Legolas rode until he felt his eyes droop into the elven sleep, and he let his head fall on his chest.
Soon, Arod stopped. Sensing that his horse had stopped moving, Legolas woke briefly and dismounted before lying down in the soft grass and falling asleep again. Arod stayed close, guarding Legolas and allowing his master some rest.
Gondor… the next morning…
Lady Éowyn followed her lady who spoke only good things of Legolas.
"Look what grace Legolas had as he looked at Aragorn with pride…sometimes I want to hug him tight and kiss him on his cheeks, for everything that he has done. He has risked his life more than once…" Arwen mumbled to her maiden.
Éowyn watched as her lady sat in front of her mirror, remembering the conversation with her husband the night before…
"I saw our prince and lord ride away from Gondor," Faramir said as he took off his cloak and laid it on the chair.
"So soon?" she asked her husband.
She wondered what it was that made Legolas leave, as he obviously had not told anyone. There must be something amiss for him to leave like that…
Faramir nodded, saying the words that were on his mind, "I hope that nothing has happened between the prince and our king…"
"I hope so too, my love…" Éowyn said and embraced her husband, feeling the warmth between them.
"My lady?" Éowyn called to Arwen.
"What is it?" Arwen asked softly.
"Faramir saw Prince Legolas leaving last night," Éowyn said.
"What? Find my husband and tell him exactly the same thing that you told me…" Arwen ordered her.
Éowyn left the room and went in search for her lord. Upon asking one of the guards, she was told he was last seen in the garden.
She went out into the garden only to see Aragorn pacing. He seemed anxious.
"My lord?" She went towards him.
Aragorn turned to her; she could see in his eyes that there was something wrong. Did it have something to do with Legolas?
"What is it, Éowyn?" Aragorn asked her.
His voice sounded like thunder, loud and frightening. Something definitely must have happened to cause her lord to speak like this.
She decided to get right to the point. "Faramir saw the prince leave last night…"
"WHAT?" Aragorn shouted at her.
Éowyn stared at him in shock. "What is it my lord? From your wife, I understood that this was important, but I did not realise how much…" she replied quietly.
"Prince Legolas left without me… something has happened in his kingdom…" Aragorn said, and added, "His father is dying, and he asked that Legolas see him before he dies…"
"My lord?" Éowyn asked.
Aragorn looked at her.
"Then I suggest that you follow him, my lord. He needs his best friend to be with him," she said.
"I know, and I told him I would join him, but he obviously did not want to wait. I should be with him right now… if only he trusted me…"
"I think that he does trust you, but his father… he might have feared that the worst had already happened," Éowyn suggested.
"Thank you for your wise words, my lady. I will leave as soon as I possibly can," Aragorn told her, and went back inside.
End of Chapter 2.
