Type: Gen.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do own this original character but I do not own Middle Earth or Tolkien’s characters, nor do I profit from using them.
Warnings: None
Characters: Oropher, Thranduil, Legolas, Oropher’s wife, Thranduil’s wife, Legolas, Original female character, Bellothia
Archive: Ao3, OEAM, Alex’s Story Book
Author’s Note: Jenny wanted a story about Oropher and Cook, so I decided to give her a month’s worth of them.
Spoilers: For the stories of Oropher and Thranduil, yes.
Summary: Every day, I will tell a little of the story of Bellothia, cook for the house of Oropher.
Part One
Bellothia stood with Oropher at the practice field, watching Thranduil train with the other young elves of Doriath. Oropher, Gwaelas, and Thranduil had come to Doriath only a few months before. She had befriended them because it turned out that Oropher was a distant kinsman of both her and King Thingol. She also was quite lonely since her mother had left the city and disappeared in the forest after her father had died in a hunting accident.
She had volunteered to help Gwaelas in their new home. She knew quite a bit about cooking since her own mother had been one of the best cooks in all Doriath, cooking often for the king and his family as well as their own friends and neighbors. Bell had been happy to help and she’d learned much as her mother’s assistant.
It had been only a few weeks until she’d moved into the family home as well, her room a nice big one off the kitchen. They didn't consider her a servant and she certainly never felt like one as she began to take care of her new family, a family that she loved already.
“So, how do you think he is doing?” Oropher asked her.
“He is strong and very skilled for one so young. He can hold his own against the older elves, ones who have reached adulthood already.”
“He will need his skills and wits. One day we will leave here and have a kingdom of our own, a kingdom that he will rule when I weary of it. Will you come with us when we go?”
Bell nodded, knowing she would never leave this family, not as long they wanted her with them. She had found her home with them, though Doriath was the only other home she’d known.
