'Legolas!' cried out a small elfling in laughter.
legolas looked around to see the young child who was calling his name. Bouncing towards him was a small blonde child, her face lighting up with joy as he smiled at her. It was hard to believe that only three months ago she was that broken down elfling who had just lost her parents in an orc attack. Legolas had found her curled up with her dead parents crying blood smeared on her face and clothing. Legolas had seen many things in his life but seeing such a young child begging for her parents back was something very different to the wars he had experianced.
Legolas was riding with his men to Lothlorien they had been travelling for a week trying to get there as quickly as possible, they were lucky as they had so far not come across any enemies. But that was when he saw it, "Stop!" called out Legolas pointing at the bodies. Legolas dismounted his horse and walked towards them, at first sight it looked like three bodies, one elf, one elleth and a elfling. The elleths eyes were still open staring blankly into the distance still and unblinking her child curled up beside her. Her long blonde hair matted in blood. Her partner was close by he was on his front a sword not far from his hand. It was then he saw the elfling move, she was sobbing clingling onto her mothers dress.
"Mama," she was moaning quietly over and over, "Mama come back, please, mama."
Legolas rushed over to the young child putting a hand on her shoulder, "Shh my child, friends are here now," Said Legolas giving her shoulder a calming squeeze. The girl looked up at him her face was covered in her mothers blood, as was her blue dress. The girl clinged onto her mothers dress started sobbing once more her beautiful long hair covered in blood clingling to her fragile body.
"Help me, please, help my mama," begged the girl. Legolas picked her up into his arms instantly his heart aching her her. The girl started to scream for her parents unwilling to leave them, Legolas started to stroke her hair trying to soothe her.
"Look after the bodies, I will take the girl to Lothlorien, I will send men to come help bring them back to the city," commanded Legolas as he mounted his horse sitting the girl infront of him one arm around her as she continued to cry for her parents.
Legolas looked down at the girl and smile on his face, she was safe now. He had discovered after some prying what her name was. She was so broken that first week.
Legolas walked to the door, she was in there, she had been in there crying since her parents were buried. At that moment it all became reality for her, she had screamed for her parents as Legolas held her back giving her soothing words. Legolas walked through the door to find her curled up on her bed sobbing once again. Legolas sat on the bed next to her and stroked her hair, it broke his heart to see a child in such a state.
"It's okay to cry, I did when I lost my mother, but I was older then you. She also died from an orc attack. I cried for days, but then i realised i had to try and be happy because no mother wants their child to cry forever," Legolas said softly. The girl stopped sobbing and turned around to him looking up at him.
"My name is Ordeanna," she sniffed. Legolas smiled at her, it was the first time she had talked to him.
"And mine is Legolas."
"Legolas, may be go for a walk please? I want to see more of the golden wood!" Exclaimed Ordeanna.
"As you wish young lady, have you told Haldir where you are?" Asked Legolas only getting an excited nod from the elfling.
Lady Galadriel looked apon Legolas as they sat by the river. She then turned her gaze to the water.
"You cannnot take her with you," she said simply. Legolas looked at her with shock and anger.
"Why? I found her, I am closest to her," he said desperately.
"She must remain here, untill she is of age. Haldir will care for her, as will everyone else in this wood, we shall raise her together," the lady said simply. She then looked at legolas almost smiling at him. "You will love her prince, you will marry her and she will bare your children. It would not be right for you to raise her. You will visit over the years and as she grows so will your love for her. Remember this prince." And with that Galadriel stood and walked away leaving Legolas alot to think about.
As they walked Ordeanna asked him many questions about his home and Legolas answered them happily. He watched her run ahead and spin around kicking up the golden leaves, giggling as she did so. She kept running back to Legolas as she found an intresting tree or a statue tugging his hand begging him to come see. After half an hour of walking Legolas stopped her and sat her down to talk.
"Ordeanna, I must return to my home now," he explained softly.
"May I come along too?" She asked looking up from playing with her sleeves.
"No, I'm afriad not. You must stay here, I will visit whenever I pass this way or whenever I can," promised Legolas as she crawled onto his lap.
