Hi everybody! *waves* I thought that I would go ahead and let people that
read Cage Bird know that I'll post the sequel for it when there are only 2
or 3 chapters left to this story. Please, no one ask me why I'm saying
this, considering that most people who read Cage Bird won't be reading
this.
Also, if I only have 3 reviews for this chapter then I'm not going to
update and you'll all have to deal with it.
Anyways, shall we get on with the story now?
Dewdrops on a Sword The Halls of Mandos and the Return Home
*****The Halls of Mandos
Tilant's eyes widen as he saw Mandos walk into a room with a sleeping Legolas in he arms. Milbarn came to his side as Manwe, Eru, and Elbereth followed Mandos into the room. Before Milbarn could stop him, Tilant ran toward the door, and burst through the door.
The four Valar looked up at him as he slammed the door shut. "Well, we thought that you would show up here, but not so soon, Prince Tilant," Elbereth said with a sweet, gentle smile in place.
"My lords, my lady," Tilant said quickly, bowing his head down in respect. "How is he?" the dead prince asked, worry clear in his eyes. "He's not...dead, is he?"
This time it was Manwe that smiled. "No, just a little tired."
"Then may I ask why he is here?" Milbarn asked, coming up behind he eldest son.
"He needs time to rest and heal in a place where Sauron cannot reach him. This is the safest for him to do that," Eru said, bending down to see the young, still alive, prince's wounds.
"I think it would be best if you waited outside until we finish healing him," Elbereth said, walking with Milbarn and Tilant outside the room. As soon as the two were in the hall, she shut the door gently, and to make sure Tilant wasn't going to barge into the room again she locked it.
"So, what are we suppose to do now?" Tilant asked, looking at his mother.
"Wait," was the only word he got for an answer.
*****Rivendell
"My lord," Oropher heard a voice from behind him. Turning around he saw the twin sons of Elrond, both with bowed heads.
"Young princes," Oropher said, nodding his head in acknowledgement to the two. They stood in silence for a while until Elladan spoke.
"I think silence is what has been ruling here since Legolas was taken."
"He's right. Usually you'll hear Glorfindel, or our father yelling at us because of something we broke, or because of a prank we played on some one..."
"Or both," Elladan finished for his brother.
Oropher couldn't help but smile somewhat. "No wonder you three became friends. Legolas is exactly like you. Always getting into trouble and then getting yelled at."
"Well, I think I'd like to go to Mirkwood. Legolas gets away with everything here, because he's 'only a child.'" Elladan said.
"Or in the words of the maidens: 'He's too cute and innocent to do anything horrible, unlike the sons of Elrond.'" Elrohir added.
Oropher felt the smile on his face grow wider, and then he broke out into laughter. The twins looked at the King of Mirkwood and then started laughing as well.
*****The Halls of Mandos
"Tilant, Milbarn, you can see him now," Elbereth said, stepping out into the hall.
"Thank you, my lady," Milbarn said bowing her head. Tilant, on the other hand, ran passed Elbereth and into the room.
Milbarn sighed and looked apologetically at Elbereth. "I'm going to have to teach him some manners."
Elbereth smiled softly. "There's no need. He's just worried, as is natural."
*****
Tilant looked at the small form of his brother under a mound of blankets. "Hey, little brother," he said softly, pushing a few strands of hair out of Legolas' face. The little prince was still asleep, and Tilant couldn't bring himself to wake him.
"You best say your good-byes fast, Tilant," Manwe said coming up behind him.
Tilant turned around and gave Manwe a questioning glance. "Why? He was just healed. Your now moving him so soon, are you?"
"We have to, little one. Keeping Prince Legolas here would only ensure his death."
Tilant lowered his eyes as Elbereth, Mandos, and Eru walked into the room. Mandos once again took the elf in his arms, and in a bright flash they disappeared, leaving Tilant alone.
*****Rivendell
Oropher, Elladan, and Elrohir had joined with Gandalf, Gil-galad, and Glorfindel. Now all six were walking toward the dinning hall. Gil-galad suddenly stopped, and took a few steps back. Everyone soon joined him, realizing that they were looking into the room where Sauron had kidnapped Legolas. It surprised them to see both Thranduil and Elrond in the room, with nether one trying to bit off the other's head. All six rushed into the room when a bright flash of white light burst into the room. When everyone was finally able to see again, what they saw shocked them. Standing on the far side of the room were Elbereth, Manwe, Eru, and Mandos with a sleeping Legolas in his arms. Mandos softly lay the elfling on the bed, and then tried gently to make the little prince let go of his hair.
The first person to come out of shock was Gil-galad. "My lords, my lady," he said bowing down quickly.
Elbereth gave him a soft smile as the others did the same, finally coming out of shock themselves. "There is still one problem we have to take care of before we leave."
The elves looked at her in confusion until Manwe explained. "His immortality has been tinted, and there is no way to get it back now."
"So, he'll die?" Thranduil asked slowly.
"No, we plan on giving him some of our immortality." The elves and wizard were once again in shock. Giving someone immortality meant to give them part of your soul. If the Valar gave Legolas immortality it would mean he would have the soul of a Valar.
A soft glow surrounded the four Valar and Legolas. When it died down, the Valar were gone, and there was a immense feel of power radiating from the youngest Prince of Mirkwood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, I didn't think this chapter would be so long, but oh well. Remember if only get 3 reviews for this chapter, this will be the last chapter of the story. Truly though, there are suppose to be about 4 or 5 more chapters to this.
Anyways, shall we get on with the story now?
