Prologue
Legolas
paced along the shoreline, staring out to sea. His face was a
picture of frustration and irritation. Valinor was supposed to
be the isle of peace, but peace was the very last thing he felt.
He glared at the sea, the gently rolling waves seemed, even now,
to be mocking him. Turning away, he clenched and un-clenched his
fists, trying to relieve some of the tension. He wondered if he
was going to feel this way for the rest of eternity.
"Legolas?" Came a soft voice from behind him. He turned
to look at the speaker, a she-elf with soft golden hair and eyes
that matched his own.
"Mother." He said quietly. "I didn't know you were
nearby." The former Elven-Queen looked sadly at her son and
laid her hand on his shoulder.
"Please Legolas, talk to me. You've been restless ever since
you came here. It's not supposed to be like that." Legolas
averted his eyes. She was his mother, she knew when something
was wrong. It was pointless to try to keep his feelings from her.
"It's not fair." He whispered. The Queen sighed.
"Oh my son. Life has never been fair." Legolas jerked
his head up sharply, suddenly angry.
"But life isn't the issue now is it?!" He snapped. He
looked at her desperately, seeking answers he knew she did not
have. "Why, Mother? Why did I have to die?!"
