Follow Your Heart (Legolas Greenleaf) Ellethwen

Follow Your Heart (Legolas Greenleaf) The Ring Goes South

After everything is pack and ready, The fellow ship of the ring are already for departure. As I stood beside Legolas and the others, I smile at him as he returns it. I also look over to Arwen who also looks at me with tears in her eyes.

I smile sadly at her as I know how painfull this is to her. For me and Aragorn to depart from her.

"The Ringbearer is setting out on the quest of Mount Doom and you who travel with him, no oath nor bond is laid to go further than you will."

My father bid as he gaze at me and Legolas.

"Farewell. Hold to your purpose and may the blessings of elves, and men, and all free folk go with you."

He raise his hand and gesture for us to leave as me, Legolas, and Aragorn bow to him with respect.

"The fellowship awaits the ringbearer" Gandalf announced to Frodo. I saw how Frodo is quiet nervous as he turns around to walk out of Rivendell, with us behind him.

Before I left I walk over to my father and gave him a hug. He returns the hug but sadly did not utter a word to me. I gave him a sad smile as I place my right hand on his cheek. I walk over to Arwen, who immediatly hug me. I glady hug her back.

"You must return" she whispered to me. I pull away and gave her a sad smile aswell.

"I will not promise for I am not sure what fate holds upon me." I answer her truthfully.

I pull away from her and walk over to Legolas, who is waiting for me.

As all of us begun to exit Rivendell, I saw father walking over to Aragorn.

"Do look after Ellethwen. For she will be now in your hands" my father said as Aragorn smile and look at Legolas.

"No my Lord. Not just in my hands" he answered back and his gaze left Legolas to look at Arwen for the last time.

My father didnt answer back and watch as we all made our departure. While Frodo guides the way with Gandalf's help.

~Fast Forward~

We all walk in silence as we walk over mountains, past ancient ruins, and over the hills.

"We must hold the course west of the Misty Mountains for forty days. If our luck holds the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. And there are road turns east to Mordor"

Gandalf said as we decided to take a rest on a clear hill. Sam was busy cooking sausages while me and Frodo watch Merry ane Pippin practice sword fighting with Boromir.

"Here milady" Sam said as he gave me a plate of sausages.

I gave him a smile before taking it. "Thank you Sam. I heard you are a good cook"

He blushes and thank me before going to sit beside Frodo who is also watching the sword practice. While me, Gandalf, and Gimli talk about our quest.

My eyes wonders towards Legolas who stands keeping watch. He is very handsome indeed.

"It seems the prince of mirkwood caught your interest" Gandalf's voice interrupted my though.

I turn towards him and scowl. "That is ridiculous" I said as he laughs at me.

"If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note that they're not, i'd say that we were taking the long way round. Gandalf, we could pass through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome" Gimli suggested as me and Gandalf frown at him.

"No Gimli, I would not take the round through Moria unless I had no other choice." Gandalf stated as I nodded.

Just then Legolas runs infront of us and stands and stares at a grey cloud in the distance. I stood up and follow his gaze.

"What is that?" I murmured to Legolas who gave me a worried look.

Not to soon everyone stop what they are doing and look aswell.

"Nothing, its just a whisp of cloud" Gimli answered with a shrug but we werrent convince.

"Its moving fast... Against the wind" Boromir pausing from scuffle looks up.

Thats when realization hits me and Legolas. "Crebain! From Dudland!" He yelled to them.

"Hide!" Aragorn yelled.

"Hurry!" Boromir ushered as all of them hid.

I saw the fire was still lit. I run towards it and stomps on it. "Ellethwen hurry!" Someone yelled.

Then arms wraps around my waist and pulls me under the bush. My eyes opens and saw Legolas gazing down to me. He was ontop of me. I can feel the heat on my cheeks as I gaze his beautiful eyes.

We had a small eyes connection before we broke it and look out and saw the birds.

As the flocks if birds disappear we all came out from our hiding place. I gave Legolas a smile as he helps me up.

"Diola lle (thank you)"

"Lle creoso Ellethwen (your welcome Ellethwen) he answered.

"Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched" Gandalf said as I notice Frodo's distressed look.

I walk over to him and place a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

"We must take the Pass of Caradhras" Gandalf announced as we all look ip at the snowy peaked mountains.
