A/N: Hello everybody! Along with Harry Potter fics I also like to write Legolas ones. This one is my personal favorite...I think it is my best. I would love to share it with you guys!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything LOTR. I only claim the character of Girithfen. Also, to save typing time, I'm only putting the disclaimer on the first chapter.

Enjoy!


Prologue

Legolas looked back over his shoulder, at the shore of the place that was his home. But no longer. A tear ran down his cheek as he turned back around.

"We may see this place again, yet," said the dwarf Gimli, already standing at the railing of the small ship.

"We may," Legolas replied, smiling weakly. He lifted the loop of rope off of the pillar on the dock and tossed it up to Gimli. He walked up the ramp that he had built only weeks before, and boarded the ship.

He lifted the ramp onto the deck, and behind him the rustle of the sails came to his ears as Gimli raised them.

The ship gave a small lunge and began drifting forward. Legolas turned and stared at the shore as it slowly became smaller and smaller. The cry of the gulls filled his ears and tears stung his eyes. So much had happened in this land, so much that he had experienced. He wondered how his friends would live for the years to come. He knew everything would now be alright, and a smile spread across his fair face.

He then looked at his companion that had stepped up next to him. Legolasplaced a hand on hisshoulder.

"We journey to a new life, and new friends," he said. Gimli smiled through his thick red beard and gave a single nod. Legolas smiled back, turned, and walked over to the wheel of the ship. Placing his long, slender hands upon it, he breathed in the salty air of the sea before them.


I know that was pretty short, but I want to see what you guys think before adding more. I love reviews! Hope you liked it, and thanks for reading!
