Author's Note: This is a Lord of the Rings/Original Character(s) fanfic. This is my one shot at trying to write a LotR fic so please review and I gladly accept constructive criticism. Disc: I don't own any LotR characters*cries* I wish I did but the truth hurts. I do own all the characters that are not mentioned in LotR: Fellowship of the Ring. Example: Nienna is one of my original characters.
Chapter one: A mistake just waiting to happen.
Legolas ran through the woods of Mirkwood. He had heard news of Aragorn coming to Mirkwood with urgent news. He had planned to wait for the ranger near the edge of the forest. As he reached the plains he noticed Elessar was already there and was already unsaddling his horse. The horse was a mare with a chestnut coat and a dark brown mane. Aragorn was handing his saddle to an Elvin stable worker when Legolas jumped on top of him happily.
"Its wonderful to see you again Aragorn!" Legolas said with a laugh.
"Yes it is nice to be in these woods again.." He looked at Legolas.
"I have urgent news for your father. where is he?" Legolas pointed to and large oak tree.
"Up there, father is speaking with Haladir of Lothlorien right now. its some kind of secret counsel of the sort." Aragorn nodded as Haladir and Thranduil the king of Mirkwood descended down the stairs attached to the trunk of the tree.
"Naamarie Haladir and have a safe journey home" Thranduil said as he patted Haladir on the back.
Haladir nods and as he passes Aragorn he pats him on the back and stops.
"Elessar it is strange for you to be in Mirkwood this time of year. where do you hail from?"
"I hail from the Lord Elrond of Rivendell in order to bring urgent news to King Thranduil" he nods at Haladir as he mounts a snow white colored horse.
Haladir smiles "Well then I will take my leave of you and wish you god speed on your trip home." He kicks the horse lightly in the sides and he gallops briskly to the north, disappearing into the sunset.
Thranduil pats Aragorn on the back. "So Elessar what urgent news do you bring to me from Lord Elrond?"
"Perhaps we can speak about the matter in privacy" Aragorn looks at Legolas.
Legolas turns red at the thought that they were treating him like a child.
"May I ask for your pardon Elessar but I am not a child and I feel that I can be trusted with such matters of importance." Aragorn cuts him off.
"Forgive me Legolas. but I regret that I must speak with your father alone about this"
Legolas glares then waves at three elves walking past. He joins them and walks away from Aragorn and Thranduil. Aragorn and Thranduil slowly ascended the stairs.
In Hobbiton..
Frodo Baggins sat under a tree reading a book, when he hears a cart approaching and a man singing. He runs to the edge to meet the man. In the distance a cart with a man with a long gray beard and a pointy hat drew near.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can..
Frodo crossed his arms and looked at the man as the cart slowed.
"Your late." The elderly man looked at him.
"A wizard is never late. Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early, he arrives PRECISELY when he means to!"
They both try to keep a straight face, and fail. Frodo throws himself into the man's arms for a hug.
"Its wonderful to see you again Gandalf!" he laughs as Gandalf hugs him back.
"Now you didn't think I'd miss your Uncle Bilbo's birthday?" he said with a smile.
"What's new in the world? Tell me everything." Frodo sat next to Gandalf in the cart.
"Haven't we grown curious? Most unnatural for a hobbit. What can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on, much as it has this past age, full of its own comings and goings, scarcely aware of the existence of hobbits. For which I am most grateful for."
As the cart went past a marketplace hobbits started to notice the cart and were yelling, "Looks its Gandalf!" Gandalf tipped his hat and keep the cart moving.
They pass a field where tents and a banner are being set up. Gandalf laughs.
"Ah.. The long expected party.how is the old rascal? I understand this is to be a party of special magnificence?" Frodo nodded.
"You know Bilbo, he's got the whole Shire in an uproar."
"Well that should please him.."
"Half the Shire's been invited. He's up to something.."
"Indeed?"
"Alright then keep your secrets.you know before you came along we Bagginses were very well though of. Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected of."
"If you're referring to that incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. I only gave your uncle a little nudge out the door."
"Whatever you did, you have been officially labeled a disturber of the peace." As they pass a hobbit hole a hobbit snarls at Gandalf. Gandalf nods and quickly turns to Frodo.
A group of hobbit children see Gandalf and come running.
"Gandalf! Gandalf! Fireworks Gandalf." Gandalf pretends not to but as the children moan he sets off a butterfly firework. The children yell with glee and clap their hands.
The man smiles, but as his wife comes out he quickly turns it to an acceptable frown.
"I'm glad you're back Gandalf" Frodo said as he jumped out of the cart.
"So am I dear boy.. So am I." Gandalf continues to Bilbo's house.
Back at Mirkwood..
"King Thranduil you must understand that the One Ring has been found somewhere in a place called the Shire. I have been warned by Gandalf that we must be alert in case of attacks from Mordor.."King Thranduil nods.
"Well then I can promise no more than three of my men and Legolas will be standing by if there is need for Elves in this problem.." Aragorn pats him on the back.
"That is all I ask for my lord" He looks at the trees and yells.
"Come in and sit down Legolas I have noticed you have been there for the last hour or so.." Legolas looks embarrassed as he jumps on the platform from the trees.
"Aye Aragorn, I have been here the whole time." he is cut off, as there are shouts from below.
Legolas jumps from branch to branch till he reaches the bottom. Aragorn and Thranduil hurry down the stairs. As they join Legolas they see and group of Elves surrounding something.
"Make way for the King!" Aragorn yells as he Legolas and Thranduil push through the crowds. On the ground is a she-elf lying next to a dead orc. Legolas threw the orc out of the forest as Aragorn inspected the she-elf.
"She's alive but badly wounded. We will need some Athelas though." Legolas runs to a small bush and cuts off a little bit of the weeds there. Aragorn mixes the weeds with warm water and he tries to get the girl to sip the mixture out of a bowl. The girl coughs and sputters as the liquid goes down her throat. She pulls out a sword and holds it dangerously close to Aragorn's throat.
"Who are you?" she asks them all.
Legolas stands up.
"I am Legolas son of Thranduil, Prince of Mirkwood and this is King Thranduil my father." She bows her head then nods at Aragorn.
"And you are?"
"I am Strider a Ranger of Middle Earth" She slips her sword back into her sheath.
"Very well I am.....
