My 1st Story :D will be composed by several chapter stay tuned O.C - Elgondir and the others that doesn't exist in JRR Tolkien world (he only owns Legolas and Thranduil)

Elgondir's Tale

Elgondir Elthoras, son of Fyrandyr Elthoras and Eressë Palantír (sister of Thranduil), both defenders of Mirkwood, but they had to abandon Elgondir when he was 1 year old because they went in a journey to defend Middle-Earth against the evil Sauron and his minions (journey where both died), so they had to leave Elgondir behind but not alone he was kinda adopted by is uncle Thranduil (King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood and father of Legolas).

Thranduil always took cake of Elgondir like he was his Son and when he turned 6 (Human Age) Thranduil asked Amrod Tinúviel, the Hunter Trainer of Mirkwood to teach both his sons, Elgondir and Legolas, the art of the Bow. Soon they both started to show great skill such as tracking, camouflage, and of course the most important they had the best aim possible.

Only with 12 years Elgondir was already the best archer known only rivaled by Legolas. In the day that Elgondir turned 16 Thranduil summoned him and Legolas:

- Mae Govennan Elgondir, Legolas

- Mae Govennan Uncle

- Mae Govennan Father

- I summoned you two because I really need your help, I know that you are still to young but you are already the finest hunters that I have at my disposal and I received reports from my scouts that two trolls are coming in the direction of some villages in the south, I really need you to hurry there and stop them at once.

- Thank you for your confidence in us bu ... but do you believe that we can take down two trolls by ourselves? - asked Elgondir

- Elgondir you and my son are gifted of great skill, if you two can't take care of this no one will be able to do it.

- Father we will do our best - replied Legolas

- May Valar be with both of you

As soon as they left the palace they headed towards the stables:

- Hey mates the king told me that was time for you to choose your horse - said the stable master

- Really? We can choose any horse? and it will be ours forever? - asked the impatient Legolas

- Yup mate you can choose any horse

Elgondir was the first to choose because Legolas wasn't able to decide his favorite.

- I'll take this one - said Elgondir

- Wow great choice mate that horse is one of the finest that we have here his name is Shadow

- Because of his dark color? - asked Elgondir

- Yes but not so one of the main reason is that that horse is so fast that your foes will only be able to see his shadow

Legolas finally choosed his horse

- This one is wonderful

- Nice choice too, this one is the Prince of Rivendell and his bright color is full of hope

After choosing their horses they only had time to grab their weapons: a fine wooden bow, arrows made with the same wood as the bow and white gander feathers, and 2 elven swords.

It took 2 days to reach that village, and when they arrived they saw neither women nor kids only men forging weapons and preparing for battle.

- Who is the leader of this village? - asked Elgondir

- I am and who are you kids? Shouldn't you be hidden too? - asked the village leader with a smile on his face

- I'm Legolas Prince of Mirkwood and this is my cousin Elgondir Elthoras

- Oh I'm sorry my prince I'm Mahtan Eledhwen - said the village leader making a quick bow - We are kinda busy right now but how can I help you?

- We heard that 2 trolls are heading in this direction... - Said Elgondir but interrupted by the Mahtan

- 2 trolls? I wish it was 2 trolls it's more than that, much much more a whole legion of goblins and some trolls

- So our scouts report were wrong this is more dangerous than we thought - Said Legolas

- Of course they were we will not be able to hold them for long tell me that you are here as a messenger and the king will send an army! - Said Mahtan frightened

- I'm afraid that we are the army - Said Elgondir

- Wha? ... we are about to be attacked and the king sends two kids?

- We are not just two kids we are the finest archers in all Rhovanion - replied Legolas outraged

- I really hope you are 'cause we are really in need - Said Mahtan demoralized

- So tell me how many warriors we have? - asked Elgondir

- Warriors? None we are all prospectors, foresters, fisherman, armorers and not much more than that - said a villager

- And how many men we have? - Asked Elgondir again

- Only 200! - replied another villager

- And how many are the enemy?

- Not less than 1500 and with some Mountain Trolls - Said the village scout

- The odds are not by our side cousin -said Elgondir to Legolas

- Yeah we have a big problem here - Replied Legolas

So our heroes where in a big trouble there was no way 200 workers could win a war against 1500 trained goblins but Elgondir and Legolas never thought in quitting

- So Mahtan I ask for permission to examine the village and seek for a strategy - said Elgondir

- Permission more than granted!

So Elgondir asked Legolas to go scouting so he could have a real sitrap while he examine the village and the area above for a good strategy, after hours of thinking and examine Elgondir believed that he had found the best way to fight against this evil and so he asked Mahtan to gather every men.

- Well my friends this will be an hard fight but we must stay together, I need 50 archers but they need great dexterity 'cause we will use the top of the trees as an advantage point and we will need to jump from tree to tree not an easy task so I will train some jumps with you, the remain 150 men will split in 2 groups one of 100 men that will dig holes and turn them into traps and the final 50 will cut some trees in the north cause we will use the south gate ramp as the perfect place to use rolling logs to crush some enemies and the north gate shall be sealed and reinforced with some more wood and stones to prevent an ambush, They have the number mylon nin but we have the mind.
