Hidden Answers

Aragorn cast a weary glance at the window. The sun was a bright red, sinking beneath the hills and treetops. Night was almost upon them.
"What is this you shall tell me, Legolas?" he asked finally.
He locked eyes with Legolas's. His intense gaze intertwined with a gentle stare.
Legolas turned to the window, eyes closed. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he whirled around to face Aragorn.
"My father speaks little of my mother. I know not much of her," he said softly. "She died at the hands of..." He fell silent.
"Legolas?" Aragorn said.
"I do not know who killed her," he said harshly. His eyes glinted and Aragorn saw suddenly a prince with strength in his left hand and power in his right. But the image faded to a wise, gentle Elf, tired and troubled.
"Why do you suddenly wonder of such things?" Aragorn asked quietly.
"My father spoke of her," Legolas said sadly. "Nay, he does not speak much. He said she was as radiant as the Sun herself. She was kind and gentle and yet fierce."
Aragorn remained silent. "I will search for my answers soon," he said.
"Legolas, do not foolishly venture about alone," Aragorn said quickly. "Be wise."
"I will not be alone if you join me," the Elf said, a grin crossing his face.
Aragorn frowned and folded his arms. He watched Legolas who suddenly seemed full of life, grinning like a gleeful child.
"For your sake," he answered slowly.
Aragorn's lips tugged into a smile. "Never have I seen you eager to leave Imladris," he said jokingly.
Legolas looked sad again. "I have grown a child's curiosity again and I seek for answers. I will not rest without them."
"And we will find them, my friend," Aragorn said softly, opening the door.
