Tauriel and Bard make a precious half-Elven baby with archery skills to rival that of his/her parents!
Yeah, this is hella late and probably hella short - I’m sorry nonnie :(
“Uncle Legolas!” A voice cried out. Legolas hardly had time to prepare himself before a curly haired sprite attached herself to his waist.
“Hello little princess.” He said, grinning lightly. Gwend giggled, her red curls shaking.
“Come and see my shooting uncle! I’ve gotten so much better since you were last here!”
“The Prince has others things to do first little love.” A voice called from the top of the stairs. Both Legolas and Gwend turned to see Tauriel - former Captain of the Guard and dowager Queen of Dale - watching them both with a smile on her face. Gwend pouted, looking so much like her second half sister that Legolas nearly melted, but he managed to contain himself to a promise to find her later.

“But Legolas - he’s a Dwarf.” Tauriel laughed, falling back against the back of her seat. The Greenwood Prince scowled good-naturedly.
“I do not know what madness came over me, but I am glad it did,” He smiled, “is it worth it though? That is all I ask.”
Tauriel became quiet. Legolas couldn’t help but look at the longbow that held pride of place mounted on the wall. The bow that fired to lone Black Arrow that killed the beast Smaug. The bow that had been without an owner for the past ten years.
A shriek of laughter broke through the quiet of the room. Rushing over to the window, Legolas smiled to see Gwend running around the courtyard being chased by the child King of Dale, also named Bard. Tauriel joined him.
“I think…I think it is worth it, mellon nîn, but there will be pain in your future…”
Yeah…that meandered a bit…
I hope you enjoyed it!
