Of Such Sweet Love
Thoughts are 'thought' and speech is "speech" and flashbacks are (-flashback-) also, I need a beta reader...if anyone is interested, lemme know, ok?
Thanks.
Remember, this is my very first fic, so be gentle when reviewing. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM IS WELCOME! Flames will be used to roast marshmallows and keep me warm while I'm in Canada.
This is an ARWEN/LEGOLAS STORY! Ye be warned...
It is rated PG, the rating may go up, but I doubt it.
Chapter 1. Return
It had been many years since he had been back to Rivendell...many years. Too many he decided. One of his men called out to him, "Sire, the first sighting!" Legolas swiftly turned his horse and rode over to where a small group of his men had gathered. He took in his first glimpse of the Last Homely House for the last 350 years.
'Much too long to be gone,' Lost in memories Legolas sat on his horse.
"My lord? Are you ready to move on? We should leave now if we wish to reach The House before dark."
"Yes, we will leave now." Legolas wheeled his horse around and galloped off into the trees, ignoring the shouts of "Sire!" and "My Lord!" He clattered onto a narrow street, and over an intricately carved bridge. Cantering through Rivendell thoughts were circulating through his head: 'Arwen. Arwen. Arwen. Arwen Undomiel. Arwen, my beautiful Evenstar.'
Up he rode to the House of Elrond, where he dismounted and stood, staring about in wonder, while grooms rushed over, taking the horses reins.
"Where can I find Elrond?" Legolas demanded of a servant.
"He is in the hall my lord, speaking with Gandalf the Gray. Would my lord care for a meal? I'm afraid your rooms are not prepared yet, sire, we were not expecting my lord for hours yet."
"No, no, I do not need a meal," I would like to see Elladan, and Elohir; I have not seen them in many years. Will you inform them of my arrival?"
"Oh yes, my lord. And you desire to speak to the Lady Arwen too I expect? The old maid had a twinkle in her eyes. She chuckled, and said, "You have been away to long, sire, and she has missed you greatly."
Legolas felt his heart leaped up into his throat, he felt like dancing. "Yes, I would like to speak with her as well."
The elleth curtsied, and then turning she walked down a hall, calling for Legolas to follow her to a garden, where she was sure he could find the Evenstar.
Legolas hurried after her, trying not to look to impatient, while wishing to run, calling her name through the halls of the House.
Out into the gardens, he followed the elleth, where she pointed to a fountain. And sitting on the edge of the fountain, was Arwen. Legolas leaped down the stairs, and ran over to the fountain, stopping a few yards off. She heard his sharp intake of breath, and stood up to face him.
"Arwen,"
"Legolas."
He ran to her, picked her up and spun her in a circle, until she threw her head back and laughed in delight.
"I've missed you greatly. You have been gone for much too long."
"I know," Legolas whispered, "but I am here now, and I have missed you as well."
Arwen took his hand, "Come, I must show you the changes in Rivendell. Things are different since you last visited."
Legolas took her hand "There will be plenty of time for me to see, right now the only thing I want to see is you. We have much to catch up on," Still holding her hand he led her into the shade of the trees.
I know, I know, its REALLY short, but this is only the first chapter, and I need to know if there is any interest in this story anyway, so review and tell me what you think. I need some ideas for what is going to happen to the happy little couple.
