| Ah yes, of course. Destiny’s Child is very good, and I will not mind you not adding to this less because you are adding to that. I sound like Gandalf. :) Best writing and farewell, —Fimbrethil. | |

| My first review: “the end” as in I liked the end of the chapter. Legolas finds some peace. | |

| He muttered to himself, “Saruman always did tell me that my plots within plots would come to a muddle of unexpected consequences.” LOL. “Legolas then unfolded his heart to his old friend, haltingly at first, but then the story began to flow and before long Gandalf could understand how the recent events were shaping Legolas’ soul.” So he tells Gandalf! Good! “…unsure of how he felt about this Elf Lord and unsettled by the fact that he did not immediately dislike him as a dutiful son of Thranduil should.” Aha conversing with Elrond! Good! also heehee at the wording. “Very interesting. He is his father’s son, there is no doubt about that, but I sense he will be far more that, far more than he realizes.” Indeed. More please??? | |

| You know who else is zealously protective? Denethor and possibly Gloin. And then Legolas talks to Aragorn before Elrond! I don’t remember if those two and Gandalf already knew about Gollum’s escape; I guess I will have to go look it up. But Aragorn waits outside? I would have gone with Legolas. “Well, that was all terribly formal now, wasn’t it?” Erthion looked at Legolas as they were walking to the falls where they had agreed to meet Aragorn. Legolas laughed self-consciously. “That was, wasn’t it? I don’t know what came over me.” “Don’t you?” Vivelle stated. “You are your Adar’s son. Haven’t you ever noticed at audiences he slips into deep formality when asked an uncomfortable question or dealing with those who trouble him?” Legolas stopped and stared at Vivelle. “I suppose I must have noticed but I had never realized that until now.” “You are your Adar’s son… and,” Vivelle continued, “there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.” hmmmm…I have a question, actually: Are they speaking Sindarin? Right but he didn’t tell Aragorn before. Oh dear, hope all the family relations can be solved soon. Including Elrond and Aragorn, heehee. | |

| Elladan! Elrohir!” Legolas shouted with joy greeting the twin sons of Elrond. He had forged a bond with these two long ago when the twins were sent on embassies to Thranduil.” I knew it! Of corse they are friends! “They settled in around the campfire and Legolas revealed to the twin sons of Elrond what had become of Gollum and his unknown fate. Legolas did not stint on what he deemed his fault in this whole affair.” So Legolas tells the Twins first, after several goo delaying tactics, if I may say so. “Mithrandir came to us a few days ago to tell us what has been set in motion. Glorfindel has been sent west to seek Aragorn and we have been dispatched to Lothlorien. We go to seek an audience with Grandmama and Grandpapa to inform them of the happenings afoot and to seek their counsel in these matters. Adar says that knowledge is most important at this time. He senses that events move towards resolution, one way or another.” Ah yes. If I may, I believe the correct Elvish names are Daernana and Daerada. “He was becoming more like his father every day. She worried that his joy would leave him, and he would be forever changed.” Hmmm…I am afraid he will be, but he will have Aragorn, and Gimli. And later Faramir, and other fiends. And their children:) And Erthion saw an expression cross Legolas’ face that could only be described as Thranduil at his most supercilious, but it almost immediately left and Legolas’ earnest and open look returned to inhabit his princely features once more. Almost as if Legolas had read his mind, he smiled sheepishly and said in an abashed away, “I really sounded like Adar just now, didn’t I?” Erthion shrugged and shared the smile. “Just a bit.” Legolas laughed in a self-conscious way. “Who knew I was listening all these centuries?” hmmmho Imminent reckoning indeed, wow. | |

| I never expected the Beornings! I wonder what Gloin…and Bilbo…will think if they find out about this! Gandalf is presumably happy to see them working together. If he knew. “Legolas smiled and wondered if Thranduil realized what loyalty and respect he had in this man. If he did not, Legolas would be sure to tell him when he returned from this errand.“ I hope he remembers to tell. Maybe they visit on the way back. Oh! the end! | |

| Legolas stated, “It is almost first light, we should break camp and depart. When we return I must tell Sadron the ill news that the Spiders have taken to crossing the Old Forest Road. Before they had not, but now…This is most worrying.” If he won’t tell Sadron until then I think Sadron will have found out by then. “Brother!” Legolas scoffed, “I will return as quickly as I may. I will go to Imladris and inform Lord Elrond of what has happened and then return just as quickly. There will be perils, but I know I will be able to handle whatever comes my way,” Legolas spoke with all the innocent fervor of the young and sheltered.” Indeed, nothing will be quick about the journey from Imladris to Rauros, then after that it is still another 6 months or so before he leaves Gondor. | |

| Thranduil murmured, “I always wondered which of my sons would be cursed with your Naneth’s ‘gift’ of the Sight.” He looked at Celebren quickly to see a shocked look on his face. “I never knew that Naneth had the Sight.” “Yes, well. I did not realize that Sadron knew,” Thranduil continued in a chagrinned voice. “It was never something she was comfortable with. She did not speak of it often and hoped it would not pass to any of you. But apparently it did. Please continue.” hheheh. But Thranduil knows where he is going. And you know…maybe word gets sent to him by someone in Elrond’s house that Legolas arrived and is joining the Fellowship. Or his three friends go back and say so. His mother has ceryainly found a good time to start giving him visions. | |

| There is certainly more to this journey. Of course Sadron would ask the other three to keep an eye on Legolas! How does he get to Rivendell, anyway? Over the Mountains? | |

| Hmmm. Their lives will definitely be changed. So that is how Legolas decides to go! Most of the stories I have read about him he has been there before and is friends with the Twins and Arwen. So that he hasn’t been there is interesting, but makes sense for this story. | |
