Chapter 6

The following morning was a rush. Servants were running around, trying to get the guestrooms ready for the elves that were to come today. A large meal was also being made in the kitchen, seeing as there was going to be a feast in the honor of the Mirkwood elves arrival.

Elrond was trying to finish his work in record time, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it later in the evening. He had some help from Erestor, but he had to leave to get some of his own work done.

Glorfindel had canceled the patrol duty today, seeing as one day of no patrol really didn't matter. He wanted his troops to be ready when the Mirkwood elves arrived.

Everyone had something to do, that is, except the twins and Estel. Seeing as all the lessons were cancelled, they really didn't have all that much to do. The Mirkwood elves would be arriving in another few hours, and if they decided to have a little "fun," they were more likely to get a lettuce about how to act from their ada.

Right now, they were in Elladan's room. Estel figured that since the elves will be arriving, there was no way that their ada was going to let them leave. So right now, they were trying to decide who was going to be the one to look for Legolas and tell him what was going on.

"But didn't he say that he will be the one to find us.?" Elladan didn't think that they should just go and look for the elusive elf. He didn't think that they would be able to find him.

Elrohir sighed. "One of us has to go. If all three of us go, it will look suspicious."

Estel raised his head. He was laying on the bed. "Well, which one of us will go? I would go, but I'm not as quiet as an elf." He sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. "Honestly, I think that Elrohir should go. After all, it wouldn't be unusual if you arrive late for something."

"He has a point, brother. Everyone knows that you like to arrive late, unless it is something very important." Elladan smiled as he said this. Elrohir was giving Estel the glare-of-all-glares, but then turned his attention and glare to Elladan.

"Fine! I'll do it. Just back me up, ok?"

Estel nodded his head. "Of course, you don't have to worry about that. Elladan and I can come up with a convincing lie." Hopefully. Estel didn't say thins out loud.

Elladan grinned. "Great! Now all we have to do is find something to do to pass the time."

As they began to make plans for the rest of their free time, there was a knock at the door.

Elladan, seeing as it was his room, called out. "Come in!"

Erestor entered the room and shut the door softly behind him. He was wearing a silver robe instead of his normally black robes. When he saw the three brothers, he frowned. Estel was now again laying on the bed, Elladan was sitting on the windowsill with his back against the wall, and Elrohir was sitting on a couch in the room with his legs on a table.

"And just what do you three think you are doing?" There was no anger in his voice, but there was annoyance.

Elladan looked surprised. "What do you think we're doing? We're relaxing, cause there is nothing else to do."

Erestor, for his part, didn't look to happy with that answer. "What do you mean there is nothing to do? There is plenty to do! Now as your tutor, I order you to get off your lazy butts and go look for something to do!" Here he paused before continuing. "Actually, forget that. Elladan, you will help me with work that needs to get done. Estel, you will help your ada in whatever he needs help with. Elrohir, you will go look for Glorfindel and help him in whatever it is that he needs help with."

Erestor turned and opened the door, at the same time motioning Elladan to follow. "And if I hear one complain out of anyone of you, I will find some more to do for you at your next lesson." With that said, he left.

Well, thought Elladan, at least we all have something to do now.

Legolas was resting up in a tree near the Last Homely Home. He was patiently waiting for the others to show up. Long years of waiting has taught him to be patient. He could wait for days if it was necessary. After all, patients was vertu.

Yesterday he came across a group of patrols commanded by a blond haired elf. He had followed them all the way back and occasionally let himself be seen. It amused him the way they became nervous after a while. Once they got to close to the palace, he fell back. Just in case he was actually seen, and to be safe.

But that was all yesterday. He put all his things except for his bow and arrows in a hole near the base of the tree he was in. You could never be to careful, he thought as he fingered the string on his bow to make sure it wouldn't snap anytime soon.

He has been sitting in this tree for several hours straight. Just as he was about to go down to stretch his legs, the sound of hooves reached his ears. Silently, like a shadow, he moved closer to the main road.

At the head of the group, riding a chocolate brown stallion, was a elf with silver-gold hair that was tied in a high ponytail. If Legolas looked hard enough, he could make out the grass-green eyes of the elf. Next to him, on a proud black stallion, was an elf that Legolas has seen before.

This elf had dark brown, almost black, hair that was a little past the shoulders. It was tied in a warrior style braid to show that he was a warrior. His eyes were the same color as his hair and had a look that made it look as if he didn't miss anything. Legolas remembered this elf. It was the captain that he saved when he was in Mirkwood a week ago.

"I wonder what they're doing here." Legolas softly whispered to himself. He crept closer to the elves, keeping to the trees to avoid being seen. He saw the two elves at the front talking to each other, but wasn't close enough to hear what they were saying.

He kept his eyes on the two in front. He felt something nagging at the back of his head, but he ignored this. As if sensing that they were being watched, the elf with the green eyes looked straight at him.

Legolas felt the air in this lungs come out as if he was punched in the stomach and he momentarily lost his balance, but managed to catch himself before he fell out of the tree. As he stood there catching his breath, he let the group of elves travel ahead.

He had no idea what just happened. He couldn't explain it, even to himself. It was almost as he had known that elf before. But how? The thought sent shivers up his spine. Forget about that, you still have to go and wait for the others. With one last look to the group of elves, he made his way back to the tree he was in.

Elrond, Erestor, Glorfindel, Elladan, and Estel were all standing in front of the Homely Home waiting for the Mirkwood elves to arrive. The lookout had spotted the group and said that they should arrive in a few minutes.

