First Meeting
~Legolas~
My father wanted me to go to Rivendell for two years. There I could practise my skills.
I had never been there before and didn't know Lord Elrond. Yes, I had heared very much about him but I was
pretty excited. I had never been away from Mirkwood for so long.
Now we were nearly there.
My father could see my nervousness and smiled gently. "Don't worry, Legolas. I'm sure you will like Lord Elrond.
And I will come to visit you as often as I can."
I was slightly ashamed. Of course I didn't want him to think that I was childish. At that time I was 103 years old
and still very young for an Elf.
Again my father smiled. "Don't be ashamed. When my father sent me away for the first time I was nervous, too.
That's understandable."
About an hour later we arrived in Imladris.
It was more than beautiful.
After a few moments Lord Elrond came to greet us. "Hello Thranduil. I'm glad that you are here."
"Hello, my friend." He turned to me. "This is Legolas."
"Welcome to Imladris, Legolas."
"Thank you, Lord Elrond."
"Please call me Elrond. Come in. It's late and you must be tired from the journey. I will guide you to your rooms."
As he opened the door to my room he asked: "If you don't like it I can give you another room. After all you'll live
there for the next two years."
I shook my head. "No, it's beautiful. Thank you."
He nodded and left.
Father had been right, I liked him. Maybe the next two years would not be too bad.
As I came for breakfast in the next morning the others were already there. Beside my father Lord Elrond there
were two dark-haired Elves who had to be twins, an Elven Lady and another blond Elf.
Elrond smiled as he looked at me. "Good morning, Legolas. These two are my sons Elrohir and Elladan, my
daughter Arwen and my oldest friend Glorfindel."
I nodded poitely. "Good morning."
After the breakfast Elrond turned to Glorfindel. "Thranduil and I have many things to talk about. Would you please
show Legolas around?"
He nodded. "Sure."
"And do you like Imladris?" Glorfindel asked after we had finished our walk.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
I liked the other Elf very much.
As we walked into the garden he pointed to a big place with some targets. "And there I will teach you how to
improve your skills in sword fighting and how to use a bow. Did you ever use a bow?"
"Very seldom. Father prefers the sword. I didn't know that you would teach me everything."
He smiled. "Sometimes Lord Elrond will practise with you to see your advances. I hope that's alright for you."
"Of course. I was only surprised." I sighed. "I hope I won't dissapoint him or my father."
Suddenly I felt his hand on my shoulder and than he smiled at me. "Don't worry. Elrond is very patient and your
father told me that you were talented. I'm sure you will make him proud. We will begin next week when you have
settled in a little."
