Sincerely, Lord Elrond
Prologue
This is set during the time when Aragorn is in Bree and traveling to Rivendell with the Hobbits, so nobody can find him, and, as you can imagine, Legolas is VERY worried...
TRANSLATIONS:
Ion= son
Ada= father
"Ion, come here please." Legolas' father, the great Elven king Thranduil, said.
"Yes, ada?" The prince asked, lightly 'bouncing' into his father's study.
"I just received a letter from Lord Elrond, I would like you to read it." Thranduil states, holding the thin piece of parchment out to his son.
"Dear King Thranduil," Legolas read aloud, his lilting voice steady.
Dear King Thranduil,
I am absolutely devastated to inform you that my beloved son, Estel, has been killed. The Rangers of the North have reported him missing and no-one has seen him in almost 2 weeks. Please inform dear Prince Legolas of this and give him my deepest regrets, for I too know of their bond. Though I hope he still intends to visit Imaldris, we have important things to discuss.
Sincerely,
Lord Elrond
The letter fell to the floor, it's holder's strength having failed. Tears streaked down the prince's cheeks as reality slowly sunk in.
"Legolas?" No reply. "Ion!" No reply, only a flash of green and gold as Thranduil's firstborn son disappeared through the door.
"Oh Estel, I'm so sorry."
