Mela en' coiamin (love of my life)

Legolas sat on the tree looking at his future domain. thinking about what could possibly be more beautiful than the lands of Mirkwood. In a few days time, his friend Estel (Aragon) would be marrying Arwen. Both were below him somewhere, fixing the wedding decorations or something. Aragon had talked about it so much during the quest and now the event was finally taking place, here in Mirkwood. Legolas knew the prince of Mirkwood should appear at the festivities to come as he was the groom's closest companion, though he couldn't bear it.

{The thought of A'maelamin (my beloved) marrying some other. I ought to be ashamed of myself. First of all I can't possibly have any chance with Estel. Second he was in LOVE with her!! Anyway father would absolutely KILL me if I liked a mortal. and he would absolutely kill me himself if the .mortal was a man. So either way. I will have to be lonely.}

"Amin Hireatha (I'm sorry). my lord" A girl said propping herself up on the tree. "Ahhh! Do not creep up on me like that!" Said Legolas positively shocked. "Amin Hireatha." She said looking hurt "Mani na taa?? (What is it?)" Legolas was still in deep shock. "You are asked to come to the midnight festivities my lord" She said timidly "Yes. Yes. Hold on. wait! Yan na lle? (Who are you?)" (Deeply confused look) "Amin na tualle. (I am your Servant)" "MY SERVANT??... I have a servant?? Since when." "Since YOU'RE older servant got fed up with you being up on the trees and not giving her enough orders." "So.? Shouldn't she be happy for having such an easy life.? "Surely you must know. that maids of Mirkwood have to be ordered or even dismissed to function properly. You never dismissed your other maid and her. well. she." (Looking down) "She.well. what??" "She went mad." "Oh really?!" (Eyes wide open) "Yes my lord. She is now in green hills of Valinor. calming off I suppose" (smiling sadly) "So instead of going mad you decide to climb up MY tree which I have forbidden ANYONE. including my OWN father to climb and ASK for your next order.?" "I'm deeply sorry. I did not know. nor did anyone tell me about this. What should I do to make up for it.? What punishment should I be leading to.? I am willing to face anything!"

Legolas raised his eyebrows at her sudden burst of. well he didn't have a word for it. It was even more shocking than her sharp graceful appearance, and he almost tripped of the tree because of it, and that was saying something! A sudden rustle in the leaves behind him made Legolas jump again. He looked at the maid suspiciously. and when she returned a glance of innocence he turned around, to find Aragorn sitting behind him smiling widely.

"Aragorn." "Ahahah.And I thought YOU were high strung! Ahahha." "Yes.right.*deep breath*. now there are 2 people other people on MY tree." "OH be quiet Legolas stop being so possessive of trees. anyway.I think you should apologise to her." he said pointing to the lady- like figure gliding quickly down the tree quickly.

{I quickly looked down at her.}

"HEY.uh. ELF!!...HELLOOO. MAY I KNOW WHAT MY SERVANTS NAME IS.?" I shouted to her. She looked up at the both of us; she smiled, curtseyed and replied a loud "Káylá!!"

I sighed softly. and smiled (forgetting Aragorn). She was too young. possibly 400 years??... Yes she did seem like it. Her ears were still blunted on the tips. Good tree climber. she was smart, sweet, funny.without meaning to be. A dreamy smile must have spread across my face because just that minute Aragorn started shouting at the top of his lungs. "LEGOLAS LIKES AN ELF!!!!!!" Startled I looked down at the fading figure of Káylá. She looked up at Aragorn and laughed slightly. As a colour rose in her cheeks she walked on shaking her head in amusement. Peeling my eyes away from her (very hard thing to do) I looked towards Aragorn as if I were going to murder him and gave an evil grin to match.

"Uh oh!" "You got that right."

Aragorn started to climb down the tree as fast as his human legs could carry him. I laughed mockingly at the slow speed of Aragorn and decided to wait and give him a head start.not that it would help of course. the elf is ALWAYS faster.}

"Go faster would you." "OH be quiet!" "Haha.HERE I COME!!" "Ahhhh!"

Legolas jumped off the tree branch and landed softly on the ground with ease. Laughing loudly he chased after Aragorn. He looked around and spotted the endearing strider running towards the Vanya Sulië waterfall. Smiling in victory he mutely kept chasing him making sure the alert ranger wouldn't pick up his footsteps. He hid behind a broad pillar, as if on a look out. He saw Aragorn grinning and resting against a slab of white elf rock as if happy with what he had accomplished. Shaking his head, Legolas swiftly crept up behind the rock and waited and tried to pick up any sounds that might suggest that Aragorn had heard him. When Legolas was convinced he had succeeded, he noiselessly moved stealthily towards the panting ranger and pushed him into the icy cold water. Unfortunately for Legolas, Aragorn was quick enough to grab Legolas's tunic and pull him in as well.

"Brr.. AHH!... you disgust..t.. mm.e..e. . Amin .feuya ten' lle (disgust me) !! You horrid creature!... Auta miqula orqu!!! (go kiss an orc)" "Lle Tela? (are you finished?)" Said Legolas not feeling the cold as much as the mortal. and smiling malevolently. "I'll. get.brr...you" Aragorn said through chitters. He was freezing. Legolas looked at him with a false innocent look on his face "Why me.? What did the poor little elf doo.?" said Legolas getting up and readying himself to leave the water fall. Aragorn grabbed Legolas's hand and pulled him back. Legolas tripped back because of the uneven flooring underneath him and landed heavily on Aragorn's stomach. "Ai Elbereth- Legolas!! You need to loose some weight!" "Me?? You've already got an 'pudgy stomach' and you are entirely worn-out by that small run. and you're talking about ME losing weight." "Well." said Aragorn wrapping his hands around Legolas's stomach and tightening his grip with every second causing Legolas to flinch at his icy touch. "Before. I could wrap my hands around you completely and still touch my elbows. now I can't." "Before I could do the same. but now I can't even touch my fingers!" said Legolas swiftly and humorously. "Why you little orc!!" said Aragorn threateningly, his arms still around Legolas's tummy. "A! you said LITTLE!!" Said Legolas finding a loophole in the threat! "Oh. um.Legolas." said Aragorn as if he remembered something. "Yes Aragorn. " Legolas replied in the same manner "Have you.?" "Have I what??..." "I was just wondering. have you washed you hair because it smells a little funny. I mean have you run out of shampoo?" "Oh you annoying fool! Dolle naa lost!! (You're head is empty) and...And.you know what else??..." said Legolas trying to think of an insult worse than having horrible hair (this was a very hard task for the elf.as an elf's hair is its mark of status and royalty). "What Legolas.what??" said Aragorn mockingly over interested. "Llie n'vanima ar' lle atara lanneina! (You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny!) HAH!" said Legolas not realizing what affect the words had on Aragorn. He turned around releasing himself from the clutches of the man. and stood facing Aragon who looked miserable, gaping at the water bed. "Ai! *gasp* what have I said.I'm sorry Aragorn. I didn't mean too. I did not realize. forgive me please." Legolas begged as he knelt back in the water in front of him. "GO AWAY LEGOLAS. and LEAVE ME ALONE." said Aragorn in a straight stern voice. "But you're cold and wet." said Legolas trying to help "AND OF WHOSE MAKING IS THAT?!??!" Aragorn shouted back. "I.I." Legolas stammered finding it hard to make a sentence. "Aragorn.I'm so-" "I DON'T CARE!!! GO A-W-A-Y!!!"
