This is the story of the one loved by the Moon.
Chapter I
Prince of Magic
The sunlight bathed Rivendell, making the trees have a golden look, the wind was strong and cold despite the Sun and it was able to feel a melancholic atmosphere.
It was early in the morning when Elrond headed to Legolas' rooms. The lord elf knew that something was disturbing the young prince deeply and he didn't like to see the kind and reserved elf so sad, after all he was his sons' best friend and he loved him like a third son.
"It's really a shame that Elladan and Elrohir are not here, they would be able to comfort him" he thought, unfortunately the twins were hunting a group of orcs that where causing troubles in the roads from Rivendell to Lothlorién. He sighed as he reached Legolas' door. After knocking a couple of times he waited but there was not answer, he frowned and knocked again with the same result
"Legolas?" He asked entering at last. The room was dark, for the curtains weren't open yet and there was not sign of the fair prince. Elrond began to worry and when he approached to the balcony what he saw took his breath away: The young elf was lying in the cold floor with nothing more than his sleep shirt, he was hugging his knees tightly and was crying and trembling badly.
"By the Valar, child.!" He said anguished, he knelt next to him and put a hand on his shoulder, Legolas looked at him confused
"Lord Elrond, I...I..." but there were no words. How can he explain what the lord had seen?
"What troubles you, child?"
"I... It's nothing, I can assure you" but the despair in his dark blue eyes didn't meant that
"Legolas, don't you trust me?"
"With my life! I meant no offense, but I really can't talk about this" he was still trembling but Elrond was too busy trying to have an answer for notice it
"If we keep the things that bother or hurt us we are killing ourselves inside" The lord said looking into the prince eyes, Legolas wanted to look away, but he was too proud to do it.
"It's just a dream, a nightmare..."
"Legolas! You are a dreamgazer, what you dream of is not merely a dream, it's the future!" Elrond said grabbing the young prince from his shoulders, that was when he noticed that he was trembling, he put his hand on his forehead... it was cold
"Come now child" he said hugging him tightly "You must talk about this dream, maybe it is of great importance..."
"The dream only concerns me, for it is about myself" Legolas said angry, again the people was worry for his dream, not for him
"Legolas you know that I am worry for you" the older elf said as if reading his mind "I love you like a son, not because of being a dreamgazer, not because you are the son of my best friend, not even because you are like a brother to my sons, I care for you because you are you"
"I know" Legolas was holding his tears
"At least tell your father, he always understands you" Legolas nodded, he wouldn't do that but it was pointless to discuss with the Lord of Imladris
"Now come, it's too cold here"
*****
Aragorn was walking through the corridors of Rivendell enjoying the beautiful sight when he noticed Elrond heading in his direction; it was midday, but the weather hadn't improved at all.
"Father" he called, but the Lord was deep in his thoughts "Father, is everything alright?" He asked getting closer
"Ah, Estel it's you"
"What's happening? You seem worried"
"Yes. I'm afraid Legolas is not well" Damn, the human thought, Legolas again. He had never liked the blond elf, for he always had seen him like an obstacle to get closer to his foster family.
"Well, he is always melancholic, you don't need to worry"
"No Estel, this time is different. I'm sure that he has dreamt something very disturbing. And he doesn't want to tell anyone"
"If you want I could talk to him"
"No, better leave him be for a while, when he feels that he is ready he will tell us"
"But what if that dream is something important? As you have said, his premonitions always fulfill"
"If he dreamt something that concerns the well being of someone he already have talked. Estel, please remember, he had been the favorite of the Moon since he was born, he knows how to use his powers. Although he looks like a child he is none." At least not for you, the Lord thought. He loved his human foster son as well as the prince of Mirkwood, and like a father with his younger son, he wanted that Estel looked at Legolas as an older brother, not a younger one.
"Alright, father. As you wish"
"I must get prepared for the council, it's taking place tomorrow and I don't want anything misplaced" Aragorn bowed and when the lord had left he went to look at Legolas, he didn't like to disobey his father, and he usually didn't do it, but he was worried for his father, Elrond seemed to be too preoccupied... He certainly had to talk with the prince.
To be continue...
Don' t forget to REVIEW
A/N: It is said that the MOON is the one who produces the premonitions and all kind of Magic along with Nature.
