Disclaimer: for further notice into any of the further chapters I do not
own Lord of the Rings nor do I own legolas. I do however own the character
that you may no recognize from the books or movies.
I'm sorry I didn't mean too but I made some minor adjustments to the ending of the story just so my story will work. Sorry! Don't hurt me please!
~ Legolas looked down at his companion as they made their way towards Rivendell. Gimli had become a good friend of his throughout the fellowship and then throughout the war. They had had their occasional spat or argument. Which was most of the time but it seemed to be more of a game than ill meant.
"Legolas, when will we get there? I'm afraid that my legs will only carry me so far." Gimli complained as he sat down on a fallen tree. "And I don't care for what snide remark you are sure to have right now Legolas. I'm tired, we've been walking for days!"
"Well we wouldn't have had to walk if you had tied up the horse like I asked you too." Legolas said getting ready partake of their everyday ritual over arguing over something. Gimi opened his mouth to give a remark when he noticed smoke over the trees.
"Rivendell!"
~
When they arrived in the city they looked around and nobody seemed alarmed by the smoke. Some were even laughing. They walked toward Lord Elrond's house to find Arwen and Aragorn in the garden laughing holding each other up. Dust surrounding them. Something had made the pillar come loose and it had come down. It had not been smoke but a pillar of smoke.
"I'm so sorry Arwen! Are you alright? You're not harmed are you?" Came a female voice. Legolas froze when he heard her. Gimli looked at his companion in confusion at his sudden change. Then a tall elf clad in dark greens and black stepped out from behind a tree. "I didn't mean to hit you!" The elf said. The voice was the same before and there was no doubt that it came from the elf but what elven lady would wear warrior's clothes?
"Don't worry so Illusen! I'm alright! You never did have good aim. Even with Legolas' instructions." Arwen had been smiling but at her last remark she inwardly slapped herself for being so loose. "Oh Illusen! Forgive me my tongue speaks before I can think of what to do with it!" Arwen apologized taking a step towards the other elf while Aragorn looked puzzled at what had just happened.
"It would seem so." Legolas said surprised that he had said it out loud. Gimli looked at him. "You know her Legolas? Well introduce me lad! I always have time for elven lasses." Gimli said while he and Aragorn laughed at his joke but stopped when nobody said a thing. When Legolas spoke the elf turned around. She had black shoulder length hair and dark green eyes. Her skin was fair but she had multiple scratches on the side of her face that complemented the dirt smudges that neighbored them. She had a bow and a quiver full of arrows much like Legolas' and a short sword at her hip. She took a long look at Legolas taking all that had changed from the last time she had seen him.
After a few uncomfortable minutes of silence she spoke, "You are looking well Legolas." When she spoke there was an intended sharpness to them but a hidden softness. Legolas didn't seem to hear that part. "So do you. So Illusen, tell us of your friends the orc! How are they? Done any good massacring lately?" Legolas said taking a step towards her both hands in fists. Illusen's eyes narrowed and she also took a step forward but putting her hand on the hilt of her sword. "You know nothing of what you speak of Legolas!" She said in a deadly tone but Legolas seemed unmoved by her words.
"Enough! Step down both of you! You're acting like children!" Arwen said stepping in-between the two. Illusen withdrew her hand from her sword and Legolas took a step back. "Forgive me my lady Arwen I lost my temper." Legolas said looking at Arwen. Illusen stood there still starring but replacing her scowl with a stoic look.

That night sleep did not come to Legolas easy. He lied there looking at the ceiling of his room thinking about that day. He had not seen her in over two-hundred years. Why had he acted like that? He had missed her but she would never know. He doubted that she had missed him. He kept thinking over in his head what he could have said instead of becoming so angry. He was sure that the first words spoken to him were meant to be ill but maybe he had just imagined that due to their last meeting. He dwelt on those thoughts until he finally slept having an unpleasing dream.
It was when he was young. Back in Mirkwood. He walked until he reached a clearing were he saw two elven children running around a log singing an old children's tune. Then suddenly they stopped and fell down laughing rolling around on the ground for a good three minutes. Legolas walked past the children and sat on the log. He remembered this. It was him and Illusen when they were young and used to play together. The young Legolas sat up and grabbed a sharp stone and walked toward the log and called the young Illusen over and they carved their names into the wood. 'This will be our special place. These woods. We should come here when were lonely. This exact spot.' Whispered the young Illusen while Legolas nodded in agreement.
Legolas woke with a start. He did not like remembering. He wanted to forget all those times he and Illusen had shared and all those special places they had made together like the one in the woods. He sat up and looked around. 'I wonder if she has these dreams too?' Legolas thought. He had been having them ever since he had last seen her. All those years ago and he regretted all the words said since they first came from his mouth.
"Why did I have to see her again" Legolas whispered into the night.
~ Time – Sarah Mclachlan I need just a little more silence, I need just a little more time
You send your thieves to me silently stalking me dragging me into your war
Would you give me no choice in this I know you cant resist trying to re- open a sore
Okay how did you like it? Let me know what you think.
