Chapter 7- Thoughts
Marth gave Roy a glare that told him not to follow. Then walked calmly out. Upon exiting and closing the door he ran to the place he found earlier. Upon arriving he noticed that Legolas was sitting by the fountain that was in the middle. This garden was small in size and was very different looking then the others. There were trees that surrounded the clearing instead of flowers. This Garden had rows of flowers though. Kind of outlining the trees. It closed into toward the fountain, with a pathway leading to it.
"What do you want?" Marth asked rather harshly.
Legolas flinched the slightest bit at the sound of his voice.
"I just came to ask why you left so early? What made you upset that you just walked out?" Legolas asked in the same tone as Marth.
"Legolas, forgive me for yelling at you. Roy is the only one who knows what I'm going through fully and completely. No offense but you still have your dad, therefore you don't know what I'm going through. So please don't ask. I'd rather just be alone." Marth softened his tone.
Legolas chuckled, "Nobody but you and me know this place. Look up." Marth did what Legolas instructed and waited for Legolas To continue. "You can't see clearly. Can you? The trees are blocking your view, but when you know how to see past the trees, then a beautiful site awaits you." Legolas advised Marth.
Marth pondered that for a while. "So what your saying is I am like the trees. Nobody can see through me. Roy is like the person who has learned to look past the trees. The only one who can see past the trees and I would like to keep it that way." Marth pointed out after sitting down.
"If you want to put it that way, then yes. That is what I'm saying." Legolas smiled.
He turned and started to leave.
He was stopped by Marth's next words, "I'm also like arock. Hard to break. Remember that."
Legolas stood in the same spot for a couple of minutes before continuing. Marth was left sitting by the fountain, with only his thoughts to keep him company.
"Marth, where have you been! I was looking all for you." Roy acknowledged as he walked into his own room.
"Roy, why are you in room?" Marth acknowledged back.
"I was waiting for you to come back. Legolas said he last saw you in the gardens, so I looked. When I didn't find you, I came back to your room." Roy responded.
"Well, I was in a secret garden that I found." Marth then changed the subject, "So when are we going to battle?"
Roy didn't bother to change the subject back, "Legolas said we'd start tomorrow. He also told me that we should go with him after the battle. Well, see you morning Marth."
Marth sat down on his bed when Roy left, thinking about that days events.
*Flashback*
"You two are extrodenary swordsmen. Where did you learn to be so skilled…" "Obviuosly not good enough. We traineed because we had to. We trained to be the best, and it wasn't good enough."
*end flashback*
'Why? Why do I even bother to continuue to fight? My kingdom is gone, there's no more armies willing to fight under my command. I'm a prince, so why is Roy acting so much calmer then I? Here's 16 years old. His died when he was away from an illness and no doubt many men died at his command. Yet he acts so joyful. Well, I can't sleep tonight. I think I'll head to the garden. It's peaceful there. Perhaps I could fall asleep there.' Marth thought, getting up.
He wrote a quick a note and left his sword, then left through the window. The next morning when Celebfea went to wake Marth nobody answered.
"Where's Marth?" Celebfea asked Roy as he walked up.
"I don't know. It doesn't surprise me. Marth needed to be alone." Roy yawned.
Roy opened the door and looked around. He saw that Falchion was still there. He went in farther and noticed that Falchion was in a position that looked like it belonged there and yet said that it was anchoring something.
"I'll find him." Roy stated as Legolas walked up.
"Well, hurry. My father wishes us to leave soon." Legolas then departed with Celebfea behind him.
Roy walked in and took the note. It read:
Roy,
you are probably looking for me. I went to the secret Garden I told you about. If I'm not back, by the time you need to leave come get me. Ask Legolas to show you where it is. I'll be waiting.
Marth.
"Legolas!" Roy yelled after reading the note.
Minutes later Legolas burst in.
"Legolas could you lead me to the secret garden?" Roy asked handing him the letter.
Legolas read the note. As soon as he finished he nodded and walked out. Roy followed suit. When they arrived at he garden they could see no tracee of Marth. Roy frowned and walked under a tree.
'Now just a little closer. If only Legolas was with him. Oh well.' Marth thought.
Legolas glanced around and noticed Marth in a tree in a jumping position. He decided to wait at the fountain. Roy was too fascinated to see Legolas' motion.
"Wow. These trees are beautiful. They must be thousands of years old." Roy pointed out.
'Better do it now.' Marth thought. "You're right son of Pharea." Marth jumped down from his position and landed on the young general.
"Prince Marth of Altea. You're royalty. You can't play jokes on your generals. Besides that was childish. You couldn't come up with anything better?" Roy teased.
"Well, I did want to get BOTH you and Legolas under the tree. I guess Legolas deserves more credit the I give him. Besides, your not just my general. Your also my friend" Marth smiled.
"Thanks Marth." Roy replied sarcastically.
Legolas watched the scene unfold. He chuckled and smiled, having that bring back memories with him and Aragorn.

For those of you who have been waiting the other smasher will be here next chapter. Thanks for waiting patiently. Also, I may be using what looks like jiberish, but my friend actually made a language based off of a game language. I may be using that.
