He did not mean Galadriel was speaking of his own death. (Legolas)

Funny, I always took it to mean just that. It was my understanding that Legolas believed that Galadriel's message portended the Prince of Mirkwood's demise, when in fact it was a prophecy that the Sea-longing of his people would be awakened in him. After all, "Beware the Sea!" does seem rather ominous.
For obvious reasons, as Gwaihir stated, Legolas would not die upon reaching Valinor. I am, however of the (entirely non-factual) opinion that the mortal members of the Fellowship who departed across the Sea were somehow granted immortality by Iluvatar. I suppose I should not say that I am of that opinion, but I like to think that it is possible. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
