Hey, look everyone I'm still alive! *cough* thank God *cough*. I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long. Actually it's not my fault, it's someone's whose name I will not mention. *cough* Cosmos *cough*. She had to e-mail something to me that took her forever, I mean literally. I asked her for the thing about five days after I put up the last chapter! Ok, I need to stop talking, and start writing this story.

Note: I don't care if people want to flame this chapter. I will remind you all that this is AU, so don't kill me for it, please. Also Milbarn is pronounced Mel-bar-n. Got it? Good.

Dew Drops On A Sword

The Valar

Mordor

Legolas watched in horror as Sauron's foot came closer. He shut his eyes, waiting for the blow to come.

****The Halls of Mandos

Tilant watched from the Halls of Mandos. His temper was getting the better of him, and his mother, the former Queen of Mirkwood, Milbarn, had to pull him away from the orb he was watching from. "How in the world does he always get himself into trouble?! Damn it, Thranduil, move your ass and go save hi.!"

Milbarn covered her son's mouth as Elbereth, Eru, Manwe, and Mandos walked into the room. "My lords, my lady, please excuse my son's behavior," Milbarn said, bowing her head, still clamping a hand over Tilant's mouth.

Elbereth smiled slightly. "It's alright, Milbarn. We can understand his behavior."

Eru walked up to the orb, a frown evident on his face. "We must move fast. Time has almost run out for the young one." In a bright flash of light, all four Valar disappeared.

"Um, are they going to save Legolas?" Tilant asked stupidly.

Milbarn just sighed, and then hit her son over the head.

*****Mordor

Legolas felt a warm, comforting presence around him. He looked up to see that Sauron had steeped away from him. Behind the Dark Lord, there was a white light. It was that light that Legolas felt was giving off the comfort.

Before the young elfling could see more, he felt all his energy drain from him, and darkness over come him.

*****

The Valar faced Sauron; all of their faces showed the anger and hatred they felt. They knew they couldn't use their power, for it would risk destroying Middle-Earth.

"Leave the elfling alone, Sauron," Manwe said in a cold, deadly voice.

"Your too late. He would have let go by now," Sauron hissed back at him.

"Oh, really?" the Dark Lord heard Mandos' voice from behind him. He turned around to see the young prince in the Valar's arms, the elf still in the world of blackness. Mandos glared at Sauron once more. The Dark Lord, though, was unfazed, and glared back at him.

In another wave of light, the Valar once again disappeared. Going back to the Halls of Mandos, taking Legolas with them.

*****Rivendell

Elladan leaned on the railing of the balcony outside Legolas' room. "You miss him?" Elrohir asked, coming up behind him, already knowing the answer to his question.

"Of course. It's like the time when he went back to Mirkwood and we missed him."

"Only this time he's been kidnapped and taken to Mordor," Elrohir finished for him.

"You two have a question for us, do you not?" Galadriel asked, coming into the room with Gandalf and Celeborn.

"Yes, Grandmother," both answered together.

"Well, then ask it," Gandalf said to them.

The twins looked at each other and then Elrohir began to talk. "We wanted to know why our father and King Thranduil almost risked open war with each other."

The three elders looked at each other, and then Gandalf and Celeborn sighed. "That was a completely pointless and stupid disagreement," Celeborn sighed again.

"I'll agree with that," Gandalf said.

Galadriel laughed at the two, and then looked back at her grandchildren. "Your father and the King of Mirkwood had one of the most pointless arguments in all of Middle-Earth. Basically, it involved Tilant and a book of great power that was "supposedly" stolen."

Galadriel began to tell the story to the two twins, making sure to skip some parts that they didn't need to know about.

I know I said that I would tell you how the story started in this chapter but I saw a problem with that, so I'll have to wait until the end of the story if you want know.
