I was walking down the street one day when suddenly a van came squealing around the corner. i recognized the vehicle. It was my father's. It stopped abruptly next to me and the front and back windows rolled down. My father sat in the front seat and my brother sat in the back. Both were sporting the antlers and fuzzy ears of deer. I gaped.

"We don't have time to explain. Get in the car," Legolas rushed. 

Thranduil unlocked the car door and Legolas pushed it open. I climbed in with my bags from the store I'd been in and buckled up before my father tore off down the street again. We stopped at a familiar house. It belonged to Elrond, who was a friend of my father and a world-renowned doctor. Legolas and I were friends with his kids: Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen.

We hurried inside. Legolas had briefed me on the way there.  He and Thranduil had caught some sort of disease that would turn them into deer if it wasn't cured fast enough. They figured Elrond could help them. But once they'd explained their situation to the doctor, he just shook his head and said:

"Well, I can try."

That was about two years ago. And I can tell you, caring for two deer who were once family is and interesting experience.
