HOW IT HAPPENED
Reunion
Aragorn, Eomer, Gandalf, and Gimli had given up even trying to tell him Celebros yet lived, he would not listen. Gimli even said it once before the elf could say he wouldn't listen. Legolas called him a liar and threatened to kill him if he said such a terrible lie again.
They reached Minas Tirith and Aragorn looked up to see a figure standing upon the citadel. Before he could convince Legolas to look up, she was gone, so he said nothing. They reached the city and climbed the seven levels. They dismounted and as they reached the citadel, Legolas saw what he mistook for a phantom.
"Celebros, no. It is but a phantasm," Legolas said.
"No, I am no phantasm. Legolas, come to me!" Celebros said. She was confused. What was going on? She did not know any of what had befallen her love. "Come to me dearest!" Celebros pleaded.
"No. If you are Celebros and not some cruel ghost, then you come to me!" Legolas demanded. He had been tortured by her death, he was not about to be bated by a ghost or his minds own tricks.
She was so confused. "Do you not love me anymore?" she asked as she took a step forward.
"I love Celebros, and if you are her, then I love you. But if you are some evil ghost or phantasm, then I shall have nothing to do with you," Legolas firmly said.
Everyone watched, not daring to breathe. Oh how his friends hoped she would come. She drew closer and closer until she was only a few inches away. Legolas slowly raised his hand to her face. He hesitated, his hand only an inch away from her fair cheek. He swallowed hard, took a deep breath, then let his hand touch her cheek. Praise Elbereth! She was real! He was so overjoyed that the moment his hand came in contact with her face, he wrapped her in his arms and covered her in fervent kisses.
"You're alive! You're alive!" he said in between kisses.
She was confused, but glad he finally thought she was real at any rate. What was going on? Everyone was glad that he was apparently cured, and they left him alone with his love Celebros.
Later, when Legolas was in another room, Aragorn explained to Celebros what had occurred after she was wounded. Afterwards she faithfully pledged not to breathe a word of it to Legolas.
Years later, Celebros and Legolas were married, and lived happily together ever after.
One day, when Aragorn was getting quite old, he recalled the incident and in his private memoirs and recorded Legolas' strange behavior during the War of the Ring.
Thousands of years later, Tolkien found Bilbo's Red Book, but Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh found Aragorn's memoirs and thus, the world was reintroduced to Legolas, Captain Obvious.
THE END
Authors
note: I think this tale was funnier in theory than in actual telling.
I hope you all can forgive me for being so cruel to Legolas. PLEASE!
