"We must hold to this course, west of the Misty Mountains, for forty days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. From there, our road turns east, to Mordor." Gandalf said.
Blaze stretched her arms in front of her glancing up at the clear blue sky. They were taking a break on a rocky landscape. She watched as Boromir began teaching Merry and Pippin how to sword fight. "Two, one, five," Boromir said as he moved his blade slowly which Pippin blocked.
"Move your feet," Aragorn said smoking his pipe.
"You look good Pippin," Merry said, standing to one side.
"Thanks," Pippin replied, Boromir turned to him and did different movements.
Blaze listened behind her to Gandalf and Gimli, she was trying to remember what happened next in the film but kept coming up blank.
"If anyone were to ask for my opinion, which I note they are not, I would say that we are going the long way around," Gimli told Gandalf who was smoking his pipe. "Gandalf, we can pass through the mine of Moria. My cousin, Balin, would give us a royal welcome," Gimli said.
Blaze looked back at the two of them. She could see that Gandalf wasn't happy with the idea. "No, Gimli. I would not take that road through Moria unless I had no other choice," he said to the dwarf.
Blaze heard Boromir accidentally catch Pippin's hand. She heard Pippin throw down his sword, tackling Boromir with Merry. She looked at Legolas and saw him jump from large stone to stone and looked out into the skies. Sam stood up and followed Legolas' eyes.
"What is that?" he asked.
"Nothing. It's just a wisp of cloud," Gimli said, also looking, but not as closely.
Blaze looked at the cloud and saw with every second that passed more detail came to her.
"It's moving fast against the wind," Boromir said worriedly as he stood up.
"Crebain from Dunland!" Legolas shouted.
"Hide!" Aragorn said urgently.
Blaze ran underneath a low bush and stayed still. Legolas joined her and they both heard the others hide. What felt like half an hour, but what turned was only a few minutes, passed. When the Crebain left Blaze stood up in the bush. She heard Gandalf stagger to his feet.
"Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched," He looked at Aragorn, turned to the others before he gestured to the mountains behind him. "We must take the path of Caradhras,"
Blaze groaned looking up at the large snow covered mountains. ''Must we?'' Blaze asked frowning.
''Yes indeed, unless you wish to find yourself at the hands of Saruman.'' Gandalf said as he adjusted his hat and robes before moving around the small group to make sure they were all prepared to move out again.
"Yes indeed, unless you wish to find yourself at the hands of Saruman, bullshit! I KNOW there is an easier way than this," Blaze mumbled lowly to herself as she trudged through snow behind Aragorn, giving him a smack on the shoulder when he started to chuckle.
Stupid snow! All those times I complained that we didn't get enough snow at Christmas, I take it all back! I've had enough snow to last me a life time!
A groan and a thump drew everyone's attention to Frodo as he tumbled down past Boromir before Aragorn stopped him. "Frodo, are you alright?" Aragorn asked helping him brush of the snow as he reached around his neck for something that wasn't there. Blaze looked at Boromir as he picked the ring up, dangling on its chain.
"Boromir," Aragorn called watching the other man carefully as he raised the chain up to his face.
"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt, over so small a thing," He slowly reach up his other hand, completely mesmerized by the gold band hanging on the end of the chain. "Such a little thing."
"Boromir! Give the ring to Frodo," Aragorn called out, making the said man halt in his Endeavour to touch the ring. Boromir looked confused for a moment, before he walked down the slope, holding the chain out for Frodo, who snatched it away from him the second it was within his reach.
"As you wish, I care not," Boromir said chucking a little whilst ruffling Frodo's hair, before turning back around and continuing the trek up the slope. Blaze watched him carefully before glancing over to Frodo and Aragorn, the latter of which only just releasing his grip on his sword. Blaze sighed shaking her head before started to head back up the trek.
The whole Fellowship struggled through a blinding blizzard, up towards the pass of Caradhras. Blaze turned around when she heard a light crunch of snow from behind her. She saw Legolas walking next to the group on top of the snow and he barely left footprints behind.
"Lucky Elf," Blaze muttered hearing Gimli grunted in agreement.
