Chapter 30
Everything in Legolas froze when he saw the being who enters the room. No, that was impossible! He was dead! His father had killed him! The elf's heartbeat quickened as he looked into the amused, green eyes. His long black hair framed his face and the dark aura and shadow still surrounded him. The prince would never have expected to see him again. The being that had taken so much from him and given so many terrible memories. Because of which he almost died.
"Eero," the beautiful warrior whispered, unable to say more. It was as if everything suddenly stopped. As if the world stopped spinning. Images appeared in his mind's eye, and with them, the fear and pain returned. Eero's lips twisted into a cruel smile.
"I see you still recognize me, little prince. Are you happy to see me?" Legolas tried to calm down. He couldn't let Eero know how he felt. What his presence did to him. That she brought back so many terrible memories.
"Rather not." Fortunately, the prince's voice sounded firm, although he felt very different inside. He screamed inwardly. Eero raised his eyebrows cheerfully.
"Still so brave, Prince. Unfortunately, it hasn't changed since we last met." Again, there was the overwhelming pain in his heart. Their last encounter. With this, he had lost all of his big brothers. Thanks to the elf who was standing there in front of him. Now anger was added to the grief.
"And it won't change with beings like you either. Why do you live, Eero?" The dark-haired elf laughed contemptuously.
"Do you really think I'll let your oh so great father kill me? No, never." Fear filled the heart of the Mirkwood elf. Eero had lived all the time. But somehow the archer was also glad that he didn't know it. Otherwise, he would probably have gone mad out of fear. Eero leaned down and crouched in front of Legolas. The prince forced himself to look into the green eyes of his counterpart. 'I have to be strong. For they', thought the handsome warrior. The dark-haired elf grinned. "I actually didn't think I would ever see you again. But obviously the fate is gracious to me." The archer stared steadily into the green eyes. Eero had taken far too much from him. He wouldn't be able to take more from him.
"I also hoped. But I don't think fate likes me very much, so I can look into the eyes of a murderer again." At that moment the elf's eyes slit. The dark elf was clearly angry.
"You could have been spared that if you hadn't betrayed me back then, you curious something." Everything in Legolas screamed in indescribable agony at the memory of what Eero had taken from him and done to him, but on the outside, he remained calm.
"I shouldn't have given you away if you hadn't worked for Sauron. I told you that back then." Back then. The prince was tormented to keep remembering what had happened. But he would never give himself up to showing the dark elf. Eero shook his head.
"I should have killed you from the start. You're too dangerous for Sauron." Legolas grinned. It was kind of weird in this situation, but he couldn't help annoying the elf in front of him a little.
"Thank you for the compliment." Eero looked at him angrily.
"It's not over yet. I've already taken so much from you and I'm not going to give up now and I won't finish it. You will die. You will soon beg me to die." The beautiful archer's heart was beating too fast and he had to try to keep his breath under control. The Mirkwood elf knew that Eero would make his threats. He was not afraid for himself he was afraid for those who were with him. "See you soon, little prince," Eero replied with a smile before disappearing.
