Sorry for not posting last week. It's been hard thinking of ideas to write for adventures and stuff they do all day. I don't own Lotr at all.
Day Six
Today, Legolas was not awake by the time everyone was ready to go.
"Let him sleep. We will have breakfast," Aragorn said. He fought to hide a smile at Gandalf's hat. They all went to the kitchens, all of them occasionally glancing at Gandalf's hat, he didn't notice as he was leading the way.
"Naomi. Can we have some food?" Gandalf asked her. She glanced up, smiled and nodded. They were almost done eating when Legolas came down.
Gandalf was beginning to notice the glances and smiles and he looked at Merry and Pippin, who looked extremely proud of themselves.
He took off his hat and stared. On his hat was a bright crown made of flowers. They all heard a musical sound coming from the doorway and turned around. Legolas had come down and saw Gandalf's hat. They stared. They had never heard an elf laugh before and it sounded musical. Gandalf started to laugh, if it was funny enough to make Legolas laugh then he shouldn't ruin it by yelling. They calmed down a little bit after, but they were happy to see Legolas so happy.
It's a line break! I love what should happen next! The line breaks done!
"Legolas," An elf came running towards us, "your father wishes to see you and your friends,"
"We'll go now," the elf looked towards the others pity on his face before running off.
"Who is your father?" Merry asked.
"Thranduil. The king of Mirkwood," Legolas looked straight ahead.
"You're a prince!" The hobbits and Gimli exclaimed.
"Yes. Do not bait my father," they stopped in front a door, "he lost a lot and he hasn't been the same to dwarfs. Do not do anything that could make him want to kill you," Legolas looked at Gimli urgently.
"I won't. And them," he pointed to the rest.
"He likes Gandalf, he won't hurt Aragorn and he has never met hobbits," he knocked on the door.
"Come in," a voice called.
"Ada," Legolas looked at the ground as he came in.
"A dwarf!" The king leapt to his feet and grabbed a sword. Legolas pulled out his knives and stopped him from beheading Gimli.
"I know he is a dwarf," Legolas calmly said.
"Explain," he growled at Legolas.
"This is Gimli. He is a dwarf who I owe my life to, and he is my friend," that made the king hesitate.
"Get out of my sight," he coldly said and turned his back on them, sitting down at his desk. "Legolas?" Legolas stilled tensing, but not turning around.
"Yes, Ada?"
"Come here after supper. I need to speak to you alone,"
They left, glancing at Legolas occasionally who had a complete blank face on.
"Legolas? Are you okay?" Merry asked hesitantly.
"I'm fine. That went better than expected," Legolas turned and smiled at them. "Would you like to go to the meadow or the waterfall?"
"Waterfall," the hobbits said immediately.
They started on their way. Gandalf left to meet with his other friends. Once there, Legolas started to look less tense and he pushed Aragorn into the water. Merry and Pippin decided to do that to the other and in the end, they both went in. Aragorn got out while Legolas was watching the hobbits and snaked an arm around Legolas' waist, putting them both in the water. During this, Gimli left to explore the woods.
They all took turns dunking each other and splashing, having as much fun as they could. Thy did this past lunch and didn't realize it until Pippin's stomach growled.
"Let's get some food. It is past lunch," Legolas told them.
"Gimli?" Aragorn called.
"Perhaps he went back to the palace," Pippin suggested.
"We can look. If he's not there, I'll come back and find him," Legolas told Aragorn who didn't like the idea of leaving Gimli here if he was here.
They went back and ate a smaller lunch than usual as it was almost supper. Gimli was there. He was laying on the bed, snoring. Until supper, they decided to relax and read or draw.
Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break.
After supper, Legolas went back to his father as he had been told to. The others were worried for Legolas and couldn't concentrate on anything.
"Why is the king so rude?" Pippin asked.
"Because he has reasons to hate dwarfs," Aragorn said shortly glancing at Gimli.
"Why does he hate dwarfs?" He persisted.
"It is not my story to tell," Legolas came back shortly. He was smiling.
"Why are you so happy?" Aragorn asked suspiciously.
"You will have to wait until tomorrow. It will happen after lunch," Legolas answered without answering.
They stayed awake, just talking, a while longer before falling asleep.
