The love of another
Part 1
Rivendell
A tall slender elf came riding into the forest-covered land of Lord Elrond, his long blonde hair flowing freely behind him. His snow white horse jolted to a halt as long fingers tugged gently on the reins. Legolas sprang lightly onto the leafy earth and turned his head to admire the beauty of Rivendell. His blue eyes scanned the two people standing either side of him. To his right stood a well-built man dressed in fine clothes. Legolas noted the ivory horn hung at his waist. To his left, a short stout dwarf began walking towards the pearl white doors of Elrond's house. He glared at the dwarf's back and began to head towards the entrance of the building. Before he got there, the doors were opened by a lady-elf who lead the three of them into the Elf King's quarters. " Welcome to Rivendell." An elderly elf with long, brown hair walked over to them. All three bowed low as they stood before Lord Elrond. " It is good that you have come, your presence is very much appreciated. I understand that you have all journeyed long and hard. Please follow me to your rooms where you can rest for a while and recover your strength for the Council Meeting." Elrond guided everyone up a flight of stone steps trailed with ivy and into a narrow corridor with roses hanging from the walls. Elrond stopped and pointed to a doorway with a slivery, silky material curtain acting as a door. " Legolas, that is your room. I hope it is to your liking." Legolas thanked him and walked over to the curtain. He pulled it open and entered his abode. The first thing that hit him was the mass of windows that brought light streaming into the room. There was a bed directly in front of him, made with white sheets that seemed to sparkle in the light. He walked over to a pair of double doors that led to a marble balcony. As he looked out over the wonderousness Rivendell something caught his eye. A lady elf dressed in silken robes was standing, looking at the Ford nearby. Legolas felt as though his heart had stopped. She was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. He wasn't aware of anything around him, all he could see was her, this, this.elven princess. Child of the stars, daughter of the moon. Just at that moment, something caught her eye and she turned to look back at Legolas. He daren't move a muscle in case it was all a dream. A smile broke out on her face, Legolas saw diamonds in her eyes and his heart began melting. He smiled back at her, willing her to stay exactly where she was, so he could devour her with his eyes. Sadly she turned and walked away, he felt like he wanted to jump of the balcony and run after her. He turned away from the window and sat down on his soft bed. Elrond had told him to gather his strength, so he thought he better rest for a while. He lay his head down on the comfy pillow and waited for sleep to take him. There were other things on his mind, so it never did. *
