A/n:

Aragorn, followed Lord Elrond silently. The moment they reached the study, Elrond motioned for him to close the door and sit down.

'Please forgive him'

'Why did he attack me?'

Elrond sighed and walked over to the window over looking a small courtyard.

'He is not my son by blood, Aragorn. His parents were murdered a millennia ago, he was brought here to be raised by me'

Aragorn shook his head.

'But why did he attack me, I am not the one who killed his parents'

Elrond walked over to his desk and leaned into Aragorn's face.

'T'was the massacre of Mirkwood, Aragorn…his parents were the Kind and Queen…'

Aragorn's eyes widened.

'You mean…That's Prince Legolas?'

'Aye'

Aragorn shook his head again and looked around him. He had been told of the massacre of Mirkwood, when his father had innocently killed the elves of Mirkwood looking ofr the princeling…why nobody knew. He had killed the majority of, not only the royals but the servants, guards, and civilians. Of course, it was not ONLY Arathorn, he had brought together a strong army.

'Aragorn, are you listening?'

Aragorn jumped before nodding. There was a knock on the door and Elladan's head popped around it.

'Father, sorry for…interrupting. Legolas isn't in his room, or any other rooms for that matter…and we checked the stables too'

Elrond jumped up and looked at Aragorn.

'I am so sorry, but you would not mind if I left for a few minutes?'

'Of course not, Lord Elrond… I shall wait'
