Orcs brought a fire stick close to Legolas's face. Legolas senses the hot flames. He blinks hard to open his eyes. " This filth, he stinks of elvish blood! " an Orc exclaimed. Legolas looks around, shocked to find him chained. He struggles hard, but couldn't break free. He sees the Aragorn right beside him. The orcs walked close to Aragorn, and touched his face. " I dare you touch him! " Legolas threatened. The orcs turn back to look at him, they jeered at him, " oh my poor prince, what are you going to do if I touch him? " the orcs start laughing madly. Without further ado, the orcs left the cell and locked the cell.

The condition of the cell was bad. It was so dark, hardly any sunlight penetrated. It smelt of orc blood, and their sweat. Legolas tries to wake Estel up. Estel moves a bit, murmuring to himself. Legolas continues his attempt, by calling out his name. Estel opens his tired eyes, and sees Legolas. " oh Legolas, what are we going to do? Will we be trapped here forever? I want to see Ada! I want ada! " Estel starts crying. " chill, Estel, chill. Everything is going to be fine. I will protect you. " Legolas comforts. With his special ability as an elf, he could squeeze his hand out of the chain, and he managed to be free. It was hard not to alert the orcs since the rattling sound of the chains was so obvious to his sensitive elvish ears.

He stretches himself to unlock Estel, and set him free. He reminds Estel not to make any noise and pretend nothing has happened. But an orc saw them fidgeting and alerted his other buddies. The two orcs unlocked the cell and walked in.

" What tricks are you up to now, elf and man? " the Orc stared at them. The orc removes his belt, straightens it and whips Legolas's chest. Legolas looks away, preventing the belt from hitting his face, but his chest hurts. " Still dare to play? " the Orc questioned. Legolas wasn't concerned about his injuries. He was more concerned whether Estel could seize the chance to run away. He looks at the open door and the unguarded entrance. Legolas signals Estel to run. Estel nods and makes a dash for the entrance. He looks back at Legolas as he runs. Legolas pulled the orcs back, stopping them from chasing Estel.
