Otorno: The Redemption Of An Elven Prince | Legolas X Reader Story

II. Reunited In Rivendell

3018

It was 3018 in the Third Age when your mother Galadriel received concerning news. This news came from lord Elrond of Rivendell. They found the One Ring, carried by a young hobbit by the name of Frodo Baggins, the young nephew of Bilbo Baggings who you encountered some decades ago. He was sending out messengers far and wide to gather a council to decide how the ring should be destroyed and who would do it. When the messenger came to Lothlorien, your mother and father decided to send you to Rivendell as their representative. As the future queen, this concerned you, too.

A day later, you had gathered the things needed for the journey, and together with three more people, you left. You were traveling for a few days, luckily no issues on the road. Then, you finally reached the passage for Rivendell. As you were crossing it, you felt a sense of relief. You were there, at last, and everything went smoothly. However, you had an unusual feeling deep inside you. As if you were nervous or maybe even scared.

You crossed the passage, and you were already on Rivendell's territory. As you reached the bridge to the gorgeous castle of Rivendell, you saw two dark-haired elves coming towards you - lord Elrond and his right-hand Lindir. You stopped your horse and got off. You smiled at Lord Elrond and bowed to him. He smiled and opened his arms to hug you. 

- Arise, my dear, mae govannen! I'm glad to see you even if it's for such concerning events.

- Lord Elrond, I am glad to be back here and that I'm seeing you. Lindir - after you welcomed Elrond's embrace, you turned to the other elf, smiled, and since you knew each other from kids, you even hugged him. He was surprised but he hugged you and welcomed you back. 

- Come, my lady, you must be tired. The rest of the party is not here yet, so let us show you to your chambers so you have some rest.

You walked the familiar halls with them, you could see how troubled and concerned Elrond was. The castle of Rivendell, with its halls full of books and rooms from which music sounded, gave you some sort of comfort and warm feelings. Even though you still had this unknown and unusual feeling in you, you tried to ignore it. You reached the chambers and Elrond and Lindir left you to rest. You entered the room with a big, gorgeous balcony, overseeing the beautiful waterfalls and forests, and the entrance to the castle. You stayed there, in the quiet, to think. You knew the fact the ring was found meant your mother's time was almost over. Which meant you had to take your responsibilities seriously now. You knew this was going to be a huge and really important challenge for you, and had to find the strength within yourself. 

You tried to get some rest but you could not get any sleep, you were restless and did not know why. So you did the only thing you've always loved to do when you were at Rivendell - you went out on your balcony. It was early in the morning and the world was waking up around you. Dressed in a light silver gown, with your blonde hair falling on your sholders and back, you could feel the crisp autumn air. You loved this season and the changing leaves, the crisp air and the sense of change.

As you were standing there, you heard horses. You saw three men with beards and long hair coming in. The rest of the council party had finally started to arrive. They were welcomed by the elves and taken inside the castle. This happened with the dwarves that came after as well. And then, you saw him entering - Legolas, the prince of Mirkwood. He got off his horse and greeted the other elves. He looked different but was still as handsome if not even more. You felt it in your heart, the love and the warm feelings just flourishing inside you once more. But they were mixed together with the pain of your broken heart. Yes, after so many years, your heart was still not healed. And then your eyes met. He was still smiling lightly, but he was surprised to see you. You broke eye contact as you looked away and headed back inside your room where you sat on the bed, and even if you didn't want to, you cried.
