Hey guys, this is the last chapter! Be sure to check the bottom for a
preview of the next story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Legolas was shaking his head at the tale Aragorn was telling him. "Wait, so you're the one who poisoned me?"
Aragorn laughed. "No, no I wasn't. It was Mar."
Legolas raised an eyebrow. "But you told him to."
"You know, Legolas, I felt guilty enough about it. You don't have to rub it in."
"Okay, so we're both on our way to be hanged-"
"Burnt at the stake, actually."
"Okay, we're on our way to be burnt. Then what happened?"
"Then, well," Aragorn hesitated. "You started acting weird. I can only assume it was the drug in you, taking affect, but, I remember you talking to me."
"I remember talking to you. I remember seeing-"
"Your grandfather."
Legolas nodded. "And Tarduain, and his head guard."
"It wasn't them, Legolas. The three you saw weren't evil. Maybe it was the drug that triggered the image, but they were elves. Minastir, Aldarion, and Telemnar."
Legolas' eyes grew wide. "No. Really? You mentioned them coming, but I never thought they were in the crowd. How on earth did they end up there?"
"Went here first. Asked your brother where to find the city."
Legolas' eyes dropped, but quickly sought those of his friend again. "I have to warn my father about the plan."
"No, Legolas. That's the weirdest part. First of all, Jerilan is dead. And the plot was not against your father. It was against Mithfalas!" He finished the tale, leaving Legolas stunned.
"No wonder I slipped away from it. I didn't want to remember any of that." Legolas had his back turned to Aragorn, pulling off the shirt his father had given him. His own was finally clean, and so he went to put it back on. He looked down, lightly fingering the small J. He sighed, and slipped into his tunic.
Aragorn watched his friend carefully. He knew something was wrong. He'd known it for a long time, but Legolas was not forthcoming with the information. "Are you all right, Legolas?"
"I am fine."
Legolas didn't want the man to see his scar. The scar was a symbol of weakness, helplessness, fear, and pain; four things that the prince wanted to forget.
"So you killed him, then?" Aragorn let the elf change the topic. "No, it was one of the elves. He was just saying how time was running out, and wham! He's dead, on the ground."
"I now officially owe my life to about a dozen people."
"Well, technically, seven. But who's counting?"
Legolas looked over his shoulder and smiled at his friend. "I wonder where my father is. I'll be returning home within the hour."
"How long do you suppose it will be before I see you again?"
Legolas shook his head. "Well, Elrond is finally holding that tournament. I'll be at Rivendell for that."
"Oh, but that's at least two years away."
"Strider, I *am* a Mirkwood elf, you know. I do not reside in Rivendell."
The human smiled. "You could have fooled me."
"I am a prince, Strider. I have duties to tend to. I have people to protect."
"I know. I just don't understand it right now, that's all. You should be able to get away more often."
"You will understand it. You will have your own people to rule over in due time."
"Yeah, yeah. Are you sure you're all right?"
The elf rolled his eyes. "You are going to make a wonderful mother someday, Strider."
"Oh, that was funny. Look at me laughing," Aragorn said, pointing to a very serious face. Legolas could not help but to release his own peals of laughter, and his friend soon joined in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Galadriel, Elrond, and Thranduil watched the two friends with smiles on their faces. The Lady of the Wood turned to the elf's father.
"The scar will never leave him, Thranduil. He will carry it the rest of his long life."
"Do I have your word that his life will indeed be long?"
The Lady did not answer his question. "You are missing my point, Thranduil. It will always be a reminder to him, of what happened. He doesn't need any more reminders." Without giving the elven lord a chance to respond, she turned to Elrond, and spoke within his mind; words that would never be heard by Thranduil.
"You've been as much a father to him as Thranduil has. Do not stop that now. He will need you, before it is over."
"What is 'it', milady?"
"You will know."

Reviewers: Am I just cruel to end a story like that? Second of all, a BIG thank you to everyone who reviewed for me! Also, I know that chapter was short, but the last one would have been way too large with this attached.
