Hi people! This is my first ever fanfic, but I don't mind if you diss me. Jus' bring it on!

You can see that I love horses, but I don't know much about them x'ept that they are breathtakingly beautiful, so if you see something terribly wrong, pls inform me, k? This story will be mostly narrated, but I will have POVs in some places.

Disclaimer: I do not own Legolas and other LOTR characters. I do own the horses, x'ept some of them have names which do not belong to me. And I own Niki completely!

THE ROYAL STABLES

Legolas had just left the dining room when Niki ran up to him. She looked very excited about something. She was about to say something when she noticed his father behind him. She was quick to straighten herself and spoke to Legolas in a well-bred voice, which the Prince found very strange coming from her. "Prince Legolas, you must come. Kunama is about to have her foal!"

Forgetting to excuse himself from his father's glare, Legolas ran after Niki. She was already rushing past dozens of elves, which were looking at her critically.

Legolas only caught up to the she-elf when she had reached the great oak doors of the stables. He helped her open them, and ran inside. Although to a stranger the labyrinth of stables would be helplessly confusing, Legolas knew his way around here well.

He could feel the horses' excitement as he neared Kunama's stable. The beautiful pearl white horse was sweating, and at her feet was a tiny little foal. She nuzzled Legolas when he arrived, and invited him to look at her foal. He kneeled down cautiously and reached his hand out to stroke the little horse. Looking closely, he saw that it was a boy. He had inherited from his mother a white coat, though Legolas noticed the gray spots on his hide. That gray was unmistakable. And sure enough, as he turned around, he saw Thowra, the stallion who was the foal's father.

Thowra nuzzled his mare, and then bent down towards his son. Legolas stood up to get out of the way, and after giving Kunama a final pat, left them.

Legolas stayed in the stable for a while, chatting with Niki. The two had known each other so long that Niki did not bother speaking to him formally anymore, and the Prince did not mind.

They had been talking about what to name the new foal for a long time, yet when they parted they had not even come close to a decision. Legolas walked back to the palace with a spring in his step, and he went to sleep that night thinking of a name for the lovely white-and-gray foal.

That was short, I know. I promise I'll update soon! Pls review, k?
