Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

I am Elrond.

In the 6000+ years of my long life, I probably never imagined that this day would come.

Elves and humans fall in love. The number of times this kind of thing has happened in tens of thousands of years can be counted on one hand. In the recent short period of 30 years, I have witnessed two incidents with my own eyes!And I am quite familiar with three of these four parties.

Right now, I have extremely mixed feelings about Anila and Aragorn...

Ask yourself, I am absolutely benevolent to these two children. During the 20 years of raising them, I have loved and loved them as if they were my own. To me, they are no different from my own daughter and son.

"Your attitude towards your own daughter and son is not the same." Glorfindel stood at the door, "If Anila fell in love with either Eledan or Eloheh, wouldn't you feel relieved? many?"

"Nonsense!" I glared at him and reprimanded displeased.

How can it be?Elaidan and Elohir are also my sons, if one of them is willing to give up eternal life for Anila, I will naturally... I will not agree... right...

Glorfindel secretly rolled his eyes and turned away.

As early as more than 30 years ago, I could vaguely see that Anila had a good impression of Prince Legolas of the Mirkwood, but the two of them had never met each other before. I was quite surprised to draw the portrait of Legolas so accurately without meeting him. As for Anila's obvious youthful feelings, I thought it was just a young girl's instinct for the excellent opposite sex in adolescence. A kind of heartbeat, just like every girl has dreamed of having her own prince, because Anila's daily life and study seem not to be affected by this feeling at all. After a while, I gradually No more questions.

What bothered me even more was the encounter between Aragorn and Arwen 30 years ago.

They fell in love, it was love at first sight.From their eyes, I clearly saw the fiery feelings they couldn't hide.

But no father would want his daughter to marry a man who made her give up so much, and Arwen should have left here with me to see her mother again, and the light of the Evening Star will shine forever in Valin promise.

I think I can understand Thingol's reluctance to marry Lucian to Beren.

But Aragorn is also the child I grew up with, and I would not be cruel enough to let him do the almost impossible task of picking the Silmaril from Morgoth's head, not to mention the difficulties he has to face Not a little milder than Morgoth.

So I just told him euphemistically how huge the identity gap between him and Arwen is, and now that the darkness is coming, he should fight against evil with Anila instead of indulging in love between men and women all day long.

Anila returned to Rivendell the year the Battle of the Five Armies took place.

"I have heard that Gandalf is uniting with the dwarves to take back the Lonely Mountain," she said. "Ada, I am planning to go with them."

At that time, I just wondered why Anila got involved in the dwarves and dragons. She said that it was because of the strategic location of Lonely Mountain, and this trip was of great significance, but she didn't let Aragorn go with her; He secretly laughed at Gandalf in his heart for thinking that he was doing things secretly, but even Anila, who was thousands of miles away, heard the news and rushed back early.

It wasn't until I was about to write a letter to Thranduil to ask him to pay attention to this matter that I just picked up the pen and remembered: Mirkwood, isn't Legolas there?

However, I am not sure that Anila went this trip because of Legolas. Besides, even if Legolas was one of the reasons that made her decide to go to the Lonely Mountain, maybe it was just because of Anila La just wanted to meet the elf that had always appeared in her dreams.After the matter is over, they should have nothing to do with each other.

After the Battle of the Five Armies, I received a reply from Thranduil, which mainly described the specific situation of the war, and also complained about how much damage the war caused to the Woodland Kingdom. How obviously praised Anila, and then said that he had let Legolas leave with Anila.

So I feel relieved, Thranduil has lived for thousands of years, and has seen countless people, if he thinks that there may be some special feelings between Legolas and Anila, he will never allow such a thing occurring.

Another 20 years later, Thranduil and I were severely slapped in the face.

"I have made my decision, ada." Arwen wrote to me, "I would rather choose the fate of a mortal and spend the rest of my life with Aragorn than see the vicissitudes of this world alone."

"..." Are you completely neglecting me and your mother, Arwen?

