Third person

Lotr scene

As the fellowship trudged through the mines restlessly, there was obvious tension and definite anger. Legolas was beginning to doubt the gray wizard's sense of direction, and the fact that they were under pursuit by Gollum too did not help. Legolas too, was tempted to kill the disgusting creature, but hesitated too about the consequences. It was not his business anymore.

They had sat there for hours, waiting for Gandalf to hopefully recover some sense of direction.

Meanwhile,Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, and Aragorn huddled around by a dull lit campfire.

Legolas unsheathed the twin daggers behind his back, glancing at them.

Gimli turned around threateningly at the sound of the sliding as his daggers unsheathed.

Upon sight that Legolas was merely examining them he muttered, "One can never trust an elf. He thinks I'm not watching his actions, that fool."

Legolas, on the other hand, heard the dwarf's words. He humorously sliced at the back of Gimli's head in silence, and the dwarf ignorantly sat here, turned around, still ranting,

It gave him more satisfaction and Legolas returned to looking at Tauriel's daggers.

Although they were practically the same as his old ones, Tauriel's daggers were a bit more unique. The handles, though still the same, had a much more comfortable grip, with a wide radius for his larger hands. The blade too, was perhaps the slightest bit more curved, and useful to deliver fatal and wicked slices. The grooves in the knife were polished from sharpening, ready to slaughter orcs and goblins. He knew not how Tauriel had attained such well crafted weapons, as they seemed to perfectly suit her dangerous personality and bold attacks.

He missed Tauriel, the way she could flip these wicked claws in a split second or how her wrists eloquently moved when she violently twisted upon stabbing her prey

And how she had beseeched such gold to him.

He stroked the cold blade, brushing his hard fingertips through the grooves and leafy designs. All of their practice soars had aided him to surviving this far, and he was very grateful for all the fighting technique she had gifted him by simply fighting and training everyday.

"In all honesty, I think you are more on guard with your bow friend, than with your daggers. Is there something approaching though?" Aragorn spoke, smoking his pipe too.

"It's not that." He replied with a faint smile.

"Then why do you look at them with such regards?" Aragorn replied.

Legolas paused for a second, thinking of a suitable reply.

"Because they were given to me by an elleth. They were her weapons, her most treasured tributes to my journey." He strokes the deadly cold blade. "She is far in Valinor now though, but they merely remind me of her.."

"Is that why you rarely fight with your daggers these days?" Aragorn asked, reaching out to grab and speculate at the weapon too. "I remember you used to love sparring twin blades when we first met."

"Indeed, I do not want to ruin them." Legolas chuckled, "Silly thing to say, since they're forged by my kin, but I try to use them only when necessary. It is as if they symbolize my promise to myself to return after this quest. That I must live to return them to her."

"That is a dangerous oath to swear upon my friend... But this elleth..." Aragorn stroked his necklace in which Arwen had given him too, "You love her, don't you?"

Legolas replied slowly in a deep sigh,"Indeed... She always manages to outsmart her opponents in sparring, and one couldn't miss her fiery red hair over 5 miles away." He asked contently

"Common elleths do not spar nor fight." Aragorn said in surprise. "Does she attack well?"

"With more fury and strength than all the opponents I have ever battled before." He replied. "Sometimes of which she defeated me numerous times a day."

Aragorn now took his friend's weaponless hand, " Do I know her?"

"Perhaps you would've known her as Captain Tauriel of the guard. Maybe from killing those orcs when Lord Elrond took his kin to visit Mirkwood." Legolas replied and Aragorn immediately acknowledged his response.

"Will you two quit speaking gibberish and actually acknowledge the fact that we don't speak elf." Gimli interrupted.

"Are you a little sensitive to secrets and daggers Gimli?" Legolas grinned. "Or both."

Boromir and Aragorn chuckled at his humorous words.

Gimli pouted, "No I just don't trust yee."

"And why not?" Aragorn claimed jubilantly.

"Not you Aragorn, the elf! I've known you barely over a month or two. You elves were the cause of the death of my father's great ruler, Thorin Oakenshield and his nephews Fili and Kili. And as my father always said, never trust an elf!" Gimli began ranting.

Legolas darkened at the name Kili. But he said nothing, and let Gimli continue.

Perhaps had Kili never trusted Tauriel, situations would be much different.

Aragorn smirked and whispered lightly under the dwarf's deep echoing jargon, "Indeed I do recognize the name. She is very individual... pure..." He pauses, smiling faintly, before handing the long dagger back, "Like your promise."

"Certainly." Legolas replied with a faint smile as he recalled Tauriel's casual appearance. He sheathed the weapon, "Most definitely."

Suddenly Gandalf perked up, after his conversation with Frodo, "Ah-ha! It's that way!" He spoke out of the random.

The remainder of the fellowship looked at each other, shrugged, and made their way to follow him. Legolas personally felt more content than the usual now, and trailed the wizard fearlessly into the darkness.

I have decided to include a few scenes from Legolas's journey, to put a bit of space before he returns, and to sort of lay back on the romance a little. I am considering doing one or two scenes from each book of the LOTR Trilogy, perhaps one where Legolas and Gimli decide to explore the rest of middle earth before leaving to Valinor (which is the primary reason why they delay their arrival anyways according to a bit of research).

Please comment on which scenes you would like a bit of improvising conversation aside from the movie/book scene with Legolas and the rest of the fellowship.

This is all just to put some space and make the time lapse seem realistic in my story, so I hope you understand if you dislike my format.

Thank you all so much for reading, and I apologize for the long author recap. Don't forget to review!:)
