Chapter 3
Usual disclaimer.

Elrond saw Kathios making his way to Legolas. Quickly, he excused himself from his conversation and went after him. He quickly grabbed Kathios's shoulder. "Where do you think you are going?" He asked. Kathios turned.
"That's none of your business." Kathios spat. Elrond raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" He asked. Kathios nodded. "You will leave Legolas alone." He said. Kathios glared at Elrond. Elrond let go of his shoulder and made his way to Legolas, just to keep Kathios from going to him. He stormed away and went to his barracks and laid down on his bed.
~~~Flashback~~~
Little Kathios watched the royal family from Mirkwood walk through Rivendell with Elrond and his family. He saw a small blond elf laughing with Elladan and Elrohir. "Legolas, that would be funny. Let's do it tonight at dinner." Elladan said. Elrohir nodded in agreement.
"Hey Elladan! Hey Elrohir!" Kathios called out. They both turned their heads, but continued walking. Saying nothing, they went back to talking with Legolas. Kathios glared at the elflings who he thought were his friends.
That night at dinner, Elladan and Elrohir had a place between them empty. Kathios was about to go and sit there, but they halted him. "We are saving that for Legolas." They said. Kathios snorted and walked away. Then he saw Legolas come into the room and sit between the elves. They immediately started laughing about something. He went to talk to his father, but his father was talking to the King of Mirkwood, and his mother to the queen.
"Naneth!" Kathios said, sitting beside her.
"Just a minute, amin utinu." She said, putting a finger to his lips. Kathios sat back in his chair and crossed his small arms over his chest.
When Kathios's family was finished eating, he followed his parents to their home. 'Stupid Legolas. Stupid wood elves. They put a spell on all the elves in Rivendell.' He thought to himself. 'They should go away. My parents don't even listen to me.' As they walked, there were several screams. Kathios and his parents turned around, and saw many elves running from the dining hall. Then he heard two voices yell, "Elladan! Elrohir!" and "Legolas!" Kathios laughed. He then noticed that his parents were running towards the commotion. He was able to see Legolas and the twins being reprimanded by their fathers. Legolas said something and looked up at his father with his big blue eyes, and his father laughed. Elrond laughed as well and patted his sons' heads.
"If it ever happens again, however…" Elrond said.
"Never again." The three elves recited. Elrond and Thranduil laughed and went to take care of the snake that had been released in the dining hall. Then he heard his parents laughing.
"A snake! How clever!" his Ada said. His Naneth laughed.
'How do they all think it's clever? Why aren't they in trouble? Now I know Legolas did something to them. He put a spell on everyone in Rivendell. I know it!'
~~~End Flashback~~~
Kathios clenched his fists. The next night he tried a smiliar trick on his own, and he was in huge trouble. That confirmed his suspicions. Legolas was some sort of witch-elf. He had obviously put a spell on Elrond making him take his side. "Stupid wood elf…"
…~…~…
Elrond stepped beside Legolas. "He was coming to me wasn't he?" Legolas asked. Elrond nodded. " I don't understand Lord Elrond." Legolas said.
"I'm sorry, Legolas." He said. Legolas sighed and leaned against the wall. "Is something else the matter?" Elrond asked him.
"My father sent a letter to me saying that the orcs and spiders are coming closer to Mirkwood, and it's getting harder to keep them at bay. He said to not let it interfere with the Fellowship." Legolas told Elrond. "But I can't help feeling I should be there. I miss the trees." Elrond put a hand to Legolas's shoulder.
"Have faith in your Kin, Legolas. They will keep your city safe." Elrond said. Legolas nodded, but he was still unsure. Suddenly, a small, blond elfling appeared in front of Legolas.
"Come tell us another tale." She said, looking at his with her big green eyes. Legolas smiled.
"Alright." He said to the little elf. He turned to Elornd. "Thank you." Elrond nodded and slipped his hands inside his sleeves. The little elfling grabbed Legoals's hand and pulled him beside a fire, and insisted on sitting in his lap while he told the elves a tale.

Legolas woke up in the middle of the night when he heard raised voices below his balcony. "Please don't be Kathios." He whispered as he climbed out of bed and crept out onto the balcony. It was not Kathios, much to his relief, but it was Arwen and Aragorn. What were they doing up?
"Arwen, I would have you cross the seas with your Kin." Aragorn said. Arwen shook her head.
"And I would wait here for you." She replied.
"I may never return." Aragorn said.
"You will. Your destiny will not go unfulfilled." Arwen replied. Legolas crept from the balcony careful to make no noise. This was between Aragorn and Arwen and did not concern him.
When he tried to fall asleep, he failed. So he got up and went to the desk in his room. He found a piece of parchment and a quill, and started to sketch out Rivendell. He loved to draw when he had nothing better to do. He let his hand do whatever it wanted to as he drew, pulling his idea from a picture of a memory he had. When he finished, he looked over the final product. It was of when he was visiting Rivendell for the first time, and he was with Elladan and Elrohir. It was from the perspective of someone on the side of the street. Something caught his eye. There was a little elf standing on the other side, his mouth open like he was trying to say something, but the three elves were in their own little world of pranks. Who was it, and how come he didn't remember seeing his there before?
