CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

The Plains of Gorgoroth were horrendous every foot fall kicked a small cloud of dust up; the terrain was all rock and pebbles. So uneven that it was difficult to stay upright at times. All suffered falls and trips, so all were more careful where they put there feet.

Dust covered everything coating even the insides of there mouths, Will felt like heaving his guts up. The further they walked the hotter it got and the more noxious the fumes became.

The sky was a dirty washed out purple colour, never quite day and never quite night. Time lost its meaning with nothing to show it passing.

They only stopped for sips of water and to force down a bite or two of lembas. Both Thranduil and Celeborn worried about Will who though a strong man. Didn’t have the advantages of being an elf. Will ignored them both and led the way.

A tower black as pitch came into view, perched on its top was a fire which burnt with a sickly red and yellow glow.

“What in high heaven is that” Will choked out, his arms were grabbed and he was pulled behind a large boulder.

“Quiet, that my love is Sauron’s eye” whispered Thranduil.

“It doesn’t look like an eye to me” Will said doubtfully.

“We’re not on its best side” Celeborn murmured.

The fiery eye moved and Will found himself at the bottom of an elf pile. The three lay very still there cloaks covering there silent forms. After what seemed like hours Celeborn lifted his head cautiously to find the eye turned away from them once more.

They untangled themselves and moved to the better cover of a semi hollow boulder a few yards away from there original hiding place.

Will collapsed with a sigh the air was bitter in his lungs, “Where do we go from here?”

“Its time Rex went for a walk” Thranduil’s tone was quite serious.

“Not without you, either of you” Will clarified.

“Be sensible Will” bit out Thranduil “you can travel faster and safer while alone in that form.”

“Except I don’t know where I’m going plus I have no wish to leave you to god and good neighbours.” Will’s eyes were watering.

“We’ll be fine Will, Thranduil is right the ring must come first” Celeborn put in calmly.

“Mount Doom is within sight now, just head for that bloody big mountain” Thranduil ordered Will brusquely.

“I hate you both” Will whispered hoarsely as he began to strip.

The dirt smudges stood out on his pale skin along with the scrapes and bruising. Even the Mithril chain was looking tarnished; all eyes went to the ring which was still shining brightly.

In a sudden movement Will grabbed the front of Thranduil’s tunic, “Survive damn you or I’ll hunt you down myself.”

Will kissed Thranduil with brutal passion and then roughly pushed him away.

“The doorway on the summit leads to a fiery pit drop the ring in it” Thranduil instructed his lips bruised and bitten.

Will glared at both elves and changed before there eyes in a matter of moments. He padded away from them and didn’t look back.

Watching Thranduil put his fingers to his lips and they came back bloody. Celeborn stared in shock as the truth dawned on him.

“It is little enough to pay to save a world I love” Thranduil told him softly.

“A world that could very easily despise you both and call you cursed” Celeborn replied quietly.

“I have to believe they are worth saving” Thranduil licked his lips.

“What should we do now?” Celeborn murmured.

Thranduil grinned a little madly, “I’ve no idea.”
