Legolas Fireblade   The life of the young elf started in the beautiful valley of Imladris. All he knew about what was before was that he had been found by Elrond and his guards, somewhere in the forest. He was brought in one of the houses near the borders of the kingdom. He lived with a beautiful elf maiden. Soon they become the best friends. They grew together as she was just a bit older than Legolas. Until one day, the day when Legolas met the darkness. One night the two friends stood in there house when suddenly an arrow broke the glass of one of the windows and ended up in the opposite wall. That was a black arrow but Legolas knew nothing about those things. His friend, the elf maiden drew her sword and went outside to see what was happening. She never came back but the attack stopped too. Legolas heard only the voices of the attackers and there sounds louder than those of the wolves. The second day he was brought in the valley by some soldiers of the host. They told him that she was in the Undying Lands. And he understood what these lands were, and he wanted revenge over the attackers, whoever they were. After some time Legolas grew up and joined the host and the border patrols. The patrols were formed of adventurers and soldiers of the host. They were doing what Legolas wanted to do the most, defending the kingdom from orcs. He found out what they were and from where they came from. He hated orcs and Mordor more than ever. He still remembered the voice of the orc-captain from that night and he wanted to get him. In one of the missions the patrols came over an orc camp. Legolas recognized there leader. It was the same captain that killed his best friend. The other part of the patrol managed to kill the other orcs. Legolas was now face to face with the captain. He disarmed the creature and he remembered to the orc about the raid in that night. Suddenly the orc managed to take back his sword. With a fatal sword strike Legolas killed him. But this wasn't enough. The hate for orcs still remained. Legolas lived for some time in The Last Homely House. He thought that those were the most beautiful days after the night of the orc raid. There he made a lot of friends. Now he is a warrior of the host, doing whatever is needed to defend the place he loves the most, Imladris. Also he is an adventurer and traveler, still part of the border patrols.