Legolas paused in front of Gandalf who was leading the way, trying to make a path with his staff. "There is a fell voice on the air!" Legolas said urgently, loud enough for everyone to hear, but quiet enough not to disturb the fresh snow above them.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf yelled. There was a sound of thunder as rock and shale fell from above them. Legolas moved to the rock wall to his left as the stone fell by him.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain," Aragorn said urgently. "Gandalf, we must turn back!"
"No!" Gandalf said as he raised his staff and began to chant into the wind. "Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho I ruith," he yelled. (Sleep, Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath.).
Whatever it was Gandalf was saying didn't stop Saruman, a crack of lightning sent snow and ice crashing down upon them. Just as Blaze was about to threw herself against the mountain side she spotted Pippin slip out of the corner of her eye. ''Pippin!'' She called making a dive for him, wrapping her arm around him as the snow crashed down sweeping them off the side of the mountain.
Everything was silent until a blond head penetrated the snow soon followed by the others.
"Is everyone alright?"
"I'm okay."
"Not hurt."
"'Twas just a wee bit of snow!" A sort roll call sounded off with everyone stating their condition.
"Here's Bill!" Sam calls out and after a few split seconds of silence Merry called out.
''Where are Pippin and Blaze?''
''Blaze! Pippin! Where are you?'' Aragorn's voice called above the howling wind, as Legolas looked over the cliffs edge into a dense cloud bank.
''Hey guys!'' A cheery voice called, they all spun around wide eyed, both Aragorn and Legolas letting out sighs of relief.
Poor Pippin had his arms wrapped around Blaze's waist in a death grip, as Blaze hovered ten feet in the air slowly descending, her wings gently flapping in the wind. Once they landed Pippin he jumped down to the ground kissing the snow before spitting it out.
''Oh sweet, sweet ground my feet will never leave you again!'' He cried, Blaze rolled her eyes.
''It wasn't that bad Pip, would you rather we had fallen to our deaths?'' She asked raising a brow but the hobbit chose to ignore her and continue to praise the ground that had made him fall in the first place.
"Gandalf we must get off the mountain! Make for the Gap of Rohan and take the west road to my city!" Boromir cried to Gandalf, who still stood at the front of the line, looking wise but tired.
"The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard!" Aragorn debated hastily.
"If we cannot pass over the mountain, let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of Moria," Gimli belted out, his accent heavy over the snow. Gandalf paused for a moment, as if remembering a nightmare.
"Let the Ring-bearer decide," he said finally. Frodo looked up startled before turning to Sam confused.
"We cannot stay here! This will be the death of the Hobbits!" Boromir roared over the blizzard. Frodo remained silent, his eye brows furrowed.
"Frodo?" Gandalf called out to the little Hobbit, who took another look around his comrades.
"We will go through the Mines," Frodo said hesitantly, Gandalf closed his eyes and sighed.
"So be it."
"Mines? As in tiny and dark? Closed in spaces?" Blaze asked slightly panicked.
"Yes that is generally what a mine is." Gandalf answered. Gimli snorted.
''Will that be a problem, Milady?'' Boromir sneered. That man is so looking for an ass kicking!
"YES! That most definitely is a problem! I'm claustrophobic! That means I have a fear of tiny, dark, closed in spaces! I feel like I can't breathe!" Blaze snapped flailing her ams and wing around for effect.
Merry blinked, ''I guess the stories were wrong, dragons ARE afraid of some things.''
''Yes, the dark.'' Pippin added, Blaze turned on the two of them.
''I am not afraid of the dark! I'm afraid of dark closed in spaces, there's a difference!'' She snapped the two Hobbits smiled innocently slowly backing away.
"You'll survive!" Aragorn laughed, turning to follow Gandalf, who only sighed.
"It should be the Elf we should have trouble convincing."
oOo
Thank you Valar we are out of the snow! I could have sworn I saw the Abominable snowman up there! Gimli tapped on the wall to his left, listening. Gandalf was doing the same, in front of Gimli.
"Dwarf doors are invisible when closed," Gimli said, still tapping.
Blaze smiled to herself. Great that means it will take longer for us to get into the mines.
"Yes, Gimli, their own masters cannot find them if their secrets are forgotten," Gandalf said, pausing in his tapping.
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Legolas said. Blaze tried hard not to laugh out loud and succeeded. Gimli sniffed with disgust and continued to tap the wall.
