sure wish I did!
A/N: This is the chapter I promised. Legolas' big chapter.
Chapter 5: Resolve
Legolas looked out the window of his bedroom and sighed. Tindomriel. The word whispered tauntingly in his mind. She had been gone 5 years now. Everyone, even her brother Calicamion didn't believe she was coming back. No one else had seen her. Few even believed she was alive anymore. But Legolas knew that could not be so. The dream the night before had shown him. Legolas gritted his teeth. The dream, it made him sick at heart. Tindomriel. He turned from the window and went down the hall towards his father's hall.
Thranduil sat on his throne lost in thought. Legolas seemed different today. Ever since his betrothed had left Legolas had never been the same. He kept to himself more, refusing the company of his friends. Thranduil couldn't remember a time when his son had smiled in the last five years. But today was worse his son looked so sad, so angry. What was he to do? Nothing he could did helped Legolas move on.
Suddenly Legolas burst in the door. 'Father.' Legolas greeted as he entered the hall. 'Father, I know this is going to be hard to believe but she is alive!' Thranduil did not need to ask whom his son was talking about. 'I saw her father, in a dream!'
'Now Legolas,' cautioned Thranduil, 'Maybe you-' but he was immediately cut short by his son.
'But she doesn't remember. She doesn't remember me. She doesn't even remember who she is!' Legolas was shouting with excitement by this time. 'Father I have to go after her!'
'No!' said Thranduil. 'I will not have my son going Valar knows where because of a dream! I won't lose you too!' Legolas blinked in surprise. Lose him? What in Arda was he talking about? It didn't matter , he was going after her anyway. Tindomriel. With a curt nod to his father he turned on his heals and walked briskly out the door. Thranduil sighed with relief. His son was furious at him again, but at least he was safe. Little did he know that a plan was already forming in Legolas' head.
A/N Is this any better? I have tried to develop the characters a little more in the last couple of chapters. I'll do my best to make this story even better for your enjoyment. I hope you all like how it's coming along. But then, I won't know unless you review.
