A/N: Hello! This is my first LOTR fanfiction! I've got to say a couple
things.
Is there a time after the ring was destroyed but before Aragorn was officially made king? If so, that's when this takes place. If not, make it up in your minds. ^_^
If I do not get everything perfectly right on this fanfiction it's because I haven't liked LOTR since it came out. My friend got my hooked.
For anyone who may not know, I thought up the title "Red Sun" because of the line in TTT said by Legolas. "A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night."
Also, it may seem like I'm only writing about Legolas and Aragorn at first. The most common fics I read are Legolas/Aragorn friendship fics, Pippin/Merry friendship fics, or fellowship fics. This is not slash, and nothing about it is slash, though if you want it to be, you may pretend it is that way, but it's directed to friendship!
That's all I can thing off!

Red Sun
Chapter 1: Troubles brewing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord Elrond stood in one of his halls, after calling the fellowship together, ready to give them the news.
"Trouble is brewing. Orcs have been seen roaming freely across the land, most numerous in South Gondor, which as you know, is deserted."
Aragorn spoke up. "If it is indeed deserted, then what harm are they doing?"
They're leader sends out bands of Orcs out to distant lands. They are near these borders. The weather is changing. They brought snow to the deserts. I'm afraid danger is here. I need the help of the fellowship to rid us of these problems.
Aragorn nodded, leading the rest of the fellowship out. Elrond watched them until they were out of sight. He had an uneasy feeling. He felt for some reason, that the fellowship wasn't going to get through this easily. He shrugged off the feeling, not knowing it was an important one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legolas looked around, taking in the feeling of the trees. He quickened his stride to match Aragorn's.
"The trees are angry. Something upsets them. That rarely happens," Legolas said in a quiet voice, not wishing to make the hobbits nervous.
"There's nothing we can do about that is there?" Aragorn snapped quietly, taking the elf by surprise.
Legolas slowed his pace a little, falling behind Aragorn. A cold wind flew past.
After traveling a couple miles, Aragorn decided it was time to rest. He walked away from the rest of the group. Legolas noticed this and walked up to him.
"Aragorn, what's wrong?" Legolas asked him with concern.
"Tis nothing," Aragorn replied in an annoyed tone. "I do not wish to be bothered by Elvin counseling of how I should be happy, so why don't you stop wasting my time and leave me."
The words cut through Legolas like a knife. He couldn't suppress the hurt in his eyes or his voice. "Aragorn-,"
Aragorn looked into Legolas's eyes and immediately regretted what he said. "I'm sorry Legolas. It's just..." He stopped. "I thought this was over. I thought we'd finally have a little peace now. I'm nervous because we've all already been through so much, especially Frodo."
Legolas smiled and nodded. "Aragorn, I know you want adventure. You've grown up used to it. There will be peace here, do not worry." He smiled again, then grinned. "I never thought you'd even allow peace. Remember when we were children?"
Aragorn laughed out loud. Legolas was happy to hear him laugh. Aragorn had done little of that lately.
"Yes I remember. I thought our fathers would kill us the time you came for a visit and we turned their hair purple."
Legolas laughed. "They almost did. Luckily Gandalf was there to stop them."
Aragorn smiled at the memory. "Yes. If he hadn't been there we wouldn't have lived to see this day." He smirked. "It would have been your fault too you know."
Legolas gave him a look of mock anger. "My fault? It was your idea to dye their hair!"
"But it was you who knocked over the book on the edge of the desk of my fathers room. He woke up due to you."
"What's your point?" Legolas asked smiling.
Aragorn threw up his hand in exasperation. "My point is that it was your fault!"
Legolas only smiled. They enjoyed a few minutes of comfortable silence before they hear arguing back at camp. Legolas and Aragorn look at each other before standing and walking to the clearing.
It appeared that Sam had eaten Pippin's apple, when Sam had began yelling at Pippin about apples belonging to everyone.
"It was my apple," Pippin shouted.
"Pippin leave Sam alone!" Frodo shouted coming up behind Sam.
"This is none of your business Frodo so why don't you leave this to me and Pippin!" spat Sam, clearly in a bad mood.
"That's not a good way to talk to your friend Sam," Pippin pointed out.
Pippin soon found himself on the ground, his nose bleeding from being hit by Sam. Merry raced to his aid by pushing Sam away from his younger cousin and leaning over him. "Are you okay Pip?"
"Yeah, I'm okay," Pippin, said glaring at Sam.
Sam stormed off, unable to cause any damage to Pippin due to Merry hovering protectively by him. He stormed over to a tree far away and sat down.
Frodo had already stormed away and was seated near a bolder plenty of distance away from Sam Pippin and Merry. Pippin and Merry stood and stormed away from the camp, near the woods, where they sat and glared at Sam.
Everyone watched in shock, as the four friends were no longer four friends.

So what did you think? It's my first Lord Of The Rings fic, so please take it easy on me. I'm open to constructive criticism, but do not enjoy flames, and will use them for when-
When something happens which I will not speak of. Don't worry though; I don't need flames to help with the story. ^_^
Please review, I'll try to make the next chapter longer but I got kinda stuck on this first one.
