Chapter III
"I... I thought you were dead, we all thought it" Legolas said as he approached to Oropher "My father had grieved for you a lot, as well as I" he was now just two steps from the older elf. Legolas raised his trembling hand and touched Oropher's face, a face that was very alike to his own and that of his father.
"I am so glad to meet you at last" Oropher said embracing the young prince "I dreamt with this moment since your father told me he was getting married" Legolas returned the embraced and with tears in both the elves' eyes they looked at each other.
"You are not dead" Oropher laughed
"No, I am not young one"
"But where have you been all this time? Why didn't you come back?"
"I couldn't. I was badly hurt in the battle of The Last Alliance, so badly hurt that everybody thought me dead" he guided Legolas to a stone bench and gently made him sit. With his arms around him he sat as well.
"But my father buried you"
"No, it wasn't my corp. As I was telling you I was weak and injured. I regain consciousness after everyone had left and so I made my way far away from there fearing the enemy would return. I never expected that the ones who returned were allies"
"But it has been too long"
"My physical wounds healed fast, but I was grieving really bad and so I decided to recovered emotionally first. When it happened, Thranduil was already in the throne and he was ruling well, so I decided to remain here. Not so close to interfere but not so far to missed you two."
"And now? Do you plan to return?" Legolas asked so hopefully that he looked like a child. Oropher caressed his cheek.
"That depends on you"
"How?" Legolas rested his head on his grandfather's shoulder. He felt tired.
"As you must know, I don't like other races like dwarves and humans. I saw you with one of them, with a human"
"He is different, he can be trust"
"No! Neither him nor those cursed elflings sons of Elrond"
"But Grandfather, they..."
"Do you prefer those three than me?" Legolas didn't answered "Do you?!"
"They are my friends. No, more than friends, they are my brothers"
"I can't believe it! You have disappointed me!" and Legolas world broke in thousand of pieces.

"Mother! When did you come back? Why didn't you returned to Imladris?" Both twins asked in unison making Celebrían huge them tighter
"I am so sorry my children for having waiting you and your father and sister as well as my mother and father. I was just heading there, but you came to me first"
"Are you..." Elladan began
"fully healed" Elrohir ended
"Yes, yes I am my sweetest. As soon as I felt my heart healed I took the ship and returned to Middle Earth... to you"
"We missed you so much"
"And knowing you two, you blame yourselves, Am I wrong?" Both twins looked away. "It wasn't your fault, it was..." she went silent.
"Who mother? Whose fault was? " Elladan said with rage
"We will made them pay" Elrohir agreed.
"I don't know if it is correct to tell you, after all, we are starting a new period of peace and happiness between the elves..."
"Elves? Were elves responsible? "
"I am afraid so" The beautiful face of Celebrían turned sad "Mirkwood elves. Your friend, prince Legolas was among them"
"What?!" the twins couldn't be more disturbed
"They guided the orcs to us, my little escort and me, so they will be save. When the orcs attacked us, we saw them seeing us, we shouted for help but they just turned around and left us"
"It... it can be"
"Are you calling me liar?"
"No! Never mother, but..."
"we know Legolas and the Mirkwood elves... and it is not like them to do such things"
"So you don't believe me?" Celebrían was hurt and angry and it broke the twin's heart to see their beloved mother like that. "He is more important than me"
"Mother... he is our best friend... we can't..."
"I am ashamed of you! You are like the orcs that don't care for their parents"
"Mother don't say that!"
"Then I must prove it to you" Celebrían started crying. The twins looked at each other with grieve. Their mother was sad and it was their entire fault.

"I can't believe it is you" Estel looked at his father with some kind of fear.
"It is I my son. I have been looking for you"
"Where...?"
"Have I been all these years? Hiding, trying to survive, trying to find you"
"Hiding? From who?"
"The ones who planned my dead"
"Then, why didn't you take refuge in Rivendel? I am sure my father... sorry lord Elrond would have help you"
"What did you said? How have you called Elrond?"
"I... it is a long story"
"Then please tell me, I need to know if my suspicions are correct"
"Suspicions? About what? Father I don't understand anything"
"Just tell me where have you been all this years my dear son"
"In Rivendel" at this Arathorn's face went red with rage "A...after you died the sons of Elrond Elladan and Elrohir took me to Imladris to their father who took me under his protection and adopted me"
"Traitor! That elf is a traitor snake and his twin sons are worst"
"Father!"
"Did they tell you how I supposedly died?"
"With an arrow in the eye"
"My son you have been deceived. The truth of what had happened back then is this: your mother and I were heading to Rivendel because we had received an urgent message from Elrond. On our way we met with the twins who offered to escort us, but when we went in the forest they attacked us. It was one of them, I can't tell who, the one who shot at me"
"No! You must be wrong!"
"No my son, listen to me. I was wounded and they thought I was dead so they took you. and then they made that story"
"But why?"
"The time of the elves is coming to an end. They wanted to remain in some way and so they thought that raising the heir of Isildur will bring them whatever they wanted"
"But my brothers..."
"They are not your brothers! And they must pay what they did to me... to us"
"But I can't do them any harm, they took care of me. They raised me"
"Something that I must have done" Estel remained silent. "They must pay"
"I am going to confront them, they must tell me the truth!"
"And after that?" but Estel didn't answered, he just left to the direction where he knew the twins were.
