A Legend
Chapter Two

Haldir waited for Aragorn to come back and make sure he got the rest he deserved. *He has to much weight on his shoulders-* His thoughts were interrupted by a scream which chilled him to the core. A scream never affected him but he didn’t dwell on it for the scream came in the direction Aragorn went. He noticed the others were awakened.

The hobbits wore frightened faces. While Gimli and Boromir had their weapons at hand.

“What was that.......Where’s Aragorn?” - Frodo

“Gimli follow me, Boromir, keep the Hobbits safe I’m afraid to say that came in the direction Aragorn went” - Haldir

Haldir and Gimli hastily made their way to help their friend. All their thoughts were the same *Don’t let another of my friends fall on this quest*

((((((((((((())))))))))))))

‘Get the guards, search for him.....if anyone returns to me empty handed punishments will be served’ - Thranduil

‘Of course my lord’ - Fathrill

‘And Fathrill I want no disappointments, it won’t only be the guards but your failure would not go unpunished’ He finished, to make it perfectly clear that he made no request.

Quickening his steps, Fathrill went to give the word to the guards on and off duty.

*If anything happens to you I will never forgive myself* That was Thranduil’s last thought as he himself went in search for his son.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Aragorn stood in front of the beautiful elf, sword drawn. Ha had prevented the orc from harming the being by stabbing it through the chest. Thet ocr now laid dead , but it wasn’t over.

“Quickly, climb up a tree” He saw the elf just stared at him, fear and surprise shinning in his eyes *maybe he doesn't understand me* Repeating himself he pointed at a tree. The elf seemed to understand grabbing a branch and pulling himself up the tree, with Silver still in his arms.

Now that he got a better look he could see many ocrs, too many for him to handle. *I have to make a way out of here, away from these ocrs.* Aragorn continued his fighting but knew he couldn’t keep this up, there were to many, soon he will be overpowered.

Legolas was frighten, he had never see such an ugly creature in his life. He knew that an animals’ appearance didn’t matter. However, that creature had a freighting air to it. Legolas was relief to see a figure jump out and save him from it. He thought it was another elf but as he got a better look he saw that the figure was a man. Never encountering a man he didn’t know how to feel. *Should I feel scared or relief.* The man said something but he didn’t hear it, he was still shocked about everything that was happening. The man repeated himself this time he heard it as well as the urgency behind it. Legolas quickly climb the tree, clutching Silver close to him. As he was on the tree he noticed there were more of those foul soulless creatures. *There’s to many, he can’t take them all........he’s gonna run....please don’t leave me alone*

+++++++++++++++++++

Haldir and Gimli made their way to the river. What they saw caused a feeling of relief and panic. Aragorn was still alive but he was fighting to many ocrs. A lot more than one could handle.

“Aragorn what the hell are you doing fighting these ocrs by yourself” - Gimli

“Gimli, Haldir what are you doing here, your suppose to be with Frodo-” Aragorn was cut short as Haldir interrupted him.

“Boromir is with them... I thought you would be relieved to see us, seeing as you have your hands full” - Haldir

Aragorn smiled at his words. Relief was the feeling that flowed through him as his two companions made themselves know. The three continued fighting through the ocrs that were no longer a threat to the three of them. Unbenonce to two of the warriors there was a figure hiding in a tree terrified that the man, dwarf and elf would get hurt trying to protect him.

Legolas was glad when the man got help from a dwarf and elf. *Are they the strangers father was worrying about...If they’re helping me they can’t be dangerous*. He thought as they dodged and struck the creatures. *I hope they don’t get hurt because of me*

(((((((((((((())))))))))

Small groups of elves formed a search party.

‘What are you all waiting for. go! Fathrill, take command until I return’ - Thranduil

‘Of course my lord’ - Fathrill

Thranduil with three other elves left heading towards the river.

+++++++++++++++

Aragorn, Gimli and Haldir were tired from the battle. They were able to chase off the remaining orcs.

“Aragorn, I think we should leave this forest as fast as we can. You were right in trying to leave quickly” - Haldir

Aragorn nodded but started to look up in the trees, looking for the elf he fought to protect earlier.

“What's wrong?”- Gimli

“Nothing, help me look for an elf I told him to hide in a tree” Aragorn

“What-?” - Gimli

A rustle in a tree in front of them was heard. They approached it and saw a shadow hidden behind leaves.

“Are you ok?” - Haldir

((((((((((((((()))))))))))

“What do you think happened to them”- Pippin

He received a smack on his head.

“OOP, why did you do that?” - Pippin

“Because nothing happened to them and you shouldn’t even suggest it” - Sam

“I didn’t mean it like that”- Pippin

The hobbits were about to have another one of their arguments. However that was not to be. They were soon attacked by fast figures moving out of the shadows. And before they knew what happen, Boromir was on the floor with his hands tied behind his back, still conscience. And the hobbits found arrows pointed at their faces.

