I don't own LOTR, but wish I did. I'm so happy, I finally remembered the
disclaimer. This chapter is detected to Gwyn for being the first one to
review chapter 4. Thanks
Dewdrops on a Sword
Chapter 5
Following Your Heart (bad chapter title but hey)
*Gardens of Rivendell* Legolas sat on a bench with Elrond and Gil-galad, splashing his feet in the water of a nearby pool. The two elder elves looked at each other and sighed. "Do all Noldor elves sigh so much," Legolas asked them.
A smile crossed Elrond's face as he picked up the small elf and put him on his lap. "No little one. But, we did not come here to talk about that."
"Little one," Gil- galad said gently, "we are giving you a choice of either staying here or going back to Mirkwood."
******
Three days had gone by since Legolas had been given his choice. To Gil- galad and Elrond's surprises he had said he wanted to think about it. Elladan and Elrohir were hoping against hope that he would stay with them in Rivendell. Gil-galad and Elrond were walking through the gardens when they saw the twins running toward them.
"My sons, what is the matter?" Both stopped in front of the two, breathing hard.
"Legolas," Elrohir choked out, "decision."
"He wants," Elladan continued for his twin, though he was having difficulty saying anything himself.
Tho`nnas had been sitting in a tree and trying to get as much information about Rivendell as possible, when he heard Elladan's last words.
***** Mirkwood
Tho`nnas walked slowly into the throne room, hoping that his lords were not going to rip his head off. "My lords, the prince was given a choice about staying in Rivendell or coming home."
"Well that's good! He will be coming home soon, then?" Thranduil asked.
"No my lord. He chose to stay in Rivendell." To his surprise the two did not go for his head, they just sat there. To shocked to move or speak.
***** Rivendell
Elrond walked toward Legolas' room. Even though the child was probably asleep Elrond had to ask him something, though when he arrived he found Glorfindel already there. So he decided to stand outside the room and wait.
"Why did you wish to stay here Legolas?"
"Well it may sound strange, but I feel alone in Mirkwood. The only people I have are my father and grandfather. The later one scares me a lot though."
"That is why you are staying, because in Mirkwood you only truly have your father?"
"Well sort of. But, another reason is that here I have Elladan and Elrohir to act like my brothers. And you, Gil-galad and Elrond are all like a second father to me."
"Alright Legolas, we're all like family to you. Now I don't want my lords to kill me, so off to bed."
When Glorfindel came out he had a small smile on his face and didn't even notice Elrond. "It's amazing how fast he warms up to people, is it not?" Elrond asked getting the attention of his friend.
"Gil-galad is warning off on you, you know?"
"Really! Well I'll take that as a compliment, since I know how much he annoys me with his little sudden appearances." Both walked down the hall toward their rooms when Pengedhel came running up to them.
"My lords, Gandalf the Grey is here!"
***** Mordor
"Damn!"
"My lord, what is it?"
"Gandalf is in Rivendell, so it will be even harder to get the elfling."
"Could you not wait until he left my lord?"
"No, he will not leave soon and I need the child while he is young. I will just have to wait until he and the bratty twins sneak out into the forest."
"My lord, do you want us to kill him then?"
"No, no, just curse him. I will be able to kill him later, bit I want the Myfaeque Gold from Elrond first. We will see just how much he is willing to give for the boy."
***** Lothlorien
Celeborn walked through the trees of his realm, when he saw his wife coming toward him. She looked very depressed. "My love, what is it?"
Galadriel looked up. "The Prince Legolas is staying in Rivendell." Celeborn was shocked to say the least. He knew the twins and Legolas were friends, but he also knew it would break Thranduil's heart when he heard. "There is another thing. Legolas will become."
(a/n:: sorry had to do that. You'll find out what Legolas will become later.)
*****Rivendell
Gandalf was sitting in Elrond's study, smoking his pipe. He had heard the story about the little prince and was impressed really. The only thing that worried him was that Legolas was still having nightmares about the deaths' of his mother and brother. And at that moment the twins came in. Elrond, Gil-galad, Glorfindel, and Gandalf all had to fight back laughter when they saw them.
"HE TOOK MY JOKE!!! Elladan screamed.
"Ha, you've only had it done to you once," Elrohir shouted at his brother. They both now had deep purple hair.
"I couldn't sleep so I thought they would look good with a new hair color," said Legolas from the doorway. He walked calmly passed the twins and sat himself in a chair by Elrond.
"So this is the little Prince of Mirkwood," Gandalf said raising an eyebrow.
Legolas looked suspiciously at Gandalf before asking, "Who are you?"
"I'm Gandalf the Grey. Have you heard of me?"
Legolas' face immediately brighten. "Who has not heard of you Gandalf?"
"Hobbits." Legolas just gave him a confused look.
"There is a reason for your visit, isn't there my friend?" Elrond asked
"Yes, yet I would not talk about it in front of the elflings."
"Elladan, Elrohir please leave."
"But father, what about Legolas?" they both asked, surprised that he would think of them first and not him.
"I don't think we have to worry about him," Elrond said glancing at the small figure in his lap. Legolas had decided he was tired and had curled up in Elrond's lap. After the twins left all remaining turned their attention to Gandalf.
"Galadriel has seen that Sauron is rising. That is not what surprises her though." The wizard stopped and looked sadly at Legolas' sleeping form.
"What surprises the Lady?" asked Gil0galad.
"He is after Legolas."
His words were greeted by stunned silence.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ok next chapter Legolas is finally cursed. I'm skipping three years so Legolas will be 13 in the next chapter.
Gwyn: I updated finally and I'm glad you like. And thanks for the suggestions.
MoroTheWolfGod: Glad you like.
Lomiothiel: There's more than just the fact that Legolas is the only one of the fellowship born yet (besides Gandalf), that Sauron wants to curse him. And who ever said that it was Legolas who did the trick with the flour???
Lady of Legolas: No not all Noldor Elves are evil. Please keep reading.
Bunny-luver: If you die then you won't find out what happens next. Glad you liked the food fight. I just had to put that in, even though it's there for no reason really
Anglebird12241: Glad you like
Drea: Thank you. I wish my friends would say that this story is beautiful, but she won't even review my stories. I feel so hurt.
