Aragorn walked down the dirt track, humming a soft tune to himself. He was almost at the borders of Lorien, sent by Lord Elrond of Rivendell to deliver a message to Galadriel asking for so form of assistance. As he walked into the Lorien borders he was greeted by the guards. One of those guards was an elf by the name of Haldir, he was a good friend of Aragorns for many years now. "Welcome Aragorn, it is good to see you again" Haldir said embracing his friend.
"And you too, your looking well" Aragorn commented.
"As do you" Haldir replied, grinning.
"I have come to deliver a message to Galadriel, where might she be?" Aragorn asked kindly.
"She rests in her chamber, follow me I will take you to her" Haldir offered leading him into Lorien.
As they walked together amongst the trees something caught Aragorn's eye. There was an elf sitting all by his self dangling his feet in the cool water of the creek.
"Who's that?" Aragorn asked, watching the beautiful creature.
"That's Prince Legolas of Mirkwood" Haldir replied.
"Mirkwood?, then why is he here?" Aragorn questioned.
"It is a sad story, he came here many years ago after his parents were slain by men, They took over Mirkwood and killed most of the Mirkwood elves. The surviors came here" Haldir explained.
"That's terrible" Aragorn exclaimed.
"Yes, he hasn't said a word since" Haldir added, shaking his head, sadly.
"Come, we are almost there" He said, walking forwards again. Aragorn glanced at the elf once more before following Haldir.
Aragorn wanted to find out more about the elf named Legolas but decided he had pleanty of time to do that after he'd spoken to Galadriel.
They entered Galadriel's chambers and bowed before her as she entered the room. "Welcome Aragorn son of Arathorn, what news of Rivendell do you bring?" Galadriel asked, offering him a seat.
"The Mortal men of Gondor are drawing closer to Rivendell, They are content on a war. Lord Elrond asks for an army of your elven warriors to help defend Rivendell. It would be greatly appreciated" Aragorn explained, taking a sip of the drink that was offered to him.
Galadriel took in the information and nodded her head. "I shall send an army back with you to help, I know my dear friend Lord Elrond would to the same if it was Lothloriens fate, these men you speak of, they fight only for one thing. They beleive the great ring of power lies within Rivendell and with the greed of men, they will do anything to recive this evil power" Galadriel explained, using her mind abilities.
"They do not wish to reason with the elves" Aragorn stated calmly.
"Indeed, you may go and rest now Estel" She said, seeing him out.
"Haldir, will you go and see that a room is made up for our guest" She told him politely. Haldir gave a small bow before walking down the hallway followed by Aragorn. "I am going to go for a walk before I rest" Aragorn informed Haldir.
"Ok, if you need anything I'll be here" Haldir said as Aragorn walked away.
Aragorn stepped out into the cool night breeze, breathing deeply. He wanted to find the elf that he had seen earlier. He soon found Legolas, shooting arrows at a practice target he made out of cloth. He stood behind the young elf, watching him as he hit his target again.
"You are a skilled archer i see" Aragorn commented, causing the young elf to jump at the man's sudden pressance.
"I apoligize, I did not mean to startle you, My name is Aragorn" He said, stepping towards the elf. Legolas stepped back away from the strange man and stared at him nervously.
"Do not be frightened Legolas, I will not harm you" Aragorn said calmly. How did this man know his name, and why was he bothering him Legolas wondered. He ignored the man and turned back to his archery only to miss the target. Aragorn picked up to arrow and held it out to Legolas. He looked at the arrow in Aragorns hand, not making any moves. Aragorn stepped closer to the elf but as soon as he did Legolas turned and ran.
"No, wait" Aragorn called but the elf was already out of sight.
Legolas ran until he was sure he was away from the man. He sat down on the soft grass and as thoughts of his past haunted his mind he began to cry.
~Flashback~
Legolas watched as a heard of about a hundred men ran through the woodlands of Mirkwood, destroying everything in their path. He searched franticly for his mother and father. He soon found them in the hands of three men, holding daggers to their throats.
"No" Legolas cried, running to them only to be held back by one of the men. He struggled wildly as the men screamed at his father. The man through Lord Thranduil to the ground and stabbed him in the stomach several times. Legolas managed to kick the man holding him in the leg causing him to loose his grip on the elf. Legolas ran to his father, who was now gasping for breath.
"Father" Legolas whispered, cradling his father head in his lap.
Thranduil reached up and gently touched his son's cheek before letting out his last breath.
"No" Legolas whispered as a tear rolled down his face.
"Legolas!" He hear his mother frantic voice scream. Legolas looked up in time to see the same man who killed his father, holding a dagger over her delicate body. Legolas jumped up and ran towards them. By the time he reached them it was too late, the man plunged the dagger into her chest. He raised the dagger to reapet his actions, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by Legolas. The two other men ran in to help. Legolas saw them coming and skillfully took them down. He ran back to his mothers side and knelt in front of her inspecting the wounds.
"Legolas, leave me, you must go now" She commanded him, gasping in pain.
"But..." He started. His mother grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him close.
"Don't talk, don't say a word just run, get away from this place, Don't come back, now go, Go!" She yelled, pushing him away.
Legolas got up and ran as fast as he could. He couldn't help but to look back. He saw Mirkwood, him home destroyed and alight with fire. He saw Elves and men running, being killed, screaming in pain. And he saw him mother, surrounded by men beating her to death. Legolas ran and didn't stop. He ran for days, he ran until he could no longer and collapsed on the ground.
"Why didn't I save her, I'm such a coward, I let her die, I killed her" Legolas told himself, sobbing against the damp grass.
~End Flashback~
Legolas sighed as he stood up and wiped the remainding of his tears away. He looked up at the brightly shining moon and realised how late it was. He stood there for awhile, listening to the sounds of the wind as the gentle breaze tossled his hair, then he turned and headed back to where he rested.
A/N So what do you think? Should it be continued or screwed up?
