Swords were not Legolas' weapons on choice, their fighting style not best suited for his slight frame. But he knew it would be the ideal weapon for Estel; so every since he started teaching the boy fifteen years ago, he had fought exclusively with it, except at times when he used his bow. He wanted Estel to be able to learn by observation as well as instruction. However, as he blocked yet another slash from his former apprentice, he was beginning to wish that he was using his preferred weapons instead.
