Chapter 4 Fate of many
Legolas starred at Aragorn blankly, he had never heard so much worry in the man's voice in a long time. "What is so important?" Aragorn took a deep breath. He didn't know how to tell the elf. What if Legolas was not in trouble, what if all of his dreams were nothing but dreams? "Legolas, for the past few weeks I have had the same dream over and over again. I think you are in trouble." The elf regarded the man curiously; he knew what ever was in the man's dreams disturbed him greatly. "What kind of trouble Aragorn?" The man took a deep breath again. This was it; he hoped that Legolas believed him and did not think that he was just over reacting. "I think that you are going to die." Shock and concern filled Legolas's mind. "Die?" he said uneasily. "What makes you think this?" "I do not know, all I know is that you, we will be facing an unknown foe, and you get killed. Then an elf girl says listen to my laughter an kills me." Legolas took a deep breath; the thought of the dark beings came into his mind. "The dark beings" he whispered to himself. Aragorn looked at his friend, he didn't know how Legolas would react and he hoped that the elf didn't think him foolish. The prince looked back at his friend, he didn't know what to say. The only thing he could do was wait and see if what Aragorn had dreamt came true. "Are you ok Legolas?" The elf looked at his friend, his expression unreadable. "Yes, quite. I hope you don't have this disturbing dream again." Aragorn nodded slightly, "Me too, on another note, where are you going in such a hurry?" The elf prince was still in his own thoughts about what his friend had told him, after a minute he acknowledged Aragorn's question. "I am just going to get ready for the council meeting this afternoon. Luckily the chambers were cleaned out after the flooding." "That is good to hear, then you can go tell your father the good news." Aragorn said with a slight smile. "I was planning on taking a detour to Lothlorien, to se if I can also get the assistance of Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel." "You know Haldir will be there, and you two fight like wild animals over a fresh kill." Legolas frowned at the man's evaluation. Yes it was true that the two elves did not get along, but it was only to be expected, considering that the Lorien elf was one of his brother's best friends. "We are not that bad, and besides I will cross that bridge when I come to it." Legolas said confidently, a little to confidently for his own liking. Aragorn shrugged, "if you say so. I better get ready for the council session my self. I will see you there." With that the ranger left Legolas alone, he felt better knowing that Legolas was now aware of the fact that his life may be in danger. He just hoped that it was just a dream and that his friend would live through what ever battles were before him.
Elladan walked down the corridor towards Legolas's room, he had promised to meet up with his friend before the council session. He was glad that the meeting was going ahead, because it gave him something to do for a few hours, plus the prince could return to his father with the support of Rivendell. Suddenly his younger brother shoved him against the wall violently. "What is your problem?" Elladan said in a displeased tone. His younger brother glared at him, the expression of the younger elf was enough to scare a Balrog away. "You know what's wrong," He snarled. Elladan sighed, "If it's about what happened earlier, I'm sorry." The younger elf scoffed and moved away from his older brother. "I'm not that stupid enough to carry on playing childish games. Why do you support the prince? All that is going to come out of this is war, and I don't mean with the foe that the prince speaks of, but with Mirkwood. It will not aid us in future struggles to join forces with a mad man." Elladan had heard enough, he pushed his brother off of him and straightened out his robes. "You have no right to say that about a fellow ruler. Yes we all know Legolas's father has problems, even you should be smart enough to comprehend that. I will support Legolas no matter what the rest of Rivendell decides." With that the older twin stormed off down the corridor leaving Elrohir to his thoughts.
Legolas sat on his bed, a look of frustration played across his fair face. He had to be at the council meeting soon and he still wasn't ready. He stood up and walked over to the wardrobe and took out a long dark green silk shirt, and matching velvet leggings. He dressed quickly, making sure not to mess his hair up. He just finished putting his boots on when Elladan walked through the door, he shook his head and went and leaned against the wall. "Could you be any slower? We may live forever, (unless we get killed in battle, but that's besides the point) but the council will not." Elladan said with an impatient sigh. Legolas glared at his friend, then went over to the wardrobe and grabbed his long, sleeveless, dark green over coat. "Now I am ready, and for your information I didn't take very long." Elladan laughed to himself as Legolas walked past him in his most dignified manor, with that the two elves mad there way to the council chamber. Few words were shared between the two friends, and with in a few minutes the sound of voices could be heard clearly over the sound of the running water.