"I saw Legolas and talked to him." Glorfindel said, "I hope I was wrong this time, otherwise, Legolas' feelings for Anila might not be so strong." simple."

"..." I had to quickly look for Thranduil's letter from back then. This was the red thread he drew himself back then, and it wasn't my daughter who abducted his son.

Right now, I'm in talks with Legolas—

"..."

"..."

"Say what you have to say, Lord Elrond." After a long silence, Legolas said helplessly, "I can more or less guess that you want to tell me that Anila and I are not suitable. Right?"

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows slightly.

"Before you, Lord Glorfindel and Anila's mother, Lady Gillean, both talked to me about this matter." Legolas said, "They all reminded me that if I fell in love with Anila, I would What are the consequences, I understand, it will be a very painful thing. Even if there are many good memories, the final outcome is cruel and hopeless."

"Oh, so?" I asked him with a smile, "What do you think now?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, and now I really can't make up my mind to bear the consequences." Legolas said frankly, he lowered his head a little dejectedly, "You also think I'm weak...or even hypocritical, Lord Elrond? I thought I loved Anila, but I couldn't make up my mind to sacrifice for her."

"The consequences of your sacrifice cannot be fully borne by you alone, so it is normal for you to have such thoughts." I nodded to express my understanding, "Not all Arda elves can care about the final result, the truth is In fact, it’s rational to feel hesitant, and that doesn’t mean you’re not brave.”

"But if you really love someone, you will be willing to do anything for her, won't you? Just like Alvin..."

Oh no, why did he mention Alvin?I felt the veins on my forehead twitch.

"Since you yourself don't think you love Anila that much, why don't you tell her?" I asked him, "Your future is still very long, Your Highness, you will definitely meet someone who is most suitable for you both in body and soul." But Anila is just a human being, her youth and life are short, if you don’t plan to reciprocate her love, please make it clear to her immediately, I believe Anila will not cling to you Smash."

"She really won't..." Legolas muttered to himself, he fell into the memory briefly, then looked back at me, and looked away within two seconds, probably because he was guilty, and his voice was Weakened, "But..."

I already had a premonition that what he said next was definitely not what I wanted to hear, and my temples couldn't help but twitched again.

"But I don't want to give up easily." He said in a low voice, "I really love Anila, and I am willing to follow her anywhere. If she speaks, I am willing to accompany her to venture into the Doomsday Volcano. I can give up going to Aman Continent for her, I can even die for her without hesitation, but I..."

I watched calmly as he searched desperately for words to prove his love for Anila, with red eyes and incoherent speech.

"I understand what you mean." I replied calmly, "As long as someone accepts your love, the sacrifice is actually not that difficult. The really scary thing is that you have borne all the bitterness alone, but no one can share it for you, nor The loneliness is really unbearable when there is no one to be grateful for and try to reciprocate."

"I'm not..." Legolas tried feebly to retort, but couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"But if you really love Anila, leaving her is the most important thing you should do now." I said, "Since the birth of humans, there have been three recorded love stories between elves and humans..."

The closest couple to now are my grandparents Tull and Idril Celebrindor, but Tull is the only human who is counted as the firstborn child of Iluvatar, and he gained immortality, Lived forever in Valinor with Idril.

The most famous couple is my great-grandfather and great-grandmother Beren and Lucian, and Lucian finally chose the fate of human beings and obtained the special power of death.

"You and Anila have no comparison with them," I said to Legolas. "Neither Anila has the right to immortality like an elf, nor do you have the right to die like a human."

And the pair before that is my mother-in-law Lady Galadriel's elder brother Agnor and Beren's grandfather's sister Anles. This is the only example of an elf man and a human woman falling in love, but their final result is Not as happy as their descendants, Aignor foresaw his own death, so although he knew that the two loved each other, he retreated, and An Lisi finally lived alone. life.

"Anles once said to Finrod, Aegnor's brother, 'For human beings, the end has always been cruel. If my short youth fades away, I will not bother him anymore; if I can no longer run with him , nor do I stumble like an old woman after his brisk steps.'”

