Chapter 7
With that he walked out to find his father, Cali close at his heels. Gritting his teeth, his jaw muscles flexing from pure anger and annoyance. His eyes a deep blue nearly black like the night sky, not knowing what lies there, wonders or nightmares. He stormed down the hallways, everyone who stood or was just taking a pleasant walk jumped out of the way and pinned themselves against the wall, giving Legolas plenty of breathing space. He searched the study for his father but didn't find him, turning he walked quickly and quietly out into the gardens. He heard hushed voices not so far away. He stood still and listened in to the conversation-taking place. Cali came and sat next to his foot and stopped her panting so she wouldn't give them away to the elves with hushed voices.
"Shall we set a date? So we can go ahead with the plans." this voice Legolas hadn't heard before. He listened for the other to reply to see if her knew the other elf.
"I shall speak with my son on the matter before we go any further." but Legolas knew this voice all to well, considering he had been living with him for the past 3,000 years or so. Anger built up in him even more. His eyes turning more of the black colour than of the radiant blue they were this morning. * First I have to deal with Celendil and if that is not enough the valor throws me my father to deal with!! He is trying to marry me off! He knows how I feel about that! * He walked out into the middle of the garden. Seeing his father and the strange elf that he had never met sitting on the bench talking in still their hushed voices. * You would have thought that they would get the point. That there would be no point in whispering when you have a whole kingdom full of elves and some even trained to have better hearing than others! * He walked over to them glancing at the stranger and then back at his father giving him a cold glare.
"Adar I need to speak with you, in private and I am sure you have something to discuss me as well!" he looked straight at his father his gaze not faulting.
"I will leave you to it." the Elf stood and faced Legolas
"Yes! Do leave!" he glanced at the stranger and then back at his father. His father watched as the elf retreated off the new battlegrounds that were just about to be tested.
"There was no need for that!" he snapped at his son as soon as the elf turned the corner out of sight.
"There was need for that, you have no right to go behind my back! Considering the day I have had so far, there are good enough reasons!"
"You do not talk to me like that. I am your father and your king." the king thought to himself for a moment while he could before his son chimed in. * what is wrong with him! He hasn't been like this since he was a small elf ling! He wasn't even like this either what is wrong with him!"*
"Well, in one morning I have found out that we have killed our own kind!" he looked at his father. His eyes widened but where back to their normal size in a blink of an eye. "And then I get magically thrown across the room, knocked unconscious! O and if that isn't enough, when I come to my adar to talk to him about it and to calm down I find out that he has gone behind my back and organised a wedding to take place between myself and a maiden, I don't even know, let alone ever met and don't love. And that is my own father going behind my back. Now is that a good enough reason for you. Or does the dark lord himself have to come and knock on my door!"
The King sighed he did not want to upset his son. He had only been back a couple of years, and he didn't want his only son to wander of on some other adventure again.
A servant came up to the royal argument that was taking place and addressed the king. "Your highness?" the servant stood there quivering in his elvin boots.
Both father and son said in unison "What!" with fire in their eyes.
"King Aragorn and Queen Arwen has arrived, they are waiting in the main hall." the servant stood waiting for any orders that may be given to him.
"Thank you!" only the king answered this time. He waited for the servant to disappear out of sight. "I know you are not a little elf anymore. But you must realise that I have your best interest at heart. I merely want to see you wedded and happy so that you may take your rightful place as the king of Mirkwood."
Legolas went quiet at the mention of him taking the throne of Mirkwood. He had not thought that he would have to take the place so early in life. He had come back from the war of the ring. not so long ago, and he hadn't yet settled down properly. He was still the young elf that wanted adventure, not wanting to take the responsibilities of that being the king of this realm he called home. "I know that you worry for me adar, but I wish to fall in love. Not to be wedded off and then realise that she is not the one I wish to spend eternity with. I could not do that, adar it is not right." he looked at his adar his eyes returning to their original ice blue.
"It worked with me and your Adara. It may happen to you. We do not know until we try." he looked at his son, trying to get him to understand his situation.
"But then what Adar. I am then married to her and I do not love her. I cannot just turn around and tell her, 'sorry but you are not my soul mate' can I." Legolas sat down on the bench next to were his father stood.
" I will not arrange your marriage for you but realise this, I will be leaving for the undying lands, I do not know when but before I go I wish to see you married to a beautiful elf-maiden and for you to be happy." he looked at his son, and then went to sit next to him.
"Just let me look for love. I do not ask for much adar." he looked back at his adar in return, pleading too let him find love, and not to be put in front of an elf-maiden and be expected to just fall in love with her there and then.
Thranduil placed a hand his son's shoulder. "Fine son, but realise you don't have all the time in the world to fall in love." the King sat there for a moment letting there be peace between them. "We must go and meet Aragorn and Arwen it is rude to keep the King and Queen of Gondor waiting, especially when they are such good friends of ours."
