Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews! Again and I would like to anwser Justso all though he/she will probably not read this since she/he is bored of his/her mind with my story.
I am not 15, I am older actually. For one I don't understand why a 15 year old would have problems with a relationships? I can have you insulting me but don't insult the people who are reading my story. If you find my writing style childish or bad then that's fine, I know that I have things to work on and I'm trying to make my stories/writing better all the time. I can't help it if you were bored by my story, which is actually your personal take on the story so it's just plain rude to say it that way. This story is on the fav list of 10 people and 19 people wish to be alerted when this story is updated. So I guess not everyone finds it as boring as you.
My story was never based on the relations between elves and men, but yes it was the reason why Legolas and Aragorn need to marry. I never tried to write this story out of that aspect. I do not understand why a marriage between Frodo and the mouth of Sauron has something to do with the marriage between Legolas and Aragorn. If you would've chosen Gimli and Legolas I would've understand because you tell me my story is based on the relation between elves and men which is as bad as it is between elves and dwarfs.
I don't understand why you think of Legolas as a lady and I have not seen a moment in my story where Arwen shows more guts then Legolas, if you did then tell me. All though Legolas is portrayed as a warrior in both the books and movies he has never been introduced as a warrior in this story and he never was. Seeing that Legolas would become Aragorn's 'faithfull wife' (I think that is what you would wish to call it) there has been no need for him to be a warrior.
I agree with you that there could have been more description, I will work on that. OCC (firiël) just a cardboard character? I have reviews in which people actually feel sorry for Firiël I guess that makes him more then just cardboard, don't you think?
I will work on the thins you pointed out as much as I can. And yes, I know that Aragorn/Legolas marriage and mpreg is done a hundred times, which made me rather unsure of posting this story. But as some reviewers said I actually found a way to make it work without following the plotline everyone expects.. The only mistake anyone has pointed out to me if Firiël's name since it means mortal daughter but changing a name is actually not what I meant when I said changing and I do not think people would want me to just change a name. It was meant for facts from the books or movies which I had wrong. And yes, I did promise that. I will try to give my characters more depth but either my reviewers are lying but I know they aren't or they find that they actually do feel something while reading about my characters and that does not make them paper-thin.
I think my vocabulary is reasonable enough for people to understand what I mean and that has also nothing to do with the fact that you think that I write as a 15 year old child, that has something to do with the words I know. If people wish for me to write with bigger and more difficult words I will do so, but I don't think that will make the reading easier.
Thanks for the review, I will see what I can change I will try at least.
A Love Once Realized
By Clio Leanan Sidhe
Chapter six
As summer began Elrond was surprised to find they had a visitor from Lothlorien, Haldir. That evening a small feast was held in his honour. Of course a small feast still meant that there were many elves present. Haldir had come to Rivendell with news from Mithrandir who had travelled through Lorien some time ago. That night Haldir rested his eyes on a blonde elf, with sparking blue eyes and a beautiful smile. He placed a hand on Elrond's shoulder and smiled at the elf sitting next to him. "Lord Elrond, who is that elf?" He asked, pointing towards the blonde he had been staring at the entire evening.
"That is Legolas Greenleaf, he comes from Mirkwood." Elrond replied, thinking nothing of the strange question Haldir had asked him.
Haldir frowned. "I do not recall seeing him before."
"I do not think he has left Mirkwood's borders since now." Elrond decided, watching Legolas while he answered Haldir's questions.
Haldir nodded. "And I have never been close to Mirkwood myself." He said, more to himself then to the elf next to him. When he saw Legolas leave and walk to the balcony Haldir excused himself and followed Legolas outside.
Elrond thought nothing of it when Haldir excused himself and started a conversation with his daughter, Arwen.
Legolas sighed, closing his eyes for a second.
Haldir watched the lithe form of Legolas for a while before he opened his mouth to speak and let Legolas know that he had joined the other elf outside. "It is a beautiful evening."
Legolas turned quickly and frowned when he saw an elf he had never seen before. "Yes, it is." He replied, trying to be polite. He was not really in the mood for visitors but he could not ignore the blond elf who was speaking to him, it would not be appropriate.
"I am Haldir, from Lothlorien." Haldir said and walked over to Legolas so he was standing besides Legolas.
Legolas smiled and turned to look at the sky again. "So you are the one everyone keeps speaking about," He started and gave Haldir a sideways glance. "I am Legolas."
