Summary: A very young Legolas meets Gandalf for the first time.

"Hello, young prince. Is your father at home?"

"Y-yes…"

The youngest royal child of Mirkwood knew not what to make of this imposing figure in the old robes. Not only was his hair as grey as his cloak, it was all over his face! His blue eyes twinkled with merriment, his cheeks were rosy, and his lips held the stem of the longest, smelliest pipe the child had ever seen.

"I am Mithrandir, and you need not be afraid. I have a gift for you." He produced a tiny bow and arrows and thus won himself a loyal friend for life.
