The three men took out their swords and let out a war cry. Erugenel made a face and jumped up.
“All right, lets get this done and over with.” She said.
OOC: You want to write it out lol?

OOC: This is going to be a lazy post lol.
There was one for each of them. Eruedraith had Erk, Miriel Orthol and Garth tried to get them all but concentrated mostly on Erugenel. The small battle went on for not very long. The elves were most definitely superior to the three men. Erk was dead, and Orthol, it was Garth who, even though was bleeding horribly kept it up.
It was not until Erugenel decided she had truly had enough did he fall to his knees. She had cut everything below off and he fell over cursing.
“It does not matter.” Garth told her as she and the other two hovered over him. “You will never have friends because every one hates you.” He spat at Erugenel. “And you will never know love because you fear it.” He laughed.
“Strange, you pretend to know me so well Garth. And yet you never expected to loose like this.” He frowned at her. And waited for her sword to come down on him.

OOC: Again, sorry for the absence, I'm becoming repetitive Mininirime, who had taken a bathroom break, something even elves had to do some time, came back to a surprise. The room was almost empty of people and Erugenel, and two other elves stood in the mids of a small battlefield, a very small battlefield, on the floor were three men, two dead, and one almost. Mininirime stepped in just in time to hear Garth's last words:"It does not matter. You will never have friends because every one hates you. And you will never know love because you fear it." She walked over to the small group and said, while smiling, with her pearl white teeth shining: "If she has no friends and everyone hates her, that why would she get help in fight, she could have solved by herself? That is an act of friendship."

Erugenel looked at her in surprise Garth growling angrily at her.
“Do not try to prove me wrong.” He barked. Mini laughed.
“It looks like you are in no position to make any threats.” She said. Garth growled again but looked up at Erugenel.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” He asked now thinking her a fool. But she was not stupid; she knew he wanted to die now with no legs to carry him around.
“I am not going to kill you Garth.” Erugenel told him. He looked up at her surprised as did most of the others. “No, for now I am going to be much more cruel for death would only be an early release for you. You are going to get your just rewards for the evil you have done.”
“So what?” He said. “I have had worst than this.” The next thing he knew his hands were gone and Erugenel shook her head.
“You are going to wonder Middle Earth, and wherever you go people will look at you with disgust. Your ears are for you to hear them, and your eyes are to see the look in their own with you struggling in them. And they will all know who you are and will not help you.” She told him. Garth looked up at her in absolute horror. The first time in his life, he was truly being punished.
Just as they finished two soldiers came up and looked around shock written all over their faces.
“What in the world is going on in here?”
“What is it?” Legolas came up and looked around his brow raised with surprise. Mini and Miriel looked at Erugenel with some expectancy but she was still glaring at Garth.
“You want to kill me.” He laughed. “You could too, why don’t you just do it and forget the nonsense you mentioned before.” But Erugenel sheathed her sword and raised her chin stubbornly.
“Why don’t I just throw you out over the edge and see if your back breaks too?” She asked. He shut up then and she turned freezing in place when she saw the new comers. She looked at the three next to her and back at the guards and him. Her stern face grew pale and she frowned. “Well, this was un-expected.” She breathed.

"Unexpected and unwanted, I'll warrant" Mininirime muttered under her breath.
Erugenel seemed to be frozen in her stand, unable to move. Mininirime stepped forward.
"These three men came in to make trouble for Lady Erugenel. To ensure the safety of all the others visitors, we asked those three to join us outside, but they refused, Prince Legolas, so we had no choice but to bring the other visitors outside. I belief that this one," she pointed at Garth, "has committed some crimes, of which Lady Erugenel knows more. This seemed like a fair punishment to her." Mininirime saw Legolas's face cloud, so she quickly added: "And to me as well."
Legolas considered things for a moment, when he turned to Erugenel. "What were his crimes? Is he punished enough, or should I ask for a cell to be cleared?"

Erugenel was able to regain control enough to make her reply. “A cell I fear would not do justice.” She told him her voice low. Of course he would not remember her she thought warily. It had been long and she had not existed to him back then any way.
“What would be justice then?” He asked.
“My Lord I was born in Mirkwood raised in Mirkwood and I understand the kindness of the elves here and I am bound by such mercy as well. But a cell where this man could hide would be too much to ask of me. Justice would be to put him on display where people can remember and hate him and he can hear them.” They could hear the emotion in her voice though she did everything she could to control it.
“My Lady what has he done?” Erugenel closed her eyes fighting back memories and put her hands up to her head.
“Nothing!” Garth barked angrily and in panic. Erugenel turned on him and began to answer in a low dangerous voice.
“He has killed children- just to watch them suffer, he would make their families watch as he killed them one by one. Just to watch. He has tried to assassinate King Aragorn and Queen Arwen more than once. Moria was in danger for six months because he had found a way to cause cave ins. Lady Galadriel and Lord Elrond even wants him punished for more reasons I am not allowed to say.
“He has shown evil creatures ways into places such as Mirkwood. Not until after he began to hate me though.” She added thoughtfully. “Because he knew this place was my love and my home. He has turned my friends against me, what friends I actually had. And he has ruined the lives of good people.” She turned back to Legolas tears swarming her eyes but she would not let them go. He had understood such things before, she prayed he still did. “If you tell me he deserves some kind of pity then you and Mirkwood are not what I had thought.” And loved.. “And I will leave.” She knew him he realized, now who was she he wondered as all that she had said sunk in?