Gandalf approached a smooth area of rock between two, twisted, trees. His hands brushed the stone and slowly lines appeared in the stone. "Isildin it mirrors only starlight and moonlight," He turned around as the moon rose over the mountain. The lines became broader and clearer forming a glowing arch of interlacing ancient letters and symbols.
"It reads, 'The door of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter,' " Gandalf said, pointing with the top of his staff to each word.
"What do you suppose that means?" Merry asked.
"It's quite simple. If you are a friend, you speak the password and the doors will open," Gandalf said confidently. He turned to the door and chanted. "Annon Edhellen, edro hi ammen!"
The doors remained closed as a cold wind whistled by. Gandalf tried chanting again. "Fennas Nogothrim, lasto beth lammen."
"Nothing's happening," Pippin said.
Gandalf glanced at him, annoyed. He began to push on the door, but they remained closed. "I once knew every spell in all the tongues of Elves, Men, and Orcs," he said, slightly annoyed.
"What are you going to do, then?" Pippin asked.
"Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words," Gandalf said, irritated.
Blaze frowned at him, ''Don't be so mean were all tired, but that's no reason to take it out on Pip for asking a simple question!'' She scolded him.
oOo
''Blazey wayzy wake up! We need to talk,'' A voice called.
''Bugger off,'' Blaze responded barely registering that the voice was one she knew.
''You know, after four years a 'hello' would be nice, now open your eyes.'' Blaze blinked a few times before her eyes shot open and she jumped to her feet.
''Holy crap! Autumn!'' She stared wide eyed at her dead twin. Who smirked back at her.
''Hey Blazey, long time no see.'' She said in usual perky voice. There wasn't much of a difference between the two girls, where Blaze would wear dark colours like red and black, Autumn would wear bright colours like blue and white, she also had longer hair then her sister that reached her mid back and without any highlights.
''But your? How did? Aw crap am I dead?'' Blaze asked placing her hands on her hips.
''Not exactly, your hearts still beating, but your spirit is deciding to talk a little stroll.'' Autumn replied giving a one shoulder shrug.
''What are you talking about?'' She asked sighing; she nodded her head behind me. Giving her a confused look, before looking over her shoulder, Blaze let out a small gasp, she was sitting against an old tree asleep.
''What the hell?'' She looked around realizing we were outside the doors of Moria, everyone was just sitting around waiting for Gandalf to figure out the password. No one seemed to notice them as they floated on air. Blaze mover over to Legolas and Aragorn waving her hands in front of there faces but to no avail; it was like she didn't even exist.
Blaze frond and went right up to Legolas' ear as Autumn floated to the other side of him looking amused, Blaze sucked in a deep breath. ''LEGOLAS HELP! THE TWINS ARE RUNNING AROUND BUT NAKED AND ARWEN IS ON THE ROOF THINKING SHE CAN FLY!'' She screamed, His brow furrowed as he looked around then looked at her sleeping form.
''What is it?'' Aragorn asked, curious to the elf's behavior. Legolas turned to his friend shaking his head.
''I thought I heard Summer screaming something about the twins being naked and Lady Arwen thinking she could fly.''
Aragorn's lip twitched. ''Legolas she is sleeping like a baby, your ears must be playing tricks on you, my friend.'' He said dismissing the situation.
Autumn laughed hysterically through the whole thing as Blaze glared at her. ''Geez, lighten up would you? This is just one of those dragon things. I guess you could say your in the spirit world, He's cute by the way.'' She said looking at Legolas.
Blaze sighed shaking her head. ''Autumn focus please, now why are you here?''
''What? I missed my sister. Is it so wrong that I wanted to see her?'' She asked shrugging, ''So, have you kissed him yet?''
''Autumn!''
''What? he is single,''
''Autumn!''
''If I were you, I would have jumped him the minute I saw him at the council.''
''Autumn!'' She yelled glaring venom at her sister.
''Okay, okay, I was just saying,,, hun I'm already dead you can't kill me, especially not with death glares.'' Blaze sighed shaking her head, 'Same old Autumn, dead or alive'
''Anyway I just came to tell you that you are getting close to obtaining an element, and a word of advice,'' She said holding up her finger, Blaze sighed.
''And what would that be Sis?'' Blaze asked crossing her arms over her chest.
