Thanks Agie! Any other mistakes are my own.

A/N: *Emphasis*

This story has been floating around in my mind and demanded to be written.
It features a darker Elladan than we are used to and a young vulnerable Legolas.
For the purpose of this story, I have decided (with some advice from the great
and wonderful Min.) that the age of majority for an elf is 500 years. Legolas
will reach his majority during the year of their betrothal. NO underage sex!!!

Feedback: Would be wonderful and makes me type faster!
Summary: King Thranduil has a discussion with Legolas and Elrond tells
Elladan what has happened.
Chapter One
Imladris

Elrond sat behind his desk trying to think of a way to tell Elladan what had
transpired at the meeting with Mithrandir last week. Normally he would have
spoken to his sons the day of the meeting, but the news he would have to convey
was not going to be welcome and the elf lord was hesitant to relate it.
How does one tell their child they are to be bound to an elf who has barely
reached the age of majority? Elladan had little patience with anyone except
Elrohir, who understood his brother�s moods and reasoning in most cases.
Having to tell him he would be bound to an elf who was more a youth than an
adult would be bad enough. Telling him it would be the youngest prince of
Mirkwood would only make matters worse. The animosity between the realms would
make the success of the union almost impossible, yet the Valar demanded it.
A knock at the door signaled Elladan and Elrohir�s arrival, and Elrond
welcomed them immediately. �Pour yourself a glass of wine, my sons, and have a
seat. I wish to tell you of the meeting that took place last week.
Elladan poured the wine and offered his father a glass before sitting in a
chair in front of the desk. �I admit I was curious that you haven�t spoken
to me about the proceedings before now. I imagine it was a tense gathering with
King Thranduil in attendance.�
�The council was heated, that I will admit,� Elrond replied, frowning a
bit as he accepted the wine. �It was not only Thranduil who voiced his
displeasure. I was also vocal in my rejection of the outcome.�
�You and Thranduil disagreed on something?� Elrohir asked in disbelief.
�I wish I had been there to see that happen. What was the council�s
decision, if I may ask?�
�It is more like the decision of the Valar, which Mithrandir brought to us.
It will prepare us for the coming dark times ahead. You know the shadow is
growing. The reports you bring back from your patrols are proof that orc
activity is growing at a record pace.
�The darkness from Dol Guldur has forced the king to move the people of
Taur-nu-Fuin to the northern most part of the forest. Sauron�s power is
growing and we must act now to ensure the future.�
�We know all of this, father,� Elladan stated patiently. �What does
that have to do with the meeting?�
�The purpose of the meeting was to give the people of Arda the best
possible chance to conquer the darkness. Mithrandir spoke of the last elfling
born in Arda almost 500 years ago.�
�Aye,� Elrohir injected, remembering the birth. �Thranduil�s
youngest. What is his name?�
�Legolas,� Elrond answered with a nod. �His birth was orchestrated by
the Valar themselves. The prince is a child of light, and he
will play an important part in the fight for survival of all the
peoples of Arda. They have seen and know more than I of
what is to happen. We can only follow their guidance in these
matters.�
�What is their guidance, and why do I feel like we are about to hear
something we will not like?� Elrohir asked, always the one to anticipate
trouble.
�They wish an alliance formed between Taur-nu-Fuin and Imladris to give
Legolas the best opportunity to grow in his mettle as a warrior. The prince has
excelled in his training as an archer and in his lessons, but needs further
training in weapons that are not used by the wood elves. His scholastic
endeavors must also continue so he will have the knowledge he will need.�
�Legolas will need someone to guide him through his majority into full
elfhood, and the Valar have chosen whom they think will be the best elf to
perform this duty. A binding will take place a year from the coming spring. The
prince will arrive after the first thaw and remain here, training and learning
for that year. After the ceremony, it will be the chosen elf�s sole purpose to
ready Legolas for his purpose.�
�Father, do not tell me it is one of us,� Elladan almost begged. �Neither
one of us has time to raise an elfling, much less a *wood elf*.
Elrohir looked at his father in shock and waited for the words that would
ruin one of their lives.
�I wish I could tell you it was not, Elladan,� Elrond replied solemnly.
�The prince is not an elfling. He will reach the age of majority during the
year before the binding. The Valar have spoken, my elf warrior. You will sign
the contract once Legolas arrives in the valley.�
�And if I refuse?� Elladan asked angrily. �I will not be bound to a
wood elf, especially one I have to help raise!�
�You will refuse the Valar, my son?� Elrond asked calmly. �It is their
order we must follow.�
�Why me?� he asked more calmly, but still shaking with anger.
�I agree with Elladan. What has he done to earn disfavor?� Elrohir asked,
almost as upset as his twin.
�I know not, my sons, but the Valar know things we do not,� Elrond
replied with sympathy. �The ceremony will take place, and you, Elladan will be
bound to Legolas. I realize it will be in name only, but you are charged with
preparing him for the fight of our lives.�

