"Come on squirt. Concentrate. It's not that hard."
"I'm trying 'ren. But it's not working."
The older prince sighed. No matter how hard Legolas tried, he couldn't get them to respond.
"Alright. Let's work on their names and properties, for a little more, then you and father are going to go riding."
"Kay."
"Good, now start listing the thirteen stones. They don't have to be in any particular order. Just say them as you take them out of the bag."
Legolas pulled out a reddish blue stone. "Jacinth.um. seeing stone. Allows user to gaze over long distances."
He pulled out another stone, this time a deep orange one. "Sardius, ground stone, allows user to manipulate rock."
Jaren had to smile at Legolas' use of long words. The prince had a very good memory, as he was repeating exactly what Jaren had said earlier.
This time Legolas pulled out a golden yellow stone. " Topaz, healing stone. Ianna has that." Legolas looked proud at figuring that out.
The next stone was a purple gem. "Amethyst, wind stone. Allows user control over wind."
Next, he pulled out a green stone. "Emerald, nature stone. Allows user to communicate with nature.'
He pulled out another green stone, this one a dark green. "Jasper, growing stone. Helps plants and things, grow."
He pulled out a red stone next. "Ruby, fire stone. Mussasi has that."
Again, he pulled out another red stone, this one dark red. " Garnet, control stone. Allows user to manipulate one persons actions."
The next stone was blue. " Sapphire, water stone. Allows user to control water."
The youngest prince smiled at his older brother. "I'm remembering." He grinned.
"Yea you are squirt, now continue on."
This time Legolas pulled out a stone with a whitish color, and a luster nearly like wax. "Um. Onyx, the ice stone. Gives user power over ice. But 'ren isn't ice just frozen water?" asked the little prince plaintively.
"Yes it is, but they have different properties."
"Oh."
Legolas then pulled out a semi-transparent crystallized quartz. "Agate, the portal stone. Allows user to transport themselves, or someone else, to another place. Very hard to use and very dangerous. User must have full health, and no injuries or anything to distract them. User must also be able to picture the place clearly."
The next gem was a translucent glassy gem. "Beryl, illusion stone. Allows user to place an illusion over a small group of people or objects. Drains energy."
" Good. And the last stone?"
Legolas pulled out the last stone from the bag. It was a colorless stone that fit in the palm of his hand. "Diamond, light stone. Now am I done? Can I go now." Legolas whined.
"Hee, hee almost squirt. Do you know about the black stone, the black obsidian? It's powers, are powers of darkness. We do not have any here, but it is extremely powerful, so if you go anywhere that might harbor it, be careful. It will call to you. Now off you go."
"Yay." The young prince raced out of the room.
"Don't forget your stones."
Legolas ran back in and grabbed the bag, tying it about his waist while he made his way to the stables.
Once he managed to get to the stables, he slowed down. He walked inside slowly so as not to scare the horses. After all, they were pretty big, and he was very small. He walked up to the largest horse.
"Hello Lightquick. Can I ride you today?" The horse nickered, which Legolas took as a yes. He climbed atop, the large horse, and waited patiently for his Ada to arrive.
Finally, Thranduil made his way into the stables. There he found his youngest son waiting impatiently atop the king's horse Lightquick.
The king grimaced. He had forgotten that he was supposed to take Legolas riding. At the moment things were too busy. He needed to check the southern border patrol, as they hadn't returned yet.
When Legolas saw Thranduil approach, he giggled with glee. "Yay, we can start now." He said.
He raised his arms to Thranduil who gently lifted him down. The king hugged his youngest son, and Legolas wriggled about.
Thranduil then set him on the ground. "Legolas, I'm truly sorry, but we can't go riding today." Thinking it better to be honest with the child he said, "The border patrol hasn't returned, so I need to look for them. It's too dangerous for you. We'll have to go riding another day." He saw the tears threatening to spill from Legolas' eyes, so he said much harsher, "Now don't cry. You don't want to show weakness do you?"
"No Ada." The child said. Legolas wiped his eyes, and watched his father mount Lightquick. He followed the horse out of the barn, and looked as his father rode off. Then he turned, and walked over to the trees, nearby. There he climbed up, and disappeared into the forest.
Ianna, who had bee watching from a nearby tree sighed. 'This is happening more and more often.' She thought. 'As the forest is drawn into darkness, so is father drawn away from us. And Legolas feels it the strongest. He's so sensitive.' She sighed again. 'Well I'd better get Jaren, so we can find Legolas be for he ventures too far into the forest. Hopefull he want's to be found, because if he doesn't then there's a snowball's chance in Mount Doom, that we'll find him.'
She jumped down and went off in search of her older brother.