''Only use it in small amounts, It's like alcohol if you drink too much and once you will end up regretting ever opening the first bottle.''
Blaze rolled her eyes, ''You had to use an alcohol reference?''
''It was the only thing I could think of,'' She shrugged.
''So what is this element anyway?'' Blaze asked out of curiosity.
''I'm not telling you. Oh, and by the way once this whole thing is finished, I really think you should stay in this world,'' Autumn said.
''And why do you say that?'' Blaze asked causing Autumn to scoff.
''One thing sis that you and I know quite well, our dear old bro Cole.'' Blaze gritted her teeth in frustration.
''And what about Jack? I can't leave him to deal with Cole on his own.'' Blaze said stubbornly.
''Ha! Frosty the snowman can take care of himself just fine.'' She assured before she looked back over to the Human and the elf. ''Besides this world has its props.'' She smirked.
''Autumn leave elf boy alone.'' Blaze said giving her sister a warning look.
''Why? You interested?''
''Ugh, don't you have some poor soul to torment of something?'' Blaze wined, Autumn gave her a blank look.
''What does it look like I'm doing?'' She asked before looking at the door frowning.
''They're going to get that door open in a minute so get ready.'' Autumn said and started to float away but quickly stopped and turned around snapping her fingers. ''Oh, I forgot to mention all of your knowledge of what is going to happen in the story is being erased, and have a goodtime in the mines!'' She called disappearing as Blaze was about to scream bloody murder after her.
Blaze sat up from her spot under the tree glaring off into the space Autumn had been, she grumbled and walked over to Aragorn and Legolas.
Aragorn looked at her questioningly her annoyed look. ''What is troubling you?'' He asked.
''My sister, I'm going to strangle her if I get my hands on her.'' Blaze grumbled making a motion to chock someone with her hands.
Legolas raised a brow, ''I thought you said that she has passed?'' He said.
''She has but it is her fault that I am claustrophobic and she is now haunting me!'' Blaze grumbled looking back at the stone door. As her two companions exchanged confused looks.
''How exactly is it her fault that you're claustrophobic?'' Aragorn asked
''When we were small we were playing in a big bouncy castle, I was in the back and Autumn decided it would be fun to find out what would happen is she turned of the pump that kept the castle up.'' Blaze frowned looking at her two companions that looked confused; she smiled slightly rolling her eyes.
''Imagine being trapped inside a castle when you were small and it started to collapse in on you.'' She explained, there eyes widened in shock but before they could comment the doors opened.
The rock face silently divided in the middle and two great doors swung outwards, revealing a blackness that no outside light could penetrate. Everyone picked their things up and began to enter Moria.
Gimli walked next to Legolas and Blaze. "Soon, Master Elf, you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves; roaring fires, malt beer, red meat off the bone! This, my friend, is the home of my cousin Balin and they call this a mine," he snorted in contempt. "A mine!"
Gandalf's staff erupted in light, covering the entire chamber in its glow. Everyone recoiled in horror. There were many dwarf skeletons lying about. All of them were clearly dead from some old battle; there was rust on amour and shields were peppered with arrows and axes.
"This is no mine, it's a tomb!" Boromir said grimly.
Gimli went to one of the skeletons. "Oh no, no, no!" Gimli moaned in horror.
Legolas pulled a crude arrow out of one of the skeletons and looked at it. "Goblins!" he said, throwing down the arrow and drawing his own.
''What like green little guys with pointy ears and major personality problems?''
''Are there any other kind?''
Everyone else pulled their swords out and began to back away. "We make for the Gap of Rohan. We should have never of come here," Boromir said, and for once I agreed with him.
''I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Gondor boy here! Lets go!''
Frodo let out a yelp as he was pulled to the ground and towards the lake. Frodo let out a cry as Boromir and Aragorn raced forwards. Aragorn cut at the tentacle causing the thing to let go of Frodo.
More tentacles came out and pushed the others away from Frodo and grabbed him.
''Why the hell is the Kraken here? This is Lord of the rings! Not Pirates of the Caribbean!'' Blaze yelled dodging a tentacle went to hit her.
After a few minutes had passed the others ran into the mine with Frodo in Aragorn's arms. The Kraken thing pulled the doors down, blocking the entrance. A faint glow came from Gandalf's staff. The light cast an eerie glow upon Gandalf.
