34. Grim (Gen)

The news was grim. The Dark Lord had risen again (as Thranduil knew he would). Thranduil hadn't known who worked against Sauron.

Thranduil had made the messenger repeat two names.

"Tauriel," the messenger repeated, "and Legolas. They claimed to have been sent by you."

Thranduil wondered which thought up the lie. Though Tauriel had a quick wit and strong will, Legolas knew how to get whatever he desired. Both wanted to be heroes, fighting for ideals (they'd likely die for). They had been fighting for decades, even after the bloody battle ended and Thranduil last set his eyes on them.