Legolas turned his head to face the newly cutgrass that his feet lay upon. " I wish to stay here for a while, I will greet them at the feast tonight that you are probably conjuring up in that mind of yours right now." he looked up, his lip begging to curl up as he looked at his adar's expression. It was the look of as if I wouldn't do that but he was really doing it.
"Ok, but please be in a better mood, if not for me then for our guests tonight. They will have had a long journey."
"All right adar, I will try." he got up from his seat and walked in the direction of the healing house, he was going to sort this out here and now even if it would take him a week straight without any sleep, he would do it.
~*~
The king walked into the palace and into the great hall were Aragorn and Arwen waited for his arrival. As he walked into the great hall he called out "Aragorn it has been to long!" he opened out his arms as he walked closer to the couple.
"King Thranduil! It certainly has been to long. How do you fair?" Aragorn moved forward, embracing the king in a friendly hug.
"I am fairing well, but we do have a problem at the minute." he looked to Arwen and then moved forward to embrace her in a tender loving, but friendly hug.
"How do you fair Lady Arwen?"
"I am doing very well thank you King Thranduil."
"Please just call me Thranduil we have been friends for as long as I can remember, enough of the pleasantries." he smiled at her and then carried on speaking. "I will get my servant to show you to your room Lady Arwen and Lord Aragorn." he called for his servant and ordered him to take the lady Arwen to her and Lord Aragorn's chambers.
"I will join you later darling. I need to speak with Thranduil." he kissed her cheek lovingly and turned back to Thranduil. "What is the problem you speak of? Prey tell." he looked at him with worry planted on his face.
"There is this she-elf that Legolas has captured and brought back" He looked at his friend and pointed to the doors for them to walk towards and to his study.
"Did she not want to come back wilfully with the young prince or has he lost his charm that usually works on every maiden." He chuckled to himself then looked at the serious look Thranduil had on his face. His lips made the letter o and then apologised for his lack of seriousness to the matter.
"All I know at the minute is that Legolas caught her in the royal gardens. He went to fetch her back but she put up a good fight. She was injured because the horse reared and she fell off. She was unconscious for two weeks, the healer was becoming doubtful that she would wake up, but then to our amazement she did." They both walked into the Kings study and sat down on the comfy chairs that he had to one side.
"And that is what you are worried about my old friend. She does not sound like much of a threat. But sorry for saying so." he looked at the king with a plain face not wanting to anger the King in anyway. He was in someone else's realm, there for he did have to behave him self and act as a noble man and gentleman.
"Legolas said something about being thrown across the room magically and knocked unconscious, but we were in a heated discussion that I wouldn't like to go into right now because we have both just calmed down." He looked around the study as if he hadn't been there before.
"Should we go speak with Legolas or with this woman? What is her name?" He looked at him with a now serious face.
"Her name is Celendil. I don't know anything about her other than what I have told you. And she is supposed to have not said anything about herself willingly ."
"Will she speak to us if we go and see her now." He looked at Thranduil.
"I don't know."
~~~~~~~~~~~~+++++++**********+++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back with Legolas
He sat on the bench for a while thinking to himself before he got up and made his way back to the healing rooms to see Celendil. He wanted to ask the questions that were buzzing around in his head, they needed to be answered. He walked into her room, seeing nobody in there he walked out and stopped when he saw Hyden.
"HYDEN, where is Celendil! I told her to stay here. And wait till I came back!" he looked at the healer. Legolas was becoming red faced with the anger that was boiling up inside him.
"She said she was going to be back and that she wanted to check up on her horse!" he looked at the stern look Legolas was giving him, flinching as Legolas quickly moved towards the door.
Legolas walked out of the healing house and to the stables. Walking through the large double doors, he found that her horse was gone. Turning, he walked around to the back of the building.
In back there was a large stable the full width of the building. At the back of the stables stood a large Dun Mare. Her main, tail and forelock were the colour of coal, in the middle of her back was a long black line that rested on top of her spine, reaching from her main to the top of her tail. Her nose looks as though she stuck it into the ashes of a burnt out fire. She turned to face her best friend. Her eyes were plain black you could not see the pupil for the whole surface of her eye was black, no white. She was the only one of her kind. No one had ever seen another like her.
The man that had her from birth thought that she was plain evil. No one could ride her, everyone and everything that came near her, she threw off with such force, people were scared to go near her. She was about to be killed, because they thought she was evil when Legolas saved her from death. She learned to trust him and would only wear a bridle and saddle for him, but for short periods of time only. She was possessive of Legolas and would let very few people near her, and only if he was nearby.
Legolas opened the stable door and gave her a warm smile, patting her on the neck. "Hello beautiful, I need your help. Our new acquaintance has gone missing again." She neighed and stood firm to his words. Her shoulder muscles began to move and flex as she pawed at the floor. Legolas in one swift easy movement jumped up on her back, nudging her side gently with his heels.
