Chapter 5 - Think
I sat under the huge Elven tree to rest my complicated mind. Did I make a mistake of going to the sea? I know the danger there but still I insisted in going. There is something inside me telling me to go there. I looked at Bright who was grazing the grass. I gave him a smile. Bright is always happy. He did not know about sadness as I could see it in his eyes. I would keep him company with other horses in the stable. I did not want to see Arwen and Aragon quarrel because of me, because of my wish to go to the sea. The sun is setting and soon darkness fell but I did not feel like going home. I jumped down the tree and went to Bright. I stroked his soft fur.
"Bright, I am sorry if I burdened you so much. I would like to stay here for a night."
I stroked him again and took my bow from the saddle on him. I stroked him again and gave him a hug. Then, I climbed up the tree and rest. I will go home tomorrow morning. I held onto my Elven cloak and fell asleep in the cold night.
"Aragon, listen to me. Legolas needs you during the adventure. You have to go with him. Will you promise me that you will go?"
"But, what if…"
"Aragon, I have trusted you so much. Even though you are a man but who knows you can make a change and I know your friendship with Legolas. You can be able to help him. You have to go."said Arwen well putting her hands on his cheeks
After the discussion ends, Thranduil was shocked to hear that his son might die during his own adventure. He wanted to band his son from going but he could not break his promise. He told Elrond about his promise to his son. Elrond said if Legolas is determine and had precaution, he might get injuries. Thranduil knew that his son had learned a lot during the fellowship and had grew more wiser. He is afraid that he will lose his beloved son but when he thought of the promise they made he finally agree to let him go. He had already grown up and that he could not stop him either. He led Elrond to the guest room next to Legolas's room to have a rest. Elrod bid goodnight and shut the door. Thranduil decided to discuss with his son. He gave a soft knock on his door but there was no reply. Thinking that his son had fallen asleep, he went back to his room for some rest.
The next morning, I could hear the birds chirping and singing. I got up and climbed down the tree not forgetting my bow. Bright had been awake and was waiting for me. I rubbed his cheeks and gave him a kiss. I climbed onto Bright and stroked his fur.
"Noro lim, Bright! Noro lim!" which means ride fast
I was not at home for a day and I did not know what had happened but I really hope that things had gone better.
