The Last
Legolas woke up early and got dressed and left his room. He was walking down the hallway to the great hall for some breakfast when a maid scurried by and nearly ran him over. "Sorry, Prince Legolas." she mumbled out looking at the ground. "It's quite alright. What's the rush ayways?" "Didn't you here all the commotion last night? An elf came from the Wite Forest badly wounded and said they had been attacked." Before she had even finished her sentence, Legolas was heading towards Elronds office. The door was already opened and he peeked in. Elrond was sitting in his chair. Legolas came in and bowed and then sat in a chair. Lord Elrond spoke first."I see you've finally heard about the attack on the snow elves?" Legolas nodded. "How bad was the damage?" Lord Elrond's face saddened." Tuilne`, sent me message by hawk this morning when he got there. The orcs had already left. The castle was in ashes and there were no survivors except for the one who came last night."
Legolas was deeply saddened remembering how kind the snow elves were to him. They had saved his life. He was suddenely angered. "Why were they attacked? I haven't even heard of the snow elves creating any such conflict with anything. I didn't even know they existed until a couple of weeks ago." "Yes, the lives of the snow elves had been kept much a secret. Nobody has ever known where they lived. I'm taking a guess though that the attack on them has to do with the same topic of which we will discuss at the council when it takes place. Now though, I must take you to see the last of the snow elves."
The two left the office and went into the healers ward. They headed down toward the last bed which was next to a window. Legolas looked into the bed. The elf was a girl. She had scrapes and bruises on her face and she had shadows beneathe her eyes. He was sure she was quite a beautiful elf but the orcs had gotten her good. "Legolas, I need some help with something." He went to a chest next to the bed. He opened it and pulled out a necklace. He brought it back over to Legolas. "Do you recognize this?" It was a silver snowflake with green emeralds and white crystals embedded into it. After he thought about it for a second. He did recognize it. He had noticed that all the members of the royal family had worn it at the castle in the Whit Forest. "I do recognize it. When I was at the castle of the White Forest. When I was eating breakfast I noticed that the King, Queen, and Prince were wearing the exact same necklace. But how could she have gotten it?"
Then it struck him. "This must be the Princess." "I thought just as much but I wasn't sure. I must go, she will be fine but she is going to have a couple of rough nights." Lord Elrond then left the room. Legolas pulled up a chair to her bed. He was looking down at the last snow elf alive and the elf who saved his life. He grabbed hold of her hand with his and held it. He stayed with her everyday like that until she woke up.
