I'm going back to edit all my old chapters
Then I'll add new stories :)
Visit From A Friend
Gimli arrived at the gates of Eryn Lagalesn, suprised at the absence of elves. Usually they were everywhere.
The door to the throne room was open Gimli walked up to it
"Please don't report to me unless you found something or have some idea where to keep searching" Thranduil said, sounding frustrated.
Gimli knew better than to disturb the Elf king so he went to the courtyard where Legolas spent most of his time- training. Instead of finding his friend he met empty ground 'strange' he thought to himself 'there's usually at least one elf here.' Shrugging he headed back to the doors walking down the halls he knocked on Legolas' door
"Legolas?" Gimli called
Silence
"I swear lad if you don't open this door i'm breaking it in!"
More silence
Sighing heavily Gimli opened the door to find the room empty, he scanned the room- a neatly made bed, open window, his gaze finally found the unopened letter he had sent a couple days ago informing his friend of his visit, sitting on a small table.
Trying not to think too much about that he walked back to the throne room inside he found the elven king sitting on the edge of his throne hands on his lap his head down hair hanging around his face hiding most of it from view.
If he noticed the dwarf he gave no sign of it.
"Thranduil?" Gimli called. The king looked up Ice blue eyes meeting his.
"Master Dwarf" he said with a smile that didn't reach his voice or his eyes.
"Do you know were Legolas is?" Gimli asked.
Thranduil closed his eyes sadly dropping his head again. Shaking his head,
"I wish my son has been missing for two weeks"
"WHAT?" Gimli all but yelled, bewildered, unable to believe what he had just heard
"He just disappeared no one knows where he was, where he was going or even when he disappeared we went looking for him when he didn't show up for patrol there as been no trace of him no sign of a struggle, and his horse is still here" Thranduil said
"You don't think he left by himself?"
"Without his horse? He'd sooner jump out a window" Thranduil stated 'Which he has done before'
"So we have nothing to go on?"
Tranduil shook his head
Tyren walked through one of the doors.
"Hir-nin" he said with a bow
"Did you find anything?" Tranquil asked suddenly looking hopeful
"No I came here to make sure you got proper rest"
The king shook his head.
"I've tried I can't sleep"
"Falling asleep in the middle of a search isn't going to help Legolas" Tyren said softly
"Which is the reason I tried to rest…"
"A group of archers are going to leave in about an hour on a search" Tyren said with understanding in his eyes.
"Then I will be with them" the king said.
"I knew you would" he whispered as he left sadness in his eyes
"Hannon-Le" the king called after him
Tyren turned and nodded and walked out the door.
The king started towards a different door.
"Mind if I come along?" Gimli asked
"Not at all, but know that we will not slow our pace for you" Thranduil said without turning around.
"Agreed" Gimli replied without missing a beat.
