A/N: I do not own Lord of the Rings. Except Danielle, Cloud, Ariena and
Loreth.
Kiya Kideackiy: Thank you for reviewing.
And to the person who is nameless: Of course you wouldn't know where Softgale is, it's a made up place! In my story, it's close to Mirkwood, around a day's gallop in a fast horse.
Chapter Two
"Legolas, tell me, do you have any plans of settling down, and starting a family?" asked Aragorn. Arwen had asked him to ask Legolas.
They were in the archery field, looking at the recently recruited soldiers practicing their archery.
"Why do you ask, friend?" Legolas asked, truly confused.
"I am just wondering."
"A strange wonder it is. If the answer you seek is either a yes or a no, I have to disappoint you, for I do not know the answer myself. As you know, my first one has gone, and found herself a better man, and I cannot go through the pain of loving someone again, and then risk losing that love."
Aragorn mentally kicked himself in the shins. Of course he should've thought of this before. Legolas had spoken of his first love, only once, and it had been to the Fellowship, when they were camping during their quest to destroy the ring, before the Fellowship had been destroyed. It had been a sad tale indeed.
"I am sorry friend, for bringing that subject up. I did not think." Aragorn apologized.
"No, it is all right, for we are friends, and we are very blunt when we voice our opinions." Legolas said with a smile. "Come, let us talk of happier things, of better things."
"Such as?"
"Such as, when is Arwen going to bear your first child?" Legolas jested.
"What?" Aragorn said in mock surprise.
They both burst out laughing.

"Do you think this is such a good idea, Danielle, going through the local market without a guard?" asked Arwen.
"Arwen, my dear cousin, do you not trust me, Danielle, to protect you?" Danielle exclaimed in mock shock.
Arwen laughed at that.
"No, my cousin, but I am worried about thieves."
"Cousin, do not worry, for you and I both have swords at our sides, and daggers underneath out sleeves. As for money, we do not have much right now. Anyway, where is your sense of adventure?"
"I have plenty, but I also have plenty of common sense." Arwen shot back.
Danielle just laughed. Then she spotted a stall which had books. She and Arwen took one glance at it, then, laughing, raced towards it, forgetting that they were ladies of the court.
***
Legolas was in the palace library, thinking of his first love, Ariena. In most ways, she looked like Danielle.
'They look almost like sisters. They resemble each other too much.' he thought. Legolas sighed, when he remembered the day. It had been a few weeks before the King, his father, had commanded him to go to the council of Elrond.
"Ariena? Come, tell me why your face seems troubled." Legolas said to her. It was at dusk, the sun was setting, and the sky was red, turning to orange.
"My dear prince, I do not wish to be the bearer of bad news, but if I have to, I will." She said.
Legolas was puzzled. But with a smile, he said,
"Bearer of bad news? Ariena, you are the bearer of good news. Even seeing you is good news."
Ariena looked at Legolas straight in the eyes, and said,
"Legolas, I do not love you anymore. Leave me be. I now love another."
Legolas thought that the world would end then.
"Who?" he managed to croak out. "Who? Who do you love? Tell me why you do not love me."
"I love your cousin, Leroth. Why do I not love you? It is simple. I need a man who does not shut himself in the library, every day, studying maps, or meeting with allies of Mirkwood. I need a man who knows how to have fun, who can hunt, who can bring his lady love animal furs of which himself has hunted alone, only with his hunting dogs. You do not hunt. You do not bring me animal furs. You do not have fun." she said, heartlessly.
"Then, you and I were never to become a match. We were never meant to be. I wish you happy days with Leroth. Goodbye, ladylove of my cousin." Legolas said, then, giving her a stiff bow, he walked to his chambers.
Ariena slowly sank to the floor.
Legolas smiled ruefully to himself.
Yes, he thought, she does not love me. And though I do not wish to think so, I am not sure if I am over the thought of her leaving me. Alone.

A/N: How was it? In my personal opinion, it sucked. Oh well, at least you know the part of his lost love. Please reply. The names: Loreth, I just thought of them, as I wrote the fic. And the name Ariena, I used it for my personal fics, which I might post. So just in case you didn't know, or didn't read the A/N at the top of the page, Ariena belongs to me. And so does Loreth, and Danielle. OK Bye! Remember to reply!
