That's a nice little story, Ellynn. I can well imagine the setting, and I especially liked your description of Aragorn, his fears and strength, through Legolas' eyes. And Legolas absolute faith in his friend is touching, as always :-).

I like the tranquility of this little vignette. It truly captures the feeling of sitting alone at night and pondering past, present and future. It's like time is standing still to give you a moment to consider. And that's how this story feels to me: like a tiny moment suspended in time, standing apart from all the battles and the decisions and the saving of the world.