Erugenel raised her hand, to move a strayed strand of hair from he face, and softly shaked her head, to keep her vision clear.
A memory flashed into Legolas' mind. It was years ago, hundreds of years, thousands of years. "He did know her!" He thought, "And had known her!" Known and loved her, until she suddenly left as if never to return. Long had he wondered what had happened, why she had gone, and whether it was fault. He was young back then, and didn't know how to behave around the young female elf who always seemed to speak her mind about everything, except about him. Around him he was different. He had felt like she didn't like him for some reason, and that hurt.
And now, now she was back, and he didn't even know about it. He tried not to show the sudden chaos in his mind as he stood there, contemplating his feelings, and what he had just heard.
"We elves of Mirkwood are indeed kind, my Lady, and show mercy to those who deserve it. But if what you say is true, and there is no lie in your eyes, this man does not deserve our pity, nor our mercy. We will cast him out of our lands. And we will send posters with his description and his crimes to every village and kingdom within our circle and ask them to do the same. This man will never be able to be among man, elves, dwarfs, hobbits, or other species again." He raised his head and let his eyes meet Erugenel's.
"I hope this punishment suffices for you?"
OOC: I hope this is ok, I don't want to ruin your plans for Erugenel and Legolas, so if you had something else in mind, just delete it.

Erugenel could only stand to hold the gaze for so long before her heart grew unsteady and she had to look away. She closed her eyes and nodded.
"Thank you your highness." She said quietly and wrapped her arms around her as if to protect herself. Not missing a beat the soldiers who were with Legolas took the man away knowing exactly what they were to do. Garth shouted angrily screaming threats, Erugenel closed her eyes still holding herself and ignored them. When she opened them again the two that were dead were gone as well.
"Well." Mini said feeling the tension in the air. "It will probably be appreciated if we invited the party back in." As if waking from a trance Erugenel let herself go and nodded her head.
"Yes. Good idea."

Mininirime walked outside, and a few minutes later she returned with the rest of the party. She immediately walked up to the bar and ordered a glass of sweat wine. She took it with her and walked back up to Erugenel. She put the glass down on the table and forced Erugenel into a chair. She shoved the glass to her.
"You look like you need it." She said with a smile.
For a few moments there was an awkward tension in the bar, but one after another the other elves returned to what they were doing before the disturbance, some dancing, others just eating, drinking and talking. Every once in a while someone would look at the group round the table with a little wonder in their gaze. They were joined by Legolas, who was a little reluctant to leave. Tension seemed to build in their mids.

Erugenel drank gratefuly, it calmed her nerves some but with him hovering where he was she felt her heart beating like a wild horse. Why would he not leave? She wondered, there were plenty of other tables to sit at. She looked between Mini and Miriel, maybe it was because of them she decided taking another cautious sip. Two beautiful maidens, one he knew, the other- well she did not know.
"How long are you planning to stay in Mirkwood?" Miriel asked, Erugenel looked up and put down her glass that she had been drinking religiously. She looked down at it the liquid swirling in her glass brought back memories of parties, childish games. Of course he would not remember any of them she thought silently. She shrugged.
"I have not decided." She said. She thought she could do it, face him, be in the same place as him. She came to prove to herself she could do it, she was proving herself very very wrong. "I missed home, it has been a long time since I last walked in the woods." She said with a sigh. "And I have friends here, some more like family." She took her glass again finishing off what was left and played with the empty glass. "I wanted to see them again, see how it felt, wonder the woods like I used to. And if it felt right I want to stay longer than just a mere visit."

A sign of relieve and happines crossed Legolas' face for a moment, but it was gone before Erugenel noticed it.
"We would love to have you here for a long time?" Mininrime laughed. "I've only met you today, and already you've brought more adventure then I've seen here in days."

Erugenel laughed. "One of the reasons why I can never stay in one place is because people get tired of such adventure." She put on a mock smirk and crossed her arms. "Some cannot handle the pressure of having a blade in their hands at all times." Her smirk turned into a soft smile as she thought about staying but it turned worried when she thought of him. She wondered if she could really do it? She wished her glass was still full. "We shall see about me staying."
