At the battle in Helm's Deep, Aragorn and Gimli heard Legolas drop his bow. Aragorn turned and hurried to his friend.
" What's wrong Legolas? " Aragorn questioned. Legolas did not reply, but Aragorn could feel him trembling.
Legolas took a while to reply, " I am feeling very cold. "
It was merely raining, not snowing, and Legolas was trembling, it was unusual for elves to feel cold, needless to say tremble.
Gimli stares worriedly at his counterpart, " I will return to the deep with him! " Gimli offers.
Legolas shook his head, and said, " I will continue fighting. I am alright. "
Without further ado, Legolas picked up his bow and took an arrow out and shot the enemies. Aragorn and Gimli looked concerned, but continue fighting, staying close to Legolas. At the end of the battle, Legolas had collapsed and fallen into Aragorn's warm hands. Aragorn lifted him up and carried him back into the deep, placing him near the fire.
King Theoden asked, " Is he fine? "
Aragorn didn't reply, he just examines Legolas. " It is his old orc wound. The poison has begin affecting his health as we feared earlier. " Aragorn looked up as he spoke.
Gimli asked, " Then what should we do? Leave him here? "
Aragorn shoutedloudly, " No! Never leave him here. I will be with him. "
" You, I, everyone know how deadly orc poison can be. We never know if he would survive. It is sad to lose a friend, but how sure are you that he will not burden you? " King Theoden questioned.
Aragorn shook his head and nodded later on, uttering nothing. Legolas, his dear friend, was still unconscious.
At nightfall, Legolas had regained conscious and he seemed perfectly normal, being as jovial as he was, but there is one funny thing. He recognises no one and remembers nothing. Aragorn and the rest thought it was probably the poison effect, and he will remember everything in a few hours time. But they did not expect Legolas's body to be taken over by another soul. Legolas's soul was still lying on the bench where Aragorn laid him. His soul was conscious, looking at him body. His shape elvish eyes, could see through and he realised that it was Sauron who was taking over his soul. Sauron plans to get step by step closer to know the members of the fellowship and kill them one by one.
