Title: The Stars Will Shine Brighter
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the genius which is Tolkien.
Summary: The people of Mirkwood have secluded themselves from other elves for a long time. Legolas has not seen his former best friends, the children of Elrond, for almost 2 thousand years. But when he runs into an injured human that claims to be a child of the Lord of Imladris, will he return to Imladris? Will this human become a friend?
The blond elf walked through the woods of his homeland. He was closer to the borders of Mirkwood than he'd been in a long time. Long ago his father, King Thranduil had secluded the realm of Mirkwood from the other elven cities of Middle Earth. They rarely got any visitors from Rivendell, Lothlorien, or any human realm, and certainly no dwarves.
The people of Greenwood the great had always kept to themselves, but more than two thousand years ago, when Legolas was less than half his current age, Lord Elrond and King Thranduil used to be friends who visited eachothers realms frequently with their familys.
The sons and daughter of Lord Elrond and the son of King Thranduil were the best of friends and were rarely apart, despite the distance of their homelands. When the Queen of Mirkwood passed on to the Halls of Mandos, the King became secluded and along with him, the land of Mirkwood became solitary. Soon the King sent messangers to Rivendell on business instead of going himself, Lord Elrond had tried once or twice to rekindle the friendship by journeying to Greenwood himself with his guards, but soon found it was hopeless and gave up.
It had been One Thousand and Seven hundred years since anyone from either land, besides messengers who went back and forth between the realms, had visited their neighbor. The children of the Elven Lord and King no longer saw eachother and despite the want of the elven children to stay friends with eachother, their Ada's (Father's) wishes that none of them were to journey to the other kingdom were obeyed and eventually the four elflings, who had once been the best of friends had completely forgotten one another.
Legolas touched each tree as he passed it, as if saying hello to each in turn. He sighed, he'd been very busy over the last few hundred years. Though rarely leaving his homeland, he had been in many battles, attacks, and ambushes over the years. The growing darkness and shadow over Mirkwood that had been plagueing the woods for centurys had been more fierce and dangerous as of late and the Prince had been subdued as he was now in charge of most of the elven army of Greenwood. The population of Mirkwood spiders had been growing and attacking cities in mirkwood in large numbers.
The tall, blond prince decided to turn back and return to the camp that he had set up, as he was currently takeing a break after recieveing permission from his father to relax and explore by himself and recuperate from his hard work over the past few decades. He was on his way when he heard a scream, a human scream.
The sound had come just north of his current position and he raced to aid the human who sounded as if he were in a great amount of pain. Unlike most of his people, who did not like the company of humans, dwarves or other races, Legolas saw all of the free peoples of middle earth as equals. As he got closer, he heard the sound of metal clashing and soon reached the position of the distressed edain (human). The human looked to be about 3 decades old, he looked as though he hadn't shaved in a week, he also had shoulder length curly black hair which was drenched with sweat from the current battle he was fighting with about ten orcs.
Legolas jumped to intervene and with in a matter of minutes, all the black creatures were dead. The human looked at him warily, then his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed to the ground. The prince examined the dirty and fatigued edain and discovered a wound from an arrow in the humans shoulder along with a gash on the back of his head and many bumps and bruises.
After treating him lightly with what little herbs were around him, Legolas picked up the heavy man and headed back to his camp to heal him further and hopefully save the life of this young creature.
Tbc.
Hope you liked it, I've always wanted to do a how Legolas met Aragorn story.
R&R plz
