Chapter 6 ~ Archery Practice
It had been a week since Legolas' argument with Elrohir and Elladan, so he had been hanging out with Valia a lot. He had been teaching her how to use a bow, and had to admit, she was quite a natural. The two friends were on their way to the archery fields right now in fact to practice. Of course, she was no where near as good as Legolas with a bow, but then, neither were Elrohir and Elladan.
They had come down quite early in the morning to avoid the twins actually. But to their surprise, they found someone else out on the archery fields, it looked like a child with a small bow in hand and a few small arrows. The small being fixed an arrow into the bow and took aim.
"Oh look, it is only a child," said Valia.
"Shhh," Legolas put a finger to his lips indicating they be quiet, he didn't want to disturb the young being. He wanted to see how good he was. The small one let the arrow fly and it landed in the outer circle of the target. The little being sighed and dropped his head disappointedly. "Wait here," Legolas said to Valia and he made his way over to where the little one was stood. Valia took a seat on the spectators bench and watched Legolas talking to the small being. When Valia got a better look ,she saw that it was in fact a child.
"Ai pen-neth (hello young one)", Legolas bent down so that he was at the child's eye level.
"Ai," the child replied.
"Yan na lle? (who are you?)" Asked Legolas.
"Nin esta Estel (my name is Estel)," the child replied. "Yan na lle?"
"Nin esta Legolas. Lle anta amin tu? (Do you need help?)" He offered holding out his hand.
"Tancave (yes)," Estel replied.
Legolas smiled then stood up. He had heard of the child Estel before, but never actually met him. He had come here with his mother when his father had died and was now Lord Elrond's sort of adopted son. Estel looked up at the elf and said. "You are son of Thranduil?" the child converted back to the common tongue.
"Yes, I am," Legolas replied. He started to examine Estel's bow carefully. The child just gazed up at the elf. "How old are you Estel?" Legolas asked just out of curiosity.
"Seven years old," Estel replied.
"Seven? Well Estel, you have very good aim for a seven year old I must say. Very good indeed." Legolas handed the bow back to Estel.
"You are a very good archer Prince Legolas. I have watched you in a contest against my brothers and you beat them fair and square! And there is two of them."
Legolas smiled at the compliment then asked. "Brothers?"
"Yes, Elladan and Elrohir. They were supposed to be teaching me archery, but they refused. They say they have other things to do. Though Ada did say they were meant to help me." Estel said sadly. Legolas looked down on the child. Then had an idea.
"Hey Valia! Come over here!" he called to his friend sitting on the bench.
Valia got up and sprinted over to where the two boys stood. "What?"
"Estel, this is Valia, Valia this is Estel, Lord Elrond's son. Estel, this is my friend. I am teaching her archery too. Would you like us to help you learn?" Legolas offered kindly.
Estel perked up and said happily. "Yes please!"
"Wait, you are human?" said Valia looking at the child's ears.
"Yes Valia. He is. I'll explain later," Legolas whispered to his friend, nit wanting to discuss this in front of Estel in case he got up set. Valia nodded in understanding. "Ok you two, stand back and watch closely."
Valia pulled Estel back gently away from Legolas so that he did not get hurt as Legolas prepared his bow and fitted into it an arrow. He took aim and lined himself up with the target before letting the arrow fly and land neatly in the bulls-eye. Estel cheered and Valia just clapped as he went to retrieve his arrow from the target.
"Show off!" said Valia teasingly as Legolas made his way over to Estel and Valia.
"Ok, now it's your turn," he said.
Valia took up her bow and made her way to stand in front of the target and get ready to shoot. She lined herself up and aimed. Letting the arrow fly it impaled itself in the outer circle of the target near to where Estel's arrow had. She laughed at herself while the boys stood off to the side she cam back over to them. "Ok Estel, your turn."
"Estel, remember line yourself up with the bulls-eye, make sure you pull the bow back enough but not too much then let the arrow go, remember to let it go with some force ok?" Legolas instructed.
"Ok," Estel nodded and went out. He followed Legolas' instructions. Lining himself up, pulling the bow taught, the arrow fixed, his eye on his target and let it fly.
"Wahoo!" yelled Legolas, when Estel looked at the target, he saw his arrow impaled in the bulls-eye.
"I did it! I did it! Legolas, look! I hit the bulls-eye!" Estel dashed over to Legolas who picked the young human up and swung him around.
"Well done Estel!" called Valia.
"I'm going to go tell Ada! He will be so proud!" With that Estel gathered up his bow and ran off back down to the house of Elrond.
"Well, are you ready for your lesson now?" asked Legolas.
"I guess. So what's it going to be today? How about teaching me to actually learn how to aim?" Valia said.
"Yes, I think that would be a good place to start. Now, come on." The two went and lined themselves up with the target. Legolas stood behind her to guide her movements. "Ok, just do what I told Estel to do. Line yourself up with the bulls-eye, fit your arrow into your bow and pull back so that the string is taught ok? Now, are you lined up? Do you have a clear view of the bulls-eye?"
"Yes," Valia said, she pulled her arm back, Legolas guiding her. she squinted a little and when she was ready fired the arrow. It landed perfectly on the bulls-eye. "I did it!"
"Well done, now let's try it again," Legolas guided her movements once more and Valia hit the bulls-eye yet again. "Ok good, very good. Now, again." It was the same thing again, but this time, when Legolas guided Valia's arm back to shoot, she turned to him. She smiled as he looked at her. The next thing they both new was their lips together.
A/N Dun dun dun!!! Hehehehe, bit of a cliffie!!! Sorry it's a short chapter, but I'm just getting back into this. Looks like things are getting a little.. Hmm, what's the word. lovey dovey. Heheheeh!
