I do not on lOTR or any of the characters
Doubts
The steps of the energetic child running through the halls were unmistakable. He just sat and waited this is the third time today he thought to himself and suppressed a sigh.
A soft knock at the door sounded as predicted.
"Come in Estel" the small five year old peaked around the corner
"How did you know it was me Ada?"
"Ahh that's for me to know and you to never find out."
"But that's not fair Ada." The small child pouted.
"Hmm I guess it isn't" A small chuckle escaped his lips from the child's dramatic sigh.
"Well if you really want to know than I guess your going to have to prove that you're worthy."
"Is this an adventure the child asked excitedly?"
"I guess you could say it is." He got up from his desk and looked through a pile of books that lay on the ornately carved desk that sat in his study.
"You see this flower, it grows in the gardens outside, and if you can find it for me I'll tell you how I always know it you."
"The small child studied the small blue and white flower very closely his small brows knitting in concentration.
"Okay I got it. I'll be back before midday meal.
"I'm sure you will." He said knowing full well that the growing human would never miss the meal."
"But remember to stay in the gardens."
"I will ada, see you later."
A small smile played on the half elf's lips that child had so much energy but this task should keep him busy for the rest of the day. Now if only I could have that much energy in dealing with this paperwork he thought as he sat down at his desk and started to slowly decrease the mountain of paper work.
He was starting to get frustrated this was his third time through the garden and he still couldn't find the flower. But his ada wouldn't send him on a pointless quest and he really wanted to know the answer to why he could never sneak up on his ada so he started through one more time. He only got half way when a group of elflings surrounded him.
"Hey there Estel" one said
"Watcha looking for" another questioned.
"Did you trip and lose something again."
"No" He replied indigently.
"Then what are you doing,"
"My Ada sent me on an adventure to find a flower." He said quite proud of his mission.
"Figures"
"What do you mean?'
"Well he'd only send a human to find a flower. I mean a flower not like it's anything special."
"Ya you can't do anything with it or else you'll break it."
"Just like you humans it worthless."
"I am not worthless!"
"Really, do your brothers ever take you to help them hunt?"
"No they say I'm not old enough yet."
"Have they taught you archery, or how to climb a tree yet?"
"No but they say they will"
"Their lying no one would waste time on a worthless human like you."
"Your wrong" he shouted as the tears welled up in his eyes.
"Oh! Look the poor human is crying."
"Cry Estel cry it's the only thing you can do right."
"No you're wrong!"
"Are we?"
Estel couldn't take it anymore he ran, ran away from the elflings, his house, and his family. They couldn't be right could they? His family didn't think he was worthless, did they? What if they are right he thought to himself what if they hate me, I mean why would they love me I'm so different, It's no wonder Ada didn't want to tell me his secrets, they don't love me. And so Estel ran away into the forest to find somebody that really did like him.
