CHAPTER 1

As we walk in the ancient forests of his ancestors, he pulls me closer to him and I lay my head upon his chest. I breath in his woodsy scent. Slowly brushing a tendril of his light golden hair over his shoulder and sighed. I wish I could tell him exactly how I felt, I never want this moment to end. Sighing again, I sent the feelings I felt through our bond.

"Elleth, Meleth nin. You are making me feel home sickness for a forest I have seldom been," He said.

His arms grasped me tightly in a possessive hold that he would never let me go.

Legolas released his hold slightly grabbing my chin with soft strong hands. His gentle touch made me smile and he tilted my head up, so as to look into my eyes.

"Meleth nin, I shall hold you in my arms until the end of time and the end of physical bodies then, my soul shall hold you longer," Legolas declared with a serious expression,

A corner of my mouth tipped up in a smile, and then I had a sad thought.

"Legolas, would you really seal your freedom away for eternity to be with a simple elleth maid so quickly? You must think of it first, then seal it with a kiss, but I beg of you, think of it first. I will not be kept in hiding like a mistress, you must inform your Adar, and the rest of the elven cities too. No matter how long it takes I will wait for your decision-"

Legolas cut her off by leaning down swiftly while pulling Ercassiel's head up abruptly to cover her lips with a kiss, not letting go for a timeless while.

Ercassiel's eyes warmed as realization dawned on her. The Crown Prince of Mirkwood picked her up and carried her to the edge of the forest, looking out and thinking. Tonight the kingdom would find news of their courting.

"Tonight I will tell my brothers, Mellron will except you easily as my mate, Adherill I can not predict his feelings. I have never been close to my eldest gwanur.

My only worry is my controlling Adar; he was hoping to marry me off to a foreign kingdom, to unite our kingdoms. But nay, I will not let my rank as Crown Prince of Mirkwood, defeat our love. We shall be together meleth nin. If Adar protests we shall flee to Lothlorien to seek residence from the Lord and Lady of Light for a short time then retreat to Imladris. The Lords Elrond and Glorfindel will surely aid our bonding," Legolas whispered in promise.

Legolas sat her back upon her feet, his arms around her waist as they gazed toward the mighty palace. Ercassiel twisted around to face her meleth and they shared one more loving embrace. Both of their hearts heavy with worry for the events to come later that eve.

Chapter 2

Legolas hurried to his rooms halting as a dark-blue clad servant stopped him.

"My Prince, King Thranduil has commanded your young highness' presence for supper. He will send a servant to summon you in an hour's time." The elf bowed and backed away hurriedly to prepare the King's meal.

Legolas was unpleasantly surprised. How dare his Adar call a meeting with hardly any notice! Still… What his Adar wants Adar gets. He sprinted to his rooms and dashed to the bathroom. Filling the bath with steaming water he tossed in a few herbs and spices for cleansing. Quickly unlacing the constricting green leggings and tossing his tunic over his head he sank in.

Letting out a breath he relaxed. Making haste to wash his hair, he inhaled the scent of cinnamon. He jumped from the tub and toweled off, feeling the minutes passing quickly. He patted his waist length golden blonde hair dry. He ran into the main bedchamber and pulled open his wardrobe.

Sifting through the fine silks and strange materials, he pulled out a ruby red robe. The robe was the color of freshly fallen blood and twined with designs of mithril "true silver" at the collar, sleeves, and hem.

Circling the collar, veins of mithril swirled, forming the symbol of the royal family of Thranduilion a silver leaf with the imprint of a dragon, showing the dangers the woods around the Capitol City.

The sleeves showed the same symbol, but instead of a dragon, a quiver of arrows and a bow sat on the leaf, Legolas' personal sign.

Legolas donned a set of silver leggings and a very light green tunic. He pulled the robe over top this.
