Thank You



Legolas woke up to find someone opening the drapes of his bed. A bright light blinded him for a few minutes, before his eyes adjusted to the brightness of his room. The large room consisted of only the colors white and silver. He heard footsteps and turned to see a large elf coming to him. "Oh, you've finally awaken. Are you feeling better?" She spoke in a concerned voice. "Yes, but where am I?" Legolas had drawn a blank. All he could remember was when he had been seperated from his group in the storm and had been attacked by a huge wolf. He also remembered the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen staring at him. But that made no sense. What had happened after he killed the wolf? All of it was cloudy in his head. Then he remembered," My friends!" He started to jump from the bed but the elf held him back down.

"Do not worry, we found them. They are at this very minute down in the great hall eating breakfast." Legolas calmed down a bit and then remembered his first few quanderies."But Where am I? How did I get here?" She took a seat at the bottom of his bed. "You are in the castle of the White Forest, home of the snow elves. By the means of which you got here,our princess would have to take the credit. She found you unconscience in the forest. Lucky she was there or you might of been a dead elf right now. It was mighty cold out that night." Legolas thought for a minute. That night? "How long have I been here?" "This be the fourth day," she replied. "We've repaired your clothing, so you can get dressed and come on down and eat if you'd like. I'm sure your friends would like to see you. When your done dressing just ring the bell and I'll come back in and show you the way." With that she left the room.

Legolas got up and found a bandage wrapped around his chest. Careful as to not screw it up, he got dressed in his clothes which were at the bottom of the bed, and rang the bell. The elf healer he assumed came in. She led him down the hallway outside of the door and then turned right at the end of it down a staircase. Once at the bottom, she left him and went back to the healers room. The great hall had quite a few elves in it. The table at the front was where he found his friends and he assumed the royal family from the look of it. "Legolas!," his friends yelled and jumped up from their seats and patted him on the back careful as to not hurt his wound. Finally they all sat down again. Legolas, turned to the king and queen and bowed to them. "Have a seat Prince Legolas. I am King Gavin and this is my wife Queen Emithae." The king introduced Legolas to all at the table which included his son Variel.

After all were introduced and Legolas was served a plate he was ready to thank someone but wasn't sure who." King Gavin.." "Just call me Gavin Legolas." " All right, Gavin, I was let known your daughter saved my life and yet I do not know where she is so that I might thank her." Variel spoke up, " You'll most likely not be finding her here. She gets up and eats breakfast before anyone. Nuinregwen's most likely out in the forest right now like always." "Oh," Legolas spoke," We'll likely be leaving after breakfast. We have to get back to Mirkwood. I must thank you though for all that you have done. We appreciate it a lot. I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet your daughter and thank her though. I owe her my life."

After breakfast Legolas and his friends/guards left the castle and worked their way through the White Woods. Although, Legolas had the feeling they were being watched the whole way and he had a faint idea of who it might be. Finally once they got to the edge of the wood Legolas whispered ever so softly, "Thank you Princess." When he was about to start off at full pace again he could of sworn he heard, "Your welcome."
