Chapter 52: Tooth Fairy

Legolas shook Haldir. Then he shook Haldir some more. Haldir did not seem to want to wake up, and that upset the elfling greatly. He wanted his babysitter awake, yet he would not wake. He pounded his small fists on his babysitter's chest and he wailed loudly. But Haldir was in a deep and good sleep.

Legolas heard his stomach rumbling, making him even hungrier than before. He finally let out a loud yell that made both his brothers come running.

"Legolas, what is it?"

"I want Haldiw."

"Legolas, gwador [brother], Haldir needs some rest. Why don't you join Cield and I...?"

"NO! WANT HALDIW!"

Haldir popped up as he heard the prince's scream. Legolas immediately buried his small face in Haldir's chest and wrapped his arms around Haldir.

"What is it little yellow leaf?"

"I wanted you but you did not wake!"

"Well, I am awake now."

"I'm hungry."

"Cield, Tonus, please make lunch, or get Galion too, I fear I am too sleepy and would burn an arm off and cut off three fingers on each hand if ever I tried sometime soon to cook."

Haldir watched as the brothers left the room, and then Legolas made himself a place to sit in Haldir's arms, cuddling up against him.

"So, Legolas, did Carak come?"

"Yes! And I had a dream too that Carak came..."

"Oh Really? What was it like?"

"Well... I was sleeping and then a shining fairy came in the room... her name was carak, but she looked like you... in a dress!"

"You sure it was not bed robes that Carak was wearing?" Haldir recalled wearing his blue bed robes that day he placed the money beneath his pillow... not a dress.

"No. It was a pink and fluffy dress."

Haldir blushed at even the thought of the little prince dreaming of him in a pink, fluffy, shiny fairy dress.

"She left me a gold coin Haldiw!"

"Really?"

"Yef!"

Legolas kissed Haldir on his cheek, and then Tonus entered the room, carrying a tray of sandwiches. He left them with the elfling and Haldir, took some for Cield and himself, and then left.

"Can I ride Twig after' lunch?"

"Well, Legolas, I'd love to let you, but..."

To be Continued...

For all who were wondering [this was writing for Haldir's Heart and Soul the last time I posted this story, but it's for all of you now] The following is about Thranduil's incident.

You see, long ago, there was a war, which we call "The battle of the last alliance between men and elves". Thranduil was there. You see, Thranduil was fighting.

Thranduil: I am fighting

Before Gil-Galad's command (he was a good son and listened to his Ada's command instead) but an orc tried to stab him from behind. Oropher jumped behind Thranduil and killed the orc without Thranduil knowing his father was behind him. Thranduil ducked because an arrow was aiming for him, but since he did not know his father was behind him, by ducking, the arrow hit Oropher (who had his back turned and did not see).

Of course Thranduil wept over his father's body. Galion (a long-time friend of Thranduil, as well as butler nowadays) tried to get his to move because he would be killed if he stayed. Galion stayed by the weeping Thranduil (who refused to move from his father's body) and Galion protected him, for orcs kept trying to kill the crying king. While protecting Thranduil, Galion lost a finger and damaged his bow hand. Galion could no longer hold sword or bow, so he dragged Thranduil away from his father. But, Thranduil tried to return to Oropher's body, and whilst trying to get back to the body, Thranduil was hit by a poisonous arrow in his shoulder which made him soon unconscious.

Galion dragged him to be healed (and Galion needed healing himself). Galion was no longer able to fight, for he lost his finger on the hand he held his sword with (and he had a broken wrist as well), and the poison spread in Thranduil and the king was temporarily blind, and well, his vision was damaged slightly. May sound dumb but I wrote that down on some papers a while back.
