Unfortunately, the next week, Legolas had no time for playing with Tauriel. His father, Thranduil, decided to bring in an elvish tutor, so Legolas was not allowed play time for the whole week. At first, he grumbled and whined to his Ada, but Thranduil wouldn't change his mind.
"Ada! Please! Just for one day! Please, please, please?" Legolas whined.
"Legolas..." Thranduil started, "stop fussing. If you keep whining, I won't let you play with Tauriel for a month!" Instantly, Legolas' mouth snapped shut. Thranduil sighed, "Thank you. That's much better. Now off you go. The tutor is waiting."
"Yes, Ada." Legolas scampered away to the library. He walked in quickly, and closed the door.
The tutor looked up from a book, "Ah! My prince, you're here. Are you ready to begin your lesson?"
"Ya...I guess so."
"Well, then go ahead and sit down." The tutor pointed to a chair next to him at a table.
When they were both seated, the lesson began, "Prince Legolas, I would like to give you a quiz on different races of Middle Earth today, all right?"
Legolas groaned, "Okay..."
The tutor, ignoring Legolas' attitude, began giving the questions, "First question, what race prefers "holes" in the ground for homes rather than buildings?"
"Um...let me think.." Legolas tapped his forehead in concentration. "Is it Orcs?"
"Not quite. Guess again."
"Hm...is it Hobbits?"
"Yes! You are correct! Excellent. Now, on to the next question," the tutor looked down at his book, "Ah, yes. What race consists of arrogant, stubborn, greedy, self-"
Legolas cut in, "Dwarves! Stinky dwarves!"
The tutor laughed, "Yes, prince Legolas! Very good! I see your Ada has taught you well. Okay, on to the next question, what race live short lives, can be very foolish, but can also accomplish great things?"
"That...would be the race of men?"
"Correct again! Very good indeed! I think that will be all for the quiz. You have passed with flying colors!" the tutor smiled at Legolas.
"Yay!" the little prince squealed.
"Now, on to the next subject. How about reading? What have you read lately?"
"Um...I read a book about dragons, and I also read a book about the races of Middle Earth." Legolas readjusted in his seat.
"Wonderful! I'm glad to hear that you are reading. Here," the tutor handed Legolas a book, "begin reading this, please."
Taking the book from his hands, Legolas opened up the book, "Middle Earth Legends." he read, "Chapter one. There are many m-m-yths"
"That's myths." the tutor encouraged.
"Okay...myths. There are many myths in Middle Earth. Some of them include, Balrogs, The Ring of Power, and Mithril." Legolas continued.
He read for a while, and at last, his lesson was done. As soon as the tutor dismissed him, the energetic elfling hopped out if his chair. He hurried out the door after thanking the tutor politely. The tutor smiled to himself as he watched the little prince go. He saw many things in Legolas, one of them being, a great king.
