Title: Salty Orc 2

Author: Sivan Shemesh

Beta:Niroveka

Rating: G

Characters: Estel/Aragorn, Legolas, Elladan & Elrohir, Elrond, and might Glorfindel.

Warning: Angst a little bit, fluff, and humor.

Disclaimer: "Estel look!" Legolas said as he pointed over to the author. Estel on the other hand, grabbed Legolas, as he tried to tell him who his original creator was, but Legolas did not listen. Legolas grinned, though. "But I can see our names in it...oh, Estel…" he said despairingly. Estel poked Legolas, and said in rough voice "We belong to Tolkien; she only owns the plot, and the right to torture us, nothing else!"

Spoiler: Total AU.

Summary: After a year, Legolas comes back to Imladris, only to find a horror and a new game that might be the end of all.

Note: Estel's age are 8, and Legolas's age is 12 and only an elfling compared to the other elves.

Note2: A game I used to play in my child-days. Was meant for Teitho Challenge at MC group, but as Legolas said to Aragorn, and I quote "Le ab-dollen" – 'You're late', so am I…blame RL.

Legolas stepped outside, scanning the area before he made another move.

When he did not see Estel, he walked very slowly, for he did not want Estel to scare him to death, as he did Elrohir. It had been such a horror scene, except to Estel, who thought it was funny.

Legolas remembered it as if were yesterday. He did not know how long it had taken for Elrohir to come back, for he was afraid of the human boy, and barely came close to him in his fear.

But it had been a long time since he had seen them. A year passed by, as one matter chased another as he helped his Adar duties of the kingdom, saving it from darkness.


He walked through the garden, and saw how it had changed. He saw the blooming of the flowers that he had helped to plant; seeing them in their growth, he could feel his heart pounding strong and faster. He came forward and knelt beside the flowers, stroking the leaves gently.

"Legolas, is that you?" he heard a familiar voice call for him.

"He has long blonde hair, and green garments...Yes, brother, I do believe that this is our dear friend, Legolas," Elladan said.

At that point, Legolas rose, and looked back to the twins, still standing as statues.

"Is Estel around?" Legolas asked in fear.

"Hmm no right now, but I do believe that you will see him soon, very soon…" Elladan said to him.

"We are too late, brother," Elrohir said. Elladan could see his brother's lips trembling, as he said, "He is in here…"

"Where should I hide?" Legolas asked.

"I thought you knew already, that there is no safe place to hide anymore, as Estel knows them all," Elrohir said in defeat.

"Oh…there you are, now you are the ones that are standing…" Estel said to the twins, but then he noticed Legolas, who was gripping Elrohir's arm, seemingly trying to hide from him.

"Legolas, is that you mellon-nin?" Estel asked cunningly.

"No, it is Glorfindel," Legolas smirked at him.

Estel jumped at him; he seemed to have missed their friendship. "I missed you, my friend!"

"I missed you too, Estel, though I wish to know something," Legolas replied.

"What to you wish to know?" Estel asked in curiosity.

"Why are the twins standing like statues?"

"You really want to know?" Estel asked.

Legolas nodded. The twins were behind Estel and tried to tell Legolas not to do it, but Legolas did not seem to understand what they were saying, or at least what they tried to say.

Elladan took his brother's arm and led him over the green grass, grinning at him. "Sit, brother; we are going to see the end of Greenleaf…"

"Poor Legolas," Elrohir said in fear, still holding his brother's armed; the game was ready to begin.

End of Chapter 2.
