Chapter 3
"Legolas, mellon nin, you're home!" cried Estel, embracing the elf who was still dressed in all white. Only the twinkle in his sapphire blue eyes showed the adan that he was smiling. "Yes, Estel," Legolas said, pulling down the scarf from his face. "It is good to see you and Mirkwood again, but what are you doing here?" "I came to deliver a message to your father from Lord Elrond," Aragorn said, slipping into his native tongue. "I took the opportunity to come see you, but was disappointed to find you gone. I have to leave now, but come visit me soon!" Aragorn gave Legolas a playful whack across the back and was off home to Rivendell. Legolas turned and walked towards home, to the palace in Mirkwood.
"Legolas," Thranduil said as his son approached him. "It is good to see you home, hinya (my child)." "It is good to see you as well, Ada (father)," Legolas said, embracing his father. "I trust you are well?" Legolas said, looking his father over before remembering what he came to see him in the first place for. "Father, I have gotten the amulet back," Legolas said, presenting the amulet. Tears formed in both pairs of eyes as the amulet brought back memories of Legolas' mother, who had passed into the Grey Havens a lifetime ago. Wordlessly, Legolas placed the amulet in his father's hands and left the room.
After bathing and changing, the elven prince flopped into his bed, glad to finally be at home, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
