It's a bird! No? It's a comet!

Summary: Legolas and his friends on one of those 'Normal hunting trips'; but they come across something unimaginable.

Disclaimer: Like all the good Fanfiction writers out there who know as well as I do that neither Lord of the rings, nor anyone from it doesn't belong to me, It belongs to the master who wrote it. (Sighs)

In this story I imagine Legolas is about 750, almost 8 years in human years.

I finally convinced my Adar (Father) into letting me go hunting with my friends; after persistently whining, pouting, and getting on his nerves until he broke down and let us go.

Why does he think that I'm still an elfing that can't protect myself?, I thought, I can fight just as well as the older warriors.

"A piece of mithril for you thoughts, tithen pen (Little one)?", asked Derevon.

I turn towards the voice to reply. "First, you're only one century older than me so I'm not that little. Second, I was just thinking about why my father still deems me too young to go on regular hunting trips."

Ah, Deavan. One of my two closest friends, I thought to myself. I turn to see my other friend El come up the hill with his pack in tow.

"Mellonin (My friend), you know good and well that His-Highness is just trying to protect you."

I let out a sigh. "I know Mellidral but--" Before I could get my sentence finished, Van put a finger to my lips and focused his eyes on the darkening sky above us. We look up in confusion, and then we saw what caught our friend's eye.

"What is that?" El and I stated in unity. Unfortunately, the only answer we got was Van jumping up into the nearest tree.

"What are you doing?!", I call after him.

"Getting a better look.", He yells back down to us.

Once Deravan was at the top, El yells up, "What do you see?"

"I'm not sure, it looks like a shooting star but it's too big to be so."

El and I look at each other in puzzlement as our eyes widen with realization. We yell, "It's a comet!! In which direction is it headed?!"

I hear a 'Gulp' come from Van, as he jumps down from the tree and yells, "IT'S HEADED OUR WAY! RUN!"

But... we aren't fast enough, and it hits just behind us sending us flying through the air, onto the ground, into unconsciousness.
