In Forests Green

Legolas sat under the woodland canopy cross-legged on a large boulder. Eyes closed, he celebrated the touch of dappled sunlight on his upturned face. There he sat and it was there Gimli found him.

At first, he thought Legolas was in the middle of some crazy Elf thing. But as time passed, he saw the serene beauty shining from his friend. Without warning, stories of Legolas' Mirkwood home, and the furious evil living there saddened Gimli's heart. Darkness and death still waited for them down the road they traveled, but for now, Gimli left Legolas dreaming of his forests green.
