Part Sixteen
“I am never going to be a good archer, Bell!” Legolas had just begun his training with the other young elves of his age.
“Yes, you will. You must keep practicing.”
“You bake bread. How hard can that be? You don’t know anything about being an archer.” Legolas was just learning to read and he thought he must know almost everything by now.
Bell grinned and leaned down so they were face to face. “Actually, I was one of the best archers in your grandfather’s army. If you don’t believe me, ask your father.”
He clearly thought she was delusional but that didn’t stop him from pocketing a couple of her biscuits on his way out the door.
An hour later, he was back, looking a bit sheepish. “Bell, Papa says you are the best archer in all the land and that if I want to learn to be a good one, then I must be nice to you so you’ll give me lessons.”
Bell smiled at him. “You certainly must be nice to me.” She kissed the tip of his nose. “But that is not a problem. You are the sweetest elf in all of the Green Wood. Grab a few more of those biscuits and follow me to the training field. We’ll have you hitting the bull’s eye in no time at all.”
