Paladin Dragoon, I hope you're reading this, because this one's for you.
Legolas's Magical Arrow
It had been a few more decades since his argument with his dad and Legolas (clever, handsome Legolas) decided it was time to make amends with Thranduil.
Hence he farewelled his beautiful brown oak love and set off toward the palace. However, due to his lack of activity since settling down, three times I might add, he had gotten a little unaccustomed to the parts of the forest and soon got lost.
So, after much deliberation, he decided to send out a message for help. He swung his bow across his arm and pulling so the string was taut, he released an arrow straight into the sky.
And what a magnificent shot it was! It was astounding! It flew hight into the air before turning one hundred and eighty degrees and shooting straight toward the ground and hitting something with a loud snap.
Unfortunately for Legolas, he had spent much of his married days impressing his "wives" with none other than his amazing aim. Having done so, that was is last arrow and he had to go fetch it, mend it, and try another help message.
The (tall, blonde) elf searched far and wide, and, had he not been so absorbed in looking for a thin stick that was broken, he might have noticed a thick walled castle that he had passed by many times. Or the ditch in the ground that his poor brother was trapped in.
However, Legolas was ignorant to all and determined as ever to find that arrow.
He found it, eventually, and could have easily fixed it up because an elf of his stature, well, why else do all the women love him? But he was distracted. Oh yes.
The arrow had hit upon a stone.
Legolas had fallen in love. Again. You wonder why all the women love him though, don't you? You'd think all this mingling with lifeless, sexless objects would put them off, but what do you know?
Legolas stared at the stone, amazed that anything could be so beautiful. He picked it up. It was no bigger than the palm of his hand and almost as flat as a leaf. It could, of course, pass for a slate, but the idea of loving a slate didn't appeal to Legolas. The idea of loving a stone did, and Legolas immediately named it "Bulgy".
He carried it cherishingly in his had, making sure it got enough sunlight and water. It granted Legolas its hand in marriage and Legolas burst into tears.
He forgot about Thranduil and settled down with Bulgy for an uneventful life.

There will be more in the Legolas's Magical Items series. Eventually. For now, you can go read Legolas's Magical Journey, which talks more about him. Have fun.
