Elrohir and Ianna looked fearfully at each other. The orc's had set up camp right underneath them. If an orc happened to look up, and notice the bundle of ropes, they would surely cut it down.
Legolas stirred slightly, and Ianna was quick to quiet him.
"Little Greenleaf, you must be quiet. There are orcs right underneath us, and if they hear us they'll cut us down."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Not if it's orcs. They would kill us."
"Oh." Legolas thought for a bit, and suddenly, came up with an idea. Before he could voice it, however, they were spotted.
"Oy, look Gashnag. There's something in the tree." One yelled.
"Is it an elf?" The other inquired.
"Not sure. Looks like a spiders wrapping."
"Cut it down." a new voice replied. "Might be some meat."
The orc's axes hacked away at the ropes. And soon, the cocoon fell free.
As they fell down the ropes fell free. Elrohir and Ianna twisted and landed on their feet. Legolas, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He landed into the waiting arms of an orc.
"Look Gashnag. I've caught an elf. Mighty small one though."
Legolas looked up at the orc, and managed to put an insulted expression on his face.
"I beg you're pardon, but I am not an elf. How very rude. I should be insulted. Alas such is my curse that I must look like one of those confounded elves. Now do put me down master orc. I am an orcling, much as you once were and I doubt that you would wish to eat me."
Ianna and Elrohir stared at Legolas with disbelief and shock. The orc placed him down, and Legolas grandly bowed to him.
"Thank you master. I am forever in your debt. Surely if you and these other fine orcs, hadn't cut me and my pets down we would have been eaten by that dreadful spider. What do you think of my pets by the way? Caught them just a week ago. Took a while to tame them, but they finally came around. Now they do everything I tell them to do."
The orcs looked impressed with that fact. Never before had they heard of elves being kept as pets.
It went on and on, for quite a while; with Legolas talking the orcs into a stupor. All throughout the storm Legolas talked to the orcs, keeping them from questioning him. He had Ianna and Elrohir perform a show to entertain the orcs; in which the duo somersaulted, and back-flipped throughout the clearing, singing songs and doing whatever Legolas told them to do.
The orcs thoroughly enjoyed the show. In the end, they let Legolas and his 'pets' leave, with Legolas saying that he must 'get back to his colony'.
Once they were a safe distance away from the orc camp, Elrohir and Ianna burst out laughing.
"How did you think of such a magnificent plan little Greenleaf?" asked Elrohir, picking up Ianna's nickname for him. "I've never heard better."
"Well onetime when 'ren was in trouble with ada, he made up a story. So I just did the same."
"Well whatever it was, it was brilliant. I've never had such fun in my life. 'Alas, such is my curse, that I must look like one of those confounded elves'." Elrohir mimicked.
Everyone broke out laughing, and continued to laugh as they entered the palace grounds.

Thranduil paced his study, with Elrond looking on.
"Thranduil calm down. I'm sure that they are fine. I wouldn't be surprised if a soldier came right now and told you they were waiting in the audience hall.
Suddenly there was a knocking on the door.
"Enter." Said Thranduil.
A servant looked in and said, "My lords, they have returned. They await you in the audience hall."
Thranduil looked at Elrond. "How do you do that?"
Elrond looked stunned and didn't answer. Instead, they made their way to the audience hall in silence.
Legolas turned around when the doors opened behind him.
When the lords of the elven communities had settled in he began.
"Ada, how many words would you like us to describe our adventure in?" He asked.
Thranduil looked at Elrond who shrugged. "One if possible." He replied.
Legolas looked at Elrohir who grinned back. "Orcling." He replied.
The lords looked at each other in confusion. "Orcling? You had better start at the beginning."
The trio began telling of all that had occurred since they had been tied up. Legolas even had Ianna and Elrohir demonstrate their 'show'. By the end of it, Elrond and Thranduil could barely contain their mirth.
Suddenly Legolas remembered. "My stone. It's still at the campsite."
"Which stone?" Thranduil asked.
"My light stone. The diamond." Legolas looked so distressed.
"I'm sorry Legolas. It's too dangerous out there right now. You got home right before the storm struck. We'll have to find it tomorrow. In the meantime you three get some rest."
The trio went to Elrohir's guest room, to wait out the storm. Legolas fell asleep within the first ten minutes, and that left Elrohir and Ianna to their own devices.
"Poor little Greenleaf. That stone means a lot to him. It's the first stone that he got to work." She leaned back against Elrohir's sturdy chest.
It's alright. Tomorrow we'll find it. Now you get some rest. I'll wake you when the storm lessens."
Ianna nodded, too tired to argue, and gave Elrohir a little kiss. He returned it, then released so that she could sleep.
