Legolas: You don't own anything except for Enellewyn! Haha!
Phone blows up in Legolas's face. (Lol. Poor Legolas!)
Shh! Shhh! SHHH! The shows starting! ::Curtain opens::
Chapter 3
The group of elves rode on tirelessly throughout the day and before long, they were crossing the clear waters of the Ford of Bruinen.
Legolas and Enellewyn still shared the same mount, as Esgalwath was being more headstrong than was normal.
The only sound that could be heard was the gentle footfalls of the horses and the crunch of dead leaves on the ground.
As they drew closer, Enellewyn began to hear the sound of falling water. When Elrond's home came into view, Enellewyn couldn't help but let her breath catch in her throat. She had been here before, but it looked even more beautiful in the fall.
Small grins graced Elladan and Elrohir's faces as the familiar sight of their dwelling came into view. They entered through the gates, which was really more of an archway, and dismounted. \
A young elf looking to be in his early hundreds walked up to them and gathered two of the horses. Soon, all of the horses had been taken back to the stable.
"Come inside. Elladan and I will get the maids to prepare two rooms for you," Elrohir said to the two elves. Legolas and Enellewyn followed the twins into the House of Elrond, still looking around at the striking landscape.
In no time, Legolas and Enellewyn were housed in two adjacent rooms and had all their things settled in. Each room was very much similar, both equipped with a bathroom, a dresser, a large bed, and a balcony.
A dress had been laid out on the bed, but Enellewyn immediately turned it away. After a few seconds of digging through her pack, she found a suitable tunic and pair of leggings.
She changed into the clean clothes and exited the room. Enellewyn knocked lightly on Legolas's door. She waited for a moment, but when there was no answer, she reached for the doorknob.
She put her hand on the cool metal, but her hand froze. She remembered that last time Legolas had opened the door on her and shuddered, letting go of the handle. So she leaned on the wall and waited patiently.
After a half of an hour of waiting by the door, Enellewyn was beginning to feel a bit exasperated. Well she had been feeling exasperated, not to mention annoyed, for the last fifteen minutes.
'What is he doing in there?' she thought to herself irritably. Just as her hand reached midway to the handle of the door, it turned on its own and Legolas emerged.
"What were you doing in there?" Enellewyn inquired, aggravated, to say the least.
"I was bathing. I've been feeling quite filthy for the past few days," Legolas said nonchalantly. Enellewyn noticed that his air looked silkier and that he smelled like soap. She rolled her eyes skywards (a habit she still hadn't grown out of).
"Honestly! Why do you care about your hair so much? I was out here for a whole thirty minutes, waiting for you!" Enellewyn exclaimed as they began walking down the hall.
"Well you didn't have to," Legolas said very matter-of-factly. Enellewyn fumed silently to herself.
Unexpectedly, Enellewyn felt a firm hand land on her shoulder.
"We've been looking for you," Elrohir said, sliding in between her and Legolas.
"It's nearly time for lunch," Elladan said from Legolas's other side.
"We were just heading over to the Dining Hall," Legolas said. Enellewyn's stomach growled at the aspect of food. She could go for a few days without food, but if she had it, it was always more pleasant.
"Arwen will be ecstatic to see you again, Enellewyn," Elrohir said steering her around a corner. 'I wonder why she hasn't come to see me like she usually does when we visit,' Enellewyn thought.
"I doubt she will have much time though, she is spending all her time with dear Estel," Elladan said, as if reading her mind. Him and Elrohir stifled their laughs.
"What's so amusing?" Legolas inquired, looking at the pair of brothers oddly.
"We will show you after lunch," Elladan said with a mischievous glint in his blue grey eyes. They had arrived at the Great Hall and were in the presence of two great oak doors. They had carvings of birds and vines accurately engraved into the surface.
Through the tough oak doors, Enellewyn could hear the clinking of cutlery and the talk of many people.
Elrohir pushed the doors open to reveal a large hall filled with many peculiar looking people. The majority of them were elves, eating and laughing without much of a care in the world.
"Those are the periannath (halflings). One of them bears the Ring of Power!" Elladan pointed out four short men sitting at the high table. Their feet different touch the floor, and upon closer examination, Legolas and Enellewyn saw that they were quite large and hairy. Three were stuffing their faces with as much food that could possibly fit into their mouths, while the dark haired one just picked at his food, taking bites every so often.
Enellewyn could also make out Gandalf sitting next to Lord Elrond. She caught his eye and waved slightly.