"We now have but one choice, we must face the long dark of Moria, be on your guard. There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world,
Quietly now, It's a four day journey to the other side, let us hope that our presence may go unnoticed," He warned as he walked off to lead the way.
Blaze felt her head getting heavy and her sight blurring as the walls closed in around her. She cursed lightly to herself placing her head in her hands talking in deep breaths, cursing herself and Autumn the whole time. She felt and hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Legolas looking at her concerned, she smiled lightly at him.
''Don't worry about it, I'll be fine as long as I keep my footing,'' She said, walking off mentally adding 'and pretending I'm in a giant meadow or something.'
"Why in the name of Valar did the dwarfs have to make giant steep stairs? And better yet how the hell did they climb them everyday?''
Gandalf stood at a fork in the path with three possible passages. He frowned. "I have no memory of this place," he said.
Everyone sat about; all of them were doing something to keep themselves occupied. The men smoking their pipes, Pippin complaining about how they were lost and he was hungry. Blaze was raking her head trying to restore memories that her sister had taken from her when she spotted something out of the corner of her eye in the gorge below them.
Blaze stood up in one fluid movement and turned to Legolas who was closest to her he was also looking down at the creature.
''It's Gollum he's been following us for three days now.'' He said not taking his eyes off the creature.
Blaze frowned. ''Gollum? As in that five hundred year old nut case? Great, I'm never going to be able to close my eyes in case he shows.'' She pouted as Legolas chuckled.
''Do not fear I will protect you.'' He smirked as Blaze raised a brow.
She turned her head and heard an exclamation from Gandalf. "Ah! It's that way," he said pointing at the right hand tunnel. Everyone scrambled to their feet.
"He's remembered!" Merry said, relieved.
"No," Gandalf corrected. "But the air doesn't smell so foul down here. If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose!" Gandalf said with a laugh as he led the Fellowship down the stairs.
Gandalf led them under an arched doorway in a black place that seemed empty of life and light. Gandalf paused. "Let me risk a little more light," he said, tapping his staff sending a fresh wave of light around them. "Behold! The great realm and Dwarf-city of Dwarrowdelf."
Everyone was stunned by what they saw. "Well, there's an eye opener and no mistake!" Sam said.
It was then that they started walking. They had walked so far that if Blaze could no longer see the entrance to the hall. She heard Gimli loudly exclaim.
"Gimli!" Gandalf said, warningly but was ignored as Gimli ran toward a doorway where sunshine could be seen. Everyone followed and saw Gimli on one knee and crying before a stone box.
Gandalf walked passed Gimli and read the inscription on the box. ''Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria. He is dead then. It is as I feared,'' Gandalf said sorrowfully. Blaze watched as Gandalf picked up an old book and began to read it.
"We must move on. We cannot linger," Legolas whispered urgently to Aragorn.
"They have taken the Bridge and the second hall: we have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long the ground shakes... drums, drums in the deep we cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. Will no-one save us? They are coming," Gandalf read.
Blaze frowned getting silent shivers from what had been said as the room filled with an eerie silence. She let out a yelp when she heard a loud clanging sound from behind her and saw Pippin, he was facing Gandalf, wincing with every bang. "Fool of a Took!" Gandalf said, coming forwards and grabbing his things. "Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of you stupidity!" Pippin looked at his feet, shamefully.
Everyone fell silent as they heard a loud rolling boom from the depths below, it grew louder, and louder and louder as if the caverns of Moria were turning into a vast drum. Everyone jumped as they heard a loud horn blast nearby; they heard horns answer before they heard the sound of running feet and harsh cries. Sam's eyes ran to Frodo's belt.
"Mr. Frodo!" he said worriedly.
Frodo pulled his sword out of the scabbard and saw that Sting was glowing blue.
''That can't be good,'' Blaze muttered.
"Orcs!" Legolas said.
"Get back! Stay close to Gandalf!" Aragorn said to the Hobbits.
Boromir ran to the door and looked out. He pulled himself back when two arrows embedded themselves in the door. Blaze chocked back a laugh as Aragorn ran and helped him close the doors.
Boromir looked at Aragorn. "They have a cave-troll!" he said calmly.