SPEoD: That's awesome. That's what it was like for me. I was having private lessons with my trainer and nothing was happening, and I switched trainers, and BOOM, I was jumping courses with my hot 16.2 hh Thoroughbred. I wouldn't even canter him with my old trainer. It was amazing. Sometimes just learning with someone new makes all the difference. I didn't tell you? I'm looking for a new trainer. The deal with Apollo fell through, so I won't be buying him. I won't even go into that. I pulled my other horse out that night, at like 10:00. Weird, bad stuff was happening, and we just needed to get out. We will see Fal again. I'm so glad I've received a good response to him. I was scared no one was gonna like him. Thanks for the review, and I hope they let you switch to the other lesson!
ForceofHobbit: Laughing my butt off. I never thought I'd have someone planning a wedding with Fal. That's so awesome! I'm putting your review in my favourite reviews folder. Lol. I love déjà vu, freaky stuff, huh? Thanks for the great reviews, and I hope I'll see ya next time around!
Deana: I know, his brother just keeps leaving him!
Leggylover03: Lol. That was funny.
Angel With No Wings: Lol, interesting is what I was aiming for. And do not let the next story fool you. There will be a conflict quite soon. Lol. He's kind of forgiving him already, but after so long of hating him, it's hard, you know?
DaRkMyTh: Hi! Thank you so much for reviewing! I hope to see you in the next story as well!
Nenya: Lol, yeah, that's it. AFTER the new form of torture. Uhm, look below for what the next story is about. And hey, there's a preview too! It's a little different from my others, and it will be a little shorter than normal, but it'll be fun. It centers, actually, surprisingly, mostly on Aragorn. But no worries, there is a lot of Leggy. Ah, yay, you're proud of me! I know, pooy, I like Mithfalas too now. We will see more of him in the future. Anyway, it's gonna be so hard for me to kill him off. . . ::wink:: And please write a fic! I really wanna read it!
Fire Eagle: Okey-dokies, this is gonna be one LONG review, so buckle your seat belt! (I love Tolkien. Leggy was my favoruite character even before the movies came out, so I've done my research on him.) Why I think he's not an only child, and definitely not the oldest: First of all, look who was at the council of Elrond. I mean, Glorfindel was there. Leggy would have to be someone really important to get chosen (For he did not volunteer in the books, he was chosen.) Look how he introduces himself: "I am one of the Nine Companions who set out with Mithrandir from Imladris," said Legolas, "and with this Dwarf, my friend, I came with Lord Aragorn." - RotK. If he's a pretty important guy, why doesn't he say he's the crown prince of Mirkwood? If he gave away Estel's identity, there was no reason to keep his own secret. Number 2: Remember in the books that Gandalf sent Gullom to King Thranduil for safe keeping, but did not tell him why. Legolas is sent to Elrond to tell him about it. First question in this event: why is the king's "only" son sent as a messenger? Surly they have elves whose soul jobs are to be messengers. As Legolas tells Elrond about Gollum, he uses extensive detail and goes on for a little over two pages. One would think that he witnessed it first hand for the amount of detail he uses. Strange, why would the king's only son be guarding a prisoner whose importance was unknown? Number 3: Besides at the council, (There was also a strange elf clad in green and brown. . .) Legolas is never referred to as a prince or Thranduil's son. Gimli, when talking to Legolas about Thranduil, says, "Your king," rather than, "Your father." Indeed, Legolas even says, "If my elven-lord allows," while Elrohir says he has a message "from my father." Strange, isn't it? This is not a strong argument, but if he is not an only child, he would not inherit his father's land, and therefore would really have no reason to let others know that he is a prince. Number 4: When talking about his people, he ALWAYS says "we." It's as if he considers himself as a normal citizen, rather than a prince. And, I'd never thought about it before, but your reasoning makes sense too. Lol, was that confusing? I can send you a really good article on it. Lol, and yes, in the story after the next one, we will see a definite conflict between friends over Arwen. ::he he:: And see, I asked out of curiosity. You are the ONLY person who knows WHY Mithfalas was exiled. Kudos! And yeah, I'll probably write a back story to that at some point.
Lizzie: Lol, so not odd. I am the same exact way! Legolas in pain is hot!
Dimostiel: Well why on earth did you walk on them?!?!? Silly person. Lol, yeah, Mithfalas is awesome. I love him! Not as much as Leggy tho! (Lol, you can tell when I get tired, I start using shorthand.)
Elainor: We will see Fal again, that I promise. Thrandy is awesome. He's one of my fav's. Did you read Bed of Lies? That would explain some of the awkwardness-ness. Lol. But trust me, we'll see a lot more of that soon too.
