I'm sorry it took so long for me to do this chapter, i've been very busy with school work!

Legolas looked at the small boat ahead of him, it was grey and slender, ready to set sail.

"Are you sure that you want to do this?" His friend Gimli asked

"Yes, there is nothing left for me here"

Legolas elegantly slipping into the waiting boat and Gimli climbed in clumsily after him. The elf picked up the oars and then paused looking into the distance.

"What is it that you see?"

"A rider, from Mirkwood! We must wait"

The rider's blonde hair streamed out behind him, catching the sunlight as he rode briskly towards Legolas and Gimli.

"Prince Legolas" He called out, "Do not leave I have joyful news for you"

Legolas jumped out of the boat and ran gracefully to the rider.

"What is it?"

The messenger dismounted.

"Lalaithwen is not dead"

Light came to Legolas' face and tears welled up in his eyes.

"She is alive?"

"Yes, it was a mistake"

He was speechless, no words could express the joy that he felt in his heart.

"Legolas, what is happening?"

The elf turned towards his friend.

"I am going to Mirkwood"

"But I thought you never wanted to see that place again?"

"My fortunes in this world have changed, master dwarf, come with me and see the wonderous forest of Mirkwood"

THIS IS NOT THE END. ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO
