"I assume you have news for me about my son?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yes. Unfortunately, it's not good news Thranduil." Gandalf says.

"Has he gotten himself into trouble?" I ask.

"I'm afraid so. Terrible trouble. We are here to discuss your son." Gandalf says.

I turn and pour a drink for msyelf.

"I am not stopping you from telling me about Legolas." I say.

"Not him. Your other son." Gandalf says.

The cup almost falls out of my hand. My heart strains at those words. I look at him in surprise.

"Malachi has returned." Gandalf says.

"Impossible." I say walking away.

"He is as real as the day Thranduil." Gandalf says.

"I got rid of him long ago." I say.

"And Legolas is now in chains because of it!" Gimli yells. 

"What?" I ask looking at the dwarf.

"He has taken hold of your son." Gandalf says.

"How is this possible?" My hand shakes.

"Because he is a dark elf now." Aragorn says.

"A what?" I ask.

"A Dark Elf. He's forming a new race." Gandalf says.

"Guards!" I call.

They walk forward.

"Track him down and kill Malachi." I order.

They nod and turn. I turn.

"Thranduil. You cannot beat this game with an army." Gandalf says.

"My son is worth it Gandalf the White." I call.
