Summary : Written for [community profile] tolkien100 challenge Halls of Stone

Legolas walked with Aragorn at the rear of the sombre group.

Ahead, the steady tramp of Gimli’s iron-shod boots echoed in the dark as he walked at Gandalf’s side.

Unlike the dwarf, Legolas saw no beauty in the carefully hewn tunnels nor in the cavernous halls where unfriendly eyes could watch their progress through the depths of the Misty Mountains.

He longed for a cloudless sky, green trees and the smell of warm earth, not the dank reek of black rock.

For once, the long knife at his belt and the slender bow in his hand gave him scant comfort.

Great Drabble. But interestingly didn't Legolas grow up in the caves under Mirkwood?

Not in the least like his father's halls. I can imagine Legolas feeling very uncomfortable in Moria. Bravo.

I can easily understand him feeling like that.

Rather different from home - goblins for one ;)

Very atmospheric.

This was rather poignant. Well done!

Not a joyous time for Legolas!
