An Unexpected Favor

Chapter Twenty Nine Leaving Home

We all then prepared for the journey. My father talked to Legolas, I'm sure about me. I snuck over to Aragorn who was preparing his pack.
"Can't say I'm not impressed," he said.
"I can't stay here forever," I said as he looked at me.
"No. You need to see the world," he smiled softly. Then his gaze looked behind me as I saw Legolas approaching. He smiled.
"I am glad you are coming," he said.
"Me too," I said shyly.
"I'm sworn to protect you nin meleth," he said. Aragorn turned back to his pack as I blushed. I tried to smile back. My siblings then unknowingly saved me as they came to talk to me. My brothers gave me last minute tips and Arwen said goodbye. My brothers talked to Legolas briefly as Arwen said something to Aragorn. My father came back over and said goodbye and hugged me. Then the fellowship came together as Gandalf got in the front by Frodo. I smiled at the hobbit. Aragorn led our pony out as we began our journey to leave Imladris. I followed behind Legolas and gave one last glance to my father and the others. I couldn't believe I was leaving home!
