Concerning Letters

Birds were singing and the trees were whispering to each other, 'cause today would be the day that King Elessar and the fair lady Arwen wed.

A ray of sunlight shimmered through the open window on Aragorn's face. The effect of the light made him shift and turn in his bed and eventually woke him.
/hmm, what?../ houghought startled.
/Oh, yes, today is my wedding day. I will wed the eveningstar . In a few hours I will be bound to her, until the end of times/ He sighed.

/It's not that I don't love her, because I do! but only as a sister! The only person that really holds my heart is Legolas, but I cannot tell him that, it would endanger our friendship and our lives! It was the right thing to say, that I did not love him, wasn't it ?

Suddenly someone knocked at the door.

"Yes come in" Aragorn called.


One of his servants walked into the room. "Sorry for waking you my Lord, but it is time to get you dressed for your wedding. I've already ordered the others, that they should bring you your breakfast to your room! Oh and your proper clothes are hanging in the bathroom, my Lord" "Thank you Silmar" Aragorn replied. The servant bowed his head, out respect, and left the room again.

Aragorn climbed out of bed and walked into his bathroom, turned on the water and stuck his head under the stream of cold water. Now that he was fully awake, he looked at himself in the mirror and said: "Come on Aragorn, you can do this! She gave her immortality up, just to be with you, you cannot abandon her now! Besides, Legolas will get over what you've said, he's a strong elf!

All you have to do is say I do!

He had to discourage himself about the whole Legolas thing, otherwise he would not live this day through. He started to put on his clothes and making himself ready for the wedding.

Legolas was already awake by this time. He was thinking of all the years he had spent with Estel, their many adventures and journeys.

/We were inseparable as children and throughout the years it never changed, until the day that Estel met Arwen at his 18th birthday. It was love at first sight, I could tell that by the look in their eyes. Jealousy crept up with me, I didn't even know that I had those feelings for Estel, but at that point it was rather obvious to me./

Legolas got torn out of his thought, by an immense pain in his chest, it felt like a 1000 knives were impaled in his heart. He stayed seated for a while, until the pain was fading a little, although it never fades entirely. Legolas got up from the balcony and walked into his room, straight to the mirror in the bathroom. What it revealed to him, wasn't a pretty sight. The elf looked pale and weary, like he had been fighting a thousand Uruk'hai.

He had no more then 3 days to live and he knew it.

Legolas POV

Middle-Earth will not miss me, I am sure of that. It is like my adar told me; I'm a huge mistake, a trouble to everyone, I do not deserve to live this life or to have these friends. Well actually friend , because besides Estel I have no-one anymore. And now he's leaving me too.

Yes everybody will be happy when I am dead.

But I can not leave this world without saying my goodbyes so I will write a letter to Estel and Ada.

-------


He grabbed some paper, a pencil and he started writing.

r Adr Ada,

I'm sorry for all the shame that I brought upon our family, it was never my intention. I know that I've hurt you deeply, especially when I told you of my love towards Estel, but you must know that, even when you have banned me out of Mirkwood and disowned me, I still love and respect you Ada.

you were right ; I do not deserve your love or your Kingdom, but do not worry, because by the time you read this, I will be dead. I will have brought pleasure to whole Middle-Earth, Because I will be no longer here to spoil your lives!

I will always love you Ada.

Naamarie;

Legolas.

He folded the paper and put it in an envelope , on the front he wrote " To my honourable father, King Thranduil "
