Chapter 16
Jaisia and Kai were shocked awake as they were doused by ice-cold spring water! Screaming, they scrambled to their feet. They both glared at Legolas who was laughing himself silly.
"Good morning!" Legolas snickered.
"Oh, we'll get you for that!" Jaisia threatened.
"That water was freezing!" Kai added. "Let's get him, Jaisia." She nodded and they started towards the still laughing Elf.
Legolas climbed up a tree before they even got close. "If you play pranks on some one then you should be prepared to take the consequences," he said. "Remember this next time you think about tossing me into a river."
"How did you get the water above us in the first place?" Kai demanded.
Legolas smirked. "Look into the branches of the tree you were sleeping under," he said.
The twins looked and saw the leather cloak Kai had given Legolas earlier hanging over a branch. It was still dripping water and a rope was hanging above it.
"You spoke truly. It is waterproof and I definitely used it," Legolas said. Impish laughter still danced in his eyes. He grinned down at them. "Don't be sore losers now."
Finally Kai and Jaisia had to laugh. They both admitted it had been a very clever trick Legolas had pulled on them.
Legolas climbed down then climbed the other tree and retrieved his cloak. After a quick breakfast they were ready to go on to Gondor.
"Get on, Legolas," Kai offered
"I don't think so, I'm the only one dry and I plan to stay that way. I'll walk for now," Legolas said.
They cleaned up their campsite then headed on towards Gondor.
After a month they arrived at the front gates, but were blocked by a guard who gawked at the Centaurs in horror. He aimed his pole arm at them. "No monsters may enter the fair city of Gondor!" he said.
Legolas slid from Kai's back and walked over in front of the guard. "Do you consider me a monster?" he asked.
"No, Prince Legolas, but they are---" the guard began.
"My adopted family, insulting them is insulting me and I imagine King Elessar will not appreciate you insulting me. Do you not agree?" Legolas asked coolly.
"Ah, no, you and your friends may pass, Prince Legolas," the guard said. He hastily moved out of the way. "The king will be most pleased that you've returned."
Legolas entered the city with the twins close behind him. People went silent and stared at the Centaurs and Elf with interest and faint nervousness.
Jaisia was fascinated with the city and the many wonderful things the merchants had to sell. "It's so big and noisy. It's exciting though!! I've never seen a Human city before!!" she breathed.
"I find it exciting too, after we speak to your friend can we return and look around?" Kai asked.
"Of course, Aragorn and Arwen won't mind," Legolas said.
"Who is Arwen?" Kai asked curiously.
"Aragorn's mate," Legolas replied as they arrived at the castle gates.
Don't ya think Aragorn's gonna freak when he meets Legolas' new brother and sister!! More up soon---R/R!!!!