“Oh man” - Pippin

“Who are you, what do you what?” - Boromir

“Shut up human”- Grandrul

‘Take them back to our camp’ - Grandrul

The elves tied ropes to the hobbits to keep them from running and made Boromir stand, leading them to their camp.

*What language do they speak...it’s not elvish...western...maybe it is elvish...damn it, where is Aragorn when you need him* Boromir thought.

+++++++++++++++++

“You can come down now...no ones going to hurt you...you have my word.” - Aragorn

“I don’t think he’ s coming down...maybe-”- Gimli

“I think you shouldn’t”- Thranduil

The three companions turned around as they heard a voice. They had no time to get their weapons to defends themselves. They were already surrounded, arrows pointed at every part of their bodies. They didn’t move when they realized this.

Thranduil walked around them thinking nothing of them, to worried for his son.

‘Legolas....?’ - Thranduil

‘Father?...’- Legolas

Legolas climb down the tree carefully, Silver still in his arms. He ran to his father hugging him tightly.

‘Im so sorry father.....I thought there really was no danger...I thought’ -Legolas

‘SSHHHH, Legolas it’s ok. I’m not mad. I want you to promise that you will never run off again’ Thranduil said holding back his fear of this happening again and maybe next time he wouldn't be in time.

‘I promise’ - Legolas

*That language again...It’s nothing I ever heard or anything that even exists.* - Aragorn thought.

“We meant no harm. I heard him scream and saw orcs were going to-” - Aragorn

“Silence....Hanloin take them back to our camp and send for the other part of their group.” - Thranduil

“Yes my lord” - Hanloin

They all walked back to their camp.

“I hope these elves aren’t those of the dark ki-” - Gimli

“Silence dwarf you would remain quiet until we reach our camp.”

The group made their way to the main camp of the wood elves. When they arrived Thranduil saw their was no need to send for the second part of the strangers; he saw they were all ready there bound by there hands and guarded by five elves.

‘My lord you found him...we thought they would know but they have yet to speak a word and we were waiting for your permission to continue ...but I see there is no need.’ - Grandrul

‘Your right, there-’ Thranduil

Thranduil was interrupted when a voice spoke.

‘Aragorn, Gimli, Haldir your all right, we thought something happened to you, we were all worried.’ - Pippin

None of them answered because they knew better, they were told perfectly not to speak and encourage by the kicks and punches. Thranduil wasn’t amused that someone dare to interrupt him.

“Leave him be!” - Aragorn

Pippin put up his bound to cover any blows that he was sure he would receive, but there were none. He uncovered his face and felt his hands were no longer bound.

“Grandrul take these children to the maidens, this is no place for them.” - Thranduil

“Yes my lord.” - Grandul

They were surprised by the elfs action, he seemed the type that wouldn’t care for children. Yet Aragorn and Haldir noticed he was the same with the elf from the tree....Legolas.

Legolas stood, Silver at his feet.

“I will take them father” - Legolas

“Go then” - Thranduil

“But we ar-” - Pippin

“Shut up Pip you wanna cause more trouble” Merry whispered to him annoyed at his cousins constant stupidity.

The hobbits followed Legolas reluctantly.

“Come young ones you can’t do anything for your friends....don’t worry they will be fine....if they don’t have hidden intentions. We best not see what happens” Legolas said with a smile trying to cheer them up.

The hobbits hoped they could trust this elf he seemed kind enough.

“Are they going to be ok?” - Frodo

“I already told you they will be, if they don’t have hidden intentions” - Legolas

“They don’t” - Sam

“Then they should be ok.....since you are here.”

The small group arrived at a tent and entered it. The hobbits saw it was furnish, making it a good homely place.

“Not many enter but if they do they can no longer live.” - Legolas

“What!?!” - all the hobbits.

“It is not allowed to let anyone leave but you are children, the forest feels for innocence” Legolas

“What does killing have to do with the forest?” Merry

“Don’t get us wrong younglings, we do not murder anyone....the trees simply think this place shouldn’t be know to others....that way we are safe from the dangers. This forest is special, it feeds on the rays of the Moon giving off life energy to the occupants in the forest.” Legolas

“What.... that is not possible.....the forest kills the people who enter?” - Sam

“You shouldn’t worry to much, rest in here and I’ll make sure your friends won’t get hurt........after all they did saved me.” Legolas said the last part under his breath.

He left the hobbits in the tent, leaving water and food, he was going back to his father.

(((((((((((((())))))))))))

“Why did you enter this forest” - Thranduil

“We were traveling that is all you need to know” - Boromir

“What are you hiding....don’t tell me you hide nothing, I can see it in your eyes, your afraid that I’ll discover something”

They remained silent.
