Ch. 3

50 years later

Legolas rode at a gallop for Mirkwood, a smile ever present on his face. "Slow down, my elf friend," said a voice behind him. Legolas turned to face his dwarf friend. "What is wrong Gimli"? Legolas said in a mocking tone. "I thought dwarves were good riders." "We are, but unlike elves we are not as lightweight and we cannot ride as fast," Gimli said as a matter of factly. "Very well," Legolas sighed as he went into a canter. "thank you," Gimli exasperatedly.

"Why the hurry, my friend?" he asked. "The palace of Mirkwood will still be there when we arrive." "I know, but there is someone I wish to hurry up and see," Legolas said. He still had that smile on his face. "Judging from that smile on your face, my guess it is a she-elf," Gimli said a bit amused.

"Aye, that it is," Legolas sighed as if remembering something. "She was my best friend." "Are you sure just your best friend and nothing more?" Gimli joked trying to suppress a laugh. He failed miserably. Gimli began held his sides in mirth when he saw his companion blush.

"Ah, here we are," Legolas said trying to change the subject. "The magnificent palace of Mirkwood."

They were greeted royally by the gaurds. They were escorted inside to the throne room. "Your magesty, your son, Legolas, and the dwarf, Gimli," the guard said as the two entered the large room. Thranduil's eyes lit up with joy at the sight of his son. "You return to us at last," he said embracing Legolas. "Bearing friends," Legolas said nodding to Gimli. "A dwarf?" Thranduil said with surprise, " Well, any friend of Legolas's is more than welcome in Mirkwood." He then turned back to his son. "Your return has brought smiles to the palace, my son!" Thranduil exclaimed motioning to the servants and guards. "There will be a banquet tonight in your honor." With a clap of his hands the servants went to work preparing for that night.

"Yes, but there is one smiling face I don't see," Legolas said looking around. "Where is Trinity?" Thranduil became silent. At last he spoke. "Um…perhaps you two should go was up and get some rest before the banquet." Legoals began to chuckle, "Father, where is she? Is that crazy girl hiding in my room waiting to pounce?" Gimli gave Legoals a strange look. Thranduil turned to his son with a stern look on his face. "No, Legolas, she's not. She got tired of waiting. Her heart broke we she discovered you were not coming home." Legolas felt tears prick his eyes. "Why? And where did she go?" Legolas asked. He heard his voice quiver a little. "I do not know why she left nor do I know where she went," Thranduil said putting a comforting hand on his son's shoulder. Thranduil beckoned two servants over to them. "Go," The king said, "get cleaned up and try to rest."

The servants led them to different room. Legolas to his, Gimli to the guest room. When Leoglas closed the door to his room that is when the tears came. "Why?" he whispered to himself. He did not bother to wipe the tears away. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a object shine in the sunlight. He walked over to his bed. When he picked up the object he broke down in sobs.

It was Trinity's medallion.

He laid down on his bed and cried himself to sleep.
