***~Disclaimer I give full credit to Tolken since he is the mastermind behind Middle-earth and all of his infamous characters. I have invented a few people of my own. I have not yet read the third book The Return of the King so sorry if anything doesn't match the books. Plus it's fun to add twits makes the stories more real.~***

It had been years since the ring had been destroyed and for some reason Legolas just wasn't happy. The quest had been fulfilled and things were looking up in Middle Earth but his homeland wasn't the same. He missed his friends that died in battle. He missed the quick breeze of an elf running passed. He missed watching the young elves practicing a new move they learned. He missed the archery contests (Not that he needed another plaque). Many of the elves that had returned home died soon after, they only had strength enough to return home. The sadness that flowed through his veins was overpowering and for the first time Legolas returned to his home and began to cry. Being royalty no one disturbed him and before he even realized a year had passed. Legolas decided that he could no longer stay in Mirkwood. Rivendell and Lothlorien didn't seem to satisfy his heart either. Gondor seemed to be calling his name. Aragorn and Arwen, he longed to see his friends again. He knew that his father would soon pass. The sorrow of losinghis mother was too much for him to handle. His father would want him to marry. But he could not. He just couldn't be happy now. His only option was to leave Mirkwood forever. Maybe even the elf world forever. If he was not happy now that the ring had been destroyed then how could he ever be happy.
He needed a few items before he set of for Gondor. He decided that today he would personally go to the shops. He moved from shop to shop trying diligently not to be seen. When he decided that he had all the supplies that he needed for his long journey he returned home. Then he heard someone coming up quick behind him. He didn't feel like talking but he knew that he had no chance for escape.
"Legolas, I'm glad you have decided."
"I've made no decision"
"Your not getting married?"
"Kiara, you know I do not wish to be wed."
"Did someone turn you down? Was it Rinolda?, or Eyonay? Maybe Shildka?"
"I've asked none"
"Then what reason for all the supplies"
"I'm going to visit Aragorn."
"You always said that banishment was a fate worst then death. Why then are you leaving?"
"Then can be no happiness in it."
"Your eyes deceive you. You are not just going to visit Aragorn. Worry not your secret is safe."
Legolas continued into his room and packed his bag. He walked to the field and found Arod who seemed glad to see his elf friend. He mounted Arod with a quick sleek motion. They took off from Mirkwood. Legolas never turned his head back. Yet he could hear Kiara's mournful tears. He knew that she would keep his secret even if it killed her. For the burden that she carried was tremendous. When the elves went looking for the king he would be nowhere. maybe he would join Aragorn's army there his skill would be used and maybe he would feel better. Legolas was so deeply lost in his thought that he almost missed a young girl who was hiding in the bushes. But his skills which lay unmatched noticed the young girl and Arod stopped at Legolas's command. "Hello there" Legolas rang out. The girl sent no reply. "I said hello" Legolas tried again only using a softer tone.
"I speak to no human." the girl replied hatefully.
"Then you may speak to me young one."
"How dare you? I've never been so insulted."
"How did I offend you?"
"I'm not young. I'm nearing my three thousandth year."
"I'm sorry I did not mean to offend you? Are you traveling as well?"
" I'm traveling to see Aragorn I heard that he is a wise and fair man. He maybe able to help me with my problem. The prince of the elves was in solitude and wouldn't see me that stuck up..."
Legolas quickly cut her off, "I too am on my way to see Aragorn with a trouble of my own. Would you like to travel with me?"
"No, how do I know your intentions."
"Believe what you must. I shall continue on alone."
"Wait, I am tired and I will pay you back somehow."
"There is no need. I ask only one thing."
"Which is?"
"Your name?"
"Is that all? I am called Camille. That's "Cam" as in camel and "ille" as in eel. And your name?"
"Le....nion Grenfield." he wanted so much to hear more about hyshe thought that he was not a good enough rince that she must turn to Aragorn for help," Enough with the formalities we should be off."
