AN: YAY! Another chapter with my sweety! Legolas I love you!
Chapter 7: Mission
Legolas hung his head. "You are right Ada,' every word was a stab at his pride, 'I was being foolish to think of following Tindomriel.' It hurt even more because he was lying.
'Good Legolas. I am glad that you feel that way. I knew that you would see it in time.' Thranduil smiled in relief, then his face turned surprisingly grim. 'I have bad news though, my son. The creature Gollum has escaped.'
Legolas stared at his father in shock. 'How is this possible? Morriel and Gyathon were watching him!' Legolas cried out.
'Remember how he clung to that tree last night?' Thranduil asked, Legolas nodded. 'Well Morriel and Gyathon were standing guard for most of the night. When Calicamion and Iestwen went to relieve they found the creature gone and Morriel and Gyathon slain. There were the prints of a large party of orcs.' Thranduil said. Legolas hung his head in grief, Gyathon had been one of his best friends, second only to Calicamion and the sons of Elrond.
'I need you to do something for my Legolas.' Thranduil said after a moment. Legolas looked up expectantly. 'I need you to go to Rivendell and tell Elrond what has happened. And tell Luinramwen what had happened to Gyathon.' Legolas nodded. It would be better for the maiden to hear it from one of Gyathon's close friends. The pair was to be married at the end of the season.
Then a thought struck Legolas, Elrond had a great library. Perhaps he could find a way to Tindromriel there! There was a good possibility. He had to take the chance! 'I will go Ada.' Legolas said calmly, hoping that Thranduil had missed the momentary change in Legolas' expression. Luckily, he had. Legolas smiled. There was hope for him after all!
AN Yes I know that this chapter is short! I am sorry! There will be a nice long one real soon! I seem to be apologizing a lot lately! _
