Chapter 4
"Legolas gets to know Destiny"
~*Destiny's POV*~ Legolas got into the tree to get a higher looking point. I couldn't blame him. These companions whom he had only known for maybe a day was all he had. He wanted desperately to protect them, it was completely obvious.
"See anything, Legolas?" I asked.
"Nothing. Only the leaves on the trees and the stillness of the forest," he said as he climbed down.
I sighed in relief. I had seen Hope getting to know Leonardo. They were talented warriors. They were able to talk and still keep a good eye open for jorakons. I prayed that nothing would attack us but knowing my luck, it would happen.
Legolas got out of the tree and noticed me deep in though.
"Are you alright?" asked Legolas.
I nodded. He didn't need to know that I was lying to him just to keep him from worrying about me but unfortunately, that didn't work. He bowed.
"I can see you keep a secret bottled up. You know that it's dangerous for elves to keep hardships to themselves, don't you?" asked Legolas.
I nodded. I had merely forgotten that since I had been living with humans for the last hundred years.
"What is it that is bothering you?" asked Legolas.
"I don't know how I feel right now. I want the jorakons to attack but at the same time, I do not," I said, being honest, something that I hadn't been completely in a long time.
"Jorakons?" questioned Legolas.
"They are what we are on the look out for. You see, they are the dead, decayed corps of the dead brought back to destroy everything here. They killed my people. I am now the only wood elf in this world," I said sadly.
"No, you are not," said Legolas.
"Alright, then tell me where there is one," I said almost angrily.
"I am also a wood elf," Legolas said.
I smiled. He was right, with him here, I was no longer alone. It comforted me a little. I couldn't help but feel a closeness to him. I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes. I knew that when the time came, I wouldn't want him to leave but I knew that he had to.
"Please, tell me about yourself, Legolas," I said, interested in hearing what he had to say about his home and family.
"Well, I live on Middle Earth in Mirkwood Forest. I am the only child of King Thranduil," said Legolas.
"King? Then that makes you a prince," I said as my eyes grew wide.
"Please, keep this between the two of us. Not even my companions know this. Here, I am only Legolas Greenleaf, at home, I'm a Prince Legolas. I cannot act on my own. Everything is planned for me. I beg you to keep this to yourself," begged Legolas.
"You have my word," I said.
"Thank you. I also have also become friends with a dwarf, Gimli. He is my traveling companion. We have created a friendship that was never thought possible," Legolas said, thinking about what else to tell me.
"Dwarves! I have always wanted to see them. They have not been seen for so long that we believe that they have died out. You seem to be one who is willing to change the world just for the better of the people in it," I said, in disbelief.
It was true, I had always wanted to see dwarves. I knew that it was probably going to be impossible to go with him but how I wanted to leave with him when the time came.
"That's basically my life," said Legolas.
Silence passed between us for a while. He was comforting to have around. The two of us started to hum the same song after a while. We looked at each other after we were done and started to laugh. It was funny how we both knew this song but were from two completely different worlds.
It wasn't long before we started to talk about weapons, bows, and elven songs that we both knew. This continued through our watch. Until Faith and Trowa got up and relieved us from our watch.
I looked back at Faith and Trowa when we went to lay down. I knew Faith was one who didn't speak often and from what I saw, or heard, from Trowa, he was also a quiet young man. I thought that if those two talked, like Hope and I did with our watch partners, it would be a very interesting conversation.
