He knows Middle Earth better than most.
He has friends from every folk and in every region of the land though he is unknown.
He was there when history was written though you find his name in no book.
He is a protector, healer, warrior, wizard, ally, friend or a sworn enemy.
Barely anyone knows him well enough to tell at least a part of his story, so he remains a rumor.
But when Gandalf the Grey sends for him Nataen will be dragged into an unexpected adventure.
The story of their journey will spread across Middle Earth and lift the shadows that surround him a little bit.
Disclaimer: This story was inspired by the "Blue Swords" trilogy, written by Frayedapart.
If you are a fan of the Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings you should pay the profile of Frayedapart a visit. There are many more fanfictions about those books.
Like "Blue Swords" this book includes a romantic relationship between Legolas and the male Oc. Those who are uncomfortable with this kindly move on to another book.

Echoes in the Greenwood // ThranduilxOC
Nerwen is no ordinary daughter of the Eldar. Touched by the blood of the ancient ones and gifted with elemental magic long forgotten, she is summoned to the Greenwood on the eve of war. Sent by Galadriel, bound by purpose, and haunted by a past of loss and silence, Nerwen carries a power the Enemy has already begun to hunt. There she meets Thranduil-king of starlight and ice, carved by grief, crowned in thorns of pride. What begins as wary distance deepens into something neither can name. As the darkness spreads from Dol Guldur and the dwarves of Erebor awaken a fire beneath the mountain, fate draws them closer, even as old wounds threaten to tear them apart. From the shadowed halls of Mirkwood to the burning skies over Dale, Echoes in the Greenwood weaves a tale of war, sacrifice, and slow-burning love. It is the story of a warrior who carries too much, a king who dares to hope again, and a bond powerful enough to bend even the will of the Valar. And when all light seems lost... the Greenwood sings her name. All of the original characters from Tolkien are not mine. All of the others are of my own creative power.Complete
