An Unexpected Visitor
A soft stream of light peeked through the scarlet leaves shyly on the cool October day. A golden stag sauntered silently into a small clearing, unknowing of the danger that lay behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A silver gold- headed prince laid quietly on the branches of a great oak, a fitted bow in hand. He directed the arrow towards the naive stag, ready to launch the deadly weapon.
Suddenly, the stag looked up as a soft rustle was heard and sprang away. The archer sighed in frustration and turned his attention to the noise. With another rustle a darkly cloaked stranger appeared out of the brush, leading a groveling. well, he didn't know what it was!
The creature kept on whining pityingly, "Noo! Noo! Not the nasty elvesesss! They hurtsss usss, they burnssss ussss! Preciousss promissse to beesss goodsess, we promisesss!"
At hearing the insult, the prince leapt down from the tree, landing directly in front of the stranger. "What business do you have here? Speak!" he commanded.
To his surprise, the stranger chuckled. He threw off his hood to reveal a mane of straggly black hair. "O? am I not welcomed here, Legolas?" he questioned.
Legolas laughed, "Nay, you are welcomed here at anytime, Aragorn. But back to my question, what are you doing here?"
Aragorn gestured at the groveling figure that had taken to rocking back and forth nervously, eyeing the elf with suspicion and terror. "This is Smeagol, or rather, Gollum as most call him now. He's a corrupted creature, and is capable of evil when up to it, I am here to entrust him to the elves of Mirkwood."
"He is corrupted you say? By what?"
"Precioussss!" cried out Gollum suddenly clawing at Aragorn's leg, "Preciousssssss!"
"And what is this `precious' he talks of?"
"'Tisn't safe to speak of it, let us first find your father."
Legolas nodded as he, Aragorn and Smeagol started off towards the King's dwelling.