She reared high and proud, when she landed on the floor a loud crash sounded. She went straight from stand still into a gallop. As they galloped out of the stables, as stable hand leapt out of the way of the charging horse into the muckpile. As they flew past the tack room, Legolas noticed that all the saddles and bridles were still there, even Celendils.
Tugging on the Dun's mane to slow her, Legolas looked down at the dusty path, looking for tracks, but could not find any.
Slightly confused as to how his horse knew were she was going, he continued to let go as fast as she liked as long as they weren't crawling along. All of a sudden she stopped dead in her tracks.
"What's up girl lost your way?" He looked at her ears, both of them turned back in his direction. She turned her head to look at him with one eye and then shook her head as if to say to him * NO I haven't thank you very much! * All of a sudden he heard a bark coming from behind them. Turning to see Cali coming up behind them, and when she had reached the their side, the horse took of into a gallop. Legolas thought that Cali wouldn't be able to stay at the horses pace of speed, but to his surprise she did and she wasn't even panting or slowing down. They came into a small opening in the woods. This one was different from the last one they were in two weeks ago, it was smaller and more prettier.
A willow tree standing next to a large calm river, with its branches stretched halfway out over the water. The other branches stretched out across the bank were the tree stood and the rest just spread out across the meadow. His horse came to a stop on the edge of the meadow, Cali stopping next to the front legs of the horse. Legolas looked around but didn't see Celendil anywhere. "Are you sure she is here you two?" Cali barked quietly to answer his question. The branches of the willow tree began to move. Legolas looked at the tree and just thought * It is just the wind " He looked down at the mane of his horse and saw that not a single hair was moving. Legolas took out one of his twin elvin blades and looked to the willow tree that moved without the help of the wind. The branches began to part; a muzzle came in to sight then the head of the horse he kept moving out from underneath the willow tree. Legolas realised it was Celendil's horse by the crescent moon behind his right ear. The white strands of hair told him enough to know that, that was defiantly Celendil's horse. The horse carried on strutting out from underneath the tree. His muscles flexing with each move he made. The branches began to part higher up, and then the rider could be seen, it was Celendil. The horse cleared the branches of the tree and like a curtain they closed behind them both. She unsheathed sword quickly. "You followed me?!" She glared at him.
"I told you to stay in the healing houses!" he shouted back to her his anger had risen again.
"I don't follow orders from anyone and especially you. And I had been stuck in there all day I wasn't going to stay in there when I wasn't ill and when it was a good day like this for riding!" She still held her sword at her side. Her voice, still in her usual cold tone.
"You are to come back with me so we can talk!" He glared at her his eyes turning a dark blue.
"See there you go again, giving out orders! You have an authority problem! Mind you I guess that comes with being a prince! Doing as you wish and even condemning people! Hope you can't sleep at night PRINCE!"
"Who gives you the right to be a bitch to everyone!"
"No I am not a bitch to everyone I am just one to your father and you! I actually like Hyden he is still to shy and quiet though."
"Well it would be nice to actually know what we did to you!"
"Why should I give you an easy ride? You certainly don't deserve it. You didn't even give me a choice. You can do some of the hard work for a change!" She was becoming angrier by the minute. The memories came flooding back. Her horse began to move around as he picked up her agitation.
"Did you intend to run?"
"No I left all my belongings at the palace do you think I would leave them to you? I don't think so some how! Why don't you go back to your adar and live in your sheltered life. And leave the big things in life to us who live in the real world and not behind royalty and atars!"
"I do not hide behind my adar or anything else! Believe me I have faced worse things than you could ever imagine!"
"I don't think so little elf! You didn't live were I did, you didn't have the horrors that lay behind every corner in your life! At least your home is well protected and you still have some people that care about you! You never consider anyone else apart from you!"
"You both are as bad as each other! I could hear you on the other side of Mirkwood!" came a voice from behind them.
Well go on review let me now what you think :D ~~

"Well it would be nice to actually know what we did to you!"
"Why should I give you an easy ride? You certainly don't deserve it. You didn't even give me a choice. You can do some of the hard work for a change!" She was becoming angrier by the minute. The memories came flooding back. Her horse began to move around as he picked up her agitation.
"Did you intend to run?"
"No I left all my belongings at the palace do you think I would leave them to you? I don't think so some how! Why don't you go back to your adar and live in your sheltered life. And leave the big things in life to us who live in the real world and not behind royalty and atars!"
"I do not hide behind my adar or anything else! Believe me I have faced worse things than you could ever imagine!"
"I don't think so little elf! You didn't live were I did, you didn't have the horrors that lay behind every corner in your life! At least your home is well protected and you still have some people that care about you! You never consider anyone else apart from you!"
"You both are as bad as each other! I could hear you on the other side of Mirkwood!" came a voice from behind them.
Well go on review let me now what you think :D ~~
