The local law would allow an innocent to bear her punishment if any so chose. So did I. She may at least have the memory of her love in the child she will bear."

*Queen Tearbird smiled warmly and caressed the soft skin on his back.*
"You have a noble heart, Prince Tamás." *she replied gently.* "Human laws are cruel indeed. I know, because I am part human. That is why my ears are not pointy, like the other elvens. I hope the poor mother will have a happy future with her child."
*She let a finger glide gently across the scars.*
"If you are not better tomorrow, I will send for my healer, Leetah. There are no wounds she is incapable of curing. But this evening, I will try to cure you myself...."
*She blushed and looked deeply into his eyes....*

"Thank you, your Majesty," *he said, smiling at her.* "You are a woman of many talents, and capable beyond the requirements of your position."

*Queen Tearbird blushed and smiled again.*
"Shouldn't we drop the Titles now?" *she smiled shyly.* "It is very heavy to say Prince this and Queen that. Just call me Tearbird. I have so very few friends at this court..."
*Her eyes filled with tears by the thought of her unhappy marriage, and she looked down at the bruises on her wrists.*
