Lothlóríen

The next day the Elvenking and his family arrived in Lothlóríen, and again awaited Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel for them when they entered.

'Mae tollen', "to Lothlóríen King Thranduil." Galadriel said with a smile.

"Hannon le.' Thranduil said.

"Feel free to look around. ...Oh, and King Thranduil, meet me in the library in an hour." Galadriel stated.

"Of course, Lady Galadriel." He said.

With that the royal family bowed, and left to go to their chambers.

A little over an hour later the King opened the doors to the library to find no one there. Thranduil walked in and closed the door behind him and had a look around the library.

"King Thranduil?" A voice called.

(That voice sounds oddly familiar.) The King thought.

He turned to see the face of the voice, he found Lord Elrond sitting in a chair with a book in his hand.

Regeína and Legolas decided to take a walk in the gardens, and by deciding more like she forced her son to come with her.

"Look, Legolas." said the Queen. "Are the trees beautiful not in the summer?"

"I guess." Legolas replied, trying to find something, anything more interesting to do.

Then, the Prince heard a heavenly voice singing, he had to know the face of the voice. The Prince took off hoping to find the person to the voice, the Queen noticed this and tried to stop her son.

But, before she had the chance to stop him, he was already to far gone. Running in the direction of the mysterious voice.

"Hush child the darkness will

rise from the deep,

And carry you down into

Sleep."

"Legolas! Come back!" Regeína shouted, but the Prince kept running. Every step Legolas took the louder the voice became.

"Loyalty, loyalty

loyalty, loyalty

Loyalty, loyalty,

loyalty, only to me."

Closer and closer the voice became, and around corner the Prince found the face to the lovely voice. He saw an Elleth with long white hair. Legolas listened to her sing, it sounded like a lullaby, so calm and peaceful.

"Hush child, the darkness will

rise from the deep,

And carry you into

sleep.

Child, the darkness will rise

from the deep,

And carry you down into

sleep."

The Prince was brought back to reality, when the she spoke.

"Hello." She said with a smile.

"M...Milady." Legolas replied.

"Where is your 'Naneth, penneth?'"

The Prince was about to speak, but his mother's voice called.

"Legolas! Legolas, do not ever do that again, do you understand?" The Queen said, hugging her son.

"Yes, 'Naneth.'" He said.

Regeína looked at her son then at the woman, as she did she saw a familiar face.

"Celebrían? Is that you?" She asked standing up.

"Yes, it is I. What are you doing here, Regeína?"

"Lady Galadriel sent a letter to Thranduil, telling us to come." She explained as she picked up her three year old son.

"Was he now?" Celebrían asked.

"Yes, well how have you and the family been doing?" Regeína asked.

"Wonderful. How have you been?" Was all Celebrían said as they started to walk though the gardens.

"Wonderful as well. Are you sure, there is nothing else you wish to tell me?"

"Yes,...but we must speak in private." Celebrían whispered.

Regeína was about to speak, when two identical Ellons came into view.

"Pick it up Elrohir, or we will not have time to practice before dinner." Elladan called.

"Well, we would be there all ready if we did not pass though the gardens." Elrohir stated.

Elladan stopped his twin just a few feet away from their mother, the Queen, and the Prince.

"We would get there faster if you would quit your - mother."

Elladan and Elrohir saw their mother with a maiden and a little boy.

"Regeína, you remember my sons, Elladan and Elrohir right?"

"Yes, I remember them, though it has been a long time."

"Elladan and Elrohir, this is Regeína and her son Legolas, Queen and Prince of Greenwood." Celebrían explained.

The twins gave their bows, as well as Regeína, still holding her son.

"Why, do they look like that, 'Naneth?'" Legolas asked.

"Legolas, that is rude." The Queen said.

"I am sorry." The Prince said in shame.

"We are twins young Prince." Elrohir said.

"Twins?" Legolas said confused.

"Yes, identical ones at that." Elladan stated.

"Identical? What does that mean?"

"It means they look alike." Celebrían said.

"Oh, that's fascinating. Can I have a twin, 'Naneth?'" Legolas asked with a big smile and looking at his mother.

"I do not think so, 'lell nón.'" She said with a giggle.

"How come?"

"Because, twins are born together not separate." The Queen replied.

"Oh, how are they born?"

Everyone's face was speechless, on what to say next.

"Do you have a bow Legolas?" Elladan asked, changing the subject.

"Yes."

"Do you want to come shoot with us?" Elrohir asked.

The Prince's face lit up.

"Can I, 'Naneth?'" He asked looking back at his mother.

"Of course, you can. Just do not be late for dinner."

"That goes for the same for you two." Celebrían told her sons.

Her sons just smiled and left for the archery range.