Lulu Bell: 8k. I thought you were trying for shorter? Mmmmm, not saying too much, but did I ever actually SAY that she doesn't like him anymore? Ha, see below, I took your advice on the story title. ( Thanks for the idea! Oh, hun, no worries. I read novels and try to rewrite them for the authors. Or I start coming up with what should happen, so I write a mental sequel for them. I'm glad you liked my philosophy. I took it my first year, and I loved the class, but unfortunately, I have so little time anyway, and there was no real use for it in either of my majors. Oh well, it was fun at any rate. Lol, I love Finding Nemo. "Goodbye Bingo, I mean Nemo!" I have friends everywhere. I need to send stuff to both coasts, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas. . . I even have one package going to Singapore. (Shipping alone is going to kill me.) I'm not sure what I'm doing for Christmas yet. One of my friends invited me to his family's for Christmas, and they live pretty close. I really want to go, but I'm torn, because I've always spent Christmas with my parents. I really don't know what to do, and I don't have long to figure it out. I might go home and make a road trip out of it. . . we'll see. So does your dad work ALL day on Christmas, or just early? Wow, jeez. You are accident-prone. Do you know what you did to your thumb/palm? I couldn't survive if I couldn't type. Hope it gets better soon! Did you watch Pirates? I did. I had so much work to do that night, too, and I watched the movie and didn't get any of it done. Ah, you should have seen my today during my breaks, scrambling to get work done. Ah, that's funny. My friend and I have nicknamed each other Barbossa and Sparrow. Thanks for the great review! I'll see you next story!
Gwyn: Not necessarily spoilerific, as you so eloquently put it. ::smiles:: But I suppose we shall see, won't we? Oh, aren't I evil? Hey, he only hit Legolas once. That's it! I'm with ya on that one, but I needed it for the plot. He's a good king, I love him!
Wildfire2: No romance, I swear. Anyway, I already talked to ya about that. Believe me, it is going to make for a very good Legolas/Aragorn story. Your questions about Fal are good. You picked up on some foreshadowing, though I don't know whether or not you knew you did. We will see more of Fal, though, I promise. And thanks for the nice review!
WeasleyTwinsLover1112: Oh yeah, A&W is huge here. Oh, they have the best corn dogs in the world! And of course there is the root beer. . . Yeah, I made the university part. . . still waitressing, but only because I need to finish college. After that, I'll get a permanent job. I can't believe I'm giving away this huge part of my story, but. . . Thranduil will have a reaction to Fal. (::gasp:: Shame on me!) But just not yet. Oh, a standoff, hm? I hadn't thought of that, but I'm liking the idea. Tell me more of what you had in mind. . .? Pretty please?
F h c: Yeah, it does seem like quite some time ago, doesn't it? It is the same story. Aw, thanks!
Okay, here's the deal: The next story. I was hit by my muse, and so I need to write another story between this one, and the one I originally had following it. I will either try to write that one really fast, or I will write a back story to either Oropher or Mithfalas. Here are summaries of all three choices. Please let me know in your reviews which one you want. Whichever gets the most votes is the one I will write. (Dear Lord, I all ready bet I know which one is gonna win.) Any way, I will have to write it before I can get it up. 115 wmp, though. I can write it quickly! Anyway, please let me know.
The Heart of the Matter:
Aragorn and Legolas have faced many things together, including death. However, their friendship is still new, and distance, like wind to a candle, extinguishes many memories. The prince is preoccupied with matters at home, and Aragorn has traveled North for a little while. Both are going through trials and hard times that they cannot face alone. How can they help each other?
It will be done a bit differently than I've done the last few, but I'm hoping it will be well-liked!
A Mystery Shrouded in Lies:
What really happened between Mithfalas and Thranduil? Not all of Legolas' memories are complete, and part of the story is missing. Can Legolas cope with the loss of his mother and his brother, while trying to help his father, or is it too much to ask of one elf?
Family Matters:
Oropher hated his son the moment he was born. He couldn't place the reason, but the match had been lit. He hid his dislike until his first grandson was born. It was then that the flame ignited. Just how far would one elf go to hurt his son?
Basically, the story of what went on the first time Legolas was in Oropher's hands. Features Elrohir, and yes, Mithfalas is in it too.
Your votes are appreciated! Otherwise, it'll take me FOREVER to decide, and therefore forever to upload.
