Because it took me soo long to post the other chapter, I decided that I
should give all of you the extra chapter.
Authors note: I don't know if Elrond and Thranduil were ever friends but they are in this story.
Chapter 9 By moonlight
Legolas looked through his pack for about the sixth time that night. Satisfied that he had everything he needed, he sat in a chair by his bed, sighing in discontent. Night had fallen quickly and he told his father that he would not leave until the sun rose, but he did not know if he could wait that long.
He looked at his twin daggers and sheathed them. He did not know if he would need them but it was better to be prepared then vice versa. He looked at the moon, thinking of Aragorn. He stood and grabbed his pack.
There would be no waiting until morning, now was the time to go, there would be no waiting. He walked to the stables silently. He saddled his horse whispering to him so he'd keep quiet. He led his horse outside of the stables, and away from the castle.
Thranduil stood on his balcony unnoticed by his so. Thranduil could not sleep for he had, had a feeling his son would leave tonight. "So by moonlight he leaves." Elrond said stepping out of the shadows.
Thranduil jumped slightly, he had not heard his friend come in. "Yes by moonlight he leaves." Thranduil said sadly. "He will be alright."
Elrond said knowing what was going through his friends mind. Thranduil gave an un-elf like snort. "Don't say that, every time one of us say that at least one of our sons come back with near fatal wounds." Thranduil said thinking of all the 'journeys' his son had gone on and come home from with near fatal wounds.
Elrond was smileing also, he too was remembering all the journeys his sons had been on. "I'm headed to my study, I couldn't sleep tonight even if I tried." Thranduil said. "Do you mind company? I to can not sleep."
Elrond said. Thranduil smiled, and they left to go to Thranduil's study. Legolas stopped and looked at his fathers balcony. "I leave by moonlight, by moonlight I shall come. I will see you again father."
Legolas said quietly. He stared at the balcony sadly, then he gracefully got on his horse and urged him into a canter. In a few minutes he disappeared into the woods.
