Chapter 5
"My princelling. "
The blond elf bowed in respect before Legolas.
"We have bad news, the human girl. -Ralita !" cut Legolas' crystal voice.
"What happened to her ? -She is dead. We found her body in the forest, half eaten by spiders."
Horror and an infinite sadness appeared on Legolas ' face, but he immediately took a hold of those emotions and buried them deep in his soul.
"You may retire" Legolas said in an emotion-less voice despite the stinging pain in his heart.
The blond elf left the room and as soon as he closed the door behind him, Legolas collapsed on his bed. Tears sprung to his beautiful, blue eyes.
"She is dead" the horrible truth couldn't leave his mind.
He sat up.
"Because of me ! I should not have left her alone!"
He blamed himself all night and cried hundreds more tears.

At dawn, Legolas went to see his father, king Thranduil, for the council of Mirkwood where they would talk about the shadow growing on the forest.
"That is a good thing Elves do not need much sleep, my son. -Excuse me father ? -I know *everything* that is happening in Mirkwood, and I know you spent all night thinking of that human girl and her death. But being immortal must mean you are going to see many of your friends die. Anyway, you should not blame yourself for what happened."
Legolas looked at Thranduil with sad and weary eyes.
In front of his father, he could drop that mask of proudness that he wore all the time and which hid most of his emotions, like all other elves.
The King had always understood his son's feelings, and there he knew Legolas wasn't well.
Elves, even if they're immortal, can easily die of a broken heart.
"It *is* my fault, I definitely should not have left her alone. I even told her she could walk around ! It is all my fault !"
And Legolas rushed out, he didn't want his father, the King, to see him cry.
Next chapter soon ( I hope )