Haldir nodded and looked around. The sky was changing to a soft purple colour. "But Rivendell is always beautiful of course."
"I have to agree." Legolas said to him and turned to look at Haldir once again. "For how long will be you staying?" He asked then.
Haldir shrugged and looked at Legolas. "It depends."
"On what?" Legolas asked.
The other elf replied with a smile. "On if I am wanted here." Haldir replied.
"Why wouldn't you be." Legolas asked softly.
Haldir shrugged once again and stayed silent, watching as the sky started to become darker. "Let's go back inside." Haldir whispered to Legolas and received a nod from the other elf. He took Legolas' hand carefully and guided him back inside where the feast was still going on. Haldir smiled and squeezed Legolas' hand softly. "Would you like to dance?" He asked, giving Legolas a sideways look.
"Of course." Legolas answered, following Haldir.
Aragorn looked around in search for his companion. He walked over to his brother, Elrohir who was discussing something with Erestor. He tapped his brother on his shoulder and waited until Elrohir had turned to face him. "Elrohir, have you seen Legolas."
"Of course brother, everyone has noticed him." Elrohir said to him. "One elf in particular." He added, hoping to get a reaction from Aragorn. When Aragorn frowned he smiled softly and pointed towards the dancing couple. "There he is, together with Haldir."
Aragorn turned and looked at the dancing couple. The moment he saw Legolas laugh he felt his stomach turn. "I see..." He muttered and tried to ignore them as he sat down next to Glorfindel and started a conversation with him.
Legolas laughed softly as Haldir twirled him around. "Stop Haldir." He tried and the other elf listened to him, once again pulling him close to his own body and placed his hand on Legolas' back.
Haldir smiled and pulled Legolas even closer, he could feel Legolas' warm breath brush against his cheek and it made him want to pull Legolas even closer if that had been possible without anyone around them noticing. "Would you like to join me tomorrow?" Legolas asked softly. "I am going to ride, we could go to the lake and have a picnic."
Haldir smiled and nodded. "I would love to, Legolas."
O O O
The next day Legolas found himself waiting for Haldir in the stables, brushing a hand through the manes of his horse Arod. When he felt a hand on his shoulder he smiled and turned. "Good morning Haldir, I hope you slept well."
Haldir nodded and looked around for his horse. He smiled when he saw the familiar dark horse. "Let us go then."
Legolas nodded and started to lead Arod out of the stables. Once outside he mounted him and waited for Haldir who quickly followed. "The lake is not far from here, we will be able to spend a couple of hours there if you like."
Haldir just nodded and then he followed Legolas. Both of them were happy when they reached the lake. He took their lunch with him and told Arod to stay close to the lake before walking over to it and sitting down, placing the food on the ground at his side. Haldir sat down next to him and Legolas smiled when he saw Haldir looking at him. "What is it?" He asked.
Haldir said nothing and looked away, taking one of the apple's which were laying between them. Both ate in silence but when they were finished Legolas pushed himself up and grinned. "Let's go swimming." He decided and started to undress himself, not knowing that Haldir watched his every move. Legolas looked down at Haldir and pulled him up. "Well, are you coming?" He asked and got rid of his boots which were soon followed by his pants.
Haldir undressed slowly as he watched Legolas step towards the water. He kept his eyes on the pale back, trying to remember every curve of the body which belonged to Legolas. He followed Legolas into the water when his body was completely swallowed by the water. Legolas turned and smiled when he saw that Haldir was close to him.
Haldir took Legolas' arm and spun him around, receiving a yelp from the smaller elf.
Legolas frowned when he felt hands upon his back, kneading softly. "What are you doing Haldir?" He asked softly.
"Just relax Legolas." Haldir replied and continued kneading the soft skin of Legolas' back. He trailed downwards until they reached Legolas' lower back. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Legolas' soft skin underneath his calloused hands.
Legolas closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the backrub Haldir was giving him but he felt rather uncomfortable. He stepped away from Haldir and thanked him. He turned to look at Haldir and made sure there was a fair distance between the two of them.
He tried to ignore Haldir's stares but found it difficult as he swam around in the lake. He soon left the water and lay down on his stomach to dry. He rested his head on his arms which were folded underneath and closed his eyes to try and calm his nerves. He didn't like the way Haldir was staring at him, but he had to be polite to the elf from Lorien.
Legolas pushed Haldir away when he felt lips press against his shoulder, he turned, pulling his shirt with him to cover himself in front of Haldir. "Please don't do that, I am bonded to Aragorn, Haldir." He started and continued quickly. "And I feel nothing more then friendship for you."
