Chapter 13: Crossing into Rohan
It had been three days the Uruki-ki has captured Pippin, and now going toward Isenguard. The groups of Uruki-ki were met by another group of Orcs. They were talking when one of the caught a familiar smell. "What is it?" the leader asked. "An elf woman and man "The Uruki-ki soldier said. "They picked up our trail let's go!" The group started moving and a woman stood up from the rocks above them. The Uruk-ki ran toward the gap of Rohan. "Hurry lets go "Capricorn yelled back toward the group. "Meg slow down your going to fast!" Taylor yelled. They were followed by Mercury, Venus, Isaac Aragon, Gimli, Merry and Legolas who was on Megan's trail.
"No time! We have to go now!" Capricorn yelled back. "She is very adventurous." Venus commented. "I guess it is part of her Capricorn nature."Mercury said and followed the group. Capricorn stopped for a moment stopping on a cliff, and allowing the others to catch up. Legolas stepped up beside her "Legolas what do you see!" Aragon yelled. "The Uruks are turning north east. " Legolas yelled. "Isn't that toward Isenguard?" Megan asked. "Yes but Saruman has been dead for a year. " Legolas answered. "Wait if Chaos brought Saruon back she can bring back Saruman. Oh no" Megan said, and Legolas followed her with the rest of the group. "Rohan home of the horse lords" Aragon said as the group crossed into Rohan.
Running over the mountain, and down the same path the Uruk-ki were going the sun had went down and the sky turned dark, and stars appeared in the sky. "Hey can't we stop for the night?" Isaac yelled "I thought you said you could do without sleep!" Megan yelled back at him. "I did but not for this long! " Isaac yelled back. The group kept going until the first sign of light from the sun. "The sun rises blood has been spilt this night "Legolas said stopping "Blood do you mean Pippin is dead?" Merry yelled. "Calm down Merry we will find him "Capricorn reassured him. " Come on let's go" Aragon yelled running toward the open fields.
Megan yawned a little and Legolas turned to her," Are you tired?" he asked her "Yeah, I'm alright" Megan answered. "Now back before we started you said you had something to say to
me" Legolas said. Megan smiled and shook her head. "I'll tell you when I am ready" she answered him and continued running until Legolas stopped "What's the matter?" Megan asked Legolas. Legolas smiled, and picked her up once she stopped. "Oh thank you" Megan said smiling and Megan's friends watched.
Suddenly a sound of horses coming their way caught the group's attention. "It's the riders from Rohan they must be tracking Uruki-ki as well. "Riders of Rohan! What news from the Mark!" Aragon yelled. The riders changed directions riding toward the group. The riders galloped over to the group and circled them. "Lord Aragon what brings you and your friends to Rohan?" a rider asked. One of the riders started eyeing the girl especially Megan still hanging in Legolas's arms. He jumped down and walked up to Megan. "May I help you?" Megan asked. "Sorry horse master the girl is with the elf" Gimli said. The rider looked at Legolas and bowed "I am sorry I didn't mean to hit on your girl." The rider said to Legolas. Megan's cheeks turned a slight pink color.
Isaac and Taylor chuckled at Megan until she gave them a glare. Aragon looked at Legolas looking at the rider with a serious look. "We were tracking pack of Uruki-ki. They have taken Pippin captive "Aragon said. "You mean this little fellow?" A rider asked, and Pippin jumped off of the horse. "Pippin!" Merry said smiling and the two friends were reunited. "We slaughtered the Uruki-ki and found one of them chasing after him. " Come King Eomer will be happy you have come." The rider motioned for another soldier to him and was pulling four horses with them. "Wait there aren't enough for all of us "Megan said as Legolas lifted her upon one. "It's okay Meg we can walk" Isaac and Taylor said Mercury and Venus got on the blond horse in the middle Legolas got on with Megan and Gimli got on with Aragon and road with the riders to Edoras.