Taur-nu-Fuin

Legolas was practicing with his bow when Bargon interrupted him.
�You�re father would like to speak to you, my Prince, and requests your
presence in his study,� the counselor said, smiling. He had a fondness for the
youngest of Thranduil�s brood. Legolas was the sweetest and most behaved of
the princes.
�I shall fetch my arrows and be there shortly,� Legolas replied, smiling.
�Thank you Bargon!�
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Legolas entered his father�s study the king set aside some
correspondence he was working on and gave his youngest a smile. �Were you out
on the archery field, Legolas?�
�Aye, I was, but what did you need father?� the prince asked, eager to
know why he had been called away from practice.
�What do you know about binding with another elf?� Thranduil asked,
gently.
�I know that you and your beloved exchange vows and your palms are cut so
that you become one,� the prince replied, blushing a bit to be talking to his
father about such a thing.
�Is there a maid or an elf whom you like?� the king asked, still gently.
�Nay, I spend too much time practicing to notice anyone I would like,
father. You know that,� Legolas replied, wondering why he was being asked.
�Do you remember when I went to Imladris to have a meeting with Mithrandir
and Lord Elrond?� Thranduil questioned.
�Aye, you were quite unhappy when you returned and did not want to discuss
what happened. Did Elrond do something to make you angry again?� the prince
asked, curious to know more about the Imladrin lord.
�Nay, it was not Elrond who upset me, but Mithrandir,� the king
explained. �Really it was not Mithrandir; it was the Valar. They have made a
decision that will change our lives.�
�Aren�t the Valar wise and knowing?� Legolas questioned. �Aren�t we
supposed to worship them and follow their guidance?�
�Aye, we are, but sometimes they want things that a normal elf like me
cannot always agree with,� Thranduil replied. �Do you always agree with
everything I say to try to help you grow to be a better elf?�
�Nay, I do not always understand why I cannot do some of the things I would
like to do,� Legolas answered honestly.
�This is sort of the same thing, but we must do as the Valar wills us for
our own good,� the king stated wisely. �In the spring, you will be traveling
to Imladris to train and continue your studies��
�But I do not wish to go to Imladris, father,� the prince interrupted.
�Why would I want to go there? They are�we do not get along with them.�
�Aye, but the Valar want us to get along with each other,� Thranduil
explained. �We must form an alliance with them; that is the wish of the Valar.
It is also their wish that you bind with Elrond�s eldest son, Elladan.�
Legolas stared at his father in disbelief before becoming angry. �I am not
in love with Elladan and will not bind to someone I do not love. He is a
half-elf and you said we should not associate with them. Now you want me to bind
with one?�
�Peace, Legolas,� Thranduil said, holding up his hand. �Elladan must
help you and guide you to be the best warrior that Arda has ever witnessed. The
Valar chose him to be your mate, in name only, I am sure. I do not feel any
better than you do about this, my son, but we cannot defy the Valar.�
Legolas had never felt so helpless and dejected in his entire life. It seemed
he would have no say in what was going to happen to him. In the spring he would
be forced to leave his home, and then a year later forced to marry a son of
Elrond. There was no chance at a love he had always dreamed of; just an alliance
between Taur-nu-Fuin and Imladris. He was almost positive that he could not bear
the half-elf to even touch him; how was he supposed to be bound to him?
�Father, this is not fair,� Legolas spat out angrily. �Do I not deserve
to be loved by the one I am bound to? Should I not also love him? Instead of
happiness for eternity, I am being used as a pawn by the very Valar I am
supposed to serve! I am condemned to a life of sorrow and hatred! I will never
allow that half elf to touch me!�
The prince left the room with a slam of the door and left Thranduil wondering
if Legolas wasn�t right to think he was being used as a pawn.
