Chapter Five

2 Weeks later

"Came on Cali lets go get some breakfast" Legolas called to his four-legged friend, after a couple of days of trying to call it by dog, and it wouldn't respond to that, so he decided Cali would be the best option. They had just come back from a long run through the trees of Mirkwood and around the palace. He looked down at his newfound friend, who had her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth. She stood up and walked to the end of the hall, she knew where the dining hall was. She loved her food. As they made their way into the dining hall, they were kicked out, again.

"Prince Legolas, I have told you about bringing that thing into the hall, especially when we are preparing food. Now out, before I loose my job." the maiden servant looked at the prince waiting for him to turn and walk away from the hall with that thing that sat at his heels.

"Elf-maiden of the hall, she has a name like any other in the palace and it is Cali. She is an honoured guest and a good friend of mine, so she may go were she pleases, like any other guest. And for the record, you would not get fired over something so trivial." he looked at the maiden carefully waiting for an emotion to make an appearance on that cold face she wore. But she didn't show anything of the kind.

"Fine Prince Legolas, but it is still to early. Come back later, everything shall be sorted soon then you can eat to your hearts content." she smiled lightly to him and turned into the hall.

"But."

As if knowing what he was about to say she came back to the door with a couple of dry fruit loaf slices.

"Here, Cel sii'." {Go away now} Legolas turned and walked of down the hall to the gardens.

"When it comes to food Prince Legolas hasn't changed one bit." she chuckled to her self and walked back in to the hall shutting the door behind her.

"Come on Cali let's go to the gardens and eat this."

"Woof" came from the background, Cali was protesting against the idea she wanted her share now, she was hungry, she didn't want to have to wait for it.

Legolas broke a bit of the fruit loaf off and held it high teasing Cali. She started to jump up and try to get the piece of fruit loaf from Legolas; he smiled and began to laugh at the dog playfully.

"Come on you can do better than that!" he looked at Cali with a big grin on his face. Cali sat just off the floor wiggling her bum and her tail doing a whole 360-degree turn. She jumped high up and caught the piece of loaf that Legolas had just let go of so that she wouldn't take his fingers along with the treat.

"Ha ha, well done! Come on you fluff ball!" his face beaming with happiness. The one thing that really bothered him was that Celendil still lay on the bed and hadn't moved one inch in two weeks. He looked at Cali who was pounding towards him; she jumped up and landed in Legolas' strong arms she turned her head so that she was facing Legolas and gave him a lick across his face.

"O gee thanks Cali, love you too, but, enough of the slobbery kisses, I have had enough of them from maidens and you to last me two life times! Lle lela?" {Are you finished?)

Cali looked at him and licked the side of his face with extra slobbery tongue as if to say to him "Ha got you again he he!"

She turned and growled at a shadow that came into part of the corridor they were in. She jumped down and stood in front of Legolas ready to attack, who ever this person creeping around was. A tall elf-maiden came out form behind a corner in the hall. She had long brown hair that flowed freely down her back Her face was fair like all the other maidens in Mirkwood, but his breath was not taken aback by her beauty he smiled at her waiting for her to speak.

"Prince Legolas. Celendil has awoken and Hyden wishes to speak with you." She smiled lightly to him and turned, walking back in the direction she had come from.

"Thank you!" he shouted down the corridor to be polite. Well it is about time she woke up. He thought to himself as he made his way to the healing houses while eating the rest of the fruit loaf. Once inside the healing houses Legolas wanted to find Hyden. While calling out his name, Legolas made his way near to Celendils room.

"Ah, Prince Legolas, just the elf I wanted to speak with" Legolas smiled lightly at Hyden, Hyden smiled back politely, he looked exhausted none the less. It was very rare that elves became very tired or exhausted. Celendil must be keeping him on his toes. He thought to himself he let a chuckle escape his lips.

"What's wrong?" Hyden looked at Legolas with a confused expression on his face.

"O nothing Hyden, Amin nireatha. {I'm sorry} How long has she been awake now?" his face was neutral waiting for the long exasperated speech that was now upon him.

"She has been awake for a couple of hours and has asked numerous times for her clothes back and when will she be able to get out of this hell hole, were her exact words. But, unfortunately, she will have to stay here for a couple more days until she gets her strength back. She had a dislocated collarbone and shoulder; two broken ribs and a swollen ankle but that will not take long to heal." He looked at Legolas who was now facing the open door to Celendils room. His face was pale but unreadable, Hyden knew there was something bothering Legolas he just didn't know what.

"Prince Legolas." He waited for a reply but was unsuccessful. "Prince Legolas!"

"Uma."{Yes}

"Please Prince Legolas, do not tire her more. She is already weak," believe it or not he thought to him self sarcastically. "Just be careful. You already know that of course." He smiled at Legolas, but Legolas' face was completely blank. Once again he was in a daydream and hadn't taken one blind notice of Hydens words. "Give me the strength Elabereth!" he walked into a room that was on the side of the healing houses walking in to the room he shut the door rather loudly to wake Legolas from his dream.

Legolas looked around quickly, Hyden had walked off without saying a word to him or did he.

"Well I guess I had better find out a few things about our guest." He looked down to see Cali sitting at his side looking up at him. "Come on, let's take you to your mum."
