Legolas had been sent out to see what has become of a visiting group of elves.

But, what he discovered, was very worrying and sad.

The wagon had been attacked by beasts, and from the look of it there was no survivors. That is, to the look of a human eye.

Legolas glanced around till he heard a small sob, coming from a basket.

He quickly walked over and lifted the blanket. "My, hello little one." He said and gently picked you up.

You sobbed as you saw your deceased parents on the ground.

Legolas gently bounced you in his arms, as he started back for his father palace.

You continued to sob, and cry, holding right to the man who found you. "Mama! Daddy!" You cried out, in anguish.

Legolas walked to the throne room.

"My son, what has become of our visitors? And who might this be?" Thranduil asked of him.

"They were slaughtered by wild beasts. This young boy/girl was the only survivor." He replied.

"That is quite unfortunate, send the child to a new family." He said.

By this time, your crying had died down as you listened to the conversation.

You did fully understand everything they were saying, but you understood enough to know they were going to send you away.

You looked up at Legolas pleadingly. "Nwo." You begged holding tight to him.

Thranduil looked at you. "Legolas, take him/her away." He said firmly.

Legolas glanced at you sadly and carried you out and away from the throne room.

You teared up and gripped onto him tightly. "Nwo... tay.." You cried softly.

Legolas looked at you sadly, then made a hard decision that would probably get him kicked out of the town.

"I won't leave, I promise." He said softly and snuck down to a friend of his, house.

"Hello Legolas, and who is this cutie?" She asked.

"Well, I don't know if she has a name. What's your name?" He asked you.

"Y/N." You said a little jumbled up.

He smiled softly. "I need some supplies, I'm leaving with her."

His friend nods. "I'll get you a bag packed." She said and left to do so.

Legolas smiled at you. "I will keep you safe, always." He promised.

You nod and sucked on your thumb as you stayed close to him.

Soon his friend came back with everything a two year old would need for a long trip.

He quickly thanked them before heading back to his room packing a few things, grabbing his bow as well.

He wrapped a cloth around him and put you in it, so his arms were free. Quickly leaving his home.

You snuggled close to him as the long journey began.

Legolas headed to a village of Elves he knew would accept both of you. Rivendell.

After a month or so you had happily settled into your new home, with a father who loved you.

But, as you became more comfortable around everyone, your mischievous side came out.

"Y/N!? Where have you gone?" Legolas called through the house.

You giggled softly and you crawled further under the bed.

He looked around and saw you under the bed. "There you are!" He smiled and took you out from under the bed.

"Wov daddy!" You giggled and hugged him.

Legolas smiled, kissing your forehead as he held you close. "I love you, always."
