What do you mean?

I constantly ask myself this as I watch my mother walk onto the ship that will take her away from me forever.

Why do you leave me?

She waves from the ship as it pulls out. I do not wave back. I do not want to believe that she would leave her only son on the shoreline why she so easily goes. My father guides me away and back towards the horses. I turn to him then, looking up at him since I am but a child.

" hy did mother leave?"@

He looks down at me with such sadness that I cannot bear to look at him any longer. So I run, I run to the place where no one goes. To my little hidey-hole where no one can bother me. Where the memory of my fathers haunting eyes and my mothers waving form on a ship.

That takes her away from me.

" egolas?"@

Angry I have been found I grumble inward. I look down from my tree that sits in the middle of Mirkwood to see my father, Thranduil, standing at the base of my tree.

" hat is it?"@ I call down to him still unwilling to leave my haven. He looks a bit confused at the moment, as if hesitating to answer my simple request. Steeling his resolve, finally, he looks up and says.

" have an answer to your question."@

' y question?'@Then I remember ' hy did mother leave?'@It had seemed such a simple question at the time. It was after all something a child would say when they didn' understand, but I was a child and at that point...no I didn' understand. But now I do so many reasons point to me, was I the reason mother left. If I wasn' why didn' she take me with her? Did she hate me? Was I too much of a hassle to her? These ideas saddened me, ' he left because of me?'@ " o!"@I shout, " his cannot be!"@

" egolas? What' wrong?"@My father shouts from the ground but is it my father? Hands shake me attempting to get me to understand. But the odd thing is they are not my fathers for he is on the ground and I am up in a tree.

" egolas?....Legolas??!"@

" egolas?"@ My eyes focus as I leave the dreaming state that elves endure. A familiar figure kneels over me, looking worriedly over my face.

" ragorn?"@I ask questionably curious to see why he has woken me up. He looks relieved for a moment and sits back allowing me room to sit up. " hy did you wake me?"@He blushes for a moment before saying.

" orry I thought it was unusual for elves to call out in their sleep."@ *