Haldir frowned. "I did not know that you were bonded to Elrond's son." He muttered and grabbed his clothes. "I guess I misunderstood you, I am sorry."
Legolas nodded. "It is fine Haldir, but don't let it happen again." He whispered and dressed himself quickly.
"Haldir."
Both Haldir and Legolas turned when they heard a familiar voice. Aragorn walked over to them and placed a hand on Haldir's shoulder. "I was searching for you, I have a question." Aragorn glanced at Legolas quickly and then returned to look at Haldir. "Would you come with me for a minute?"
Haldir nodded and followed him into the forest and away from Legolas. "What is it Aragorn?" He asked, slightly nervous because of the kiss that he had given Legolas, he wondered if Aragorn had seen it.
"Do you know of an elf that was send from Rivendell to Lothlorien?" Aragorn asked softly, hope filling his voice.
Haldir nodded. "I believe you mean Firiël?" Haldir asked and when Aragorn nodded eagerly he continued. "Yes, he arrived and is well."
"Has he said anything about Rivendell?"
Haldir looked at Aragorn for a long time before he replied. "If you are asking me if said something about you then no, he hasn't."
Aragorn nodded. "Oh, thank you Haldir." He started walking away but stopped and turned for a second. "And please, do not touch my companion again." He said before turning again and walking back to the lake. Aragorn took Legolas' hand and pulled the blonde up. "Let's go home." He said to the blonde and didn't wait for Legolas to say anything.
O O O
That evening neither Aragorn or Legolas could sleep. The blonde elf was reading a book while Aragorn sat deep in thought. Finally Aragorn opened his mouth to speak, looking at Legolas. "I want you to stay away from Haldir." He muttered.
Legolas rested his book on his lap and looked at Aragorn. "You want me to stay away from Haldir?" He asked startled but soon continued. "And what gives you the right to want anything from me?"
"I am your companion." Aragorn returned.
Legolas raised a brow and snorted. "And that gives you the right to tell me what to do?" He asked. "You do not own me." Legolas added quickly.
"Yes I do." Aragorn said through clenched teeth. When he had seen Haldir and Legolas together he had been jealous and wished nothing more then to keep Legolas away from the Lorien elf.
Legolas got of the bed and placed his hands on his hips, his book completely forgotten on the silken sheets of their bed. "You do not want me and you do not love me, what gives you the right to own me!" He yelled. "I belong only to myself!"
Aragorn also got up and glared at the elf on the other side of their bed. "I want you to stay away from Haldir and you will listen to me!" He yelled back.
"The moment you tell me that you love me I might consider listening to you," Legolas started, keeping his voice low and almost as a hiss. "But right now your words mean as much to me as I do to you, completely nothing." He replied and left then, leaving Aragorn behind with his anger.
O O O
Thranduil lay thinking in his bed. Since they day of the wedding the only thought that haunted his mind was that of the biggest mistake he had made in his life. He had hoped to find Aragorn and Legolas loving each other, but his son's love was not returned. And now Legolas was bounded to a man who did not love him, an empty bonding of two very young souls.
A knock on his door startled him and he sat up in his bed. "Yes?"
"Father, it is me." Legolas replied from the other side of the door, resting his head against the wood.
Thranduil frowned, wondering what his son would do at his room so late. "Come in Legolas."
Legolas entered Thranduil's room quickly, shutting the door behind him. He walked over to the large bed and lay down next to his father, pulling the heavy blankets over his body. "Do you mind if I stay here tonight, father?"
Thranduil shook his head. "Of course not," He lay down himself, pulling his son into his arms. "What is wrong Legolas."
"We had a fight, Aragorn believes he owns me and I believe he doesn't." Legolas whispered.
Thandruil kissed Legolas' cheek and smiled at his son. "I wish I could take you back with me to Mirkwood."
Legolas' eyes lit up when he heard his father say this. "Can't you?" He asked softly, hoping in his heart that he would be able to return even if it was just for a little while. "Oh please father, I wish to see Mirkwood again."
Thranduil sighed. "I could try and talk to Lord Elrond but-"
"Thank you father." Legolas interrupted him and smiled at the king.
Thranduil sighed again and watched Legolas for a long time, he could see the eyes of his son go vacant and knew that he was asleep. "I truly have made the biggest mistake by giving you away." He whispered and kissed his son's forehead before he too fell asleep.
