In Lothlórien, Glorfindel had just finished up a meeting with Lord Celeborn when he had a message come to him inside his mind. Celeborn saw the look on the seneschal's face.

"I just got a message from Master Elrond. Estel has become ill and needs my help. I have to go to him because he collapsed in great pain and they do not know what is wrong. It is urgent that I get there. "Glorfindel started to pace the room and was wringing his hands. "I knew this day would come." He looked at Celeborn and said, "My Lord, I have to leave now. I am going to send a message back to Elrond that I'm coming." He stood facing in the direction of Imladris with a blank stare on his face.

"I must go." Glorfindel worried about Estel. He was sure the young man had greatness in his future. 'This was not supposed to happen!' he thought angrily.

"My Lord." Glorfindel bowed to Celeborn and left.

Though Legolas had many other duties, Haldir invited him to show some of the trickier shots he had mastered to the troops, Legolas could not refuse. Legolas' skills were legendary amongst the elves. He had always known that he was the best of his clan.

Glorfindel arrived at his talan and started to pack for his journey. He sent a message to Legolas and Haldir that they should accompany him to Rivendell. 'Has it started?' he wondered.

"Glorfindel, you sent for us?" Haldir asked.

The Prince of Mirkwood staggered into the talan behind Haldir and collapsed. He clutched his stomach as a wave of pain shot through him. Glorfindel rushed to him.

"Haldir, run and get me a sedative from the healers." Glorfindel said urgently.

Glorfindel placed Legolas on the bed and examined him, noticing that his eyes were closed and his legs drawn up to his stomach in pain. This was not good. Healthy Elves slept with their eyes open. Haldir arrived just in time to see Legolas clench his stomach as another pain shot through his body.

By the time the Lady of Light and Celeborn entered, Legolas had been given a sedative, but no one knew what caused the pain. Glorfindel came up to Galadriel and explained.

"I have an idea of why this is happening. When I was with Celeborn earlier, a message came from Rivendell saying that Estel collapsed with what sounds like the same pains. Elrond doesn't know what to do but I think I do. I have always wondered why I was sent back to Middle Earth after I fought that Balrog in Gondolin. Now, I feel it is because of Estel and Legolas. Somehow it is tied in with Estel's coming of age next month and the last elf-born in Middle-earth. I must go if I'm to keep both of them alive." With that said, he bowed to both the Lord and Lady and got ready for his journey.

As Legolas laid in a soft bed covered up with a blanket a warm liquid entered his mouth and he relaxed.

Somehow he was in a garden leaning up against a tree. Off in the distance, he seen a beautiful young man enter. He was not very old because his face was devoid of beard and his hair hung longer than his shoulders. He was dressed in a white tunic. The young man started walking across the grass. There was nothing on his feet because the ground was very soft. His legs were long and muscular. Legolas wasa little curious about him. That's when he seen that the features were beautiful. But he noticed that he was no elf. He was a man. How can this be!

Beside Legolas on the grass was a blanket. Where did that come from? When he looked up he seen the man right next to the blanket. The man took off his tunic and laid down on the blanket. Heat started to well up in Legolas and noticed a tightness in his groin. Legolas reached around his neck and pulled his tunic off. He laid down on the blanket and faced this beautiful man.

They looked into one another's eyes and were lost. Somehow this felt right. Legolas brought up his left hand and stroked his mate's chin. He noticed a scar on his upper lip.

His blanket mate disappeared. He was gone just like that. Legolas sat up and looked around the field. He couldn't find him.
