(Author walks outside and is greeted by mad readers with pitchforks, torches and shovels, author makes a run for it and yells) "OK, you guys have a right to kill me, but first hear me out" (everyone stops and wait for an explanation) "my grandma was still in bad health and then after she got better my mom got sick and I had to watch my little sisters, and then it got even better I reread my chapter and decided to rewrite it. When I was almost done, a friend of mine was in an accident (long story) and now he has two degree burns on both his legs and foot, and my fanfic account started acting up and then my sister's dog had puppies and there was a runt that didn't look like it was going to make it and I've been taking care of it (which I enjoy doing and the pup is doing a lot better now ) And then plain old writer's block.

(Reader starts talking to each other on if they should forgive, while the author makes a break for it.)

Knocking on the door Nasuada heard a voice saying "Come in" opening the door slowly Nasuada saw the elf sitting up in bed, but he didn't look like he was hurt, but then again he wasn't showing any emotions either.

Nasuada reintroduced herself and told Legolas about the change of plans concerning the meeting. To her surprise, Legolas took the news well enough; it was only when she told him how they planned on getting him to the meeting that he didn't like the idea.

She couldn't blame him; riding in a "wheelchair" wasn't the greatest way of being introduced to half of the most important people of Alagaësia.

Lucky for her, she knew how stubborn and prideful elves are, so like every smart woman she had planned head.

"I know you don't like the idea of the wheelchairs, but there's no other way for us to get you there."

Legolas just sighed

"We'll take you on a different route through the hallways if that will make the ride any better."

Nasuada at first received a glare from the elf, which then turned into a softer expression after his elf thought about his options.

"Thank you, I wouldn't mind going early, but do you think you can give me a few minutes to get ready?"

Nasuada nodded and said "Of course, if you want I can help you." She knew Legolas looked healed and his body might be a little better, but he still was hurt and he might even be in more pain thanks to the spill he took earlier that week (remember Elreria lied to Nasuada and told her Legolas tried to walk, but he fell) and not showing it.

And Nasuada was surprised when Legolas replied saying, "I think I can manage."

Nasuada didn't think he could manage, but Elreria had said something to her about not being too pushy.

She just eyed him, shook her head, and then asked "Are you sure?"

The Legolas just nodded his head and said "Yeah I'm sure, I have healed some."

Nasuada sighed to herself and taking Elreria's advice from earlier prepared to leave.

("He is very stubborn and he won't like being babied, so if he wants to get ready by himself…let him.")

"As you wish," Nasuada said with a nod of her head and then left the room with the soldiers.

A few minutes later Legolas said they could come back in, they had a little trouble getting him into the chair, but it all worked out in the end and before Nasuada knew it they were on their way to the council room.

Legolas took in his surroundings as Nasuada pushed him down the hallway; he didn't like the castle much it was made of stone and it had mostly red and purple carpets not to mention it had suites of armor set up every two feet apart and on each side of the hallway.

As they turned down another corridor it was just the same as the last hallway, Legolas rolled his eyes didn't humans have any architectural creative abilities here.

A few minutes later they stopped in front of two large metal doors, Legolas took a deep breath they had arrived.

Legolas sat at that the end of a large stone table that was long enough to seat about twenty or more people. No one had arrived yet, but Nasuada who had brought him set only a few seats away.

Legolas started tapping his fingers on the table,

"Maybe I shouldn't have come early," Legolas thought to himself as he looked around the room. There wasn't much to it a plain stone room with a stone table and stone chairs and a few windows that were about nine feet tall.

"Are these people related to dwarfs?" Legolas thought to himself "everything is made of stone in here."

Legolas gave the room one more glance then the doors opened and people started to come in.

Without showing any emotions Legolas went cold and his heart started pounding. He couldn't believe he was actually getting nervous he had been thinking about the meeting, but now it was about to start.

People started taking their seats, some would look at him then turn to the person next to them and start whispering amongst themselves, and didn't these people know it didn't matter if they did or didn't whisper he could still hear them.

Legolas started to look around for Elreria, but he didn't see her anywhere. Looking around a little more he then saw Arya enter the room, he swallowed though he didn't really know what to think of her. She seemed really nice when they first met, but when she found out that he wasn't from Alagaësia she got real curious and started to act like King Orrin. Legolas then stopped looking around when he saw Arya start in his direction.

Arya stopped in front of Legolas and raised a finger to her month and then said something Legolas couldn't tell what she said; somehow it sounded familiar, but he didn't remember where.

Arya watched Legolas back and when he didn't reply Arya tilted her head to one side and spoke again in the same language. Legolas then recognized it; it was an old elves language that his people used to speak before his time. He had learned a little of it, but he didn't remember it now so he decided to tell her that.

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand you?"

Arya who wasn't as good at hiding emotions, froze and looked at Legolas (who was laughing on the inside) and then walked around to him and sat down in the chair beside him.

"What did you say?" Arya asked (in the human tongue)

"I said I'm sorry, but I don't understand you." Legolas said in his elvish tongue.

Arya just looked at him as he turned away and watched as more people settled themselves into their chairs.

The meeting was about to start and Arya's gaze was starting to get on his nerves.

"Maybe I shouldn't have spoken." Legolas thought to himself as Arya tugged on his arm.

Legolas swallowed as he looked her in the face. A few locks of her hair drifted in front of her face and the way she looked at him almost reminded him of Arwen and the way she got when she was worried about one of her brothers.

Legolas closed his eyes and let the image float away as he tried to clear his head,

Sighing Legolas opened his eyes and in the human language said "I said I'm sorry, but I don't understand you."

Arya sat up straight she looked a little surprised "I spoke in the ancient language of the elves; How was it that you didn't understand me?"

"Ancient language…" Legolas said a little puzzled "My people don't speak that language."

