"Legolas!" A soft voice called, followed by a little laugh. "I got you! " the same voice cried in triumph. "Naneth! Put. Me. Down!" The little voice, Legolas called. "To bed!" His mother said amusingly. Laying the smaller ellon on his bed.

 "Aw. Will you at least sing me a lullaby?"

 "You're one thousand one hundred and fifty two, do you need to-" the elven lady was cut off by her impatient son.

 "I'm only eight in human years Naneth." He begged. 

 "Alright then."

Goodnight, 

Goodnight,

It's time now to sleep,

 The moon's watching over,

You and your dreams.

A cry rang out. A sword slashed. Chaos was in the air. 

It was orcs against elves.

A great battle had begun.

"Stay with the others!" The king ordered. 

"But I can fight Thranduil."

"You will die."

"I've fought battles before!"

"Not when we have a son counting on us."

Goodnight,

Goodnight,

My sweet little one,

Tomorrow your eyes,

They will light up the sun

"There's no time for discussion. I'm joining in." The Queen spoke as she grabbed a sword and headed into the swarm of orcs. 

Soon the elves were outnumbered.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The king soon had to shout, he was devastated at the loss of his warriors. As he turned to go back, he heard a cry for help. As he turned back, he realized he had made a grave mistake. The Queen, was under a giant orc, a hand clutched her stomach as she fell down. She was dead. The love of his life, gone, like mist.

But goodnight,

Goodnight,

Sweet dreams for now,

Drift off to sleep on your pillow of clouds.

"Where's Naneth? " Legolas jumped up and down, looking for his mother.

Thranduil pulled him aside.

 "She's gone Legolas. She's gone."

 "You lie! She's probably just around the corner. Waiting to scare me!" Legolas would not believe it, he could not believe it! His mother would never leave him. Never! 

 But then he saw her body. She was pale as moonlight, her armor glistened in the sunlight. It was like she was on a cloud of silk. It was a tragic sight. He remembered her last words to him the night before.

Goodnight,

Goodnight,

My sweet little friend,

Tomorrow's adventures they will soon begin,

Tomorrow's adventures will soon begin.
