"He cannot." *Legolas says under his breath, walking away and sitting on a bench in the garden, he mumbles in Elvish and sighs, thinking about the way Boromir acted towards the Ring of Power, he knows Boromir wants it, he'll have to keep a close eye on him. He tries to forget about Boromir for now, he takes in the beauty around him, trying to relax. He sighs after a few minutes and stands up, starting to walk back to the House of Elrond.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*I enter the House of Elrond only to find no one. I sit down and think of home, think of everything, is this really what I am meant to be doing? Is this really my purpose?*
"Legolas, dinner is ready. Will you join us?" *Aragorn asks my politely as he casually walks in*
"I don't think so, go on and eat. I am not very hungry." , I reply.
"Why not, my friend? What is the matter?", asks Aragorn.
"Nothing, I am in deep thought. That is all."
"I see, Legolas, if you have any doubt, we do need you."
"Thank you Aragorn, You are very kind."
"You are a great friend, and a true one at that. I will see you later on."
"Yes, please go eat, do not let me keep you waiting."
"Alright, goodbye." *Aragorn walks out of the room, going to eat dinner.*
*I sigh* "Aragorn has so much purpose, so much passion. Why can I not have that type of passion? Or maybe I do."
"Of course you do, I have seen you in battle." *came a voice from behind me.*
*I turn around, only to find Frodo.* "Thank you, Frodo, I only fight in battle to protect you, a long journey has been set upon you."
"I realize that. But I, the fellowship would get nowhere near where we wanted without you, you play a big part, and a long journey has been set upon you."
"I do not know if this journey is for me, am I really meant for this?"
"I can only tell you that we will need you, you cannot let anyone down, you are meant to be with us."
"Am I? Am I really? How would you know? Do you know what it feels like? Day after day, wondering what I am meant to do here, why I am here. Everyone seems so much more important, what am I to do? Just protect? But everyone will be doing that, what are my services needed for? I think that I have no purpose! And you cannot tell me if I do or do not! You do not know! And you shall never know!" *I yelled angrily*
"Legolas, I was not trying to upset you." *came a scared, small voice from Frodo's mouth*
"I am sorry, Frodo, You did not hurt me. Excuse me for my rudeness."
"Do not be sorry, you have a right to feel like that. No one should hold you back. Feel free to do what you will with your life, I do not ask you to come with, I only ask for your friendship to accompany me on the way."
"Of course I will come, and of course you have my friendship."
"Thank you, see you in a bit." *Frodo walks out to visit Bilbo*
"Your welcome." *I sigh and sit down again, still nothing came to me for a purpose, for hours I drained away there, it slowly killing me and I didn't even notice.*
