Disclaimer: I am sad to annouce that I do not own Legolas, or Mirkwood. The only things I do own are my character, Xillard, Quince, and Ama' Redrose.

Return To Mirkwood

It's not that I didn't think the ring wasn't worth protecting, it was just I was so happy to be back in Mirkwood where I truly belonged. I missed everything about it, the smell, the surroundings, the noises, and her, the one thing that was keeping me from not returning to Mirkwood. If anything she was what kept me alive, knowing that she would be there waiting for me.

"Legolas!"

I turned to face the one who called my name, she was even more beautiful now, then when I left so long ago, "My Ama," I wrapped my arms around her waist, then kissed her, "I missed you so much."

She was crying, "It's so good to have you home Legolas," she kissed me repeatedly, "You have to tell me all your adventures regarding the ring, Legolas," she took my hand with her own small one, "I was afraid you would not return to me."

I pulled her hand to cover my heart, "You are right here in me, I could never stay away from you, my love," I kissed her hand softly, "I'll tell you of my adventures some other day, for now I just want to hold you in my arms as if I had never left you."

"Legolas, my old friend, you have returned," Quince, who was my dearest, walked up and embraced me with half a hug, "Have you been to see Xillard?"

"I have not," I looked over at Ama', who was holding on to my arm, then I looked back to Quince, "I shall see him tomorrow, Quince."

Ama' smiled as Quince walked out of site, "You should go and fellowship with the guys, Legolas, don't let me stop you from doing such."

I wrapped my arms around her, "I been with guys all the time of being away with you, I just want to be with you, have you to myself as you once were."

When we got to the hut, which I had built so many years before the fellowship of the ring, I lead her inside I sat down on the floor, then sat her in between my legs with her back against my chest, it felt good holding her like this again. I could smell the scents of wild flowers flowing from her soft brunette hair. I looked into those blue eyes, which stared back into mine as if nothing changed. It was nice not having to worry about what was to come after us, I was home with her in my arms.

We finally emerged to the bed, which we once shared before I left. Her white gown made her skin look even more delicate as it clung to her with ease.

I laid down on the bedding, and watched as she combed her hair, "Ama' will you be joining me any time soon?"

She set the comb down on the vanity, then smiled at me, "I want to look nice for you, Legolas Greenleaf, of Mirkwood," she laid down beside me, and began to play with my hair, twirling it around with her finger, "I am so glad to be next to you once again."

I grinned as she locked her finger with my own, "You were always beautiful to me," I ran my free hand through her soft hair, "Ama' Redrose, of Mirkwood."

"Ama," I slid the back of my hand against her soft cheek, "How I dreamt of being like this, in your arms once more."

She smiled, then slid her hand under my shirt, "I often dreamt the same thing my love."

I removed the shirt I had on, then I pulled her closer to me, so that there wasn't any space between the two of us. "You were only the only thing that kept me from not returning," I began to kiss her neck as I unbuttoned the back of her gown. "Still can't believe I am here beside you. This all feels like a dream, but it is not, cause I could actually feel you soft skin against mine."

She removed her gown, when I finished with the buttons, "If this is a dream then don't try to wake me," she held my face with her small, what seemed like delicate hands.

"I wouldn't even dare to wake you my love," I kissed her pink lips, as I made certain that my hands didn't miss one part of her body, I wanted to take this moment and make it last another life time, "I miss loosing my self in your crystal eyes."

She never closed her eyes, not even as I began to make her my own once again, makeing love with her made me forget all the things I went through, it felt as if I had never left Mirkwood, or her, "Say you will never leave me again, Legolas."

I stroked her hair, "If I were to leave again, I would take you with me, Ama," I brushed my body against hers.

After we make love, she fell asleep in my arms. That night I stayed awake watching her sleep, for I was afraid if I fell asleep I would wake up back where I came from, to find this wonderful time with Ama' was all just a dream.

I must have fallen asleep, cause when I looked around the sun was shining through the hut, I put on my close, then went outside to seek my friends, and Ama'.

Ama' was by the stream, she was drawing water with a pitcher, she looked up when she heard me coming, "Morning, I did not want to wake you, you looked peaceful in your sleep."

I knelt down beside her, "I was afraid to go to sleep last night, I was afraid that this was all a dream."

She smiled, "Xillard, and Quince have been asking for you this morning."

"Let them keep asking," I picked up the pitcher, and walked back to the hut with her, "I want to spend this time with you."
