Entwined(Thranduil Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 done! I was actually blushing while writing this haha but hope you enjoy it!

I jolted out of my room and after bumping into my father, followed him outside to greet the mystery guest. I held a small smile of excitement of my face when I saw a very handsome elf approach on horseback. He looked very familiar but his facial features were soft and he looked to be a very trustworthy person. He transitioned off his horse and greeted Lord Elrond.

“Very nice to see you again Legolas.”

Legolas smiled and then looked at me. I smiled at him and he slightly bowed his head. I could get used to having more guests around. For some reason we did not head inside but instead waited. After standing there for a few more minutes another rider came. He sat very straight and tall on his horse. I wondered if I was mistaken but I could’ve sworn he was Thranduil, but that was unlikely. He got down from his horse and as he walked closer I felt like I was going to throw up. The sound of his leather boots made me feel dizzy. It seemed like the world hated me for me to always have encounters with him. Thranduil gave his greetings and we finally left the outside heat and went into the shade of the indoors.

Thranduil, Lord Elrond and my father discussed matters privately and I was left to awkward silence with Legolas.

“So your name is Legolas?” I asked him.

He seemed very spaced out. I was very curious about him.

“Nanye Aranel.”

There was still no answer.

Then after a moment he spoke.

“Aranel, don’t you get tired of the same thing over and over again?”

“Yes, but sometimes it is comforting,” I answered.

“What about the rest of the world?” He asked.

“I don’t know. I’m sure you know more than I do.”

He chuckled to himself.

“I am just as clueless as you,” He said.

I looked at him and could tell he was telling the truth. It was very shocking to hear a prince such as himself had not been exposed to the outside world. In a sense it felt nice to think that we were in the same situation.

After a while the door opened and everyone stepped out. Thranduil had angry look on his face, which caused me to feel bad for Legolas. Thranduil caught sight of me then his face seemed to shift. It looked like a light bulb went off in his head, which made me feel very uneasy.

“Please, stay for dinner your highness,” My father said to Thranduil after Lord Elrond left to attend to other matters.
