Chapter 1

It was a sunny day out yet it was chilly. Legolas rode with all haste to Imladris. He was anxious to see his friend Estel. He must also warn Elrond of the band of orcs he had seen on the way. They were too close to the borders of the elven realm.

He slowed his steed as he approached the gates. The guards knowing him all too well ushered him right in. As Legolas dismounted his horse he was met at once by Elladan and Elrohir.

"What are you doing here?" said Elladan

"Well, I am happy to see you too." Legolas laughed.

"No, I mean Estel left early this morning to ride out to meet you."

"I did not see him." Legolas said his voice now tinged with worry.

"Come let us tell father." Elrohir said over his shoulder as he was already heading for the door.

Elrond sat in his study hoping Estel and Legolas would soon return. His thoughts were interrupted when the twins burst in.

"Elladan, how many times do I have to say knock?" Elrond spoke but the rest of his lecture died out as Legolas came in the room. He waited for Estel to enter, and when he did not he turned to Elrohir. "Where is your brother?" worry apparent in his voice

"Legolas claims he did not see him." Elladan said.

"There is more," The blond haired elf said, "There is a band of orcs just on the outskirts of Imladris."

"Oh Elbereth." Elrond replied putting his head in his hands. If there were orcs Estel was sure to run into them.

"Elladan, Elrohir ride and see what your brother has gotten himself into."

"I will ride with you." Legolas chimed in.

"You need rest." Elrond said to no avail, for Legolas had a determined look on his face. "Very well, young prince, but be careful."

"I will, Lord Elrond."

"We will bring Estel home, Ada, do not worry." Elladan stated heading out the door.

Elrond did just that. He was full of dread thinking about what had befallen his youngest this time. He sat down in his chair and pushed the paperwork away. No work would be done this day.
