Chapter 1 - The times are changing

The times are changing

Many years had his people lived under the shadow. He had seen how the enemy took more and more of the greenwood, until it was called Mirkwood. And he had wept at the sight of it.
He remembered the long walks in these woods, when his father had yet been king.

Then all had changed again. The battle had been fierce and many good elves had paid with their lives.
But now the shadow held no longer sway over his kingdom. Time would bring healing to his home and his people would live in peace for a while until they would make their journey, for now even they would sail to the West.
Suddenly Thranduil's thoughts turned to his son Legolas, a hero in the Ringwar – and a dwarf's friend. 
Verily, he mused, the times are changing.
