Disclaimer: I own none of the characters of Tolkien.
"I am so very glad to have you arrive here Legolas son of Thranduilion Prince of Mirkwood and you Aragorn son of Arathorn King of Gondor," the smooth voice of the Queen of Lothlorien. Her crystal blue eyes looking at them with glee, her husband Celeborn standing arms length behind her. His robes sliding across the ground, his eyes watching the two men closely, neither boy moved under their powerful gaze.
"We are always glad to come when you call my lady," Aragorn said and together they bowed their heads in complete respect.
"Our time is ending…Legolas you must sense that even in your father, his heart is aching for the cry of the gulls and the time to sail. I will leave this world soon but not before I have given warning," Galadriel whispered her eyes saddening.
"What have you seen?" Legolas asked his brow furrowing.
"Though the ring and Sauron has been destroyed a new evil awakes into this world as time changes," she said her eyes moving to Aragorn then drifting very slowly toward Legolas.
"What is this new evil?" Aragorn asked.
"It will bring an end to all races…except one…" she said looking back to her husband who turned his head away from them, his golden hair shifting slightly from the effortless gesture.
"What evil could possibly do that?" Legolas asked in confusion. Galadriel eyes drifted back to Aragorn and their gazes locked.
"This evil is from the human realm but not in the form you may think," Galadriel said rising up from her place before the Prince and King and leaving the two to think on her words.
"What could these be?" Aragorn asked.
"Do not worry my friend; you have the protection of my kingdom. Nothing will harm Arwen or your children," Legolas said knowing the worries that now creased his friend's forehead. Placing his hand on Aragorn's shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze, Aragorn gave him a nod.
"Our troubles are never over," Aragorn said and Legolas gave a laugh.
"Mine are just beginning," he said.
"This is true. Is it true your father is desperate to find you a wife before he leaves these shores?" Aragorn asked.
"Aye, tis true," Legolas replied looking to the ground. "He believes I should be married after my long time of solitude though no woman has caught my sight yet."
"Do not worry when it happens you'll know it and your father knows that he just worries for you," Aragorn said as both men rose up from their seat and began their walk through Lothlorien enjoying the golden leaves that fell about them.
"My lords," the head of army, Haldor II, said with a bow. Legolas bowed back as did Aragorn both looking to the elf expectantly though he said nothing.
"Is there something we needed to know?" Aragorn asked.
"Oh yes, sorry," he said jumping slightly before turning and walking swiftly toward the borders of the land.
"What is it?" Legolas asked.
"We found something most peculiar," Haldor whispered.
"And that would be?" Aragorn asked as they reached the bordered. The chief elf pointed to the ground just on the other side of the border and two sets of foot marks could be seen.
"Now look here," he said pointing to the border of the lands, the foot prints seemed to just disappear.
"Did the men find them?" Legolas asked.
"That's what we found so weird. No one even saw anyone getting that close to the borders," Haldor replied.
"This is very different," Aragorn said, Legolas turned to see Galadriel watching them, she flashed a smile and turned her back to them.
"I think it's begun," Legolas said.
"What?" Aragorn asked looking to his friend who was watching Galadriel walk away from them almost mournfully.
"I think my race is to end soon, Aragorn," Legolas confessed looking to his friend sadly.
"What do you mean? Are you going to leave the shores?" Aragorn asked almost scared to hear the answer.
"No but I think my time will end now," Legolas replied as his eyes focused on the shoe prints.
"Are those women's feet?" he asked.
"Yes, that is what brought us much confusion," Haldor said. Legolas stepped away from his friends and bent closer to the tracks that could have been anything, as he stuck his hand out to feel the rumble about it a large shock of electricity shot through his arm and to his shoulder blade. Legolas gave a wince and pulled back instantly looking at the ground, it hummed with new energy.
"What is this magic?" Legolas asked his brow furrowing once more, Aragorn kneeled next to his friend and reached out to touch the earth. Legolas' hand shot out instantly trying to stop the King of Gondor Aragorn's hand touched the ground but nothing touched him.
Legolas looked to him shocked and Aragorn picked up some of the Earth looking at it as the confusion washed over the elves. Aragorn's eyes narrowed at the ground before suddenly a large bolt of electricity shot threw his body forcing him to drop the dirt to the ground. Aragorn fell back in a series of spasms, Legolas rushed to his side.
"What is happening here?" Legolas asked himself as the elves picked Aragorn up rushing him to the healers. Legolas followed his thoughts on the magic that now contended with the power of even the most powerful beings on this world. Something huge was coming and not even he could not stand positive to this troubles that were to come.
Alright what do you think?
