Chapter Eleven – New Life

There was total silence. The only sounds you could hear were those of the birds or water. It was too quiet. The two elves that walked through the trees were alert and ready for danger. There had been reports from the rangers of trouble with orcs so the two elves had decided to investigate. As they were nearing the cave where once their mother had been held captive, they noticed how the quiet seemed to be more deadly. Exchanging troubled looks, the elves walked into the clearing. Elladan stopped and stared at the scene before his eyes. It was exactly like he had seen in his vision. There was Arathorn, dead. Closer to the cave was Gilrean, her pale brown hair spread out behind her. This time it was Elladan who picked up the bundle. Little Aragorn was sleeping. They had only met this baby twice and both twins had fallen in love with him. Now he was parentless. The twins looked in wonder at the child's face and silently agreed to protect this future king. The hope of mankind slept the whole ride back to Imladris.

Elrond was sitting in his study when the door was flung open and a blonde elfling of around the age of sixteen peered into the room. Upon seeing Elrond the elf slowly walked over to the elf lord and settled himself on the ground. Elrond pretended to ignore the elf. The only way to get Legolas to speak was to ignore him and wait for him to say something. It had been this way ever since he had been rescued. After around two minutes the elf spoke.

"When do the twins come back?" he asked in a whisper. Elrond felt a short moment of joy, as this was the longest sentence Legolas had said.

"A few more days I should think, how is your archery coming along?" asked Elrond.

"Good," they were back to short sentences. Elrond nodded and continued reading the book in front of him. Eventually Legolas got up and wondered over to the bookshelf. In a blink of an eye the skinny elf was perched on the top with a book in his hands. Elrond smiled and continued reading. A knock at his door several hours later made the elf on the bookshelf nearly topple off and Elrond jump. Erestor poked his head in and smiled briefly upon seeing the blonde elfling settling down on the bookshelf once more. Then turning to Elrond he announced that the twins were back. He had to jump back as a bundle of green and gold flew past him and down the stairs to the gates. Elrond smiled at Erestor and the two dark haired elves made their way down to the gates at a more dignified pace then the prince.

Legolas sat on his bed staring at the door in confusion. The twins had come back with a baby. They had ignored him and shut themselves in Elrond's study with Elrond, Erestor and Glorfindel. Legolas had been shut out. For attention the elf prince had thrown a tantrum but all he received was a stern look from Elrond and Glorfindel taking him to his room and telling him to stay there. So for the past two hours Legolas had done just that. Sat on his bead and frowned at the door. The silence was shattered by the cries of a baby coming from the next room. Curiously, the elf climbed out his window and looked in to the next room. It was the room Arwen had used as a baby as had the twins. Now it had a human child in the cradle. No one was coming to the screams so Legolas climbed through the window and slowly walked over to the cradle. When he looked inside, the crying stopped. The human child and the skinny elfling stared at each other. Then with a giggle, the child reached out and gasped Legolas's golden hair. Legolas let out a cry of surprise and pulled back. But the human child was strong; he gripped on and was slowly raised onto his feet. Legolas stopped moving and glared at the child. The child just grinned and tugged at the golden hair.

"Having fun?" came a voice from the shadows. Legolas jumped and looked around. Elrond and the twins were standing in the shadows of the room and had been for quite some time. Legolas frowned and tried to free his hair. Elrohir came over and stopped the younger elf's hands while Elladan picked up the child.

"Legolas, we would like you to meet Estel, Estel this is Legolas!" Elladan said as he placed Estel in Legolas's arms. The blonde elf looked on in horror as the child reached up for the blonde hair once more. Elrond smiled; maybe this child was going to help the prince live once more.

Estel stalked through the halls of Imladris. He was looking for Legolas. The elf had hidden away all day and Estel was not happy. The twins were practicing with their swords and had just finished showing Estel how to hold one. When Estel reached his room, he paused outside the one next-door, Legolas's room. No noise came from there, but then again, when had Legolas ever made noise. Smiling Estel opened his door and went to the bed. Sure enough, curled up on the bed was the elf prince, his eyes closed in sleep. Estel frowned; he still could not understand how Legolas slept with closed eyes. Elrohir had said it was because of what had happed earlier in his life, something he still needed to recover from. With a sly grin, the six-year-old child reached out and grabbed a fistful of golden hair. Quick as a flash, a slender hand reached out and grabbed a handful of brown curls. Estel smiled and crawled onto the bed. He planted a kiss on the elf's nose and curled up next to him. Thus it was, when Elrond came looking for him he found the two sleeping gripping the others hair in their hands. Smiling to himself, Elrond sat down and watched them sleep.