Blaze blinked, ''What like the giant stupid kind or the ones with the giant pink hair?''
''What kind of place are you from?'' Boromir said looking at her like she was mad, highly possible.
''A crazy one.'' She replied simply.
Gimli picked up his own axe and one of the axes that one of the dead dwarfs held. "Let them come! There is one Dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath!" he said challengingly.
The door began to splinter and Legolas took the opportunity to fire an arrow through the hole that presented itself.
The door burst open and Orcs ran into the room, and damn were they ugly, thankfully they were also stupid and easy to kill.
Suddenly they led the cave-troll in on a chain. Gimli ducked a blow and immediately threw one of his axes at the cave-troll, burying it in the chest. Boromir and Aragorn waded into the fight, their swords shining with blood. Legolas was firing arrows into the fray at the enemies, trying desperately trying to shield the Hobbits and Blaze.
Gandalf was clutching his sword as he joined the fight.
Blaze was interrupted from her fight when she heard Frodo yelling out for Aragorn.
She saw Aragorn rushing to Frodo's aide. She tried to follow but was cut off by several goblins.
"Get out of my way," she said. The goblins smiled darkly and Blaze just ducked there attacks before slicing at there necks.
She heard Frodo moan in agony as he was stabbed. Blaze growled as she heard this. Without thinking she changed to her dragon form and began to bite and slash at the enemies that surrounded her.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Aragorn knocked out by the cave-troll. Blaze watched as the others try to bring down the cave-troll. She slew the last of her opponents when she saw the cave-troll raise its club, ready to swing it at Legolas who was out in the open and closest to the troll.
Blaze swung out her tail knocking the troll to the ground, allowing Legolas to fire an arrow into the open mouth of the cave-troll. Everyone watched as the cave-troll fell forwards, dead. They waited a few seconds before Blaze raced to Frodo's side. Aragorn was already crawling towards the Hobbit.
"Oh no!" he said.
Blaze ran to Frodo and nudged his shoulder with her snout. She received nothing. She looked at Aragorn who rolled him over. Sam appeared at her left shoulder as she stood on her feet, waiting for a sound from Frodo. Everyone jumped slightly as Frodo coughed.
"He's alive," Sam said relieved.
"I'm alright, I'm not hurt," Frodo said.
Blaze smiled letting out a sigh of relief before changing back to her half and half form. "You should be dead," Aragorn said. "That spear would have skewered a wild boar."
"I think there's more to this Hobbit than meets the eye," Gandalf said.
Frodo opened his shirt to reveal a Mithril shirt underneath. There were no signs of the spear having hurt Frodo. "Mithril! You are full of surprises, Master Baggins," Gimli said, shocked.
They all froze when they heard 'BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.' It was the sound of drums. Drums and they were getting closer.
"To the bridge of Khazad-D m!" Gandalf said taking in the sound of the drums causing them all to flee from the tomb.
Everyone ran, ran as fast as they could, trying to get to the other side of Moria before the drums got to them.
Blaze looked up and saw goblins climbing out of the walls like insects. The goblins surrounded them in a matter of seconds. Blaze pulled out her daggers and held them ready.
"Are they really necessary?" Boromir asked, shocked. "Your claws are that long!"
''I am not getting nasty goblin blood on my claws!''
Everyone heard a deafening roar as a fire erupted down the hallway. The goblins looked at the light in fear before running up the pillars trying to get away from the light.
"What is this new devilry?" Boromir asked.
Blaze put her hand over her chest which started to feel like it was burning.
Everyone saw a huge shadow surrounded by flame. They all felt the ground shake with an unearthly rumble.
"A Balrog," Gandalf said. "A demon of the ancient world! This foe is beyond any of you! Run! Quickly!" he yelled.
Everyone followed him as he turned to his right and moved them down the stairs towards the bridge. Blaze and Boromir stood on the edge of the landing at the bottom of the stairs. Before Legolas could get there they both fell over the edge. Blaze grabbed hold of Boromir and brought him close as she felt her wings snap open, she flew them back up to the stairs.
"You so owe me," Blaze smirked setting him back down once they landed.
They quickly followed the others as they began to run down the stair. Legolas jumped from the top steps to the flight below, leading the way and Blaze flew down alongside them.
