It was the next day I had been exploring the halls of the House of
Elrond and had found a comfortable reading room. There was a cushioned,
high-backed chair against one wall and a couple of shelves full of books. I
didn't need a book, just a place to read.
I had settled myself down, and had been reading my book for ten minutes or so, when someone walked through the door, his back facing me. He turned around and saw me. He seemed a little surprised to see another, but not caught off guard. He had a stream of long, blonde hair and eyes like the purest water. He was built tall and fair and looked the strength of ten full-grown men, but was skinny and swift.
"I had not expected to see another here." He said in a voice that carried like the wind. "I discovered this room when I first arrived here."
"I didn't know what to expect, this is my second day here." I said, and then added in a mutter to myself, "In a long while."
He had heard my mumble, "So you've been here before?"
"Yes, but many, many years ago." I said, recalling all of the memories. "But I like to leave that in the past. We haven't even introduced ourselves yet!" I said in sudden realization, "I'm Tanlaithwen Thaliontur from here originally, but I came to here from Lothlorien, where I've lived for quite a bit of time."
"Legolas Greenleaf," he replied, "From Mirkwood." I realized who he was now. The Elf prince from Mirkwood, but said nothing of it.
"Nice to meet you Legolas. I really must be going." I got up from the chair and left the room. I needed to be gone from there quick.
I couldn't fall in love again.
