Mayleea stabbed an Orc through the heart just as the horn of Gondor echoed through the trees. Mayleea's head whipped around as Legolas could be heard yelling, "The horn of Gondor!" then Aragorn, "Boromir!"

Mayleea's head spun as she darted forward to find the young man of Gondor. Aragorn, Gimli and even Legolas, who like her, possessed the Elven power to move quickly and nimbly between Orcs and trees, were stuck behind a wall of enemies. Mayleea, however was free to follow the horn to Boromir.

She was fast enough to get there when he was still blowing the horn. She slid to a stop on a hill and quickly surveyed the scene. Boromir was backing away from an army of Uruk-hi, his sword flashing in the sun. Merry and Pippin were behind him stabbing out with their small swords whenever one of the Uruks got past Boromir.

Mayleea felt adrenalin running down to her fingers as she pulled an arrow and let it loose. Her Elven made arrow moved easily through the branches and embedded itself in one of the Uruks back. He cried out and fell back dead. His death caused all the other Uruks around him to turn and look just in time to see another arrow pierce their comrade's eye.

They looked up to see Mayleea shooting until she was out of arrows. She then pulled her two long knives and raced into the group of enemies. She made her way to Boromir through the fat, smelly Uruk-hi and when she got there, she went around to the other side of the Hobbits and began defending with all her might. After a few seconds of this, Boromir called again for reinforcements, but the horn blast was cut short.

Mayleea turned for one second and saw an archer on the hill. She almost jumped for joy, thinking it was Legolas, but on closer inspection she saw that it was a Uruk-hi. It had its sights trained on Boromir, who was preoccupied with defending the Hobbits to notice. Mayleea make a quick decision and jumped in front of him just as the archer let loose his arrow.

It had hit her in the shoulder before she felt the pain. Boromir caught her as she fell back from the force. He eased her to the ground and continued fighting. Mayleea felt the pain now, but knew they would all die if she didn't get up. She managed to stand and pick up her knives. Boromir smiled and pushed the Hobbits back.

Mayleea killed no more than three enemies before she heard another arrow leave its string. She jumped to take it for Boromir, but she didn't get there in time. Boromir took it in the chest and fell to his knees. His body was riddled with two more arrows, and Mayleea caught one more in her leg.

They both were on the ground now watching the Uruks taking both Hobbits prisoner. The big archer who looked to be the leader told them to start moving, and came to stand in front of Boromir and Mayleea. He raised his sword and stood ready to bring it down on Boromir's head. Even in the face of the sword and essentially death, Boromir stood. He was truly a man of courage. A man of Gondor.

Suddenly, as the Uruk brought his sword down, an arrow came straight through his left eye. Mayleea looked around for their savior, and saw, on a hill almost 3 miles back, Legolas standing still holding his bow ready.

Mayleea breathed a sigh of relief as Boromir fell back. Since she was behind him, she had no choice but to catch him. She let him lean against a tree and turned to start working on getting the arrows out, but he caught her hand.

She looked up into his eyes green eyes and was afraid of how calm they were.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Don't take the arrows out. You need to get yourself healed."

"Boromir, my wounds are superficial. In my shoulder and leg. If you don't get healed you will-"

"I'm going to die," he said bluntly. "There is no need to waste valuable time on me."

Mayleea said nothing as she tried to get the arrows out anyway, but he grabbed both her hands in one of his.

"Stop," he said sternly. "What do Elves do when one of them dies?"

"What?" I asked confused.

"Elves. What do they do at funerals?" Boromir asked.

"There is a song," Mayleea said slowly. "It talks about the ships coming to take us home."

"Show me," Boromir said.

Mayleea wished she didn't have to. She didn't want him to die, but somewhere deep down, she knew there was nothing she could do to help him, and getting "Into the West" sung to you before you died was one of the greatest honors in the Elvish world. Mayleea sighed and took Boromir's hand, and began.

"Lay down

Your sweet and weary head

Night is falling

You have come to journey's end

Sleep now

And dream of the ones who came before

They are calling from across the distant shore,"

As she sang the word 'shore,' her voice broke making tears stream down her face, but she kept singing, because Boromir's eyes were locked on hers.

"Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see

All of your fears will pass away safe within my arms

Your only sleeping,"

Boromir laughed at the first two lines because they were incredibly ironic, because she was the one crying and not him, but Mayleea sang the last two lines with convicting passion.

"What can you see

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

All soles pass."

She took a shaky breath and noticed without looking that Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli had come up behind her, and were listening quietly. Only Legolas had heard that song and knew what it meant, but Gimli and Aragorn could put it together. As Mayleea's angelic voice rang out above the sounds of the nearby waterfall, the rest of the forest was quiet.

"Hope fades

Into the world of night

Through shadows falling

Out of memory and time

don't say, "We have come now to an end."

White shores are calling

You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms

Just sleeping."

The chorus was supposed to come next, but her voice broke, so Legolas took up where she left off. He came and knelt next to her and put his hand over Boromir's heart.

"What can you see

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home."

Their voices then joined into wonderful harmony.

"And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

All souls pass

And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

Into the west."

It was Mayleea who sang the last five sentences and ended with a gentle kiss on Boromir's forehead.

"Auta e'a i' numen edan en' Gondor. You will be remembered as long as me and my children shall live."

And with those last words to him, Boromir passed. Mayleea drug her fingers down over his eyes and closed them, then bent and put her head to his and said a quiet prayer.

Legolas put a hand on her back as she began to sob.

Ok guys remember to review! Also I have been thinking lately about making this more than just a one shot. Tell me what you guys think! Thanks.