"But, Aignor's love is not only for An Lisi's youthful beauty, isn't it?" Legolas asked, "Even if she gets old, he will still..."

"So Finrod replied to her: 'Naturally, Egnor will not run in front of you again, he will stay by your side to support you. But you will still feel misfortune, Anles, and this misfortune cannot be avoided , and Aegnor would never disgrace you." I said, "Perhaps because you love Anila, Legolas, you don't mind her wrinkling and shambling steps after a few years, but Anila looks at your face that will never change, have you ever considered her feelings? She is a descendant of Isildur, the heir of the Numenor royal family, don't you know how strong her self-esteem is? "

Legolas stared at me blankly, completely silent.

"Let Anila become your fondest memory. When you sit in the palace of Mandos in the future, you will still recall her bright eyes and smiling face when you first met, and Not that heartbreaking ending." I took a deep look at him one last time, pulled out a letter from the desk and handed it to him, "It's from Mirkwood. Legolas, you should go home."

Legolas left Elrond's study in a daze, wandered around aimlessly for a while, his thoughts were like a mess.

Does he really love Anila?Can this love really make him endure the loneliness and pain that will last forever after a hundred years of love?Or, as Lord Elrond said, he just couldn't bear not to be rewarded for what he gave?

Is it really the best choice for him to leave Anila?Either to himself or to her.

It's actually very simple, isn't it?As long as you follow Thranduil's order and return to Mirkwood, and never ask anything about the outside world, Anila will naturally disappear forever in this world in another 200 years.

……

disappear forever...

Legolas lay on his back on the grass, his eyes watering from the sun, and he threw an arm over his face to block the sun.

He just lay there quietly for a long time, didn't want to get up, and no one came to disturb him, and no one even passed by here at all, as if the small world he was in was isolated from the outside world.

If only that was the case, he thought vaguely.

After a while, Legolas finally heard the footsteps of someone approaching here.

I hope he leaves me alone, he thought.

But his wish came to nothing, the man walked straight towards him, his steps gradually became lighter, and finally stood by his side.

"Legolas?" Anila called him softly.

His heart froze, but he couldn't move his whole body for some reason.

"Are you asleep?" Anila whispered.

Then it was quiet for a while. If he hadn't heard Anila's footsteps leaving, Legolas would have thought that there was no one around him.

Until a burst of warm air suddenly brushed against his cheeks, and at the same time he heard Anila's slight breathing, right next to his ear, very close at hand.

Does she want to kiss him again?

Legolas couldn't laugh or cry, it wasn't the first time Anila tried to kiss him secretly, he blocked her the first two times, and now he should have stretched out his hand and gently pushed her away.

But his arm didn't listen to his brain at all, he couldn't move it stiffly, his heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably, his breathing almost became disordered in Anila's regular and soft breath.

Anila was getting closer and closer to him, and eventually they were even closer than they had been in Rohan, and if Anila moved an inch closer, they could feel the soft touch of each other's lips.

But Anila stopped.

She found out I wasn't asleep?Legolas' heart, which was still beating so fast just now, seemed to stop at this moment.

Then Anila's breath faded away and she left.

Legolas suddenly felt a great void.

A light garment covered him, and Legolas heard Anila get up and walk away.

Legolas maintained the same posture just now, listening to the sound of Anila's footsteps fading away, until the sound almost disappeared, he suddenly jumped up and ran in the direction Anila left.

"Anila!"

Anila stopped when she heard the sound, and looked back at him in surprise: "Did I wake you up? Sorry."

"No, I have something to tell you." Legolas felt his voice tremble.

"What?" Anila asked with a smile, her eyes fixed on him.

"I'm going back to Mirkwood." Legolas said, miraculously, his heart suddenly stopped beating violently, as if it wasn't him who said the words, he heard his own voice, calm Hiding a trace of despair, "Also, I love you."