While this was going on deep in Isenguard a meeting was occurring. Saruman was sitting in his chair with Chaos standing in the hall. "Yes this Capricorn she is the one that most troubles you?" Saruman asked Chaos. "Yes but the elf prince won't let you close to her."Chaos answered Saruman smiled "So the elf prince of Mirkwood has a weakness." The two walked through the halls of the tower and started devising a plan to capture Capricorn. "Legolas will die of grief
without her." "What about the others his friends?" Chaos asked smiling. "I will take care of them later." Saruman answered smiling. Chaos and Saruman talked for awhile and walked down to his dark fortress in the ground. "This time our plans will not fail!" Saruman said and watched as more Uruki-ki were being dug up and made. "This time the world of men will fall." Saruman said.
The group finally made it to Edoras following the riders of Rohan toward the castle. Everyone in the two watched as the group came in, and especially at the girls. "Lord Aragon has come finally." One of the farmers said. They were greeted outside by Eomer's sister Eowyn. "Welcome Lord Aragon." Eowyn said to her guest, and noticed the young women with them and the two strange men. "There are more of you girls?" Eowyn asked the girls with Aragon." You have seen one of our friends?" Mercury asked after she and Venus transformed back. " Yes in fact she is staying in the castle with my brother and myself." Eowyn "I believe Virgo is her name." Megan smiled. Legolas jumped down off the horse and lifted Megan off the horse only to see Virgo come out of the castle. "Virgo!" Megan yelled seeing her friend in transformed mode. Virgo transformed back into her normal cloths and was greeted by her friends.
"Hey Meg is that?" Jessica whispered in Megan's ear. Megan nodded "That's Legolas." Megan smiled looking up at him."You're in love with him?" Jessica asked. Megan nodded and smiled more. "Come on girls we are going to see King Eomer." Aragon called to them. "Okay" Megan said and she and Jessica went inside the castle. They walked into the halls of the castle. "Welcome my friends." King Eomer said to them as they entered the palace. "So Lady Jessica there are more girls like you here?" Eomer asked her. "Yes sir." Jessica answered her cheeks turning a color of pink. " Yes my lord" Megan said smiling. " My name is Megan Taylor, my friends are Ami Mizuno, and Minako Aino. You already met my friend Jessica." Megan said " And the gentlemen with you ?" Eomer asked her " I am Taylor Hanson. " Taylor answered " And I am Isaac Hanson." Isaac introduced.
Eomer smiled and looked at his sister " Eowyen please have rooms prepared for our female guests " he said to her. " Yes my lord. " she said. Eowyen smiled and went to go get rooms ready for their guests. " I know why you are here and you are right Saruman has come back from the dead and we don't know how." Eomer answered as Aragon began to speak. " He has already caused trouble in our lands once, and we want to see him gone for good"
After their meeting everyone was shown to a room in the castle, Megan went into a room where it was far away from the others but she didn't mind. " So I heard you and your friend talking." Eowyen said " You like Legolas ?" she asked Megan. " Yes very much" Megan said smiling. " I have a feeling he has feelings for you." Eowyen answered Megan. Megan smiled "I know I feel it too."she thought.
Later that day Eomer was talking with Aragon and finally had made the decision to go to Helms Deep they had went there before when Eomer's uncle king Theoden was alive. " The people will be safer at Helms Deep." Eomer said smiling. " And if Saruman sends war then we are ready for them. Legolas listened quietly something was troubling him and he needed to do something but he would do it later when the battle was over he knew was coming. " Legolas you look troubled ." Eomer said to Legolas. " Ah he's just having lady trouble " Gimli joked. Legolas glared at Gimli. " Go see her Legolas we have time." Aragon said to his friend. Legolas left the room and went to go find Meg.
Megan was downstairs listening until the door opened seeing Legolas coming out. " So are we leaving ?" Megan asked." Yes , but not until morning." Legolas said to her and she and Legolas went outside. " Now tell me what was that thing you wanted to say to." " Only that I truly...I..lo.." she was then stopped by Minako calling her. " What is it Minako " Megan asked. " Nothing I was just looking to see where you were. Oh ! I am sorry were you having a moment?" Minako asked " Yes." Megan said and Minako backed away. " Now where was I ?" Megan asked.
" I lov..." Megan began to say. " Legolas, Lady Megan we have had a change of plans " Aragon called out. " We are leaving tonight !" " Okay I guess I should go get my pack ?" Megan asked with a frown.
