" Scouts! " shouted Legolas. With his sharp and elvish eyes, he could see every single movement clearly from afar. The fellowship needed such a helper to alert them of oncoming enemies, so that they could have ample time to prepare.
" Let the women leave, let them be safe! " ordered King Theoden whose destination was at Helm's Deep. Eowyn had no choice but to obey her uncle, and lead the women to Helm's Deep.
" Hurry, they are approaching fast on bear-like wolves. " screamed Legolas. He raised his bow and drew an arrow from his arrow pack slung across his back. With a clear aim, he released the arrow. The wolf went down and its rider was trapped. Legolas continued, taking swift yet accurate shots, while waiting for his companions.
The dwarf seemed small as he rode a big black horse by himself.
" Legolas, get on! " shouted Gimli to Legolas as the horse approached Legolas. Legolas took one last shot which brought down a scout and climbed up the horse immediately, sitting right in front of Gimli.
" That's fast! " laughed Gimli.
" It's not the time for jokes, Gimli. Get your axe ready! " prepared Legolas. He drew another arrow and placed it against his bow. The horses, men, elf and dwarf braced themselves for the impact against the fast riding wolves. It was a sickening clash and many riders from both sides fell instantly. Those who managed to get on, continued attacking the oncoming wolves.
The battle was fierce. The fighting spirit from both parties failed to die down. The battle was about to come to an end when the men, elf and dwarf overpowered the wolves and scouts. Legolas looked around trying to find Gimli and Aragorn.
" I am here, right under these wolves! " screamed Gimli annoying. He couldn't stand the stench of the dead wolves. Legolas used his gargantuan strength to push the wolves away and pull Gimli out.
" Legolas, Aragorn! " shouted King Theoden as he rode towards Aragorn. Legolas turned to take a look. He saw Aragorn being dragged by a wolf, with its rider trying to strangle Aragorn. They were heading back to their starting point. Legolas shot the scout, but injure his arm. The scout managed to continue his ride with his wolf dragging Aragorn.
" Legolas, save me! " screamed Aragorn as he disappeared into the woods. Legolas got on his horse and attempted to follow them into the woods.
" No Legolas. The woods are dangerous. We don't know what hides behind the woods. If the scout dares to go in, it might be that orcs or other scouts are waiting for them there! " warned King Theoden who didn't want to risk another companion.
" Aragorn is my best friend! I have to save him! I can't let him die there, under the hands of the scouts or orcs, or whatever that is around! " insisted Legolas.
" I know! I want to save him too. But it's not the time. After our men recover and we settle down, we can find him. " argued King Theoden.
" The King is right Legolas. We will survive this and find Aragorn. Thereafter, we can look for the hobbits and make our way to Mount Doom! You are injured. " persuaded Gimli. There was a deep slash across Legolas's right arm. The wound was still bleeding. Legolas looked at his wound upon hearing Gimli's comment.
" It's nothing. " replied Legolas. Gimli got on the horse and the survivors rode back to Helm's Deep.
" Aragorn, wait for me. I will save you! " promised Legolas silently.
The women had long arrived at Helm's Deep and were awaiting the return of their men and soldiers. Eowyn stood by the gate as she heard the sound of the horses' gallop. The men had solemn faces for they lost many of their friends including Aragorn. King Theoden , Legolas and Gimli didn't dare to look at Eowyn in the eye as they rode past her.
" Let the wounded seek medical attention and get some rest! " commanded King Theoden.
Legolas and Gimli got down their horse too. Legolas was clutching his right arm as the sudden movement from coming down the horse hurt him.
" Are you okay, elf? " asked Gimli concernly. Eowyn rushed over to them.
" Where's he? Where's Aragorn? He survived didn't he? " bombarded Eowyn.
" We will find him. We promise. " answered Legolas. Eowyn's gaze fell to the ground. She was on the verge of tears.
" They couldn't find him, that means he is missing. They don't even know if he is alive or dead. Please, let him survive this ordeal. Please..." Eowyn prayed fervently.
Gimli led Legolas into one of the healing rooms. Tons of people were injured, waiting to seek treatment.
" It's okay, let's go out. " said Legolas softly.
" What?! " Gimli barked.
" There are many more men and women injured during the journey and the attack. I am an elf, not a man. I have my own healing abilities to make me recover faster than men. " explained Legolas as he left the room. Everyone was extremely busy, be it cooking, taking care of children, dressing their wounds or trying to get some rest.
" Aragorn..." muttered Legolas." Where are you? "
" You are still thinking of him? " asked Gimli.
" How can I not? I knew him since he was young and we played together, ate together, explored places together. " cried Legolas as tears formed. He fought to hold back his tears. His friendship with Aragorn was very strong and firm.
" Dont worry. The man will be strong. We will find him! " motivated Gimli.
" Yes, I agree. Let's find the King. He may need us in some of the war preparation in case of an attack. " cheered up Legolas.
King Theoden stood between the walls surrounding Helm's Deep.
" It's close to where the orcs reside! There may be a war to bring the place down if they know of our presence. " stated King Theoden.
" They will. Those scouts and wolves that survived would return to inform Saruman. " added one of the men.
" The war is inevitable. But we don't know when they would come. " said a worried Legolas. No one could predict when Saruman wanted to release his army and get them prepared for war.
