Chapter 6 A Meeting Of Enemies
*****Three years after Legolas came to Rivendell
"Elladan, Elrohir, Legolas? By the Valar, where are you three?" shouted Glorfindel. He had been looking for the three for about an hour now.
"Still haven't found them?" Gil-galad asked coming up behind him with Elrond and Gandalf.
"No my lord, I have not."
Elrond looked down, a sad and worried expression placed on his face. "Is Sauron still after him Gandalf?"
"I don't know. But, it is best to be safe still and think he is," came the old wizard's reply.
"Let's go look in the forest," Gil-galad suggested. All four walked out of the house and into the surrounding woods.
"WHAT THE?!" all of Rivendell could hear Elladan shout. All four looked at each other and then ran toward the eldest twins voice.
They ran into a clearing just as a giant shadow beast rammed Legolas into a tree. When the elfling fell to the ground, everyone was surprised when they saw he didn't look hurt. The shadow beast let out a high-pitched screech and then rounded back to attack the child again.
"LEGOLAS!" Gil-galad, Gandalf, Glorfindel, Elrond, Elladan, and Elrohir all yelled as the shadow beast pushed Legolas back into the tree. This time the shadow disappeared after the attack.
Elrohir was the first to reach the young prince. He turned him over when the four elders arrived and to the twins' relief he let out a small moan.
"Gandalf is he..?" Gil-galad asked hesitantly.
"He's been cursed," Gandalf answered
"Cursed?" the twins yelled together.
Elrond picked Legolas up and started walking back to the Last Homely House. The rest of the group hurriedly followed.
*****Two days later
Elrond had used all his healing abilities, Gandalf had used his magic, and even Gil-galad had used his power, but nothing would remove the curse on Legolas. Elladan, Elrohir, and Glorfindel wouldn't leave the elfling's room.
Gil-galad walked the halls looking for Elrond. For once he couldn't find his friend. "Where are you Elrond?" the high king whispered to himself.
"Maybe he's in the little one's original room." Gil-galad turned to see Gandalf sitting in a chair smoking his pipe. Gil-galad just sighed and then began walking toward Legolas' original room. (Legolas was moved to a different room, no idea why. I just moved his room.) Gil-galad sighed again when he saw the Lord of Rivendell on the balcony of Legolas' old room.
"For once you're unable to sneak up on me." Elrond said, not even looking around.
"My friend, we will be able to remove the curse."
"I only hope we will. As of right now, I'm going to send a messenger to Thranduil."
Gil-galad just stared at Elrond for a few seconds and then, "WHAT?!"
"Thranduil is Legolas' father and no matter how much I hate him, he deserves to know about what has happen to his son.
*****Mirkwood
Three years had passed since his son left. Thranduil had become distance and he would not talk as much as he had before. Oropher could no longer get his son to come to court anymore, so one day when he had decided he couldn't listen to anymore pointless talk, he was the only one in the room when Tho`nnas entered to announce that the Lord and Lady of Lothlorien had arrived.
"What?" Oropher asked his stunned servant.
"They wish to speak to you and the Prince Thranduil alone. They said it was about Rivendell and the young Prince Legolas."
"Well show them in and then find my son!" Oropher ordered.
"Yes my lord." Tho`nnas then ran off and left a dazed Oropher in the throne room.
"You look well," Celeborn said jokingly as he walked into the room.
"I think our arrival has shocked him. I'm right, am I not?"
"Yes Lady." At this moment Thranduil came bursting into the room.
"What news do you have of my son?"
"Thranduil!" Oropher said, shocked by his son's rudeness.
"You two need to go to Rivendell," Galadriel said, shocking Thranduil, and Oropher further.
"WHAT?!" they both shouted.
"My lord," Tho`nnas came back into the room. "There is a messenger here to see you from Rivendell.
"WHAT?!" both elves of Mirkwood shouted again.
Pengedhel walked into the room and bowed in respect to Oropher, then seeing Celeborn and Galadriel, bowed to them as well. "King Oropher, Prince Thranduil, my Lord Elrond wishes that you come to Rivendell. He did not tell me why, only that it has something to do with the Prince Legolas."
The Lord and Lady of Lothlorien and a messenger for Rivendell telling Oropher that he needed to go to the home of his son's enemy was too much and he passed out.
"OROPHER!" "FATHER!" everyone in the room yelled one or the other.
*****Five days later in Rivendell
Elladan and Elrohir had been sent to get fresh blankets for Legolas, when they saw something that shocked them. Oropher, Thranduil, Celeborn, Galadriel, Pengedhel, and an elf they didn't recognize came through the gates of the elven kingdom.
"ADA!" they both yelled dropping the blankets and running back to Legolas' room.
All the elves in Oropher's company had to hold back laughter when they saw the twins. "Let's go inside," Celeborn said, dismounting. Thranduil didn't say anything, just glared up at the building in front of him.
"I think it would be best if I showed you the way. And have you told them yet?" Gandalf was suddenly there, and his last question had been directed at Celeborn and Galadriel.
"GANADLF?!" Oropher and Thranduil yelled.
"Well at least Legolas didn't act that way when he first saw me," Gandalf joked with them. Then he turned to the Lothlorien elves and raised an eyebrow.
"No, we haven't told them. Yet I think it would be better to than to let them see first." Celeborn answered the wizard's question.
"Thranduil, the reason you were asked to come here was because Sauron is after Legolas." Galadriel told the crown prince.
"What? Why?"
"We don't know, but Legolas has been cursed Thranduil." Gandalf answered the question.
*****
"ADA!" the twins yelled, running into the room. They ended up receiving a dark look from Elrond, Gil-galad, and Glorfindel. "Their here Ada." Elrohir told his father.
"So is Galadriel and Celeborn," his twin finished for him.
By the time they had finished Thranduil had burst into the room. "Where is he Elrond?" Thranduil roared, glaring daggers at his enemy.
"He's right here Thranduil." Elrond said in a voice just as cold as Thranduil's.
At the moment everyone else came into the room Legolas let out a moan and his brow furrowed. "What's wrong with him?" Elladan asked.
No one answered, but Gandalf had pulled them all back from the elfling. A deep laugh came out of Legolas' mouth that was not his own. "Did you really think you could protect him Elrond?" Legolas asked, while sitting up. Yet it wasn't Legolas' voice. It was deep, and cold. "I will come to Rivendell in five days and unless you don't want this elf to die then you will give me that special gold of yours. But, foe now, I think we will show you what power I do have." A dark shadow wrapped itself around Legolas as the elf passed out. A scream escaped his lips, as the shadow seemed to get even darker.
"Gandalf, what's happening?" shouted Gil-galad.
"He's become mortal."
"WHAT?" shout everyone (besides Galadriel, Celeborn, and Gandalf).
"He just lost his immortality.
As the shadow started to fade Legolas let out another scream and then slumped onto the pillow. Elrond rushed to the elfling's side. It seemed that he had woken up and he looked at Elrond with dull eyes. It hunted the lord that those eyes once bight, yet full of sadness, were now empty. Legolas small, weak voice broke his thoughts.
"It's Sauron," was all the Prince of Mirkwood was able to say before he passed out again.
