Chapter One
Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin, and Aragorn were all traveling to Mirkwood. Legolas said that an event would be happening a week after they arrived. They were curious and when hobbits get curious, they ask questions. Legolas found that out the hard way.
No matter how many questions anybody asked, they never got any answers. They moved past this for a while and simply chatted. Finding out about each other's pasts, telling jokes, it was lovely while it lasted.
Legolas heard a sound. He tensed and Aragorn threw a worried look at him.
"Legolas, what do you hear?" Aragorn called out, interrupting Gimli, who was telling about how to make a sword.
"I'm not sure," Legolas answered, furrowing his brow. His eyes widened. He shouted, "Into the trees," and started to get Gimli and the hobbits up with the help of Aragorn. They hid there.
Legolas drew his bow. Seeing this Aragorn also grabbed his, pointing it where Legolas was. Away from the palace a pack of orcs came. Aragorn and Legolas shot arrows quickly and when they ran out, there was only three orcs left. Legolas pulled out his twin daggers and dropped nimbly out of the tree and beheaded the first two and threw his dagger into the head of the last.
(A/N I just like making Legolas look awesome!)
Legolas climbed nimbly back into the tree and all the way into the top. He looked out over the land. Satisfied that there was no more orcs he started to help the others down the tree and they started to walk back to the palace. After getting their arrows back, of course.
Merry and Pippin were looking at him shocked. They've never really seen him fight and shoot his bow so quickly! Aragorn wasn't as good as Legolas. All of Legolas' arrows hit their marks perfectly while Aragorn's would sometimes miss.
"Legolas, when did you first learn to shoot a bow?" Pippin asked.
"At 50 years of age, I believe," Legolas mused, "Less than a year old by your standards, but I learned quicker than most,"
"Why?" Pippin asked.
"It was something I liked doing. And my ada taught me, so I always trained more than anyone else, just so I could be with him," Legolas smiled, thinking about his ada and being trained how to shoot a bow.
"Ada?" Gimli spoke this question.
"It means father in elvish," Aragorn told him. After that they just chatted about random things for the rest of the way there.
At the palace Legolas showed them their rooms and his, so they'd know where everyone was to be. Legolas stopped a passing servant and asked her to bring some food to his room, and they ate in there before leaving to their rooms.
They slept early and for a long time. Except Legolas who woke at the crack of dawn.
