A/N: I do not own The lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien does. The only thing
I own are the things that are not mentioned in the book.
Thanks for reading
Chapter One The morning light scattered across the kingdom of Mirkwood as a tired messenger on his horse galloped to the palace. He burst into the king's audience chamber, where the king and queen were greeting foreign royalty. "Your highnesses, I bring you joyful news for it was only last morning the Great War of the Ring is over!" "Really? That is indeed good news but what about my son, Legolas?" "Your son is well, your highness. He is at Mordor with the other member of the Fellowship." "When will he come?" "That I do not know, but I do know that they plan to go to Gondor." "Thank you, you may go now." the queen dismissed the messenger. "I am sorry, my dear king, queen and princess of the Softgale, for the interruption, please accept our most deep apologies." Said the queen of Mirkwood. "No, it is comforting to know that the War is over, we would like to go back to Softgale, and then return when the princes returns for the plans to start." Replied the queen of Softgale. "Yes, I pray that Legolas comes back home as soon as he can." Said the king of Mirkwood.
At Gondor "All hail Aragorn, King of the reunited kingdom and his beautiful bride, Arwen, Queen of the reunited kingdom!" the herald announced. At Gondor, Arwen and Aragorn were finally wedded at midyear's day. Arwen was dressed in a dress so white that it dazzled everyone's eyes. On her hair were white roses and on her finger was her golden wedding ring. Aragorn was in his most formal robe and he also had his golden wedding ring on. Everybody who were in the Fellowship and lived were there, as well as Elves, dwarves, Hobbits, Ents and men, who could reach there in time. There was much music and dancing, with occasional toasts going around as well. Arwen had given up her immortality to be with Aragorn. After the wedding, the remaining Fellowship stayed in Gondor for another month, with Legolas and Gimli sailing in the sea nearly everyday, sometimes even staying out at sea for two weeks. After the month, Legolas and Gimli went to visit the Glittering Caves and the Fangorn Forest. Their friendship sometimes confused many Elves and dwarves. After their visit, Gimli went back to his cave and with other smiths, he reforged the gates of Gondor in mithril and steel. Legolas, however, took his horse and traveled back to his homeland, sending a messenger before him.
"Your highness, king of Mirkwood, I bring you news that your son will be here in two days time." Announced the messenger. "Thank you. You may go now." then he looked at his audience and arranged a ball to take place in a week's time.
When Legolas arrived in his homeland, everybody was greeting him like a hero. After all, he WAS in the Fellowship. He was greeted by many Elf women, both young and old. And I am meaning somebody who is 4,000,000,000 years or over, but who still looked like they were barely over 20. He was also greeted by old friends as well, Lama, Kengas and Galian. They spent hours hunting in the forests, as well as scouring the area for any surviving orcs that hid there.
For the ball, all the high people of the Middle Earth who were Elves were invited, including Elrond, his sons and niece, the king and queen of Softgale with their daughter, and the council of Elrond. Gimli, Arwen and Aragorn were also invited, even though some Elves did not seem to approve.
At Rivendell, Elrond and his sons and niece were getting ready to go to Mirkwood. Elrond's niece, Danielle was excited to go. "We must go quickly! I want to ride Cloud again, on a long journey. It has been such a long time since Cloud was allowed to run!" "All in good time, my dear. Please stop fidgeting." was Elrond's crisp reply. Danielle's dark brown hair was tied in a low ponytail and was wearing a simple dress, suited for riding long distances. When everything was loaded in the carriage, Elrond, Kita, Elledan and Elrohir started to go beside the carriage. It would take them a day to get there, two days if the weather was not well. Thankfully, it only took them a day to get to Mirkwood, in time for the evening meal. They freshened up, meaning wearing a nicer dress for Danielle, with her hair loose, and Elrond, Elledan and Elrohir wearing robes with cloaks around their bodies, and in fresh robes. Danielle was wearing a deep dark red dress with bell shaped sleeves and she had red sandals on as well. Elrond was robed in dark brown, as was Elledan and Elrohir. She was seated opposite to Legolas, who was wearing green, and his cloak was brown, like all the other male elves. The evening meal was a quiet one, with polite conversations going around, mostly about the War of the Ring. Danielle, at that time was under the care of Galadriel, and she was the second favourite of the queen, after Arwen, her beloved cousin. Danielle was shyly studying Legolas. This was the fifth time to see him. The first time she saw him was when she greeted him and the others in Rivendell. She had started to begin to know him, when he was chosen to join the Fellowship. The second time was when she was under the care of Galadriel, when the Fellowship went to her great aunt's forest. She had talked to him, for a short time, before he was called away for an emergency. The third time was at the crowning of Aragorn when she was standing opposite of him. And the fourth time was at the wedding of Arwen and Aragorn's wedding. They had stood together and sat at the same table. This was her fifth time. 'He has changed. He has grown more serious.' Danielle though as she sadly took a sip from her water cup. Legolas too, was studying Danielle. 'She is as ladylike as ever, calm and gentle. Like at the wedding.' Legolas though as he chewed his piece of vegetable thoughfully.
Arwen and Aragorn arrived the next day, just after the noon meal. "Greetings, cousins." Greeted Danielle. "I trust your trip was well?' "Yes, my dear Danielle. Come, we have much to discuss." Answered Arwen.
"Danielle, I am not sure if Aragorn loves me fore who I truly am, or for my beauty, which is disappearing fast." Confided Arwen Danielle burst out laughing. "Arwen, my dear cousin, of course he loves you for who you truly are. I can see the deepness of his love. It has no end." "I hope that you are right. What about you? Do you love somebody?" "Arwen!" gasped Danielle in surprised. "Why do you ask?" I can see it in your eyes." Accused Arwen. "Then please keep your voice down, for I am not sure if he likes me or not, except as a friend." "Then come to my chambers" they hurried to Arwen's chambers. "It is Legolas." Admitted Danielle. "Then that is not bad, for I think he likes you as well. I saw him looking at you when you were greeting me and my Aragorn." "Probably because it was polite to acknowledge another person who is speaking." Danielle said dully. Then she became passionate. "Nobody must know of this, incase this is one of the unfortunate one sided love that happens so frequently, without warning." Danielle begged. "I understand so well, you would not believe it, cousin. For it was like that with me and my Aragorn." Arwen said, hugging Danielle, trying to comfort her, while Danielle cried softly on Arwen's shoulder. 'Do not worry cousin, for I know that I will do everything in my power to make him know you, and to like you, maybe even love you. For it was like that with Aragorn and me. All too similar, all too the same. Hopefully it will end in great happiness, as it did with me.' Arwen thought.
A/N: when Arwen says that Legolas and Danielle's relationship was too similar with her's and Aragorn's she means not telling Aragorn, not having Legolas feeling the same thing as Aragorn. Sorry, it was kind of confusing, wasn't it? Like I said, "SORRY!" Did you like that chapter though? Please reply. Thanks. S
