The Lost Tale of Legolas and Eowyn
Author's Note: I do not own the characters in this story. Only J. R. R. Tolkein's heirs own it. I have always wanted to do a Legolas and Eowyn story.
Prologue "Push Eowyn, push," The midwife said to Eowyn, Lady of Ithilium.
Eowyn was hot and sweaty. Her golden hair was damp and hung over her face. She screamed in pain before another cry came out.
"You have a daughter, my lady." The midwife said as she cleaned and wrapped the infant in a blanket before handing her to Eowyn.
Eowyn looked at her daughter with wonder. The woman burst into tears when she saw her daughter. The baby had golden hair, stunning blue eyes, and pointy ears. She was a beautiful reminder of Legolas, her love.
"Your name shall be Gaenor, after the legendary Rohan princess." Eowyn pronounced as her daughter suckled her.
Chapter One
Eowyn looked bleak as she saw her husband Faramir buried deep in the ground. Her face was shrouded in the black veil and her own grief. There was nothing for Eowyn now that her husband is gone. Not even children to comfort her.
Eowyn couldn't help but look at two graves besides Faramir's. It was the burial places of their sons who died in childhood. Eowyn couldn't look at them for very long.
She saw everyone she knew looking at her. There was King Elessar and his wife Queen Arwen with their children. There was her brother Eomer and his wife. There was Merry and Pippin the Hobbits and then there was Legolas of Mirkwood and Gimli the dwarf. They all came to share in her sorrow.
"My dear Eowyn, we must come inside." Aragorn said to her.
For an instant Eowyn felt her old lust for the powerful Aragorn, but it left her. There was nothing but friendship between them, and Eowyn knew she couldn't compare to the beautiful elven queen. She felt Aragorn's soft touch as he led her to his palace.
"My dear Eowyn may I give my condolences to you?" Gimli said.
"Thank you Gimli for you are awfully kind," Eowyn replied in a sad voice.
"Faramir was a good friend my lady. His sad death shall be revenge many times over." Gimli said.
Eowyn only nodded, but was secretly disgusted for there should be no more bloodshed over this. She hated orcs and they did kill her husband, but she couldn't stand anymore violence. She decided not to tell Gimli her feelings.
Legolas did not say a word throughout this sad affair. It was he who found Faramir's mangled body on a forest trail. It affects him greatly for Faramir was like a brother to him. His older brothers in Mirkwood were all selfish and take little pleasure in the affairs of others. Faramir was a kindred spirit to the elf, and his death was a sad omen.
"My lady," Legolas finally spoke.
"Yes, my lord." Eowyn answered.
"Faramir was like a brother to me."
"Yes he was," Eowyn said in agreement.
Legolas took a deep breath. Faramir was not yet dead when Legolas found him. His last words were about Eowyn, and Legolas was going to repeat them to Eowyn.
"Faramir was still alive when I last saw him with my eyes. He said to me 'take care of her my brother. Comfort her for the rest of her days'."
"He said that." Eowyn said.
"Yes my lady and I vowed that I will take great care of you."
Eowyn burst into tears and cried on Legolas' shoulders for the rest of the evening.
