Chapter 43
Mirkwood

Legolas woke up from a peaceful, elvish sleep. He was on his balcony, apparently he dosed off. He stood up and stretched his legs. When he relaxed, he wondered if all that had happened to him was a dream. But he looked down from his balcony and saw a girl setting on a tree limb. It was Myian. She waved at him and smiled.

He threw his legs on the edge of the balcony and jumped off. He landed on the ground and walked up to the half-elf maiden. "So it wasn't a dream?" Legolas asked.

"That's what I was going to ask you," Myian said, jumping down from her limb. "I am alive. My life went by so quick... I didn't even see it coming. I guess I can say a new light has come down on me."

"So... when are we going to visit the others? I can't wait to meet Rouge's mother. She would always tell me about her, and how much she missed her," Myian added, starting coversation.

"I was planning on visiting Galadriel in Lorien sometime soon. She offered me a great feast in my honor. How could I resist?" Legolas asked, giving a white smile. "Would you acompany me when I do decide to go fair maiden of Mirkwood?" Legolas asked sarcasticly, bowing down slightly and offering her his hand... treating her like a princess.

She gave her most innnocent look and acted like she was blushing. "How could I refuse one so handsome?" She asked, giving a small chuckle. "I think I might faint form happiness," Myian said, throwing her head back, putting the back of her hand on her forehead for a dramatic look.

"Then I am afraid you will a hard landing," Legolas added, smirking a little.

Myian and Leoglas continued their joking and mocking of people in love, until Legolas was called form afar. "Legolas!" A voice from up in room. Legolas smiled a little when he saw his father looking down from his balcony. His father smiled at the girl who he was with, down below in the gardens.

Myian lowered her head, showing her submission to the King of Mirkwood. "Yes, father?" Legolas asked. "We will no longer have to move our Kingdom to Valinor!" Myian gave a sly look to Legolas as he replied. "Whatever for?" He asked, giving his most realistic confused tone.

"The power of the rings have returned! We are once again governed by the rings!"

Legolas then turned to Myian, who still had her head hung low. "Father," he said. The King listened a little more closely. "This is Myian," He turned and put a hand on her shoudler. "It is o'kay, you may lift your head."

She looked up at the king and smiled. "Legolas," the king said. "As soon as you are done with your meeting with her, I need a word with you." He then walked from the balcony and waited in Legolas' chambers.

"So, I will leave now and let you speak with your father, I need to be getting home now anyways," Myian said, nodding her head and dismissing herself from the Royal Garden.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" Legolas asked. Myian turned and smiled at him. "If it is what you wish, my Prince," Myian said, giving him a small wink and disappearing in the trees.

Legolas then walked throught the Garden towards the Palace. He walked through the corriders and up stairs until he came to his room. King Thranduil ran to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I am glad ot see you so happy, my son. Tell me... is she the one?" The King anxiously asked. Legolas gave a small smirk and answered.

"No father, she is just a close friend...."

"How close?" He asked his son.

"We have just been throgh alot together," he said, trying not to reveal anything about his adventure.

"I guess you could call it a love of a different kind," was Legolas' final words....

*Sob* This is the end of this story. All is well, no? But there is of course that sequal. I will not have much to do with this storyline though. I just use writing as my way of expressing myself... well that and drama.
I might write a small fanfic on Legolas-as-a-slave. I had a lot of fun with the alternate world in this fic. Legolas makes a good slave ^_~
Or maybe I will just fit it in with my sequal. Tell me what you think! And I suspect if I make a better summary, I will get more reviews! So if anybody would like to help me out, leave it on my review board or e-mail it to me. It bugs me that stories with 10 chapters have almost three times as many reviews as me o|
I will also start to revise it, adding more detail and maybe some more events, so when Im done,I recomend you re-read it!
