"Remember youth as you pass by,
As you was once, so once was I,
As I am now, you soon will be,
Prepare to die and follow me."

Brothers Under The Sun

Estel woke up and his happy smile formed into a groan when he opened his mouth. Pain laced up and down his arm, what had happened? He glanced around and saw the familiar walls and ceiling, he was in his room in Imladris.

"It's about time you woke up mellon nin." A familiar voice said. Estel looked over to where the voice came from and saw his best friend Legolas sitting there with a small smile on his face. Estel looked his friend over he had a bandage around his head and his left arm was in a sling. He was a little worn for the wear but it was better than the last he remembered.

"What happened? How long have I been out?" Estel asked his voice hoarse.

"You don't remember? We were attacked by a band of orcs. I fear that we had almost had it mellon. Both of us without weapons, good thing Elladan and Elrohir had been searching for us in that area and had heard the sounds of a fight. And as to how long you have been out well I just woke up yesterday so I would say about a week," Legolas explained.

"So we're finally home…" He sighed.

"Yes, thanks to your brothers. Without them all you did to save my life would have been a waste, which I haven't gotten to thank you for. Thank you Estel, you saved me," Legolas whispered. Estel smiled at him and then turned his gaze back up to the ceiling thinking of everything as it slowly came back to him and then his thoughts drifted to his dream.

"What are you thinking?" Legolas questioned.

"I had the weirdest dream of a large open land. And of watching the sky as the sun rose. I felt as if I was flying and I looked over and there you were. We were flying over the lands of Middle Earth, places I have never seen. We were together, nothing was wrong and there was nothing separating us. It was as if we were one. Just you, and me," Estel whispered recalling his dream.

I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I

"You don't understand Legolas! I can not be King! I'm not a King!" Estel yelled pacing in the garden of Imladris. After their last little adventure Elrond had felt it was time to tell Estel of his true heritage.

"You're right mellon nin," Legolas said in his quiet voice. Estel looked his best friend in the eyes, he had expected Legolas to try and persuade him to take his place as King of Men but he…wasn't. Legolas saw the surprise in his eyes. "I do not understand what it might feel like growing up here in Imladris all my life thinking I am just a human and then one day be told that I am the future king of Gondor. Or in my case being just a elf and then being told that I am the crown Prince of Mirkwood," Legolas explained with a smile. Estel came and sank into the grass beside the tree his friend was leaning against.

"So what do I do?" Estel questioned wanting to be told what to do.

"Have you ever felt out of place?" Legolas asked not looking down. Estel looked up at him not understanding.

"Legolas I'm sorry mellon nin but I do not follow you. Of course I have felt out of place here, wouldn't you?" Legolas didn't answer and did not look down at him. "I used to have dreams…of a voice calling for me…for me to return. For me to take my place. I never understood it until now. But if I go what will happen? To Lord Elrond, to Elladan, Elrohir and you? There are so many people I care about and if I leave I won't be able to protect any of you," Legolas finally looked down and his friend with a smile. He pulled out one of his white daggers and made a thin slash across the palm of his hand. Estel jumped up thinking his had gone crazy. "Legolas! What are you thinking?!" He demanded pulling out some bandages.

"Wait, let me see your hand," Legolas said holding out his injured hand to take Estel's and his dagger in the other. Estel searched his friend's eyes but at the calm demanding look he saw there he held out his hand. Legolas made a clean thin cut across Estel's palm and then pressed their hands together.

"I don't under…" Estel started.

"From this day on you will never be alone. From this day on we are no longer of two bloods, two races or two families. Our blood is the same and you are my brother. I will never allow anything to happen to you. From now on we are one under the sun," Legolas whispered almost to where Estel couldn't hear him.

Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always remember me
I am your brother - under the sun

Legolas treated Aragorn and everyone else's wounds before he even thought of himself. In the battle today they had lost many but the two friends had made sure to not get separated and if they were then they got as quickly as they could back to each other's side. In all the years he had known Aragorn he had protected him for some reason he didn't know until about ten years ago. Then Aragorn had found out that he was the heir to the throne of Gondor and everything has sudden fallen into place for Legolas. This was why he felt he had, had to protect Aragorn from the first day they met and that he had always taken care of him when he was injured. Aragorn watched as Legolas went to stand away from the others taking guard next to a tree. It was his silent way of saying that he would take watch for the rest of the night. Aragorn waited until he had checked on everyone and then he went to stand by his friend. They stood in silence both pairs of eyes watching for anything that moved that might be of danger. Aragorn thought back to the battle, he and Legolas had trained together so they knew each others moves and were perfectly in sync with each other at all times. Their movements today had reminded him of a dance that only the best could have performed. Legolas's tired eyes lit up with the first signs of light as the gray of the sky was slowly turned to shades of pink and purple.

"Quel amrun gwadoren," Aragorn whispered putting a hand on Legolas's shoulder.

"Hana maer na kena mae," Legolas replied. Aragorn smiled and they watched the sunrise together.

We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun

"Can you help me outside Legolas? I would like to see the sunrise with you one last time," Aragorn asked quietly. Legolas smiled at him from his spot by the window and walked over to him. Aragorn was now 210 years old, his long life was finally coming to a end, Legolas knew that when the sunset on this day that Aragorn would go with it.

"It would be my pleasure mellon nin," Legolas answered slowly helping him up. Aragorn grimaced as pain laced through his old bones, seeing this Legolas gently put a hand under his knees and carried him over to the window. Aragorn hated being this weak but his body hurt too much to protest so he just laid his head against his friend's shoulder and sighed. Legolas rested his chin on Aragorn's head lightly watching as the sun slowly rose making the sky light up with so many colors; red, blue, purple, pink, gold, it was simply beautiful.

"Do you see that Legolas? All the gold?" Aragorn questioned.

"Yes…yes I do Estel. Come we should get you back to bed," Legolas told him as he turned and carried him back to bed. Once his friend was settled Legolas sat on the bed, their hands clasped together. They stayed like that the whole day neither one saying anything and neither one needing to. Orange light filled the room as the sunset and Legolas felt the grip from Estel's hand weakening.

"Legolas…" Estel whispered, a hint of fear could be heard in his voice.

"Peace mellon nin. No matter what happens, I am with you. I am your brother and I will always be beside you," Legolas told him quietly. Estel smiled and leaned his head onto Legolas's shoulder. A few minutes later he took his last breath and a moment after that Legolas Thrandulilion took his last, it was only for a moment that the two brothers were separated. And that is how Arwen found them, both clasping hands…both with a smile on their face, and the sun set.

Wherever you hear - the wind in the canyon
Wherever you see - the buffalo run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cuz you are my brother - my brother under the sun.

"A relationship is like a rose,
How long it lasts, no one knows;
Love can erase an awful past,

Love can be yours, you'll see at last;
To feel that love, it makes you sigh,

To have it leave, you'd rather die;
You hope you've found that special rose,
Cause you love and care for the one you chose."