"Really…then what language do your people speak." Arya asked as she scooted her chair closer to him so she could hear him better as people started their own conversions.

"We really don't have a name for it my people and the humans just call it elvish."

Arya was about to say something, but King Orrin spoke up and said the meeting was about to start.

The people took to take their seats when Legolas saw Elreria, she just sat down in the comer of the room alongside a young boy who had the resemblance of an elf, but was clearly something else.

"I know you know Elreria, but the boy that's Eragon." Arya spoke when she saw Legolas looking in their direction.

Legolas watched them till Eragon cast him a glared. Legolas raised an eye brow and looked at Elreria whose voice then enter his mind.

"I told Eragon about Saphira, I'm really sorry. I had to she is his dragon, it was only right."

"She told him!" Legolas thought to himself as he looked back to Eragon.

"I can read your mind and answer any question you may have and I'm really sorry, but I had to." came Elreria's voice in his head again.

Legolas just sighed and turned back to the table, so then the meeting began.

Everyone at the table was quiet as King Orrin stood and cleared his throat.

"Ladies and Gentleman I'm sure everyone knows why we are here today, not two months ago we sent a group of messengers to Tarnag to attend some important business. On their way back they ran into something unsuspected." King Orrin said as he looked toward Legolas and everyone else followed their Kings gaze.

Legolas was a bit uncomfortable as everyone in the room looked at him usually he wouldn't care; but this time he did.

"Nothing like putting people in the spotlight," Legolas thought to himself.

"Please Legolas, don't say anything you'll regret later, just answer the questions they ask so you can get out of here as soon as possible." Came Elreria's pleading voices.

Legolas rolled his eyes "I wish you told me you could read minds."

Elreria smiled to herself "Sorry I didn't think about it, but hey we can talk without anybody knowing it…by the way you might want to pay attention."

"Master Elf."

Legolas looked up and saw everyone in the room was looking at him.

"Master Elf are you with us?" King Orrin asked.

"Uh…I'm sorry I was lost in my thoughts." Legolas answered.

King Orrin was about to say something, but Arya cut in.

"It's alright I'm sure your just trying to get your thoughts organized." said the Elf Princess

Legolas just looked at her blank and said "Yea I was just getting my thoughts organized."

King Orrin nodded his head "Very well, I shall repeat myself then. As I said before or should I asked before…do you know Master Elf how you came to be in a boat and in such bad condition?"

Legolas sighed "I might as well tell the truth."

Clearing his throat Legolas answered saying "I can't really tell you a whole lot, but I'll do my best to tell you what I do know. For instance I don't know how I ended up in a boat; I didn't even know I was in one. As for my injuries all I know about that is that my friend Aragorn and I were traveling from, we stopped for the night and my friend went to gather fire wood and…something attacked me from behind.

There were a few mummers throughout the council room and then King Orrin spoke again.

And then Elreria popped in his head saying "Liar, liar pants on fire"

"Oh shut up." Legolas reply

"I guess that will clear up that part, but where do you come from? Orrin said as he clasped his hands together and sat the on the table.

Legolas thought for a moment he didn't really see any harm in telling them about his home land.

"Where I'm from the land is called Middle Earth and unlike this land where there is only one elf realm, Middle Earth has three, two of their whereabouts is known to most, but the third one is hidden to those who aren't elf or magical creature. Oh Yeah, and some humans knows of it too,

The realm I'm from is called Mirkwoods."

Elreria POV

Elreria sighed to herself as Eragon shot another glare at the back of Legolas' head; honestly if looks could kill the elf would be six feet under.

The meeting seemed to last forever after Legolas told a little about his homeland. Everyone wanted to know more about it which was natural for humans, as for Arya she was finally able to ask her questions which wasn't as big a deal as she made it sound.

"So he is a prince big deal."

Elreria shook her head as Eragon started a telepathic conversation.

"Eragon give him a break he made a mistake, I'm sure he'll help get Saphira back."

Eragon just scoffed

"And who said I wanted his help?" Eragon shot back

"Because you have no choice; like it or not Legolas has to set things right with Saphira."

Eragon crossed his arms as he watched King Orrin ask more about this so called Middle Earth, it didn't take a mind reader to know what he was thinking, Orrin wanted to make an alliance with this elf.

"Great..." before Eragon could start his thought he heard Elreria giggle under her breath.

"What so funny?" the young dragon rider asked

"Oh nothing." Elreria said raising her hand to her mouth muffle her laugh

"Whatever." Eragon said sounding a bit annoyed

The meeting went on for another few hours when King Orrin decided to take a break for the day and pick up where they left off.

Lucky for Legolas they didn't need him anymore, so he got to return to his room and wait out the week.

Back at Legolas' Room

"Congratulation news of a mysterious elf prince had already spread though out the city and will be heard all across Alagaësia by noon tomorrow."

Legolas who was standing in the balcony's doorway turned and looked at the half-breed as she came to stand by him, raising an eye brow Legolas asked

"And should I have lied instead of telling the truth about me?"

Elreria sighed "No, I just didn't think you would tell them that you are a prince so soon."

"Neither did I, but they would have found out sooner or later anyway." Legolas said walking to the table that now had a stack of books on top of it, "hmm someone must have brought them in earlier I wonder why I didn't notice them".

"So what are you planning on doing now," Elreria asked walking out onto the balcony?

Legolas started looking over the book title as he answered Elreria

"I was thinking about finding a way to get back to my home. "The Art of the Elements.

"Do you know where to look" Elreria asked?

"I have an idea," Legolas said as he continued to look through the books.

"Do you care to share," came Elreria's voice from the balcony door way?

Authors note: Ya I know dumb place to end the chapter, but hopefully I can update soon (no promises )
