~The story of Elora and Legolas~

Chapter 9:~Grief~

Thranduil sat on his throne. It's been a week since Shalendra died now. And he has had a hard time dealing with the grief. The only that was kept him going on was his son. His innocent little son who still called out for his nana and still did not understand that his nana was dead and was never coming back.

The wizard's and Galadriel had sent Hadrian into prison in a mirror deep under the water in a lake where he would never be able to escape without the last Light elf's magic freeing him and his daughter was probably dead too.

Suddenly, Gandalf entered the throne room, "Thranduil, how are you? How is your son?," And Thranduil turned to the wizard, "I'm still dealing with grief. Legolas has still don't understand that his mother isn't coming back," And Gandalf sighed, "My friend, you need time. You've lost someone you loved with your whole heart. And you lost your daughter 5 years ago. You need time to move on. And Legolas needs you more than anyone right now," And Thranduil sighed, "I cannot raise my son when I'm still grieving his mother," And Gandalf sighed, "You're distancing yourself from your own son. Don't you want a good relationship with your son?," And Thranduil turned to the wizard, "I've already spoken with Lord Elrond to let Legolas live in Rivendell for a while. I have a Kingdom to recover from the death of its Queen," And Gandalf sighed and left.

And Thranduil turned to his guard, "Make Legolas ready for the journey! If Elrond won't take him in! Send him to Lady Galadriel! And make sure he fix the swords!,"

(Legolas room)

"Here, Legolas,"The lady tried and gave Legolas a little stuffed animal. "NO! I want nana!," Legolas cried. "Your mother is not here, penneth,"The lady explained gently. And Legolas started crying again, "I want ada! Now!," It hurt the lady to see the little elfling in such pain. And the lady sighed. She knew Thranduil did not want to see his son right now.

Suddenly, Gandalf entered the little prince's room and the maiden went over to him,
"What is it?,"She asked. Gandalf sighed, "Thranduil has decided to send Legolas to Lord Elrond. I hope Galadriel can help the little prince deal with the grief," "Ada does not want me?," Legolas cried. And Gandalf went over to the little prince, "Your father needs time, greenleaf. He will want you soon, I promise," "But he is going to send me away!,"Legolas cried. And the maiden hugged the little elven prince, "It's going to be alright. I promise,"

Gandalf sighed as he remembered Elrond has also lost his wife not so long ago and that their youngest child, Arwen was still a baby.

(Rivendell)

The messenger from Mirkwood reached m by lunchtime.
"My Lord! A messenger from King Thranduil!,"The one of advisers said. And Elrond sighed deeply, 'What would that elf want from me?' And The adviser handed him the letter from Thranduil, bowed and left.

Elrond opened the letter and read it for himself and sighed. "What is it father?,"Elladan interrupted. And Elrond sighed, "The Queen of Greenwood has passed. We're going to have a guest in a few days. Legolas, The Prince of Greenwood," And Elladan looked at his father,"Isn't Legolas only 4 years old or  something?," And Elrond sighed, "Yes, I'm afraid of that. It can give him a hard time processing his mother's death," And Elladan sighed, "That isn't good father. I hope we can help him or maybe grandmother can," And Elrond sighed, "I hope so too, ion níns," And he sighed.

I'm not going to have Gwydion and Elora's past in this story since that happened a year ago and I've focused on Legolas story and Cirdan did actually take away Elora's memories!
