Description:
The idea to have Legolas become Captain Obvious came from somewhere, besides the scriptwriters heads. This is the tale of how Legolas really did become Captain Obvious. With out further ado, Half a League Parodies and EvilWriter Drama presents:
HOW IT HAPPENED
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Legolas is in Rivendell, the Fellowship has been formed, and his fiancee Celebros is there with him...
"Legolas, please! Let me go with you! I beg thee to let me go with you!" Celebros pleaded. Her beautiful green eyes pleading with him earnestly.
"Celebros, darling, mel nin, you know I have no say in the matter! Lord Elrond formed the Fellowship, not I," he said gently resting his hands on her shoulders. "Besides, I fear that something shall happen to you if you do go."
"Yes, something may happen to me, something shall happen to everyone that goes on this mission. It does not mean that the something is bad! You know this! I know you do not want me to go, but I am quite skilled with bow and with sword, you know this. I can defend myself! Please, ask Lord Elrond if he will permit me to go. That is all I ask of you," she replied. The begging look in her eyes was quite persuasive, but when combined with her eloquent speaking, it was deadly.
Legolas mustered his will against the subtle attack and said, "No my love. I cannot in good conscious go to Lord Elrond and ask him to send my fiancee with me on a dangerous quest! That would be murder! It is suicide for me to go!"
Celebros sighed and hung her blonde head slightly. "Very well. I shall bother you no more about it."
She hugged him and he hugged her, the matter seemed resolved. She was a strong willed elfmaid, but when force was applied, she would yield. For that he was grateful.
Suddenly, a messenger came up and Legolas was called away to see Aragorn and Gandalf. Celebros watched him walk away, and once out of sight, she went off in search of Lord Elrond.
She pled her case with him, and was given flat denial. She knew that she needed to go, not for Legolas' sake, but she knew that she absolutely needed to go. At least, that is how it seemed to her. She was becoming rebellious and crafty in her old age, for she resolved upon denial of Lord Elrond that she would trail the Fellowship until they were quite some ways from Rivendell, then she would let herself be known unto them. If they would not let her go, then she would go on her own!
Suddenly, a counter thought came to her, what if Legolas was so displeased by her following them that he broke off their engagement. No, that could never happen, she could not allow it. She voided her resolution on the spot and decided that she really ought not go after all.
A few weeks went by, and then she was summoned to the Lord Elrond's study.
"You summoned me Lord Elrond?" she asked after bowing low.
"I did Celebros. After you came to me a few weeks ago, I was compelled to look into your future, and I saw you at a stronghold of the kingdom of Rohan called Helm's Deep. Then a few seconds later I saw you in Minas Tirith. Thus, I think that you should follow the Fellowship. Since I have already decided that the Fellowship should only be nine, and have chosen them, and I am not about to reverse three orders in one day, I have decided you shall be the tenth follower. You cannot be remembered of course, but you can go as far as you wish and do whatsoever you wish. The only command I place on you is not to get in anyone's way. Understood?"
"Oh yes! YES! Thank you so very much Lord Elrond!" she joyfully cried. She impulsively threw her arms about him and kissed him on the cheek ere she danced down the hall to tell Legolas.
"Lord Elrond said what?" Legolas exclaimed, not believing his ears.
"He said I could go. He said I ought to! And he said he saw me at Minas Tirith, so we can be assured I shall make it that far at least!" she joyfully repeated. She flung her arms around him in a joyful embrace.
Slowly he returned it, bewilderment and surprise was written on his face and permeated his slow return of the embrace. "I am glad I suppose. If you shall make it to Minas Tirith, then there you shall be rather safe," he said, more to himself than her. The more he dwelt on it however, the gladder he was that he would have at least a little more time with her, should one of them die.
It was well into winter when the Fellowship left Rivendell, the whole Fellowship knew of her coming along and was surprised by it, but thought that Elrond knew best.
Authors note: I told you this wasn't like The Forgotten! The chapters are short, quite short! I hope you enjoyed it anyway. REVIEW please!
