"Do not worry yourself Legolas, she shall be dealt with. But we will have
to be patient; the healer will not let us speak with her until she has
fully recovered. I want answers. Where does she come from? Who is she? And
why does she fight like an Elf-Warrior. In all my years I have never come
across a she-elf like her that fights and wears clothing like that. I want
answers from her." the king spoke sternly. He was going to protect his
realm and if that meant keeping her in the dungeons until he found out,
then so be it. He crossed his arms and stood up high and then he went into
deep thought.
Legolas knowing what his father was thinking, by instinct, "You can not force her to tell you." he looked at his father wanting to know what he would do to get the information from the peculiar she elf.
"I do not want to force it out of her, believe me, but if she doesn't tell us freely then she shall spend eternity in the dungeons beneath our palace. There are still evils out there, son and I want to protect this wood as long as I can and until you take your place on the thrown." the king was about to carry on with the whole speech of how he should be married now and that he needs to take his place on the thrown so he can go to the undying lands to find his beloved wife that left centuries ago.
"I am sorry father, but I need to go. I have some unfinished business to attend to." he bowed his head to his father and turned on his heel and walked towards the door.
"Bye my son. See you at dinner." the king went and sat down at his desk pulling out new and old parchments. And began to read with total concentration.
Legolas carried on out of the door and down the corridor it led out to an opening, he carried on to a line of trees. Walking through them he came to a large tree that sat on the edge of a lake. The branches were over looking the beautiful serene lake. Legolas came here since he was a child; it was usually to practice archery or to get away from father and his lectures of how he was to become king and should act with royalty and stay out of trouble. Which he would usually find him self in what ever he did. It was usually his fault anyway. But now, it was a different story. He sometimes would come here to clear his thoughts, listening to the inhabitants of the trees: the tip tapping of the branches, knocking on the waters surface. He would come to escape the blundering, eye fluttering elf maidens that would do anything to get his attention and the title as Queen of Mirkwood. Legolas climbed the tree and sat on one of the top tree branches that over looked the lake.
He sat there just looking over the surrounding scenery. Two elf children were on one side of the lake, they were playing in the water, the little elf-maiden decided to chuck water at what looked like her older brother. Legolas smiled at the two playing. The elf boy picked his little sister up and threw her in to the lake. With water splashing everywhere the little girl managed to get across to her brother who was still stood laughing at her. She in turn laughed and threw some more water at him when he went to go grab her again she ran of on to the shore away from her big brother. Legolas smiled and left the two children to there playing. He laid back on the strong tree trunk and closed his eyes resting and taking in the sunrays on his smooth skin.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Legolas jumped down from the tree instantly landing on the floor with grace and without stumbling. He began to run in the direction of the screams, dodging all the low branches, bushes and jumped over the roots of the trees. He was running in the direction of the healing houses and he began to realize this when he came out in to the opening near the healing houses. Legolas stopped and took in the scene around him. Seeing elf-maidens running in the opposite direction of the healing houses, one spotted Legolas and ran towards him taking the advantage of the situation as they all usually did.
"Prince Legolas. There is this fowl thing in the healing houses." Legolas looked at the elf-maiden in surprise. She had managed to slip her arm under Legolas' arm and held his hand. Looking up towards him her eyes fluttered trying to impress him, which I might add, she had no avail . With a stern and pleasant a voice as possible, he said, "I will go see." Looking towards the healing houses he peeled herself of his arm and ran of towards the healing houses. Reaching the healing houses he stopped outside were the rest of the healers stood, apart from Hyden.
"Where is Hyden and Celendil?" turning to look at the nearest elf.
"He is inside with Celendil. It is not safe Prince Legolas there is this." he tried to think of the right word but only one came to mind. "Animal inside. It is inside with Celendil" Legolas running in without a second thought cut him off. Running in he came close to Celendils door. Hyden was standing outside in pure terror and shock. He his feet stuck to the floor his legs refusing to move. Coming to a stop next Hyden. Not hearing Legolas come up next to him he jumped out of his skin clearing two foot between him and the floor.
" Prince Legolas!!"
"Sorry, Hyden but where is this animal that has caused all of this to happen?"
Hyden turned carefully and pointed slowly into Celendils room. His eyes wide in fright and his face the colour of the linen sheets that Celendil laid upon. He turned and looked into the room.
"That is a dog, mind you it is a large dog I could give you that."
The dog stopped growling and baring its teeth and began to bark full pelt at Legolas for his remark. Legolas stood in the doorway and looked straight at the dog that sat at the end of Celendils bed. The dog stopped barking, looked at the elf that stood in front of him and didn't show any signs of being scared.
"That is the first time it has shut up other than to take a breath since it has arrived."
Legolas kept eye contact with the dog but took his blades arrows and his bow off his back and leant them up against the wall. He then began to walk into the room as the healer protested against the idea.
" Prince Legolas it isn't safe you must leave it alone or it will attack." Hyden put his hand on Legolas' shoulder to try and stop him and make him think of what he was doing before he entering the room.
"Hyden, I was in the War of the Ring! I dealt with worse things than dogs. If I am hurt I have a good healer I can rely on to bring me back to health" Legolas moved on in to the room, slowly but surely. Hyden stood still with a grim look on his face. He moved closer towards the dog. Without any signs of moving, Legolas had no time to react to the dogs pounce it came quickly and powerfully. Knocking him on the floor on his back with the dog on his chest. Face to face with this huge dog he didn't stir. They both stayed like this for sometime. The dog moved off Legolas and cleared the way to Celendil. Legolas got to his feet and walked towards Celendil who still out cold.
"You can come in now Hyden." he turned to face a shocked and confused healer. "Hyden! It is safe to come in now." he called to knock him out of his trance.
"Yes." He walked slowly into the room. Legolas went and stood next to the dog who was sitting on the floor at the end of the bed. He began to growl again as soon as Hyden got close to Celendil. Legolas put his hand in front of the dogs face signalling him to be quiet and that Hyden was a friend, not a foe.
"Well at least we have a good idea who this animal belongs to now." He looked at the healer who was now checking her pulse was strong and that she had not got a fever.
" Prince Legolas she is still unconscious but I must ask you to remove yourself and you're new." he chose his words carefully "Friend from the healing houses. I must get back to work." He placed a wet cold cloth on her head so as to keep her cool whole she slept.
"We have our orders, again. Come on my four legged friend we have to go and find something to amuse us by."
He walked out of the room, picking up his weapons on the way.
***Well what do you think I need to know do you have any ideas that you could tell me!! Anything I love reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!
