CHAPTER FOUR

After the twins unscheduled visit Elrond desided to allow Legolas a little more freedom of movement. Hoping it would ease the curiosity of his people about the elf.

The very next morning he announced that Legolas could wander the main libraries of the house and walk in the gardens. Though he must not enter the kitchens or go anywhere near the stables outside. As an after thought he also forbid going into the forest.

It was left to Galen to show him where the libraries were and then point him in the direct of the gardens. Legolas felt extremely strange walking about on his own. He was aware of the curiosity all around him.

The gardens were beautiful there were so many flowers and shrubs. Though it was the trees he longed for most. A large old oak called out to him and he looked up into its lush green foliage.

Instinctively he reached out to the oak climbing up its branches higher and higher. He came to rest on a sturdy branch near the top. He straddled it and leant his back against the trees trunk. The strength of the mighty oak seeped into him.

The ancient bond between Wood Elves and the trees they live with already acknowledged between them. The tree sensed the pain and sadness deep within Legolas and tried to sooth him. But only partly succeded as the fair creature resting in its branches sighed quietly.

“What is he doing up there ?” a female voice rang out interrupting the peace Legolas was enjoying.

“How would I know” her male companion replied “Wood Elves are odd at the best of times.”

She giggled, “Really odd if all the rumours are true” then at last they left holding hands.

Legolas shuck his head whether he was odd or not. He certainly wasn’t deaf as they apparently thought he was. Had the Rivendell elves lost all contact with the essence of nature so easily and with so little regard. Buried in their books in a frantic seach for knowledge ?

In easy movements Legolas swung down to the ground and continued exploring. Each tree he discovered was a joy and they welcomed him knowing he belonged to them in away the Rivendell elves never would.

Then he came upon a sickly sad looking sapling, “Have they given up on you my friend ?” The young trees trunk had strips of bark missing gently Legolas placed his hands over the wounds. Sinking to his knees and with his eyes closed he prayed to the Lady.

A surge of healing power came from within him and he felt the saplings wounds close and its whole being strengthen. Becoming aware again he pulled back with a last gentle brush of his fingers against the now healthy bark.

He noticed the noise first and sprang to his feet. A crowd of inquisitive elves were staring at him and whispering among themselves. Panic was beginning to set in when he could see no escape except to walk through them.

Then suddenly the crowd parted to allow two familiar elves to walk up to him. Being rescued by Elrond’s twins surprised him and didn’t necessarily reassure him either.

Once they got him far away from the other elves. The one that seemed the most dominant and turned out to be Elladan said, “I told you we would be back.”

The look Legolas give him made Elladan grin, “We are not complete monsters.”

Legolas had the insane urge to ask which piece was missing and snapped his mouth shut.

“So Legolas are you that innocent ?” the still grinning Elladan asked.

“I am whatever your father wishes me to be” replied the blond evading the question.

It was then that Elrohir broke into the conversation, “You have no reason to fear us Legolas we are the least likely to try and hurt you.”

“Our Father deserves to be happy..”
“Since Mother was murdered…”
“He has been so alone..”
“When you were delivered…”
“Into his hands..”
“The shadows left his eyes…”
“He started living again..”
“You make him happy…”
“For that alone..”
“ You have…”
“Our protection..”
“And gratitude…”

It spooked Legolas a little the way they so easily slipped into speaking as if they were one person. Elladan looked at him , “We will take you to father so you can tell him of your gift before someone else does.”

Then almost sweeping Legolas off his feet they marched him back to the house and to there fathers work study. Bursting through the door dragging the struggling blond with them.

“I’m not allowed….” His voice trailed off as he was confronted by not only Elrond and Erestor but a golden feline of an elf. They were standing round a table that was covered by a large map of mirkwood.

Elrond frowned at the interruption his eyes resting on the three young elves. Before Legolas could say a word Elladan blurted out, “He has the gift of healing Father.”

Now Elrond solely looked at his slave, “You are a healer ? Why didn’t you tell me ?” He didn’t seem angry not even concerned just a little disappointed. A feeling of shame and confusion washed over Legolas.

“I’m not really I can only heal trees, animals” he shrugged his shoulders, “and then only when the Lady allows it.” He did not mention that Elrond had never asked before if he had any talents.

“You can heal animals ?” His Lord pondered.

Legolas repeated, “As the…..”

Elrond broke in, “Lady allows it, it is the same with all healers Legolas. “ During the short conversation Erestor had removed the map from the table rolled it up and put it away.

For the first time the golden one spoke, “You got bargain there, Elrond”

“So it would appear, Glorfindel.” The Lord of Rivendell at last smiled.
