"WHAT?" Elrond shouted, before ordering, "Call Legolas’ guards in!"

Glorfindel nodded and left. A short time later he returned with the guards.

Elrond scanned the worried faces of the guards. They stared back at him in fear, afraid that something might have happened to their prince.

"Your prince was seen riding away from Imladris, alone, by Lord Glorfindel," he said. There was confusion now on the guards’ faces. Elrond looked at them sympathetically before saying, "Get your horses ready; we must leave for Mirkwood by nightfall."

"Yes, my lord," the guards said, and left the lords alone.

Elrond turned to Glorfindel. Tears were falling down his cheeks. "Find Erestor and my sons. We have to get ready for a long journey. I can only hope that Legolas had not gone too far.” He turned to leave, but then stopped to look at the warrior. “Oh, and Glorfindel, I want you to run Imladris while I am gone. I know you will keep my kingdom safe," Elrond said.

"Yes, my lord," Glorfindel said, and left, smiling to himself. As he went to find Erestor and the twins, all the while he kept thinking, 'I will rule his kingdom, I am the ruler…' He could not stop smiling.

Elrond sat at his table and began to write a message to Thranduil. He was not looking forward to it. Elrond knew how stubborn and protective Thranduil could be. He wondered how Thranduil would react if he found out that Elrond loved his son. He hoped that the king would approve and let him have the chance to get closer to Legolas.

Once he had finished writing, he called over the messenger and gave him the parchment before sending him away.

Glorfindel found Erestor and the twins on the bridge.

They scanned the warrior’s face, wondering what it was that had put a smile on his face.

"Glorfindel what are you so happy about?" Erestor asked.

"I am to run Imladris while Elrond searches for Legolas," he said.

"What?" they asked in one voice.

"Yes, after you leave… your father told me to keep his kingdom safe, and that is what I will do!"

"When do we leave? Tell us from the beginning!" the advisor asked.

"Elrond asked me to come and find you. He will explain everything…" Glorfindel said, but he was not able to complete his sentence. He could only watch as they raced away to see Elrond.

"Father?" Elladan called as they arrived at Elrond’s room.

Elrond up looked as they all came in.

"Why are we leaving? Has something happened?" Elrohir was the one to ask questions now.

"Let me start by saying that Prince Legolas has left…" Elrond began before he was cut off.

"LEFT?" they all asked at once.

"Yes, and Glorfindel was the one that saw him leave."

"So, is that why we are leaving, my lord?" Erestor asked.

Elrond nodded.

"Ready your horses and your weapons, because we have a long journey. We do not know how far ahead Legolas is; with hope he can not have gone too far."

"Even me, my lord?" Erestor asked. "Should I not stay here and make sure that Lord Glorfindel does not fool around?"

"No, you are coming with us. Glorfindel is quite capable of running Imladris; he does not ‘fool around’ as you put it," Elrond said, staring at his advisor. Erestor turned his head away, feeling uncomfortable.

"But why my lord?" Erestor asked after a moment, looking back at Elrond again.

"I need my advisor there to advise me and to make sure I do not lose control."

"Yes, my lord," Erestor said.

"As soon as it is dusk, we leave," Elrond said.

"Yes, father," the twins said and left, Erestor following them.

Legolas wept as he left Imladris. He was riding as fast as he could, the tears rolling down his cheeks.

'Why did you send me there, adar? I only cause them pain…' Legolas thought. His heart and mind seemed to be covered with shadows and ice.

'Erestor was right, every time I go there I ruin their lives,’ he thought.

Legolas rode and rode, his mind elsewhere. He was so lost in his thoughts that he was totally unaware of the orcs until all of a sudden his horse screamed, struck by arrows. He quickly jumped to the ground as his horse fell, but before he had a chance to do anything, he was surrounded.

That evening in Imladris…

Elrond left his chamber and walked to the stable. His horse was saddled, and was standing waiting patiently for his master. After stroking his horse’s nose briefly, Elrond mounted and rode towards the courtyard where the others were. When he arrived there he saw they were already mounted, eager to be off and begin their search for Prince Legolas.

Lord Glorfindel stood and watched as Elrond arrived. "I hope you will find him soon, and come back with one piece," he said.

"Thank you my friend," Elrond said. He turned to the others and said, "Let us ride now." He started to lead the group out of Imladris.

They set a fast pace, wanting to find the prince as quickly as possible.

Elrond hoped in his heart that nothing had happened to the prince.

'I hope nothing has happened to you meleth-e-guilen,' Elrond thought in fear.
