Thranduil's Son

Thranduil rushed through the caverns, hoping he wasn’t too late. Today was the archery competition, and Legolas was one of the newer contestants to try his luck. The prize was a long bow and quiver of finely made arrows. This was also Legolas’ first contest, and at last report, his son was only a fair shot. But, as with most things, Legolas had a lucky streak in him. Maybe today would be fortuitous for him.

He reached the archery field just in time to see his son win the competition. Pride filled his heart as his son accepted his prizes.
