Motherless

Requested tumblr : Hi! Please could I request a Legolas imagine? <3 Maybe one where you are talking to Legolas and thranduil when a messenger from your home kingdom comes in and informs you that your mother has been slain by the orcs of Gundabad? Legolas and thranduil get emotional because it is the exact thing that happened to Legolas' mother so they support you. If it is possible for you to do this, then thank you so much! ^-^

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     It took your four viscious tries to get into the Mirkwood Kingdom. The guards were very thorough on checking you for weapons. You were the prince's wife! You wouldn't do anything to harm his kingdom. When you were eventually allowed in, you were confused when your mother didn't show. She was supposed to meet you on the inside like she always did...hmm. Ignoring it for now you marched all the way to Thranduil's throne.

Legolas' throne sat to the right of his father's. Upon seeing you he shot up and greeted you with a bear hug and a warm smile," it amazes me how every time I see you, I'm filled with so much love". Legolas ran a gentle finger down your cheek.

"You're very flattering, my love," I lightly laughed.

"Yes, well, I try to be," he kissed your forehead and stepped back. You looked to see Thranduil walking down his steps to you.

You bowed to him," good evening my king, lovely day isn't it?" The King hadn't been too happy with his son's pick for you as his wife, but, somehow, Thranduil warmed up to you.

"It is, we should all go for a walk in the gardens sometime," Thranduil got to you and you exchanged a warm hug, he was your father-in-law, now.

"Sounds wonderful, but I have to ask: have either of you seen my mother? She was supposed to meet me at the gate," I explained. I was trying to not let my nerves get the best of me, but deep down I could feel that something was extremely off, or wrong.

Father and son looked at each other and shook their heads no," we haven't seen her all day actually," Thranduil spoke. This made my brows furrow.

"She's not someone to just run away-- she's very sensible, where could she be?" I tried not to let worry slip into my voice, but I failed miserably.

"Don't worry love, perhaps she stepped out for a walk?" Legolas ran his hands down my arms and tried to rationalize. He was right, my mother dos like to go on walks, but she would never forget plans.

I nodded and looked to the ground. I couldn't shake this feeling in the pit of my stomach. Suddenly a guard came rushing up to the thrones.

"My lady y/n?" He said breathlessly.

"Yes?" I knew this was bad, I could sense the tension, and uneasiness. Nothing was adding up, this was it. I could feel that everything was about to change.

"Your mother...she was found...she was...killed my the orcs of Gundabad," the guard tried to break it to me slowly. His words were breaking my heart.

The heart makes no sound when it breaks, but my silence was screaming. I felt wetness run down my cheek as I moved my gaze to the floor. The guard stepped off to the back and hung his head.

"Love?" Legolas tried to call to me, but I only heard it echo in my mind. He tried to put a hand on me, put I angrily shook it off. I wanted to be alone, I wanted my mother. I walked slowly over to the balcony rail and clutched it for dear life. I felt faint.

My mother was dead? I felt more tears trail down my cheeks and I gripped to rail until my knuckles turned white. I grew furious with a bubbling anger in my soul toward orcs. I let out a piercing cry and scream. After that, I broke down. I knelt down to the floor and began weeping. I felt hands on my back and I felt someone hold me to them. I was surprised when I found that it was Thranduil.

"Shh, we will get through this together child," he cooed. He held me some more until I was passed to Legolas who rocked me and sang in my ear. I was never going to see my mother again. My heart wish twisted on a painful knot.

"We are here for you y/n, we know too well just what this feels like," you heard Thranduil say from above you. His Boise was laced with hurt and anger. You had no doubt that the king would do whatever he could to avenge your mother's death.

You had people here who cared about you and supported you, and that's exactly what you needed right now.
