Legolas is the equivalent of a 15 year old human, making him around 100. His father, Thranduil, blames his son for the death of his wife (in this story she died in child birth) and beats his son every day in punishment. Aragorn (Estel) was raised by elves in Rivendell, where such cruelty would never be tolerated. He is currently aged 20. When he is sent to Mirkwood as a representative of Lord Elrond, he accidentally discovers the hardships of the prince's life. But will Estel be able to rescue Legolas? And if he does, will the elf ever be able to learn to trust? Aragorn is trying to deal with the truth he has only just learned about his heritage. Can he save Legolas' life and bear the burden of a destiny he doesn't want? And what will happen if he fails? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Thank you @EstelElfstone for the wonderful cover! ⚠️ THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE ⚠️ Please don't repost this on any other sites.

A fanfic of Tauriel's childhood, how she grew up, the mystery behind her parents, her relationship with Legolas, and a more detailed background for the character than was ever written by Peter Jackson. Tauriel is training to become Captain of the Guard, her one opportunity to be anything more than the daughter of a murderer. Because at the moment, that's all that she is. Her father, Tarion, murdered 16 elves before he was caught attempting to assassinate the King, and beheaded. One of his victims was his own wife, Tauriel's mother, leaving her an orphan, viewed by most as a murderer, despite the fact that she has never killed anyone. DISCLAIMER: Tauriel, Legolas, Thranduil, Elrond, and any others mentioned in Lord of The Rings do not belong to me! They belong to JRR Tolkien and/or Peter Jackson. I have created some of my own characters such as Tarion and Dilemas, but any also mentioned in LOTR or the Hobbit books/movies do not belong to me!

When Estel/Aragorn's heritage is finally revealed to him, his world is changed in more ways than one. Can Aragorn, with the help of an Elven Prince, correct the world that has somehow spun out of control? Contains violence. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS! They all belong to Tolkien.