Elladan went and sat in his chair next to his fathers, and Legolas went and sat in one of the vacant chairs directly opposite of Lord Elrond's. A few of the higher-ranking council members bowed their heads at Legolas; Lord Glorfindel entered the council chamber. His long blonde hair was brushed back neatly and pulled back in to many ornately braided sections and his dark crimson and wine colored robes flowed round his gracefully with every step he took. Legolas looked up when he sensed the other elf's approach, he noticed that Lord Glorfindel had a pained look that played across his and that the older elf had a slight limp. The prince stood up and bowed then returned to his seat. Lord Glorfindel did the same and sat in the seat next to Legolas; the prince straightened out his green coat and cleared his throat. "So I see that your father needs the aid of Rivendell once again." he spoke softly so that only Legolas could hear him. The younger elf looked at Lord Glorfindel, the older elf's slate blue eyes stared straight ahead. The prince turned his gaze to the small stream that flowed round the back of the council chamber, the fall leaves that fell from the overhanging trees were carried away by the gentle current. Glorfindel turned his attention to Legolas, he spoke softly again. "What is your father going to do once he has worn out his welcome? Who will he look to for help when the Rivendell community is tired of helping and then getting nothing in return?" Legolas's icy blue eyes bore down on the elder like an animal to a fresh kill; the Lord locked gazes with the prince. Legolas looked away first, and began to watch the remaining seats being filled by numerous elven council members. "Ever since my mother passed I have come to you for guidance, I do not agree with every thing my father does, but I know he means well. He's still having trouble straightening his life out and trying to be a leader at the same time." Glorfindel sighed and sat back in his chair, he knew how stubborn the prince could be, and he had learned all about the prince's stubbornness when Thranduil had decided to send Legolas to live in Rivendell just after the death of his beloved wife and Legolas's mother. Before the elder could reply Lord Elrond entered the council chamber, with Elrohir close behind him. Aragorn and Arwen followed a few paces behind the Lord and his youngest son. All the council members stood up and bowed, then waited for Lord Elrond to sit down. "We are here today, because there is a new threat that is upon our woodland kin of Mirkwood." The elves began to whisper amongst themselves, Elrond waited before he continued. "I present to you the prince of Mirkwood, who most of us know fairly well, Legolas." He gestured with his hand for Legolas to stand up and address the council; the prince complied and stood up. "Thank you my lord," he took a deep breath before he continued "As you know I have been sent here many a time to do my fathers bidding, and now yet again the people of Mirkwood are in need of your assistance. For the past six months there has been a dark cloud that is coming ever closer to my home. Scouts spotted dark beings in the foothills of the mountains" "Spiders that's all it is." One of the council members scoffed, Legolas ignored the comment and continued. " When scouts were sent to investigate, they were gone for months, then when the few survivors returned, they were ill and there wounds were infected." Nervous whispers rose from the council, Aragorn shot a worried glance Legolas's way. After all the elves had finished conferring with each other the prince continued. "My father has had some of his best researchers see if there are any accounts or events from the past that could help us shed some light on what could be happening. There was one prophecy that seems to fit what is happening." Legolas took a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Lord Elrond. The elder read over the words and slowly handed the scroll back to the prince, there was a look of pure shock across his face. The council members gave each other confused and puzzled looks, as they tried to figure out what was so terrible. "The scroll states that the three elven kingdoms under the sky will fall when the one ring, the ring of power reawakens, and the dark lord comes back in to the world." The rest of the council members sat in pure shock; every one was speechless but the silence was soon broken. "Lies, all lies. The dark lord was destroyed three thousand years ago. What makes you think that after all this time Sauron would suddenly decide to re awaken?" Legolas glared at Thindali, "It says that he will in the prophecy states." "I know what the prophecy states but how do we know that your not making this all up and that your father is not making false accusations?" Legolas's eyes narrowed, he pulled up his shirtsleeve to reveal two big wounds that were still not fully healed. "I know this for a fact, because I still carry the wounds from one of the beings claws. I have had these injuries for almost two months and they are still infected, now do you believe me? If you do not help then Rivendell will suffer the same fate as Mirkwood and no doubt Lothlorien too." Thindali sat down in shock, and for once Elrohir had nothing to say. Once again the council members began whispering amongst them selves, finally after half an hour one of the council members went and whispered something to lord Elrond, who seemed to give a nod of agreement. The elf lord stood up and straightened out his robes. "The council has come to a decision, once again Rivendell is willing to help."
A.N- Yeah Legolas got the help of Rivendell, I knew he would. Well the only reason I knew that is because I'm writing the story, oh well. Until chapter 5, and thanks again for the reviews.
