Challenge 3: Meeting your soulmate in an unusual way.
Pairing: Thranduil x reader
—————————————————————————
It was your first time to visit mirkwood, you were ordered here to treat the sick elk from king Thranduil, being one of the best veterinarian in middle-earth is only good enough for the elvenking.
You were an Elf from Lord Elronds land, Rivendell, you have heard a lot of different story’s about Mirkwood and his King, he was cold as ice since the lose of his wife. Who wouldn’t be? You decided to make your own picture of him.
Setting your first step into mirkwood you could feel the dark presence, you have heard rumours about a curse which lays on the forest. Without an escort by your side, and your sword and bow, you make your way into the forest.
You could hear the forest scream in pain, since you were born you could feel and hear much more then the normal elves, animals and plants, it was like they could speak to you without using word’s. Well it could be one of the main reasons you have become a vet, you also could cure humans, but most of the times you just stick to animals. They couldn’t lie and they didn’t need a reason to.
Hearing stomps and the cracking from branches you make yourself ready, your hands already on your bow and one of the arrows, ready to draw it and hit his target. Whispering, and you could see a spider looking at you out of the tree. One second later, out of his head right in the centre, where sticking your arrow, falling lifeless to the ground you approach it and stick your arrow back in your quiver.
Walking deeper into the forest you kill about 20 of the spiders before hearing footsteps again, but those where not spiders, readying yourself for a fight again, holding your breath.
Seconds later you had 20 arrows pointed at yourself from elves from mirkwood. Pointing your arrow at the leader, blond white hair, blue eyes like the sky, “Do you always welcome your guests like that, prince Legolas?” You smirk at him, never leaving him out of sight.
His lips drawing into a smile his head tilting, the guards lowering there bows, “I am sorry lady (Y/N), we thought you would come in company with some guards from rivendell. Only seeing the corpse from the spiders we found, we assumed maybe we had an unwanted visitor.”
“I declined getting company from the guards, I like to travel alone and like you could see, the spiders weren’t a problem.” you say while looking into the forest.
“I thought you were only a veterinarian, I apologize.”
You laugh and everyone where now looking at you “Don’t apologies, you aren’t the only, or the first, one who underestimate me and I must say that it is definitely an advantage, but not for my enemies.”
His smile now even bigger as before he makes a bow before you looking at you while saying “May we escort you to my father, Lady (Y/N)?”
You nod “Of course my prince.”
He walks besides you “Only Legolas please.”
You look at him and smile “Only if you call me (Y/N).”
He laughs and nod.
Reaching the end of the forest without meeting any other spiders, you could see the great Kingdom which where build into the mountain.
“Beautiful…” you whisper to yourself while looking at the big beautiful wooden doors which were magnificent build.
Legolas smiles and lead you through the Kingdom in the direction of the rooms “My father is already awaiting you (Y/N).”
You come to an hold “I am sorry but I would like to check on his moose first please. The king can wait, but maybe the illness from his elk is getting worse.”
He looks at you shaking his head while laughing “May father can wait? I will gladly tell him that.”
Calling an guard he tells him to show you the way.
Legolas makes a quick bow and turns to head to his father. While you were walking in the direction of the stables.
….
Legolas shakes his head and couldn’t stop smiling because of you, telling his father, the king, to wait because she wants to check on his elk first.
The guards in front of the doors bow to Legolas and open the doors to the throne room.
His father were sitting on his throne reading some papers, he rise his head to look at his son.
“Ada I came to tell you that the veterinarian is here for your moose, Lady (Y/N) from Rivendell.”
Thranduil looks at him “And where is she?” he said coldly “Shouldn’t she be with you?”
Legolas laughs, his father raising an eyebrow, not understanding what his son thinks is so amusing.
“She said she wanted to go to your moose first, because you could wait and he couldn’t.”
His father resting his head in his hand, his lips going into a light smile “Well I will check on her and see how my friend is doing.”
Legolas nods and turns around still smiling.
“Ion, I need you to go and check our borders, some guards said they have seen orcs sneaking around.”
