Prologue
Legolas dropped to the ground in his tent. He could feel the cold, hard ground below him. Exhaustion kept him from getting up to get a blanket. Another battle was over he didn't know how many more there would be. He and the group of Elvin warriors he led were quickly losing all traces of hope that kept them alive.
The dominion of men was upon them. But few men cared to share Middle Earth with those different from them. These men became the Rahzie. They were full of corruption and killed or captured anyone that wasn't human. Any human who fought against them also suffered this fate.
A war broke out between them and the Slycans. The Slycans are men that have a thirst for power. They didn't care who was on Middle Earth with them as long as long as they had power over them.
Few kingdoms remained as the war progressed. All hope sailed away with the ships to the undying lands. The women and children went first but few men made before the ships stopped returning. No one knew why they didn't make it back.
The last of the elves were led by Legolas. They were driven by rage out of all that had happened and by hope. Whether it was hope that the ships would one day return or that one day this war would end they did not know. But that hope was quickly fading.
Legolas's attempts to keep them away from the horrific battles that befell around them were all unsuccessful. It seemed that they fought every day. Their numbers were severely diminishing as everyone wondered what was to become of them.
The elves didn't know what happened to the rest of Middle Earth's inhabitants. They once felt that they had formed there own armies. Mimicking the elves actions. But as the elves struggle went on those thoughts faded out of mind and more appalling thoughts entered into view.
Legolas and his warriors never spoke of this aloud. They all tried to shove their fears and nightmares to the back of their minds. It was easier to deal with something if you never thought about it. It also made room in their minds for the hope.
But Legolas knew that if there wasn't a turn of events soon, it wouldn't be the dark thought in the back of everyone's minds.
