Chapter 10
Beautiful
Legolas rode on horseback to Mirkwood. Aduialaha's body, wrapped in the finest silk provided by Galadriel, lay on the back of the horse, tied down so he wouldn't fall.
It was the morning after the battle. Legolas felt like he could just jump into the Anduin, like his comrade did, to join his brother. His brother was the only person that knew him and cared about him for who he was. Legolas has three blood relatives in Mirkwood, but he had only one person that was his family. Now Legolas was all alone...
Legolas rode in to the Mirwood forest from the west and traveled a while until he reached the kingdom. He rode slowly through the city, people whispering to each other. Legolas knew that they were wondering who he was, and the few who did know explained him as Thranduil's youngest.
Legolas stopped at the gates of the Palace and slowly entered. A stable boy walked up to him and Legolas dismounted, taking Aduialaha off in holding him close in his arms. Aduialaha was light because of the natural elf trait, but Legolas could feel that he was lighter than normal because his soul was now gone.
Legolas walked up the steps to then Palace and opened the door wit his foot. A servant saw Legolas with the body and lowered hi head. Legolas walked up the entry steps and a guard opened the next door for him. Legolas then walked strait ahead until he reached the throne room.
There Thranduil sat in his throne, reading a document. He looked at Legolas and he grew stiff, dropping the document on the floor.
"Legolas," Thranduil said lightly.
"It is you first born, Thranduil," Legolas said. "He was killed in a battle to protect Lothlorien."
"No," Thranduil said lightly at first, but his tone grew. "No!"
He stood from his throne and ran to Legolas and opening the silk to see his son's face... lifeless.
"How did this happen?" Thranduil asked.
"He took an arrow for me, saving my life and sacrificing his, Thranduil," Legolas said, his face emotionless. "He told me to stay away from the battle... but I disobeyed him.
"Why do you call me, Thranduil?" He asked, taking his eyes from his son and looking at Legolas'. "Am I not your father?"
"You are no father of mine," Legolas told him, putting his brothers corpse in Thranduil's arms. He then turned to leave, but two other figures stood in the doorway, their eyes wide open.
Legolas' two other brothers, Ethuileryn and Angáre, were in shock.
"It is all your fault," Ethuileryn said to Legolas. "You killed our brother!"
"No," Legolas whispered.
"If you would have obeyed him, he would still be here with us!" Yelled Angáre. "We knew you were worthless! Ever since you were born we could tell you would be a disappointment. You were to sheltered by our mother, she made you weak!"
"No," Legolas whispered again.
"You bring shame to our family," Ethuileryn growled. "Maybe we should send you to the hell were you belong!"
"Your are not my family!" Legolas yelled back.
"What did you say?" Angáre asked, nearing to Legolas.
"I said you are not my family!" Legolas yelled again. "Your are nothing to me. I don't even know who you are... I only know your names."
"I'm going to make you eat those words, you un-grateful...," started Angáre, but he was interrupted.
"Silence!" Said Thranduil who remained behind Legolas.
"But father...," Angáre started, but was once again interrupted.
"I told you silence!" Thranduil said, walking forward with Aduialaha in his arms. "What is this helping?"
"You are right, Thranduil," Legolas said, tears forming behind his eyes, but he didn't let them come out. "I will leave."
"Good," Angáre said. "We never want to see you face in this kingdom again!"
Legolas pushed through his two brothers and ran out of the palace, not able to hold back the tears any longer. He ran to the stable and found the boy who had taken his horse earlier. The boy hadn't even put the horse in the stall yet. Legolas jumped on top of her and took off.
His brothers words of hate echoed in his head before he could even leave the forest...
'You killed our brother... worthless... shame to our family... un-grateful..."
"Legolas stopped the horse and grabbed his head. He dug his nails into his head screaming out.
"No!" He cried. "No! I'm not useless!"
He fell of his horse and onto the ground... he wanted his mother... but she couldn't help him now.
He looked at his hands and saw the blood that covered them. His head ached at where his nails dug. Legolas eyes then turned into a distant glare. He just lay on his back, looking into the sun filled sky.
"I will avenge you brother," Legolas said. "I will send them all back to the depths of hell from which they came!"
The words then flooded into his mind again...
Legolas lay on the ground of Mirkwood forest weeping and bleeding until the next day...

Everyday is so wonderful,
But suddenly... it's hard to breathe,
Now and then I get insecure,
From all the pain... I'm so ashamed.
I am beautiful,
No matter what they,
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful,
In every single way,
Words can't bring me down.
So don't you bring me down today...

(A/N: Now that Legolas is own his own... he will have to learn to fend for himself, in other words, no more 'useless' [as his brothers put it] Legolas. This is probably the last time I use songs at the end. I just found the incredibly suitable for the chapters and couldn't resist. I would also like to thank Tenshiamanda and Enigma Jade for their reviews! You guys rock!)