“Yes Ada.” He says without turning around, coming to an hold when his father add some more “Legolas, I want you to only check the borders and coming right back after, take some of your man’s with you, that’s an order.”
“Of course ada.” Legolas says while already leaving the room.
Thranduil shakes his head at his son’s need for adventures, reading through the papers his mind is shifting to you, he couldn’t wait meeting you, the maiden which says he could wait and his dear friend couldn’t.
…..
You found the cause for the kings moose illness immediately, he had a simple stomach hurt because of something odd he had ate. He hadn’t been able to eat for nearly 5 days, something were sticking in his stomach which were the reason for all this.
“Hello pretty boy, would it be okay if I give you some really bad tasting medicine without spitting everything out again? Don’t tell anyone I said the medicine tastes bad.” You say smiling at him, caressing his neck, the moose rubbing his big head against your body.
“Easy boy, you don’t want me to get stuck in your antler, that could get really painful.” Laughing he blows some air out of his nose agreeing with you.
Taking the medicine bottle in your left hand you cut an Apple into half and drop some on it. “Okay I know you don’t want to eat anything because your stomach hurts really bad, BUT I promise this little magic apple helps you to eat your tasty food again, I am sure you are starving aren’t ya?” Smiling and caressing his head the moose turns his head away looking at you and breathing heavily.
“Come on don’t be so stubborn, I am sure your owner is just as stubborn as you are, but believe me I am much worse than you two, so eat the magic apple, please? I promise you it will stop hurting after this.”
Holding the apple out for him he looks at you, breathing air out of his nose a little annoyed “Don’t give me that and eat that apple okay?” You say looking at him with a stern gaze. He takes the apple in his mouth, keeping it in, you throw your arms around his snout holding it closed so he couldn’t spit it out again.
“Swallow!” You say in an harsh tone, letting it sound like an order. He gulps heavily and you let go of him, caressing his forehead.
“Good boy, I would say it didn’t taste that bad but I would lie.” Kissing him on the nose he stomps his right leg, scratching his hoof on the flor of the stables, and rubbing his head against your body. You laugh as you hug his big head and he lifts you up.
“Looks like he is doing better already.” A deep voice behind you says.
Getting your feet on the ground again you turn and look at Thranduil who is standing in front of you, his hands crossed behind his back. He was breath taking beautiful, an mix of softness which you could see in his ice like eyes and the strong presence and appearance from a soldier and a king.
“So lady (Y/N) what’s your diagnosis? What’s wrong with my friend?” he says looking at you out of the corner of his eyes, while going to his elk saying hello. His moose answers on his caressing with a happy stomp and a rub of his head on him.
“Ehm I wouldn’t get to near to him..” you say while going a few steps away from those two.
He looks at you questioning, raising an eyebrow “Pardon?”
“You should reaaaally step back king Thranduil.” You say warning him a last time.
He looks at you before you two could hear his elk roaring and throwing up, right on the kings shoes, you couldn’t help yourself and burst out into laughing.
He looks at his elk and you totally disgusted and shocked, you can’t stop laughing, holding your stomach and crying “I-I am sooo sorry, but I warned you.” You try to say without laughing.
“Well! You could at least say that otherwise he is going to throw up on me!” He says shocked and you burst out laughing again.
He looks at you again, and starts joining your laughing. You two nearly laugh for 10 minutes till a guards come to check if everything is alright. They haven’t heard the king laugh for a long time and all the guards who could hear you two, were happy to see what you were already doing with him, changing him.
You look at each other both smiling, while you could nearly see the whole kingdom brighten up.
“I should probably change while you should take care of the rest.” Thranduil says amused and disgusted at the same time.
Chuckling while saying “Yeah that would definitely be good, you can join us two anytime.” Smiling brightly.
Replying with a smile “I am going to think about that, I don’t know what happens the next time I approach you (Y/N).” Walking past you, taking a last glance at you, he leaves the stables and could still hear you laughing in his hall’s, and he decided that he definitely don’t want to miss it.
“…but I am curious to find it out.” He whispers to himself.