Enellewyn spotted a few men sitting in a group, speaking in hushed whispers. To her immense dislike, she also spied out a few dwarves, talking amongst themselves. One, she noticed was drinking a bit too much of the wine for his own good. Enellewyn and Legolas grimaced simultaneously at the creatures.
As you may have noticed, like most other elves, Legolas and Enellewyn weren't huge fans of dwarves. They took their seats at the high table next to Elladan and Elrohir and dug into the different assortment of appetizing foods set out before them.
All through lunch Enellewyn noticed that Arwen didn't make an appearance. 'I wonder what she's doing?' Enellewyn thought.
When lunch ended, the Great Hall emptied and Legolas, Enellewyn, Elladan, and Elrohir were the last to depart.
"Elladan, should we show them?" Elrohir said slyly. Elladan grinned and his eyes lit up with bottled up mirth.
"Of course! I'm sure you've both noticed that Arwen did not attend lunch today. Well of course we know why," Elladan said impishly. Legolas and Enellewyn exchanged looks of intrigue.
Elrohir and Elladan grinned concurrently.
"Follow us," Elrohir said. He and his twin both turned around and swept down the hall with Legolas and Enellewyn following.
**
They found themselves in a private garden with trees and thick undergrowth crowding around the ground.
Legolas looked at Enellewyn but she just shrugged. The four of them all treaded with quiet feet, trying not to disturb whatever they were going to spy on.
Soon Elrohir motioned for Legolas and Enellewyn to get down on all fours, and Legolas looked at him with perplexity, but got down on his hands and knees anyways.
Silently, Elladan pointed through the shrubbery they were hiding behind and Enellewyn and Legolas took a peek.
There was a stone bridge and they could see two figures standing on it, their hands clasped together.
One they both recognized as Aragorn, and the other, this astonished Enellewyn greatly, was Arwen, Lord Elrond's illustrious daughter.
Arwen began to speak and beside Legolas Elladan grinned.
"We came just in time."
"Renich i lú i erui govannem (do you remember the time we first met)?" Arwen said, looking up at Aragorn. Enellewyn watched on in disbelief, her mouth partially open in shock.
"Nauthannen i ned ôl reniannen (I thought I had strayed into a dream)," Aragorn said, fingering the Evenstar pendant around Arwen's neck.
Elladan and Elrohir laughed into their hands, trying to muffle their hilarity. Which unfortunately wasn't subdued in time.
"Gwennin in enninath (long years have passed)..." But she stopped in mid sentence. Both her and Aragorn snapped their heads towards the bushes that the four were concealed behind.
Elladan's eyes widened as Aragorn approached cautiously. He took one glance at Elrohir before getting up. But before they could make their getaway, Aragorn had a tight hold on their tunics, enabling them to run away.
"Elladan, Elrohir," Aragorn growled. Enellewyn looked at him taken aback. Like Legolas, she probably didn't think Aragorn capable of growling.
Meanwhile Arwen had stomped over angrily.
"Hello, little sister," Elrohir said, dismayed that they had been caught.
Legolas rose from his position on the ground, Enellewyn following his action. Aragorn looked at them incredulously.
"Enellewyn!" Arwen exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Legolas and I were sent as messengers from Thranduil," Enellewyn explained. Elladan seized the moment whole-heartedly.
"Yes, we were just coming to inform you that they had arrived!" he said convincingly. Legolas almost rolled his eyes, but caught himself, so as not to give away the falsehood of the statement.
Arwen's eyes narrowed and she scrutinized us for a moment. Suddenly she went off towards Elrond's home in a huff.
Aragorn let go of Elladan and Elrohir and they straightened the creases out of their tunics.
Aragorn then walked off, following Arwen's rapidly diminishing form. Elladan and Elrohir both let out breaths they hadn't even known they were holding.
"For a human, Estel can be frightening at times!" Elrohir said grinning. Legolas rolled his eyes and walked back to Elladan and Elrohir's house. Enellewyn laugh after a moment and followed Legolas with the twins in tow.
Response to Reviews:
Aussiesportstar-Legolas DID look hot with the blue tunic on! I was practically melting in my seat at the cinema. All three times! Lol. :oP If Enellewyn did go on the quest, yes it would be funny. But whether she does or doesn't is classified information!
Athena Diagon Cat-I thought that I was using the word "Goblin" too much, so I switched to Orc. Sorry, minor misconception on my part!
Candeebarz-Don't worry I won't. Sometimes I like reading Mary Sues, but sometimes, well most of the time, they annoy me to no end.
Thanks to all my great reviewers! By the way, I don't really know what to call Elrond's "house", because it's not really a palace. If you have any ideas on this subject put it in a review. And if you don't review anyway! :o)
