Forbidden Falls

Ch3

Thranduil sat on his dais,
thinking about the day before when he and his son spoke to his advisors. The
king shuddered at their suggestion that a search be made of his residents for
others that may have been harmed by healer Thalos. Thranduil did not want to
think about the fact that there could be others, it was shocking enough that an
elf would do such a thing in the first place, and the possibility that it was
done before made him ill.

Erintur entered and walked up
to his father �Well?� �Nai Adar, there are three that were found. Two of them
admitted readily that he harmed them, the other�he said nothing, he just
blinked and became nervous, so I told him to come�

When the three arrived, they
knelt and waited. Thranduil thought of Legolas as he looked upon the three
blond, blue eyed slender archers. Then thought about how they must feel, being
approached with such a hurtful subject, then to be summoned and made to kneel
before his imposing presence.

Thranduil slowly stood and
descended the steps of his dais �Stand and be relaxed. You three were harmed by
healer Thalos in some way?� Two nodded and the other just kept his gaze to the
floor �I would like to speak with you and hear your hurt. I am sure you have
heard about what my son did, that he has fled and his whereabouts are still
unknown. Would you share with me? We could go to my study, only Erintur and
myself would be there, and nothing you say will be repeated�

Two of them nodded and turned
toward the king�s study, the other just silently turned and followed the king
and crown prince. Once there, Thranduil motioned for them to sit, then removed
his robes, leaving himself in only his tunic and leggings, hoping this would
help them feel more comfortable, then sat next to his son.

Erintur poured everyone some
wine and smiled �There is plenty more if you care for it, help yourselves�
Thranduil took a deep breath �Tell me now, you three are archers�where are your
posts?� �I guard your stables�, �I work in the armory and sometimes guard the
east entrance�

Thranduil turned to the third
elf and noticed he was on his third glass of wine and worried his brow �And
you?� The elf kept his gaze down �I take the long watch at the southern border�
Thranduil looked at his son �Is that not a four month post?� �Nai Adar�

The king looked back to the
archer �And where else are you posted� �Tis my only post my lord, I volunteer
for it� Thranduil sat back �Do you not miss your family? Your mate?� �My
parents are dead and I have no mate my lord� The king sighed, �I am sorry, when
did they sail?�

The elf pored himself another
glass �They did not sail, my Adar perished while on patrol, and my
Naneth�healer Thalos often threatened me�telling me he would poison my Naneth�s
tea. When I fought back one day�I found here the next, dead, with her teacup
still in hand�

Thranduil paled and blinked in
shock, thinking about the tea that Thalos suddenly had found for him, and
Legolas�s reaction, then compliance in having the healer check him in his room.
The elf sighed heavily �He had me anytime he wanted after that. I just did not
care anymore. Then, a few years before my majority, he just stopped�

Thranduil shook his head �I
want so very badly to hold you and offer you comfort� The young warrior paled
�I do not react well to touch my lord, it would not be wise for you to attempt
it, though I do thank you for the thought, I fear that I may do something
inappropriate in response�

The king nodded, then slowly
lowered his face into his hands �Ion�how is Legolas going to be from all
this�he is so very young, alone now, and frightened� Erintur gently rubbed his
fathers back, then nodded to the stable guard as he cleared his throat �Nai?�

The guard leaned forward �I
would just like to say, that I admire the young prince immensely. What he did,
well�I wish I had that type of courage and strength when I his age. But now
that I know he was�well, it makes sense to me now, I should have recognized it
earlier��

Thranduil looked up �Recognized
what�what?� �As I said my lord, I guard the stables. I know prince Legolas,
granted not personally, but he used to come to the stables almost every day to
play with the horses, and pet the dogs and such. One of the horses moved
suddenly and knocked him into one of the cleaning rakes. He received a cut on
his calf and I suggested that he should go to one of the healers to get it
checked. His demeanor changed and he quickly stated that he was fine and left�I
should have recognized his fear�

The armory guard gently placed
his hand on his shoulder and whispered �You could not have known, do not burden
yourself with this melanin� Erintur blinked �You two are together?� The archers
nodded �I was drunk, stumbled into the stables and wept against my horse. I
blurted out my fears and woes�and well, he was on duty that evening and heard
everything. That is how we met�

Erintur turned to the quiet
guard �And you, do you also prefer males?� �Nai my prince, I do�or did shall we
say. As I said, I do not react well to touch, so I am alone. Healer Thalos told
me once that he could tell if an elf liked the same or the opposite�

Thranduil furrowed his brow �I
can not help but notice the similarities between you three and my Greenleaf.
You are all blond, blue-eyed, lithe archers�and you prefer the same gender as
mates�so�Legolas more then likely prefers males as well?� The stable guard bit
his lip �From what I saw of the prince, I believe so�

Erintur leaned back �I always
thought he would. For some reason, when I pictured him as older, I never seemed
to place him with an elleth� Thranduil sighed �Hannon le for sharing this with
us. I will speak with the caption, you three deserve some time off�

~*~*~

It had been three weeks, and
Legolas woke with the sensation of hands touching him intimately and cried out
�Adar!� He then slowly looked around and sighed when he realized where he was.
The young prince made his way out of the fissure and sat down. He glanced over
at the pear tree and cringed �I need to find something else to eat�

Legolas took a deep breath,
stood, grabbed his bow, and set out in search of food.
