One of my fellow-Legolas-obsessors asked if he died in the Last Battle. I told her that he didn't because Eowyn, after dumping Aragorn, falls madly in love with him and saves his life by stealing one of the wraith's flying steed thingies and sweeping him out of the way just before Sauron tries to stab him. Then Legolas and Eowyn share a passionate kiss while flying over the war-ravaged lands and escape to the undying lands because Frodo fails (Sam betrays him and makes a deal with gollum to murder him because they want the Ring) but know that they won't be safe forever because Sauron thinks that Legolas stole the ring and vows to kill him and so it ends up being a huge romantic tragedy... Explanation for my actions? Just watching my friend freak out and have a nervous breakdown and cry all over her Legolas posters... The shock of finding out Legolas gets a girlfriend and then dies only comes in her worst nightmares. Sometimes I think I can be really sadistic...
