Düwil's plan for destruction had fallen to an abrupt end; only three Elves had been killed. Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir were forced to rest for weeks.

Elladan healed first, and the only thing that spoke of the ordeal was the fading bruise on his cheek.

Elrohir got out of bed on a clear, cool morning. His arm could now be moved without pain, and he could move easily also. He walked out, and Aragorn watched as the Elf grabbed a bow off of the bedside table and strode outside. He knew what Elrohir was going to try to do.

Elrohir had formerly been one of the best archers that either Rivendell or Mirkwood had ever seen. Now it was to be determined if he still was. He walked out to an empty field, Aragorn watching from a window.

The man watched, holding his breath as Elrohir notched the arrow, aiming for a tree. He let the arrow fly, and stared until it fell at least twenty feet from the target. Elrohir, his disappointment obvious, took a dagger and threw it at the tree. It landed dead center. Elrohir threw another, and another, and all of them stuck in the bark.

A few minutes later, Elrohir walked into the room, grinning. He knew Aragorn had been watching. "I think I quite like the knives better, anyway," he said. Aragorn smiled back.

Legolas was able to get out of bed a few weeks after Elrohir discovered his new talent. He walked with a heavy limp, still, but the scars from the glass were fading, with the exception of one that went down the middle of one of his ears.

One of the healers predicted it would stay there for good, and Legolas was somehow glad that this was the only thing to remind him of Düwil.

Elladan, Elrohir and Aragorn left a little over a month later, to return to Imladris. Legolas saw them outside, and they all thanked him for the adventure, considerably sarcastic.

As the twins and Aragorn rode away, something in the courtyard caught Legolas' eye. He walked over, and picked up a tiny cat, black and white, with blue eyes.

Legolas carried it towards the doors, finally leaving the past behind him.

Okay, I know I was really bad at updating this, and that it really wasn't that good. But I'm writing a new story, about...well, I'm writing a new story. It should be finished sometime next week and then I'll post the chapters every other day. So keep checking back, I know the first chapter will be out by the 17th, and after that every other day (not including weekends, I can't post on weekends or on days when I don't have classes. So I can't post the week after next. . . the 20 somethingish week? But that's the only week I can't.) Thanks.