"Elladan" Elrond turned to look at his oldest son, "where is your brother? He should of been here by now."

Elladan turned his gaze to Glorfindel and raised an eyebrow. Estel, who was next to him, copied his brothers motion and also raised his eyebrow at the blond haired elf. Elrond and Erestor then turned their gazes to Glorfindel.

"What?" Glorfindel was starting to feel uncomfortable under all the looks. "Just because he was with me doesn't mean that I would know where he is!"

Elladan let a "humf" escape his mouth, as if he didn't believe him. When he saw Estel look at him, he gave a wink.

Estel had to hold his laughter in. It wouldn't help if he suddenly burst out laughing for no reason.

After a few more minutes, a group of elves arrive at the Homely Home. All the elves were on horses and two of them came to the front and swiftly got off.

The elf with the green eyes came forward and bowed with on hand over his heart. The elves behind him soon followed suit. Elrond and the others returned the bow.

The green-eyed elf looked at Elrond before speaking. "Greetings from Mirkwood, Lord Elrond. I am Talan, King Thranduil's advisor."

Elrond smiled. "Well meet Talan. Now, if you please, leave your horses here to be taken care of and follow me. Servants will come and show your escorts to their rooms."

Talan followed Elrond into the palace, with the captain, Erestor, Glorfindel and the other Mirkwood elves not far behind.

When they were sure that no one was around to hear them, Estel turned to Elladan. "Do you think Elrohir found Legolas yet?"

Elladan shook his head. "I'm not sure Estel. With him, you can never be sure."

With that, both of them headed into the palace.

Elrohir managed to get to the forest without being seen. He carefully snuck past the lookout and headed deeper into the woods.

He walked for a few minutes, not going to far from his home. He didn't think that Legolas would be somewhere to far. He walked to the nearest tree and sat at the base. He hoped that Legolas would hurry up, his ada would get suspicious if he returned to late. He let his eyes drift close for a while.

Where was Legolas? He couldn't stay out to long, it wouldn't be smart. He opened his eyes, only to come face to face with bright blue eyes.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Elrohir jumped up and knock Legolas off his feet.

"Owww! You should give out a warning next time your going to do something like that!" Legolas got up and dusted himself off.

Elrohir was clutching the area above his heart. "Don't do that!" He took a few deep breaths to calm himself. Legolas was looking at him with amusement written all over his face. He should get this over with. "Legolas, we can't come with you, we "

Legolas didn't look surprise. "Elves from Mirkwood, am I correct?"

Elrohir looked at him, curiously. "Yes,...how did you know?" His eyes widened when he thought he knew the answer to his question. "Wait, you didn't!"

Legolas smiled and laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't follow them. I heard them approach and decided to take a peak. Forget about that though. I understand the fact that you can't come. As a lords son, I'm sure that you have responsibilities to see to. If you want, I could wait for a few more days until you are ready to go, ok?"

Elrohir just stared at him. Wow, he didn't think that Legolas would understand so quickly. "Sure, I guess you could wait. It shouldn't take to long to get this meeting out of the way."

Legolas nodded his head. "I suggest that you head home. They might begin to wonder where you ran off to."

Elrohir smiled. "I do think that you are right. One of us will come back in a couple of days to tell you if we will be able to go or not." He turned around and ran back the way that he came from.

Legolas stayed where he was until Elrohir disappeared from sight. Once he was out of sight, Legolas frowned. He hoped that the meeting with the other elves didn't take to long. He didn't want to be here to long. The elf with the green eyes had made him both nervous and curios. He wanted to be away before he saw him again. Shaking his head to clear it, Legolas jumped back into the tree to go back and wait.

"Now tell me Talan, why did you travel all the way here?" Elrond asked the advisor, who was sitting across his desk. They were in Elrond's study room. They were the only ones there, except for Estel and Elladan, and the captain.

"Well, my lord, before we begin, may I ask you a question?" Talan needed to know the answer. It would make things much easier for him.

Elrond looked a little confused. "Of course, ask away."

"Thank you my lord." Talan cleared his throat. "My lord, have you sent anyone to Mirkwood this past week or so?"

"What?" Elrond eyes went wide when he hear the question. "Of course not, why would I?"

Now it was Talan's turn to look confused. "Are you sure, because we found something that belongs to you." Talan motioned for the captain to come forth.

The captain was holding something wrapped in a cloth. "My lord, my name is Raindul and I am the captain of the Mirkwood army. About a week or so ago, a group of my elves and I went to go and get ride of a few spiders that were getting to close to our home. After the battle, a soldier found this in one of the spiders." Raindul undid the cloth and pulled out two arrows, one belonging to Rivendell and the other belonging to Lothlorien.

Elrond felt as if his jaw was going to come off. "How can this be? I have sent no one to Mirkwood!"

Estel and Elladan, unknown to the others, shared a look. They knew whose arrows those belong to.

Talan looked at Raindul, who just shrugged. "My lord, do you know if Lothlorien has sent any of their elves to Mirkwood?"

Elrond shook his head. "I don't think they would, unless you ask for aid." He carefully picked up the Rivendell arrow. "How? How did this get there? It doesn't make any sense!"

Raindul cleared his throat, which got the attention of everyone in the room. "My lord, if it would please you, perhaps we could discuses this tomorrow, so that you have time to come to terms with this?"

Elrond nodded his head. "Yes, yes that would be a good idea." He turned his attention to his sons. "Elladan, Estel, would you show our guest to their rooms?" They both nodded and left with the other two elves. Once they were gone, Elrond sank into his chair.

None of this made sense.
