THE MORNING STAR OF MIRKWOOD (LEGOLAS & THRANDUIL FANFICTION)

CHAPTER 5

🍀AND DON'T FORGET GIVE ME YOUR RATINGS AND COMMENT, DON'T BE STINGY🍀

   At midnight, Legolas crept out of his room, he put on his hunting clothes and brought all his equipment. He went to the back of the palace to meet the other guards

"Hir nin" Meludir called out

Legolas nodded as a response "is everything ready?" Legolas asked

They all nodded in response

"All right, let's go" Legolas started walking

"But Hir nin, where is Captain Feren?" Galion asked in confusion

"Eh ... Captain Feren is not coming with us, he will go to see another frontier" Legolas replied

"Yes my prince" Galion nodded Then they all left.

When he reached the gate, Legolas stopped in his tracks and hesitated a little "What is it, prince?" Galion asked

"Ah" Legolas shook his head "no" he then opened the gate forcefully "come on" He asked

   They were already in a forest outside the Mirkwood area, they walked for almost an hour, and suddenly Legolas heard a barked sound.

"What is that?" Meludir asked, whispered

"There they are, it's spiders" Legolas replied, Legolas then ran towards the source of the sound They saw that there were tens, even hundreds of spiders nesting there. "On my words" Legolas whispered "1 ... 2 ... 3"

"Hir nin Legolas" Suddenly Captain Feren came to them,

Legolas closed his eyes, his expression changing to shock and panic. He then turned to see Captain Feren, Feren's face was seen depicting disappointment "what's wrong?" Legolas asked, keeping his voice as calm as possible

"Your father asked me to pick you up. He wants to meet you as soon as possible" Feren then looked at the other guards "and you are dismiss. This mission is canceled and you also have to return to the kingdom as soon as possible"

The guard elves stared at each other in bewilderment. Then quickly they nodded "yes!" They said in unison

"We'd better go now, before the spiders notice our presence." They walked together back to the kingdom with Captain Feren as the leader of the road. Legolas tries to avoid Captain Feren, but the captain pulls Legolas closer to him "This is reckless, prince. Your father is very mad, I do not know what he will do" Feren whispered

"I did what I thought was right," Legolas answered firmly

    After arriving at the palace, all the guards returned to their respective posts, except for Legolas. Feren immediately took him into the Elvenking's room.

When he entering the king's room Legolas saw Elvenking standing with his back to him, hands folded to his chest "My ... My Lord" Legolas stammered out

Thranduil raised his hand as an order to keep Legolas quiet. "You ignore my orders, fight against me, don't listen to me, lie on my behalf, and endanger the other guards. What do you think, Legolas?" His voice was cold as ice, Thranduil then turned around, staring Legolas right in the eyes "if only you weren't my son, I would have kicked you out of this kingdom" Thranduil said sharply. "And because for what have you've done, I have to punish the guards who came with you"

"No!" Legolas raised his voice "they don't know that I'm lying. Don't punish them! Just punish me" Legolas said

"What should I punish you with!" Thranduil snapped "your deed should have heavy sanctions, if you are not a prince and not my only son, you may be banished or hanged for your disobedience!" Thranduil's voice got even higher

Feren looked at the angry Thranduil with a frightened face

"But I'm doing this because I know I'm not wrong!" Legolas defended himself "if we can kill the roots, we no longer have to bother killing the spiders every day! And our kingdom can return to normal. Do you know, our kingdom is never called Greenwood again, we are called Mirkwood! " Legolas snapped a little

Thranduil turned around "I don't care about that. As long as we are in this kingdom, we will be prosperous and safe"

"Why? Why are you so afraid of the outside? Why?" Legolas approached his father. They used to call you the greatest elvenking, now you are nothing more than a coward!"

'PLAK!' Thranduil threw a slap right on Legolas's right cheeks and knocked him down to the end of the room.

"Feren widened his eyes My king!" He shouted in shock

Thranduil was very shocked by what he did, he saw his trembling hands, he then looked at Legolas who fell on the ground "oh valar ... Legolas ... I" He tried to get close to Legolas.

Legolas looked up, seeing that his lips were bleeding from the slap. His face depicts anger

"Legolas .... I" Thranduil tried to help Legolas to his feet

Legolas threw Thranduil's hand "don't touch me!" Legolas snapped "thousands of years you have never treated me properly, now you dare to beat me!"

Thranduil approached Legolas "Legolas I ..."

Legolas retreated "don't come near!" He shouted "all I did for your recognition, all I did for the sake of this kingdom, but this is what I got? I think it's better to die! Die ... Die really dies like a man, so I don't have to see  you again!"

"Hir nin!" Feren snapped Legolas

Legolas then went running to leave the room

"Legolas!" Thranduil called, he then looked back at his hand, the hand that had hurt his son "Feren, what have I done"

  Legolas entered his room in disgust, he slammed the door so loudly that the voice echoed. Breathless, he then went to a mirror, and saw a large handprint on his cheek, and the feeling of the slap was still felt on his cheek. Legolas didn't know why, but being slapped by his father made his heart hurt, made him very sad, suddenly tears flowed from his eyes "what is this?" Legolas wiped the tears that fell on his cheeks, he tried not to cry, but at last he cried, he sat on the floor and cried.

"My prince" Feren entered Legolas room, he was shocked when he saw Legolas crying on the floor "Legolas!" Feren immediately ran towards Legolas and hugged him, he hugged Legolas, buried Legolas's head in his chest, he didn't say anything, just hugged Legolas and let Legolas cry in his chest.

It turned out that Thranduil saw all this, his face depicting sadness, and he slowly closed the door and left
