/ are thoughts/

Aragorn wept over the lifeless body, “Why? Why did you leave me,” he screamed aloud. Legolas could no longer stand there idly and sought to comfort his friend.

“My friend, she would not have you weep over her so. You have to come out of this room, you have to let her go,” Legolas said as he rested his hand on Aragorn’s shoulder.

“What would you know, “ he questioned in a icy tone and shrugged Legolas’ hand off his shoulder.

“I know that Gondor needs its King back, you need to attend to your duties. The people of Gondor need you. You have grieved enough, she would not have you linger on her so.”

Aragorn started to weep again, “I have no heir Legolas, what is the point? I will never love anyone has I have loved her. There is no she-elf that would capture me so.”

Legolas sighed, “I am sure you will find someone worthy for your cause Aragorn. Now if you will excuse me I have other matters to attend to. I hope to see you at dinner tonight, amongst your friends, your councils and your people.”

Aragorn gazed at the face of Arwen. There is no elf maiden as beautiful as you my love. Why did you leave me without an heir? The only person that equals you in your beauty is Legolas, nonetheless he cannot give me what I need. Aragorn’s eyes widen. Unless, no he would not be willing to, no he has to. I am the King, what I say goes. Aragorn stood up and kissed Arwen’s temple, “Farewell my love.”

Legolas sat next to an empty chair and sighed inwardly. He will never regain his composer. He was about to call for the food to be served when Aragorn entered the dinning hall and took his seat.

Legolas leaned in and whispered, “I am glad you are here my friend. I am glad you accepted her fate.”

Aragorn squeezed Legolas’ hand and smiled, “Indeed I have Legolas. You were right she wouldn’t have me grieve over her so. I need to speak with you after we eat Legolas, in private.”

“Of course Aragorn, you know that I am here for at all times.”

Aragorn grinned, “I know Legolas, I know. Now let us eat.”

After everyone’s bellies were content with food, Aragorn called the dinner to be done.

“Come Legolas, to my studies. There we can talk freely.”

Legolas nodded his head and complied, following Aragorn. Once they reached his study Legolas took seat in front of Aragorn’s desk. Were Aragorn was already comfortably seated.

“What is it you wish to talk about my friend?”

“I need an heir Legolas.”

Legolas raised an eyebrow, “so you want me to help find you a mate? There are many women in your own court that could provide an heir for you Aragorn.”

Aragorn shook his head, “No Legolas, I want my child to have Elven blood.”

“It would be difficult to find you a she-elf. Most of my kin left for the Undying Lands.”

“I know that Legolas. However, there is an elf right in front of me.”

Legolas started to laugh, “Aragorn I think your grief has driven you mad. I am male, I cannot provide an heir for Gondor.”

“I am not mad Legolas, there is a way. I can have my magician make me a fertile potion. You would carry my child Legolas, the heir of Gondor. What say you?”

Legolas’ eyes widen in shock, “You are asking me to lay with you and conceive your child by unnatural means?”

“You said you would do anything to make things right when Arwen died Legolas. This will make it right,” Aragorn said as he got up from his chair and kneeled in front of Legolas, “What say you?”

Legolas shook his head, “No. This is mad. I will not be a part of it.”

Aragorn took a hold of Legolas’ hand and squeezed it pleadingly, “Legolas, please I beg you. For me. For Gondor!”

Legolas freed his hand from Aragorn, “I said no! I will not be a part of your mad plans,” Legolas got up from his seat and went for the door.

“Guards!”

Legolas turned around in shock at Aragorn. /Did he actually call the guards on me?/ Two guards came from the door.

“Yes my lord, “ they both questioned in union.

“Take Legolas to the dungeons. He disobeyed an order from the King.”

“Aragorn, call these guards off. I do not want to hurt them. I do not want to hurt you. Your grief has driven you insane. Do you realize what you are doing?”

Aragorn nodded his head and Legolas was knocked unconscious by both the guards.

“Take him to the dungeon my lord?”

“Yes, put him in the cell with no light.”

“Yes my lord.”

“Oh and also have the magician bring me the fertile potion.”

“Yes my lord.”
