Chapter3: Do Not Leave Me Alone with Him!
Legolas wondered where he went wrong with him. Gimli was his friend. Why did his father not see it?
"What have I done?" Legolas spoke quietly.
"Let me answer your question for you, my son," Thranduil stared at him, before he continued, "First, you bring him," he pointed toward Gimli. "Second, why did you ever think to bring your enemy to our home in the first place?"
"Do you not see it adar?" Legolas asked, feeling unbearable frustration and rage that was near to bursting. .
"What should I see?" Thranduil asked his son.
"How can you be so narrow mind?" Legolas almost shouted at his father, as he walked to him, facing him.
"Do not talk to me like that!" Thranduil demanded of his son.
Legolas turned to face his friend, and Gimli saw that the anger had overcome him; and knew that he was going to leave him alone with the king before he lost control.
"I am sorry, my friend. I thought that my father would understand, but instead I was wrong."
With that, Legolas walked out of the room; even though he could hear his father calling for him, and asking for him; it seemed more like demanding to Legolas. "Do not leave me alone with him!"
"I should put you in the dungeon as I put your father," Thranduil told him, seeing the dwarf wince.
"I know how my father got away. He told me the secret of his escape from your known dungeon." Gimli mocked the king.
"What should I do with you?" Thranduil asked him.
"Learn to live peacefully with other races?" Gimli asked the king.
"And why in the name of the Valar would I want to do that?" The king asked him.
"Have you looked at your son, lately; and seen how he really feels?" Gimli stared at the king, hoping to see something beneath the king's mask.
Thranduil thought of what had occurred as his son and the dwarf had noticed the protectiveness that his son showed to Gimli, and the happiness he shared with the dwarf when he was in his company.
"You are right; but you have to get him here so I can tell him myself." Thranduil told him.
"I will do so, King Thranduil." Gimli nodded, and was pleased with himself.
Once the dwarf left the cave, the guards came toward the king.
"Kill him! I have no idea what my son has been thinking of, bringing our greatest enemy to our homeland." Thranduil ordered his guards.
