Strong hands spin me around causing the forest to swirl around me. I laugh out loudly causing my Ada to chuckle. He slows me down and then stops. I am set gently onto the forest floor.
"That was fun, Ada!" I giggle. He holds my hand as we stroll under the trees. His bright blue eyes glitter with happiness. He ruffles my hair.
"How about you show me your sword skills, ion nin?" He suggests.
"Yes!" I exclaim loudly before rushing towards the palace and then inside to my room. I grab my small sword from off the wall and then I sprint outside and almost run into my Ada. He laughs and grabs my shoulder.
"Calm down ion nin, there is no rush." He says. I nod but then quickly run out to the practice arena. Ada grabs his own sword and follows me.
"Show me what you know, Thranduil." I smile and get in proper dueling position before lunging forward with my blade outstretched. Ada moves backwards as he parries my sword. Seeing his blade come around towards my side, I jump out of the way. Then I thrust my sword forward, nearly hitting him.
"Very good, ion nin." Ada comments before we continue to duel late into the day.
Then when night falls we walk inside where Ada tells me stories before bed. When he is finished he kisses my forehead.
"I love you, ion nin." He whispers.
"I love you too A-"
"King Thranduil?" A voice asks me, and my father instantly vanishes. "My lord, are you alright?"
My head snaps upwards. I see Ninthalor and Ettrian starring at me. Their concerned gazes are glued to me sitting on the throne.
"Yes?" I ask.
"You seem dazed, my king. " Ninthalor says. "Perhaps you would like to go outside and get some fresh air?"
I shrug slightly. "I suppose." Sadness fills me as I stand and walk into the hallway . I am truly a horrible king. Nothing compared to my brilliant Ada.
As I walk I hear voices coming from everywhere.
"I am worried about him."
"He's not acting right."
"I haven't seen him eat for days."
"I bet he's shaken up after what happened to Oropher."
Shame and doubt flood into my soul. Why am I here? Why am I king? Why is Oropher dead?
Why am I alive?