"I'll miss you my prince," she said her voice muffled as she buried her head into his chest his arms wrapping around her.
"I'll miss you too my small princess."
Many Years Later
Legolas was in the stables brushing down his beautiful white horse when an elf tapped his shoulder. Legolas spun around to find his friend Thalion.
"What is it friend?" asked Legolas as his friend grinned at him handing him a letter.
"It is from Lothlorien, I thought i would deliver it myself," he said winking turning and walking away from his friend. Legolas waited till Thalion was out of view and sat on a nearby stool. He fingered the letter carefully before openning it.
Dearest Legolas
I am writing to tell you of my departure from Lothlorien. By the time this letter reaches you I shall be arrving within two days time. I crave to see you again my love. I cannot wait to feel your touch again.
With care and love
Your princess Ordeanna.
A smile crept onto legolas' face, it was time. Soon they would be joined, together for eternity. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach as he remembered their last meeting.
Legolas had kept his promise he had visited every few years, he had watched her grow into a young elleth. As he rode into the golden wood he remembered how they had flirted with each other last time he had seen her. He wanted to hold her close and never let go. It wasn't long before he entered the small town within the wood. A guard came to him as legolas slid off his horse, he handed the reins to guard and looked around for Ordeanna. It wasn't long before she was walking towards him. She had changed so much over the years, Her long hair was even longer and reached her theighs, it had turned even paler with years almost white. Her skin was pale and flawless she was thin her body not very shapely save for her hips. She wasn't tall for an elleth but it added to her innocence. She smiled widely apon seeing her prince her bright blue eyes lighting up. As she reached him her hand reached out for his, taking her hand legolas sliently took her away from prying eyes. As they walked they kept looking into each others eyes. Eventally they stopped in a small beautiful clearing. The silver trees streaching up above them the golden leaves adoring the floor as more fell slowly around them.
Legolas turned to face her and smiled at her gently, she returned his smile lacing her fingers between his. He stepped closer to her his hand resting on her slim waist. He leaned his forhead against hers looking into her eyes. Their lips so close. Ordeanna's breathing became swallow as nerves kicked in. Legolas let go of her hand and instead placed it on the back of her head. His other hand snaked round to the small of her back and pulled her closer. Ordeanna closed her eyes softly as did Legolas as he leaned in and kissed her lips softly. Ordeanna's hands found their way around his neck her fingers finding its way through his long hair. Legolas broke away and leaned his forehead against hers once again. After a few moments he stepped away taking her hand leading her down to the floor to lie next to him.
They laid together in the leaves kissing each other for awhile before legolas pulled her closer his hand on her waist trailing down to her theigh.
"I want to see your body, to feel it under my hand," he mumbled horsely into her ear as his hand gripped the skirt of her dress trying to control his urges. "Marry me Ordeanna, please. I love you more then anything," begged legolas looking into her eyes, pleading with her. Ordeanna looked at him stroking his face gently with her delicate hand.
"Yes my prince, I love you also. I want to join with you for the rest of days," Ordeanna said just before Legolas covered her mouth with his.
"On the night of our joining, I will take you, not before and not after," he said stroking her hair as he kissed her once again.
The rest of his visit was filled by him staying by her side continusly. They spent their nights whispering sweet nothings to each other, planning their joinning and talking long walks together. It was a sad day when Legolas left, he would have taken Ordeanna with him but he wanted to make sure everything was ready for her. In the last two months Legolas had been planning their wedding down to the last detail, he wanted it to be perfect for her, the only thing he had left out was her dress, that was one thing he was going to let her choose.
It was close now, only three days untill their wedding, he couldn't wait to see her, but they had agreed not to see each other before the wedding that was why she was arrving so close to the day. Legolas stood from his stood and started to walk up the slight hill towards the palace. He entered the palace through a back door and walked through the hallway towards the throne room. He pushed open the doors and walked towards his father who was seated on the throne, he sat in a smaller throne next to him still grinning as the day's court proceedings began.
Thranduil looked round at his son as the prince placed his circlet onto his head, he saw him grinning widely and smiled knowing what was making his son so happy.
