Their quest was completed. The fellowship said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Little did they know they would be called upon a few years later to help save a friend from death.

To Save A Friend!

Chapter one:

A Good Goodbye & An Unhappy Reunion

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



He woke with the sunrise, as usual, to bask in its beauty and to soak in its warm rays that ripple down from the sun to bless Middle-Earth. This was his daily ritual. He started his journey today; he could hardly hide his excitement about getting to visit Rivendell once again.

-{It seemed like decades ago that I left Rivendell to take my rightful place by my father's side. I will leave immediately to go and visit my old friend!}- As a coy smile appeared on his face.

Off the prince ran in search of his father to say fair well and that he would return in a months time.

"Father, it is time for me to go!" Legolas announced as he entered his fathers room. The great Prince did not see his father but only the man he despised with all his being, the man that gave him his scars as a child. "Of course", they were never meant to be scars, Aramil just punished Legolas a little to hard. -{How could father allow this beast back into Mirkwood after he was so brutal towards me? I remember getting in trouble.and being sent to Aramil. I also remember the beatings I would receive from him!}-

As the door opened for Legolas, Aramil saw him enter, Aramil gave him the biggest of smiles and approached for a handshake. Legolas also pasted on a pitiful grin and shook his hand, as if they were the greatest of friends having a reunion, Legolas secretly despising the man before him.

"Ah Legolas, how have you been these past thousand years?" Aramil questioned Legolas with a hint of hatred in his voice.

Legolas answered bitterly, "I have been just fine, I was just looking for my father. To tell him goodbye before I leave. Good day Aramil." As Legolas turned to leave he was stopped by Aramil's next question.

"But where are you going in such a hurry little lad? We have had no time to catch up on each other's lives! Please, come sit, stay. So we may again get aquatinted!"

Legolas tried to push down all of the feelings that were coming up from somewhere in the back of his head. He had locked them away years ago, never wanting them to return, and they were all flooding back now, the last one in particular.

"But father, I didn't mean to break the vase in the hallway! Aust and I were playing Humans and Orcs! I am truly sorry father, it will never happen again!"

"Now Legolas, I don't have time for this! You shouldn't have done it and that's final. Go and see your teacher and he shall instruct you on the ways on etiquette inside a manor."

"Please father, don't send me to him! I will do anything as long as I don't have to see him! Just tell me and I will do it! He is always so mean and I hate the way he looks at me with his ugly brown eyes."

"Legolas, I will not tell you again. I will be there in a few minutes to check on the two of you, but first I must attend to a matter of importance. Now go!"

Legolas turned and did as his farther said and went and saw Aramil. He explained to Aramil what had happened and was sent reeling across the room from Aramils fist to his face. From his little crumpled position on the floor he could see Aramil pull out his cane he used to punish Legolas. Legolas couldn't quite make out what Aramil was saying, he was talking way to fast and Legolas's head was aching from the punch. Legolas remembered telling Aramil how sorry he was and that he would never do it again, and to please not hurt him anymore. He also remembered the look on Aramil's face, such hatred towards him. Legolas remembered Aramil advancing towards him and pulling him up by his beautiful lochs of golden hair and tossing him on to a table and started to beat him with the cane. Legolas remembered screaming for him to stop as he tried to cover his face from the painful blows, but Aramil didn't. The last thing he saw before the cane came crashing down on his head was his father entering the room with a horrified expression upon his eleven face.

Legolas did not turn to see Aramil as he spoke. He kept his back to him, trying to show him as much disrespect as he could.

"Aramil, do not address me as if you still control me! I am leaving and that is all that matters. Tell my father I am looking for him when he returns"

"Boy, I broke you once and I can do it again! Do not turn you back to me, especially while speaking. Now, turn around here and speak with me!"

"No Aramil, I said good day!"

Legolas left it at that and exited his father's room in a much fouler mood than when he had entered. Right outside the room and crashed right into his father, Thranduil.

"Why hello dad", was Legolas's greeting to his dad, as he faked a bow.

"Hello son, why so down today, I thought you to be in a better mood seeming how you get to go on your journey today."

"No, no, I am in a good mood!" Faking a smile. "I was just coming to say good bye." He leaned over and shared a hug with his father, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Well, goodbye then. See you in a month!"

"Goodbye son, have a safe trip! Write me if you need anything."

At that the two parted and Legolas ran off to begin his journey.
