Hey! I am back with a new LOTR story! This takes place when Aragorn learned of his true identity.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own this wonderful world of Tolkien.
Legolas rode as fast as the wind, wanting to get to Rivendell as fast as possible. The news the messenger had said was disturbing, Lord Elrond, the adopted father of Estel, has told his human son of his identity.
Estel, beloved son of the Lord of Rivendell and brother to the twins Elladan and Elrohir, has just learned that his true name is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, one of the Dunedain and is heir to the throne of Gondor.
According to the messenger, Estel has completely broken down and is refusing to talk to anyone, not even to Elrond or the Twins. After hearing this news, Legolas Greenleaf, son of King Thranduil, Prince of Mirkwood, but most importingly, Estel's best friend and brother in all but blood, wasted no second and went immediately to Rivendell on his faithfull white mare, Snowflake.
Finally, after a few days, the Last Homely House came into view and Legolas urged Snowflake to run a little faster. At long last, the blonde Elf rode through the gates and went off his exhausted horse.
Legolas was soon greeted by one of the stable Elves. The Elven Prince gave the reins to the the other Elf and said to take good care of Snowflake. The Elf nodded and took the white mare to the stables.
Legolas walked up the stairs to the great hall of Rivendell and was soon greeted by Lord Elrond, the older Elf took Legolas' hand into his own and looked at the Prince with grateful eyes.
'Hannon Le, young Prince, for coming so swiftly' Elrond said, and suddenly took the startled Legolas into his arms, hugging the blonde archer for all he was worth. Legolas relaxed after a few moments and hugged the Elven lord back, rubbing Elrond's back to offer comfort. ''Tis of no concern, my Lord. Estel is my brother in all but blood and I will do anything for him' Legolas whispered, slowly letting go of Elrond. The dark-haired Elf put his hands on Legolas' shoulders.
'We have tried anything to help Estel bear this news, but he will not talk to me, not even to the Twins. Estel does not even acknowledge that we are talking to him, he has shut himself off to the rest of us' Elrond took a deep breath and continued with pleading eyes. 'You are our last hope, Legolas. I know the bond between you and my son is very deep and precious. Will you please help him, Legolas? I do not know what else to do'
The young Prince smiled and also put his hand on the other Elf's shoulder. 'Just like I said, my Lord. I will do anything to help him'
Elrond also smiled. 'Hannon Le, Legolas. Estel is in his room' He said. Legolas nodded and went upstairs to Estel's room.
