Gifts from the Gods
Lord of the Rings
*One year after the 3rd book*
* ~ ~ In Mirkwood ~ ~ *
Legolas is now the King of Mirkwood. He doesn't have a queen . But many princesses tried. Most of the time Legolas likes to travel in the woods of his kingdom. He missed the adventures he has with the Fellowship. He hasn't been able to bend his bow for over 3 months. He had promised Gimly that he would go with him to Fangorn forest. But now since he was king he couldn't go and he felt very bad. Before his father suddenly dies he was looking for supplies he would need for the journey to Fangorn forest. But his father's death also meant that Legolas couldn't visit Gimly.
"Your Majesty" said an elf "do you need anything?" Legolas looked up.
"Yes, the king of Gondor, my friend Aragorn said that he needed help with rebuilding Minas Tirith. The dwarfs are there to rebuild the walls and houses but they need the elves to make a beautiful garden for her Majesty Queen Arwen. He also needs a finishing touch on the walls," said Legolas "if you would get some seeds, plants, trees and some men."
"Yes your Majesty. Do you need horses too?" said the elf
"Yes, and also get another elf to pack some of my clothes. I have some things I need to discus with Aragorn," said Legolas. The elf bowed and left. It was time for him to stretch his legs, he thought as he left his room and went out to look at his garden.
* ~ ~ In Gondor ~ ~ *
Aragorn looked to the north and then east. It has been about one year since the war ended and he became king. To his surprise Arwen had stayed and was now his queen. As Gimly promised the dwarfs came to help rebuild Minas Tirith. The elves had come too but his friend Legolas had to leave because his father had died. Before he left he said that he would return after a few months and come back with elven plants so that Arwen would feel at home in Gondor. The rest of her people had left the shores of Middle – Earth.
Ever since the elves left, the kingdom seemed less cheery. Gandalf said that he had to go to Mordor, Minas Morgul. He wonted to make sure that everything was in order before he too left Middle – Earth with the elves.
And now it has been about three months and he hasn't heard from either of his friends. Then he heard a horn and he recognized it. Legolas had come back to Gondor! He was sure things would be better now, but he couldn't help feeling concerned for Gandalf. The man was wise but he could still be in trouble. He should say something to Legolas, he might know what to do.
* ~ ~ Later that day ~ ~ *
Legolas looked at his friend and said.
"It has been a long time since I have seen you. Even though it took a lot of convincing but I finally made the elves see that nothing would happen while I was away. Since I have no heir they are afraid I will die leaving them with out a king. Anyway how have things gone here? Has Gandalf returned? And we brought the plants as promised." Aragorn shook his friends hand and said.
"Everything is fine the kingdom has been rebuilt but we still need the plants, that you have brought. But Gandalf has not returned from Mordor. It is somewhat troubling me."
"We could ride to Mordor tomorrow" said the elf. "Just to make sure he is alright."
"Good idea, I'll get someone to get everything ready"
* ~ ~ The next day ~ ~ *
The next morning the two men came to breakfast. They were both dressed for riding.
"We better eat and leave before Arwen finds out and makes us stay." Said Legolas.
"We should take some elves with us, so that everyone won't panic.' There was a nod from Legolas
They ate in silence and then rose to get their horses and the five other men. The day was nice and cool. It felt good to ride again Aragorn thought.
They rode for a couple of hours to Osgiliath and then sailed across the river and rode some more. Finally the reached Minas Margul were Gandalf was supposed to be, but they did not see him. The men decided to split up and search. Legolas and Aragorn went into the dark tower to see if Gandalf was there. They climbed countless flights of stairs. When they got to the top they were surprised. Gandalf was lying on the floor clearly hurt and behind him was Saruman.
"How did you escape?" said Aragorn as he took his sword and Legolas his bow.
"How did I escape? I thought you were brighter that that, so I'm not going to tell you. Since the Dark Lord is dead I have nothing to do so I'm leaving. Farewell." With a flash of light he disappeared Legolas and Aragorn rushed to Gandalf but as soon as they touched him. They disappeared in a whirl of light.