They soon came to a large gap, Legolas jumped first and landed on the other side as Blaze flew across.
"Gandalf!" Legolas called for the old wizard, who paused for only a second longer before jumping across. Legolas helped steady the wizard as Boromir prepared to jump, when an arrow whistled through the air and smashed into the rock at the man's feet.
Blaze looked across the ravine at the horde of goblins that were shooting at them before remembering her argument with Aragorn back at Rivendell; she cast the ranger a glance noticing him giving her a pointed look, Blaze smirked before lowering herself behind the stairs.
''Duck and cover.'' She called up to him as he rolled his eyes.
Legolas raised his own bow and shot across the wide gap at Orcs who shot at them. A direct hit on one Orc through the forehead had him dropping down like a stone as he tumbled down over the edge.
Boromir collected Merry and Pippin in his arms and leaped across, Legolas continued to shoot at the enemies. That was when part of the stair case crumbled away, creating an even larger gap for the remaining members to jump across.
"Sam!" Aragorn grabbed the hobbit and threw him across; Blaze flew up again catching him around the waist. Aragorn turned to Gimli next, but stubborn as ever he held up a hand.
"Nobody tosses a Dwarf!" He stated before he gave a great yell and jumped. He landed just on the edge and almost fell backwards, if it weren't for Legolas grabbing onto his beard to hold him up.
"Not the beard!" He cried upset as Legolas heaved him back to a safe place on the rocky staircase.
Aragorn was about to throw Frodo when he heard a loud crack from beneath them. He moved Frodo back before he followed him. Blaze heard the sound of the Balrog trying to come through the doorway. It caused part of the ceiling to fall on the steps behind Aragorn and Frodo. It broke the stairs and caused the stairs to start swaying.
"Lean forwards!" Aragorn said to Frodo who had started to lean back with the stairs.
Frodo nodded with fright and followed what Aragorn did. The stairs moved forwards. The two stairs connected and they fell into the arms of the Fellowship.
They ran into a hall with a crack in the middle and out of the crack, were flames. "Over the bridge! Fly!" Gandalf yelled Use (consider revising) he motioned to his left in the direction of the bridge.
Everyone ran, as Blaze flew along side them she looked over her shoulder, everyone else had run over but Gandalf had stopped in the middle. He had Glamdring out in his left hand and in his right was his staff. She watched as the Balrog appeared, the burning sensation returned to her chest as her necklace started to glow.
"You cannot pass!" Gandalf yelled.
"Gandalf!" Frodo yelled; he was alarmed at what his friend was doing.
"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Ud n!" Gandalf yelled.
Everyone watched as the Balrog placed its left foot on the bridge, drawing itself up to full height and spreading his wings. Gandalf seemed as a doll on the bridge in comparison.
"Go back to the Shadow!" The Balrog slashed at Gandalf with its sword, there was a ringing as the Balrogs sword shattered against the light Gandalf was emitting.
Blaze lost complete control of what she was doing and changed to her dragon form, her eyes turned a fiery red as she seemed to draw the Balrogs power to her.
She growled menacingly feeling her body burning up, before releasing a torrent of flames on the beast, the Balrog staggered back using its wings to shield itself. Blaze's strength left her as she fell to her knees on the bridge behind Gandalf before she lost consciousness.
oOo
''You bloody idiot!'' Blaze sat up glaring at her twin.
''Autumn, this really isn't a good time.'' Blaze said standing up, before looking at the Balrog and Gandalf.
''I said to use the power in small doses! And what did you do, but go use the whole damn thing at once?'' Autumn shirked.
''Sorry but I couldn't help it! And if you had not taken my memories of what is going to happen, then maybe I wouldn't have done it!"
They were both brought out of there argument by Gandalf's booming voice.
"You shall not pass!" His staff striking the bridge.
The Balrog stepped forwards on the bridge and fell. Gandalf sighed with relief. As he turned around he did not see the Balrogs whip wrap around his right ankle, pulling him down. He fell, but grabbed the edge of the bridge. Frodo tried to run forward but Boromir stopped him.
"Fly you fools!" Gandalf said before he let go and fell.
"Gandalf!" Frodo yelled.
''No,'' Blaze gasped as Autumn let out a sigh of relief.
''Good things won't be total screwed up after all.''
''What but he just-''
