"Lord Elrond, please tell me." He looks up at me.

"*Sigh* Your father made me swear never to reveal anything to you or anyone." I say.

"Please. I have to know." Legolas says.

"Very well." I say.

I sit down in the chair in front of him.

"Malachi was born first. I know of him because King Thranduil would often bring him here." I say.

"Why?" I ask.

"Training. He and I had much to discuss back then." I answer.

He looks down.

"What was he like?" He asks.

I let out a breath.

"Strong. Determined but... he was ruthless." I say.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"As we trained him, he had this look in his eyes. A certain blood loss just behind the eyelids." He says.

"Blood loss?" He looks up at me.

"Yes. The eyes of a predator. As he fought, he fought to kill." I say.

"He has become a Dark Elf." He says looking at me.
