Hey, back again! This time only after a short delay! Thanks to those of you who review my story. Your reviews are what make me continue! However, I do have one thing to say. This is slash – well not quite yet but it is getting there! – so if you do not like it please do not read it and give me a review that simply says and I quote "I don't like slash." I mean if you do not like slash then why the hell are you reading this to begin with! Thanks I am done. Now onto the story!
Chapter 3
Legolas awoke just as the sun was rising. Though it was still early, Minas Tirith was already bustling with activity. Legolas stepped out onto the balcony and looked out over the city.
It seemed Aragorn had already sent out an order for his men to assemble. Already, there was a great number of soldiers gathered and waiting to be told what was going on.
Brilliant! This is going exactly as I had planned. Legolas thought. I will lure the bulk of Gondor away and once they have gotten far enough away, Maeglin will slip in from Mordor. There will be nothing to stop him from taking the Grey City! It will fall to ruin and the men of Gondor with it! Of course Aragorn will be saved... to be my slave!
"By sunset there will be four times as many men and we will depart the following morning." Aragorn said, coming to stand beside Legolas at the balcony.
Legolas jumped, so lost in his own thoughts that he had not heard Aragorn approach. He silently scolded himself for being so careless. "Aragorn!"
"Pardon me if I surprised you, mellon nîn. It was not my intent." Aragorn responded. "I merely wanted to wish you good morning and tell you that breakfast will be ready in the main dining hall in approximately one hour. If you care to attend..."
"Oh yes thank you." Legolas replied distractedly.
"Are you alright? You seem distracted this morning, mellon nîn." Aragorn said his voice full of concern for his friend. Though Aragorn had been raised with elves, it was still rare when he was able to surprise one.
"No, no I'm fine, Aragorn, just thinking about... things." Legolas replied.
"You are worried about your homeland, are you not?" Aragorn said." Well worry no more, for the men of Gondor are strong and we will defeat this Maeglin and his evil army!" Aragorn left the balcony and exited Legolas' room.
"I'd not be so confident, Kind of Gondor." Legolas said quietly as Aragorn closed the door behind him.
I know I know its way too short but sometimes it's best to end a chapter early then to continue and make it sound awkward. I hope that I have totally gotten over this dose of writers block and the next chapter should be up soon! Thanks! Continue to Read and Review!!
