Thanks for the cool reviews! Well, you think my chapters are short? I
decided it would be better that way. hehe. but I'll make it a little bit
longer if you guys want to. Sorry, if I changed the original story waaayyyy
too much. it's the essence of fanfic, right?
CHAPTER IV- "Thank You"
Elrond stooped and touched Esilan's forehead. She was brought to her bedchamber and the servants cleaned her scratches and bruises. The sun was almost setting and the pale orange light flooded the room. "I can't thank you enough, Legolas" Elrond stood up. " I was having a feeling that Boromir is someone I cannot entirely trust' Legolas faced Lord Elrond and bowed. "It's not much, Lord Elrond. It's the least I can do for my. fiancé." His gaze shifted to Esilan's sleeping face. Peacefulness painted on her closed eyes and the color almost returned to her cheeks. Aragorn entered the room and looked at Elrond's daughter. " Boromir is not always untrustworthy. He just let his actions get the best of him. He is the person I know who cannot resist the call of his body." He told the elf-lord. "Very well." Elrond said at last. " I will again allow Boromir to set foot in my kingdom, but he should always remember that I have the power in this land." With that he left and Aragorn followed him. Legolas was left with Esilan in the room. Dusk began to set in and the waning moon illuminated the sky. Legolas vowed to himself that he be held responsible for Esilan's safety. He lightly kissed her forehead and left the room.

The sun rose the next day and Rivendell came back to life. The dew on the grass, the birds and butterflies, the cool breeze. Everything seemed to be. alive.
Her father instantly summoned Esilan, the moment she got up. Putting on the brown and green garb, she went to her see the elf-lord. "Good morning, father" she said as she sat across him. "How are you feeling, Esilan?" her father asked. She breathed deeply and looked at the fading bruises on her wrist. " Already better." She answered and smiled. Elrond stared at her and his eyes smiled. "You look just like your mother" he said softly. Esilan blushed and looked at her lap. " But she really is more beautiful" she cleared her throat and looked away. " Father, I feel bad about not being told the truth about my existence when I was younger. I understand now why. But I feel that there was something I still need to know. Who am I, really? Why did you sent me here?" she finally asked. Elrond's jaw dropped. (Just kidding!) " I figured you should know" he began, She gulped; she knew that this is going to be another shocking revelation. "King Thranduil, Legolas' father has always been my good friend. He asked me during your birth that if it could be possible, you would bear Legolas an heir. Someone to rule the Sindar Elves when the time comes." Esilan dropped her quiver and the arrows fell to the floor. Her words were stuck to her throat. "Does he know about this?" she croaked. Lord Elrond nodded. "I told him yesterday. Almost at the same time during Borormir's assault." Esilan groaned. Did he have to remind me about that?! " So he knew." Gandalf entered the room. "We will have the council in a few moments, Lord Elrond." He said and smiled at Esilan. She smiled back at the old wizard. "I will go know, please think about it." Her father left and she slumped at her chair.

Night came, the council ended hours ago. Legolas retired to his room and thought about the day's event. He agreed to go with Frodo to Mount Doom along with the fellowship. and with Boromir. They were set to leave in a few days. His room was dark. The pale light from the moon cascaded through his window, the only light in the room. He felt something move in the corner and he sat up. " Who's there?" he asked. It moved again, towards his bed this time. "Did I frightened you, Prince Legolas?" the voice came. Legolas sighed and he was flooded with relief. "What are you doing here, Esilan?" he asked. She moved closer and Legoas gasped when she climbed his bed. " I came to say thank you."
