Setting priorities

Legolas' chamber was huge, but he was used to it, but still he hated it! He finds large rooms cold and distant. When you walk into his chamber, here in Minas-Tirith, you have on your left 4 wardrobes. On your right there's the door towards the bathroom, which is covered in gold. In the middle you have a table made out of wood, with writings on it from the first Era of Middle- Earth. Next to the door, to go to the balcony, there is the four- poster bed, with curtains hanging beside of it. And all the walls in the room are covered with paintings of all possible places of Middle-Earth.

Legolas was still sitting on his bed, with his hand clenched at his heart.

/It hurts. But if this makes Estel happy , then I do not care about the pain.

I remember the day that we came home from the quest and Arwen was waiting for Aragorn to arrive. From the minute they saw each other, they pulled one another in a fierce hug. This lasted for a couple of minutes and then they parted with a kiss. At that moment, I felt my heart shatter piece, by piece.

I know that we’ve never discussed our future together.

Would Aragorn tell Arwen about our relationship?

Would he brake up with Arwen?

Would he tell her, that he loved me more ? .

Well, now I know. Apparently, he just used me as a toy, a thing for his own pleasure, to keep him happy./

FLASHBACK

" Legolas, can I talk to you?

"Yes, of course Estel, what troubles you?"

"I have to tell you something. about us and our relationship." He said softly

Legolas nodded quietly and followed Aragorn, he knew that this was the moment of truth, Or he would be the happiest elf alive, or he would fade away.

They walked into Aragorn's room and took place on the edge of the bed. Aragorn took a deep breath and then, the words came out.

"Legolas, I don't love you, I never did"

sie wae was in the room.

" I used you on our journey, I just needed someone to get me through those hard days, someone who could keep me pleased. I'm sorry, but I can't lie anymore."

Legolas sat there, motionless. He stared blankly ahead, trying to figure out what the man just had said to him, but what he didn't notice were the tears that were well hidden in Aragorn’s eyes.

Aragorn loved the elf, with his entire heart, but it was impossible for the two to be together, his people would never accept it.


One because he's from Mirkwood, which every-one hates including the elves from Rivendell. Second, because he's a man and third, because Legolas can't provide Minas-Tirith with an heir.

LEGOLAS' POV

Now I have no place to go. My father has declared that he doesn't have a son anymore and has banned me out of Mirkwood, because of my love towards Estel,

Lord Elrond hates me , for the fact that I almost separated Estel and his daughter ,

the people of Minas-Tirith hate me too, for that same reason.

I gave up everything for him and now he abandons me. There's nothing left on this Earth for me, I'm just a superfluous being on this crowded land, but not for long. From the moment Aragorn told me he never loved me, I knew that my days here were counted. Tomorrow, after his wedding I will leave Minas-Tirith and go into the wild nature.

There I will pass the last minutes of my life.

Alone I will fade.

No, not alone. The trees, my only friends, will be there with me. Legolas pulled himself under the covers of his bed and went back to sleep.

Dawn would soon arrive.
