This is the sequel to Love and Blood from the Hobbit section. It has been a while since I finished the first book, and for that I am truly sorry. The problem is I had no idea how to start the first chapter. But after locking myself in the library for two days, here is it.

Summary: How did this become like this? I thought losing my father, Thorin, was difficult and when I finally got over him I lost someone else. A war is breaking lose, blood has been spilled and if the Darkness takes over the world it is nothing but ash. The Dark Lord seeks the Ring, but is it true what it says? He seeks something else too?

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or any of Tolkiens work, only Tiaashar.

Chapter 1:

I will die with you

"I love you, does that not mean anything to you?" He asked me. I looked into his grey eyes, his beautiful eyes. It means anything to me. "I know you love me, just as much as I love you." Don't say it… It cannot work.

"Legolas…" I whispered. "I—" He placed two fingers on my lips.

"I don't care what anyone thinks, I care about you," Legolas said. I do love him; I love him more than anything. How did things come to this? I went right into his arms and kissed him. I want to be with him forever.

"We cannot! Do you not understand?" I almost screamed at Legolas. "I am mortal, I don't live as long as you do! I will get old and you will see me die." I waited for his response. Legolas did not look shocked, but I knew I touched a soft spot in him.

"Then I will die with you," he said. What? No… He cannot die because of me. "I will do anything for us to be together, anything!" I took a deep breath and looked down on the ground. I have to say this, I don´t want to, but I have to. Just to make him understand that there is nothing for us anymore. A tear ran down my face.

"Our love is nothing anymore, Legolas. Even I do love you, but I cannot. There is nothing for us anymore." I looked at him and saw how much my words hurt him. "It is nothing but ash," I whispered.

I opened my eyes, feeling I am getting more tired each second. I have not slept very well after our argument. How long have I been sleeping? Why haven´t Aragorn woken me up? I peeked up seeing Aragorn sitting with his back to the cave wall. He is sleeping, heavily too; I can see how his chest rises.

I looked out of the cave and I saw it is raining and soon dawn.

I ate some left over from last night, it was not much, cannot say it was that good either. I sat myself opposite of Aragorn; he can sleep a little longer before I wake him up. Not knowing what to do, I start thinking about Legolas. I closed my eyes and leaned my head backwards. I smiled when I saw his face. But I should not; I should stop thinking about him. It is over…

I opened my eyes and saw Aragorn looking at me. "You were thinking about Legolas," he said. Is it that obvious? He smiled. "When you close your eyes and smiles, you think of him."

"No, I am not," I lied. "I am thinking happy thoughts."

"Of Legolas," Aragorn said and took some of the meat. He is not going to give up… "I see how you smile, I known you long enough now." I smiled when he was not looking. We packed our things and went out of the cave with our hoods good up over our faces.

For days we continued to walk east, across fields and forests, mountains and rivers. "Stop," I said and grabbed Aragorn´s right shoulder and got him down so the yellow corns were longer than us. I felt my heart race more than ever. Aragorn and I peeked over the corns and saw black riders in the forest. We were in the middle of the fields, just about to enter the last forest before the swamps. "Do they know?" I whispered and Aragorn nodded. How can they know? We saw it ride away on its black horse. Nazgûls…

"They are after Gollum too," Aragorn said and stood up, I followed him. "How they know he have had the Ring, I do not know, but we must hurry." That´s where we are going, to find Gollum. Gandalf told us we had to; he might suspect that Sauron knows Gollum once had it.

Shortly after I left Erebor after my father, Thorin, died. Lady Galadriel, Saruman, Gandalf and Radagast went to Dol Goldur. They did not defeat Sauron that was the necromancer, they did not expect it but they got him out of there and now he is in Mordor, searching for the One Ring. The Ring Bilbo found all those years ago in Misty Mountain. No wonder he managed to get passed everything and everyone.

It is nothing but ash… It is nothing… I could hear my own voice saying it. I closed my eyes for one second and let a tear drop down, I opened them and saw Aragorn stand still. I looked where he was looking and there I saw Gollum. Hiding between rocks, on his way from the swamps where we thought he would be. We have been going through this maze of gigantic stonewalls. I looked around and saw I could go around him if I kept my head down. I pointed that way to Aragorn and he nodded. I walked around, keeping my head low and I saw Gollum having his back to me. He was small, thin and very little hair, crawling on all four.

He turned to me and screamed. Damn it! He looked before him and saw Aragorn, screaming even more. I draw my sword, Glawarel, and saw a flying rock hit my forehead. "Tiaashar!" I heard Aragorn say to me as I landed on the ground. I looked on the blue sky and I heard another scream that did not come from Gollum, it went right into my bones. I sat up and saw Aragorn catching Gollum before he turned his head where we saw two Nazgûls. They are so close! I stood up seeing Gollum escaping; I grabbed his arm and knocked him out.

"Aragorn, run!" I said to him. I saw he grab Gollum just as I saw one Nazgûl go after him. The Nazgûl stopped and looked at me, drawing the Morgul Blade. I looked at the blade and then at the Nazgûl and I draw Calithilel, my moonlight. Having both sunlight and moonlight in my hands I looked like I was ready to fight him off, but inside me I am scared to death. I froze when he screamed. I grabbed the necklace around my neck; the one I got from I then saw two others. All right, plan number one: Attack, did not work. Plan number two… Run! I turned on my heels and went down the side of the mountain where Aragorn had just gone, I saw his tracks, it was a small hole but inside it was a big room. Aragorn waited for me with Gollum over his shoulders.

"This way," he said and I followed him, looking back expecting to see the Nazgûls on our heels, but it was nothing only us here. After a while we stopped, I leaned on my knees. Please let this be the last time I will ever see the Black Riders…

"What happened back there? Did you not see I was running?" Aragorn asked and I looked at him. He was taking forth a blanket and let Gollum be on it, he then closed it and tied it up with the creature in it.

"I froze," I said and he looked at me. "I have never seen them before, only heard about them." He walked towards me and touched my shoulder.

"They cannot die, Tiaashar." I nodded, I know that. "Even I hate it, but running is the best option," he said and I nodded. "Let`s go. Gandalf will meet us in the Woodland Realm." I nodded and followed him out of here, yet I still got this feeling that someone is watching us. I looked around, it was no one here but us, but I know it is someone.

"I will die for you if I have to," Legolas said to me. I did not dare look at him. "I will fight for you, I will and you know I will. I love you."

He will die for me… I will die for you… I will die with you…

I crashed into Aragorn when he stopped. He looked strange at me before he looked a head. "There is something in the shadows," he said. He had stopped before the Woodland Realm, Legolas`s home. I can feel it, cold… Aragorn and I looked at each other.

"Nazgûls…" I said.

First chapter in the story: Done.

Feel like this did not go as well as I thought, but it will get better and few more chapters I will get into the LOTR time. This will almost go after the movie.
