Yayyyy!! I *just* my first reviews ever!! Thank you all So So So So So SO much!! I was afraid they might have been flamers! I really appreciated it and now I'm more then happy to continue the story! As long as ya'll keep reading and reviewing it!! =) I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as the first, I worked purely on the rush I got after reading your oh-so- excellent reviews. And if you think I might be doing something wrong or it's too confusing or not confusing enough please, point it out to me. Although no flamers please, I'm afraid one would destroy me, lol. I don't have the vaccine to counter flamers as of yet. =P
And since these are my first EVER reviews I'd like to personally thank each and every one of you personally!!
HaldirOfLorien: Yes, I am continuing it *grins* and I am so glad you like it! I can't wait to see how Aragorn handles Legolas's presence either. Hope you stayed tuned in to find out!
TaiYama/AraLego Captor Sophie: lol I agree, it is rare to see Legolas being bratty! And Yup, I am planning to add more chapters! Hope you plan or reading and reviewing it.
Botticelli Angel: And I really appreciate the fact that you did review. =) Thanks for the compliment! Lol and I'll see what I can do with the whole Legolas/Arwen/Aragorn thing. It would have been easier if I made Arwen as a evil bitch but I wanted to be challenged, so I made her so sugary nice, lol
Cheysuli: More coming! ^-^
Gilly-bean: Aaaaah!! My FIRST reviewer EVER!! *streamers and balloons explode everywhere* I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you stay long enough to see how it turns out for our poor Aragorn and Legolas. Thanks for being #1!! *Treasures you* =)
***************
Lord Elrond frowned as he looked at his adopted son standing before him, Aragorn's shoulders were slumped as if they carried an invisible burden. 'He has yet to claim the crown and already the worries of ruling a country weigh him down.' Elrond shook his head sadly, if he could help he would but he could no longer interfere with the future of men. Aragorn's head was bowed as a sign of respect to his foster father.
"Look at me Aragorn" Elrond's voice was gentle but it held as light tone, which told it, was not to be disobeyed.
Unwillingly, Aragorn slowly raised he's head to face the Lord of Rivendell. Lord Elrond felt his own heart break as he looked into the pained eyes of the man he still called son. 'How could this be.?' Lord Elrond thought. 'Even after all these years. Had Aragorn loved Legolas so deeply that not even time could heal this broken heart?'
"What pains you, Estel?" The Halfelven asked, using Aragorn's elvish name, which meant 'Hope.'
Aragorn paused for a moment to think, he would not tell his father the truth.
"The journey we are to face." Answered Aragorn, half lying, the threat of Mordor had been in his thoughts. "What if I fail?"
Elrond sighed; he had expected Aragorn to lie to him. 'He is getting better though', Elrond though, half amused. If he had not known better he would have believed him "I have faith in you my son", Elrond said softly placing a reassuring hand on he's son's broad shoulder. "You are man's estel now." Aragorn offered a small smile, which eased Elrond's heart, slightly. "I will call a council in due time, I expect you to attend."
"I will." Aragorn raised he's eyes to meet the ones of Elrond's ".Father." He finished.
Elrond smiled, he felt touched that Aragorn still considered him to be his father, even the truth had been revealed to him years ago. Aragorn nodded, bowed and then exited the room. Elrond watched the descending back of the son of Arathorn. He was truly going to be a great king; he smiled before turning his attention back to the message he was writing. He paused suddenly as if a thought just occurred to him. "Does he know he is coming?" Lord Elrond asked himself softly.
****************** Legolas frowned as Rivendell came into view, they had arrived all too soon in his opinion. However, it did not stop him admiring the beauty that was Rivendell, he had truly missed this place. They entered the main gates and Legolas nimbly jumped off of his horse, as a Rivendell elf scampered quickly towards Legolas, bowing to the Mirkwood prince as he took the reins of his and he's companions' horse. Legolas's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the main building of Rivendell.
"We will deliver the message and then leave." He ordered as the two elves behind him nodded. They knew they're prince disliked staying in Rivendell, why was still a questioned that remained unanswered. Swallowing hard, the blond archer followed another Elf, who would lead him to Lord Elrond, he silently prayed this would not take long, he prayed that he's presence would remain unknown, he prayed he would not see the one person he had avoided for so long. Unluckily for Legolas, he's preys were to go unanswered today.
*****************
A shadow fell across Elrond's desk, looking up he saw he's only daughter, concern and distress written clearly over her normally calm exterior.
"Must Estel go?" She asked sadly.
"My child." Elrond suddenly understood why Arwen was here as he stood and wrapped his arms around he's youngest child. "He must. you know he must."
Arwen nodded, as much she could while still resting her forehead on her father's chest. "Why does Estel not love me?" She asked suddenly, while Elrond stiffened ever so slightly, Arwen had never been told about Aragorn and Legolas's relationship but Elrond knew he's daughter would not be blind to Aragorn's true feelings, she was not stupid. "Am I not worthy?" She continued. "Does he not know how I love him so?"
"Arwen, you are worthy of the Gods themselves. You are my daughter, the Evenstar of elves, your beauty, grace and spirit have been written forever in the stars. Elrond lifted Arwen's chin and was surprised to see tears glistening from her cheeks, for he's daughter rarely cried. "Why do you cry?"
"It hurts, to know Aragorn's love belongs to another. Am I being so selfish to ask of Aragorn to love me, even if I must share it with another? More tears filled the ocean blue eyes of the Evenstar. "Will he never love me?"
For the second time that day Elrond's heart broke and for the first time in his life Elrond did not know what to say, instead he just held Arwen in his arms offering as much physical comfort as he could.
*************** Unbeknownst to the two elves inside, a third elf stood just outside Lord Elrond's study room, where the door was just ajar. He stood in silence as the soft sobbing reached he's elven ears. He had told the Rivendell elf he knew his way to Lord Elrond's study, he had told he's companions to stay in their rooms as he was capable of delivering this simple message to Lord Elrond himself and here he stood, by himself, outside, stumbling into a conversation he couldn't help but hear. He's heart went out to Arwen, what a fool Estel was to not love the Evenstar who so obviously loved him with all of her heart. Deciding that father and daughter needed their moment, Legolas left. It wouldn't do anyone any harm if he postponed he's announcement just a little longer.
