Disclaimer: Look, the third chapter. Wow, I really am spitting these out, aren't I? Well, its technically STILL summer, at least until the 9th. Then Im back to School and updates will probably slow down considerably. But, oh well, this is the disclaimer... I don't own anyone, really. Oh, and this chap is short, but ill probably make up for it later. sorry.
The blonde haired elf stared, not even trying to hide the betrayal that flashed across his face. His lips were drawn into a thin line, his eyes devoid of any warmth. He disregarded the confused child and turned instead to the Lord of Rivendell.
"Lord Elrond." He said, his voice taunt with restraint, "I had no idea we were permitting these creatures into Rivendell. I will leave within the hour." And he pivoted and marched out.
"Legolas!" Elrond cried, stunned. He had no idea that the kind prince could ever say such a thing.
"Mellon-nin." Glorfindel touched his arm lightly. His head gestured slightly to the corner. (My friend.)
Elrond turned, just in time to see his adopted son crumple to the floor, his face white. "ESTEL!"
Elladan and Ellohir ran down the hall, their eyes filled with worry. They all but crashed through the door to Estel's room, only to be stopped short by Elrond, who motioned them away. The twins barely caught a glimpse of their adopted brother before the door was shut.
"Ada, what has happened?" Elladan asked as soon as they were settled in the office. "Why has Estel collapsed?" (Father)
Elrond ran a hand through his hair, sighing. "Nin-ions...Estel is deeply wounded as am I. I have never seen him act like this before."
"Who Ada?" Ellohir this time. (Father)
"Legolas."
The enraged elf was furiously stuffing his clothes and belongings he had brought into his saddlebag. He refused to stay here with that human. What was Elrond thinking? Human's had been nothing but a curse to the inhabitants of Mirkwood. Did he think he wouldn't notice?
"Laiqulasse!" A voice shouted.
Legolas turned his back on the twins and mounted his horse. "I have nothing to say. Nor do I wish to explain my actions." And the prince rode out of Rivendell, the twin sons of Elrond watching with stunned faces.
"Laiqulasse..."
six years later:
Anan rounded the corner, his proud head lifted as he beheld the sight he had been deprived of these last years. Rivendell.
"It has been too long, hasn't it Anan?" A voice said, the clear voice reverberating of the waterfalls and caves. The wildlife ceased its chatter, they hadn't heard that voice in a long time. It was different, but they would recognize it anywhere.
Legolas turned his face to the sun, his cerulean eyes sparkling. "I chose to come back." He said more to himself than anything. "Human's live short lives. Maybe this 'Estel' has already perished." He smiled. Was it too much to hope for?
He had barely reached the front gates when there came a cry and someone crashed into Anan. Acting on instinct, the stallion reared, turning those sharp hooves at the elf lying on the ground. Legolas pulled on his partners mane, shouting commands in elvish.
"Elladan!"
The blonde elf's eyes turned to see Ellohir, too far away to do anything to save the brother facing certain death. "HAUTA ANAN!" Legolas tried again, helpless as the horse came down right on Elladan. (Stop Anan!)
Afterword: .;; Sorry. Sorry. I had to do it at least once. And I know a lot of you people out there are not going to like how Legolas reacts to Estel, but you have to understand that at this point humans and elves rarely got along. And for Legolas, whose home is being invaded by both evil dwarves, corrupted humans, and goblins... He isn't going to take kindly to the child. But...mind going ahead There is something coming up in the next chapter that will evidently make him change his mind. Maybe two, if I can fashion it so it doesn't sound like I'm ripping millions of people off although its been done so many times before. So, that's all for now. RR! Hannon le!
