Tree Climber: Thank you for the formating info! It works great! I am not sure if this is long enough for you, but I just didn't want to combine chapters together today since I haven't updated this story for a LONG time.
Mizz-Gal: Well, the mysterious she-elf is mentioned in this chapter so you do get to hear a little bit more about her and maybe I will put her in a later chapter.
"Is she asleep?" Estel asked softly as he silently slipped into the room.
"Yes, she is asleep, but in a way I wish she wasn't." Legolas muttered softly.
"Why?" Walking up to his Elven friend, Estel knelt down by the chair that Legolas sat in and gazed at the young girl, who had only been crying a few moments before. "What did she say to you while my father was talking to me?"
"Well, she found out that I am an Elf, which shocked her a bit. I found out that her father also had a situation like mine. He got into an accident and he, too, lost control of his legs. A word called paralyzed is what Terra said," Legolas shook his head and sighed as he looked down. "I don't think I have ever forgiven myself for falling in love with Lómiodien. I should have known better, but my heart fell in love with her kindness, willingness to help others, and her beauty, but I always looked deeper then that."
"Legolas, you have nothing to forgive yourself for or to even feel guilty. Elven hearts have never listened to their Masters for they have none. It is not who you want to fall in love with, but whom your heart falls in love with instead. It was not Lómiodien's fault that she had feelings for another nor was it her fault that she could not marry him since her parents had already arranged her marriage to her husband."
"You are right, mellonnin, but no matter how hard I try, my body nor my heart wants to heal and I just have to give up sometimes as I try but fall."
"When you first began to shoot your bow did you get bulls-eyes right away?"
"No, I couldn't even shoot the arrows much less get a bulls-eye."
"Yet you didn't give up, did you?" Legolas shook his head. "Then why are you giving up now? Just because you can't do something now doesn't mean that it is impossible. Maybe you can't see yourself walking any time soon, but when you get your body cured somehow you will be healed and you will be able to run like the wind once more. Climb the trees and chase me down while skipping off the branches above my head."
Legolas laughed a bit as he looked at the ranger next to him. "Do you really think that I could do that Estel?"
"Hold in your heart my name and remember that when you hold this your hold me and hope. Don't forget it not matter what anyone says either. As long as you hold Estel in your heart you hold both friendship and hope."
"Thank you, Estel. I shall never forget these words that you have told me."
"Well, you better not and not with that Elven mind of yours. Now, do you want to leave or do you want to spend more time here?"
"I think I would like to stay for a bit longer. I have a lot to think about now, but do you think I could be alone?"
"Yea, I think you can be alone as you think. I will be back in an hour to see if you want to leave yet." Estel got up slowly and headed for the door, but stopped as he looked behind him and smiled a sad smile when he saw his friend sitting back in the chair deep in thought already and the young girl laying asleep on the large bed.
Shaking his head, the human left the room quickly and shut the door silently behind him before walking down the hall towards the kitchen for a midday meal.
A/N: Ah, another up and done!! If it is short, well Oops! Sorry, but I am not that good at writing fanfictions. Books I can write, fanfictions I can't. I don't understand it, but hey what can I say! Reviews are GREAT, but don't forget that flamers get punished!!!!!
