Author's note: well hello again, I know...took me long enough but you know life.. it have a habit of holding you back while wasting your time...

This is a story I just wrote; especially for my aunt Rika since I promised no blood or tears... so this one's for you dear.

Summery: Legolas come for a visit to visit his dear friends whom he hasn't seen in over a hundred years, and make his first acquaintance with their new bundle of joy.

Start a new, renew the old

Chapter one: renew the old.

Prince Legolas of Mirkwood road through the gates of the Last Homely House. The fair-haired elf was excited to enter the blessed realm again, he hasn't been there for over a hundred years, and he longed to see his friends again, and anticipated meeting Elrond's new child, the child the twins have bragged about in their letters to him.

Reaching the main courtyard he dismounted and grinned at two identical elves that came to greet him.

"Mae govannen Thrunduilion" They chorused.

"Mae govannen Elahir" he shot back.

"How do you fair mellonin?" Elrohir asked as they embraced

"All is well, fortunately, it has been a busy hundred years"

"We heard" Elladan commented as he embraced the prince

"How is your father?"

"Still berating his counselors?" Elrohir smiled

Sighing, Legolas chuckled "He is well and aye, still berating his counselors...the funny thing, he can't possibly comprehend why they all chose to join our kin in Valinor after 5 years of service... and we're talking different group every five years, the last group is holding quite nicely though, it's been almost 10 years now." He commented thoughtfully.

"What was the bet pool?" Elrohir questioned mischievously

Smiling sweetly (which was never good as far as either Legolas or the twins concerned) he replied, "They were given 20 tops!"

"And you?" Elladan cocked one dark elegant eyebrow curiously knowing full well that the golden prince was just as playful as his subordinates.

"Oh, they have long passed the time I have granted them" He replied with an evil grin "But enough about my Ada's poor witted counselors, where is that child you keep nagging me about?" he inquired with a smile.

Grinning, awfully stupidly Legolas decided, the twins replied, "In his room napping..."
"Oh Legolas he's..." Elrohir began

"The cutest thing you've ever seen" Legolas cut him "Yeah, I know!"

"They tend to repeat themselves a bit don't they?" an amused voice came from behind the twins.

"Aye milord, that they do" Legolas bowed courtly to the Lord Elrond "They weren't half as bad even when Undomiel was born, who would have thought they could get much more mushy..." he said in mock exasperation, and laughed softly as Elladan tried to take a swing at him.

Suppressing a laugh himself Elrond decided to spare the fair-haired prince from his sons "would you like to get something to eat Ernilen, you must be weary and hungry...?" he suggested.

"Aye milord, Hannon lle" Legolas nodded and smiled.

Returning the smile Elrond instructed his sons "Can you two manage showing Legolas to his usual chamber while I send for a meal tray?"He teased.

"Yes Ada" they chorused

With a nod the lord of Imladris turned and walked into the house,

Meanwhile the twins kept Legolas Company as he tended to his mare and then showed him to his chamber.

TBC....

Well that's all for today folks.

Please remember to review it will be highly appreciated.

Hugs
