Dannen Gwend

Chapter 2

Legolas slashed yet another orc's neck with a knife before turning to find Aragorn standing behind him. The man was swinging his sword with a murderous glare in his eye as he killed the creatures of evil that stood before him. Not once did he look back at the one he called brother.

"Archers! To the wall!" Theoden yells of the noise. Immediately, the elf dashes to the wall, drawing an arrow.

"Legolas! Dago han! Legolas!" Aragorn yells to his friend. The elf shoots, one arrow lodging itself in the beings shoulder. He aims again, loosing the arrow and driving it straight into it's heart. The Uruk continues on, launching itself into the bomb under the bridge with the force of a thousand oliphaunts.

The explosion sends the entire wall up into the sky in pieces, among the downpour being many men; including a ranger.

"Aragorn?" Legolas yelps as he watches the man fall from the sky, losing sight of him through all the stone. As he attempts to hop the wall to help the man, a stray Uruk body falls on top of him and he slowly feels himself falling into unconsciousness. A stone had hit him in the head as he had fallen.

"No..."


He awoke many days later, lying on a bed in the infirmary of Helm's Deep. He slowly sat up and glanced around the large, crowded room. Aragorn was not here. The elf could not hear his voice among the chatter, hear his footsteps amidst all the frantic running, see his head above all the others, feel his soft touch as he sat beside his injured companion.

But, if the man was not here...

Where was he?
