Yay, I'm back in action. ^_^

The royal children made their way back to Mirkwood's castle, with the Istari. Once they entered their home, Thranduil made his way over to them, ignoring the advisors that crowded around him.
"Why in the world did you leave without notifying anyone of your whereabouts? What if Mithrander hadn't been there, then what would you have done? Would you have walked home in the company of spiders?" asked the irate king.
The children turned scarlet from embarrassment, and Legolas looked as if he was about to cry. Fortunately Thranduil noticed this, and cut off his tirade to comfort the elfling.
"Legolas it's okay. I'm not mad at you. I was just really worried. I am truly sorry for not being able to go riding with you. Do you forgive me?" He hunkered down so that he was eye level with the distraught elfling.
Legolas looked up at his father and nodded. Thranduil grinned and stood up.
"Mithrander I must thank you for returning them to me safely. I really worried for them."
"Oh it's quite al right. Now if I remember correctly Elrond is sending an envoy, next month to speak of lending you some of his forces in your battle against the darkness of Dol Guldur."
"That is correct."
"Ah well then, I suppose that I might stay then. I do wish to speak with Glorfindell myself."
"Are you so sure that the barlog-slayer would come here. He is not well known for his fondness of Mirkwood."
"I know it as a fact. Now, on to pleasanter matters. If I remember correctly there is a birthday party coming up in a couple of days. I believe that I arrived just in time. After all, it's not every day that twins turn 1000." He winked at the king when Ianna gasped.
"You mean you came here just for that?" she asked surprised.
"Of course I did."
She squealed in delight, which was completely unlike her.
After Thranduil sent the children off, he and Mithrander sat down to talk.
"I'm sure that you know why I'm really here Thranduil. It's not completely pleasant business that I attend to."
The king sighed. "I know. If at all possible, I would like to keep it a little longer. I truly miss her. I could give it to you when you leave?" He asked hopefully.
Mithrander shook his head. "I am sorry, but I'll need it before then. You can give it to me at the birthday party. However, I'm afraid that I can not let it stay here any longer than that. I can promise that one of your children will wield it one day. I hope that that is a comfort."
Thranduil nodded and they moved on to happier subjects.

Sorry that this isn't longer.
The next chapter will either be the last one, or the next to last one. I'm not exactly sure. But I will be starting on another that goes with this story line.
Thanks to my reviewers.
angelbird12241: Thank you.
PokethePenguin: ^_^ Thank you. Yea Ianna is cool isn't she. By the way I love your name. ^_^
leann: He's supposed to have the bag with all the stones.
farflung: Yea I did want to bring that up again. I think that only Mussassi will remain the only one that harbors any dislike for him in the future though. Yes there will be fireworks in the Party chapter. ^_^
Thanks for reviewing.
Please review.
