In the early days of the Third Age, darkness loomed over Middle-earth. King Thranduil of Mirkwood, burdened by the growing threat of Dol Guldur and the increasing power of the spiders within his forest, sought counsel and aid from the wise Lord Elrond in Rivendell. Accompanied by his son Legolas and a contingent of loyal soldiers, Thranduil arrived at the grand halls of Rivendell.
Thranduil: (in Elvish greeting) "Namárië, Lord Elrond. I come seeking your counsel and the alliance of Rivendell."
Elrond: (in Elvish greeting) "Mae Govannen, King Thranduil. Your presence is most welcome. Please, come inside and let us discuss the pressing matters at hand."
As pleasantries were exchanged, Lord Elrond's sharp eyes caught sight of a golden-haired elfling peeking out from behind Thranduil's regal robes.
Elrond: (smiling) "My dear Thranduil, it appears you've brought an unexpected guest. Pray tell, who is this little one?"
Thranduil: (looking down, patting Legolas' head) "Ah, forgive his shyness. This is my son, Legolas. Legolas, come forward and greet Lord Elrond and his family."
Legolas: (reluctantly stepping forward, face still buried) "Mae Govannen, Lord Elrond."
Elrond's wife, Celebrain, knelt down to meet Legolas at eye level, her gentle smile melting away the elfling's shyness. She greeted him warmly and introduced her teenage children, Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen, who had gathered around her. The siblings' fondness for the elfling was evident, as they seemed enchanted by his presence and eager to spoil him.
Celebrain: (softly) "Welcome, young Legolas. It is a pleasure to have you here with us. My children have been looking forward to meeting you."
Legolas: (peeking up, his face lighting up) "Thank you, Lady Celebrain. It is an honor to be in your presence."
Elladan: (grinning) "Legolas, you're a lucky elfling. We'll show you all the wonders of Rivendell!"
Elrohir: (excitedly) "Indeed! We'll have adventures together, I promise!"
Arwen: (smiling gently) "Legolas, it's lovely to meet you. We'll be great friends, I'm certain of it."
Erestor: (surprised by Legolas' bright expression) "Well, well, an elfling with such a calm and pure aura. You have captured our hearts, young Legolas."
Glorfindel: (with delight) "Legolas, my young friend! I can already tell we'll have many grand adventures together. Prepare for fun and mischief!"
Observing his son's reactions, Thranduil's heart swelled with affection and gratitude toward Lord Elrond and his family. He acknowledged the risks of bringing Legolas to Rivendell but emphasized that he couldn't leave his young son unprotected in Mirkwood.
Thranduil: (with gratitude) "Lord Elrond, I am truly grateful for your warm welcome. I understand the risks of bringing an elfling to Rivendell, but the safety of my son is of utmost importance to me."
Elrond: (reassuringly) "Fear not, Thranduil. In Rivendell, your son shall be under our care and protection. It has been too long since the halls of Imladris echoed with the laughter of children. We are honored to have Legolas with us."
With the invitation extended, Thranduil and his company gratefully accepted the hospitality of Rivendell, entering the majestic home of Lord Elrond and leaving behind the shadows that plagued Mirkwood.
