Ok this is my first ever fan fiction story so all comments and constructive criticism welcomed. Flames shall be ignored or yelled at. I know that the characters may not be how Tolkein wrote them and if the story line is similar to any previous stories then I am very sorry but I didn't know. I am trying to improve my story so I may improve on in but the basic storyline will stay the same. Oh and if anyone spots any slang or mistakes please let me know.

I am assuming that Legolas and Aragorn are friends and that Aragorn was brought up by Elrond and called Estel and that Gilraen isn't around (and no I'm not saying why. I have an idea for a fic suddenly appearing, hmmm).

Elrond turned looking out of the window to the beauty of the valley in the sunset and sighed. He was worried. Estel was coming to Rivendell sometime soon he hoped or at least he had received a message saying that he was intending to. Maybe only a year ago he would be more worried, worried enough to send the twins to look for him as the message had arrived nearly a month ago but now Elrond didn't know what to do. It could be that Estel was in trouble or that he had merely delayed in Mirkwood and was playing pranks on everyone there, or it could be he was delaying because he didn't want to see Elrond again which was what he was worried about. They hadn't parted on the best of terms. A rift had been driven between them all because of Arwen and Estels love. They all knew that Elrond only wanted the best for his only daughter but it had still meant Aragorn's departure from Imladris now nearly 9 months ago.

Just then a horse, with rider, came into the courtyard area. Elrond hurried down to meet him recognising the rider as Legolas.

'Hello. This must be a first, you coming here under your own power.' said Elrond.

'Only since Aragorn has been around. Is he around?' came the reply.

At this Elrond looked worried.' You mean he should be here?'

'Well yes. He left a week before me and I had to take a message to the Beornings, he should have been here a week and a half to two weeks ago.' Legolas just stopped himself from adding "You mean he isn't" realising that it would make him sound fairly stupid instead asking 'Are Elladan and Elrohir here? We need to go and look for him.'

Before Elrond could answer Legolas' questions one of the elves that had been on a patrol around the edge of Imladris came running into the area and spotting Elrond hurried over to him.

'What is it?'

'We spotted a group of riders heading fast this way. When I left we were sure it was the hunting party that included Elladan and Elrohir but one of them was supporting someone in front of them. It was too far to tell but it looked like he was badly hurt and My Lord we believe it is Estel.'

I'm sorry its short but I wanted to post something to see what people think and I still need to write most of the rest of it.

I will try to update sometime soon so please review
