Chapter 7

Sunset finally arrived and half the kingdom had come to the garden on top of the hill to see the dual between Legolas and Brunéhen.

"You have to win Legolas!" Nimoe said desperately.

"Why?" asked Legolas.

"Because, there is no way in hell, that I'm marrying that… that… Dog-lover!!!"

All went silent and all the elves stared at her.

"What?! He did!" said Nimoe making strange hand gestures.

"Is that the only reason?" asked Legolas quietly.

"Well, no…" started Nimoe sheepishly. "I want you to win cause you're my friend and you're a better fighter and you're way hotter and, and I think I'm hyperventilating!"

Brunéhen watched them jealously out of the corner of his eye. He took a swig of wine and picked up his sword.

"Legolas!" He said loudly, trying to disguise his fear. "Tis time!"

Legolas faced his opponent and withdrew his sword from its sheath.

The two opponents stepped forward and prepared to battle.

Suddenly Brunéhen lunged at Legolas. Legolas narrowly missed the blade of his sword.

They exchanged blow after blow, each landing equal amounts of wounds.

Legolas aimed a high strike against Brunéhen, but he blocked it with his sword.

Brunéhen seeing Legolas's right side unguarded, withdrew a dagger he had concealed and thrust it into Legolas's side.

"AHHHH!" Legolas cried out in pain.

He stepped back and sank to his knees, blinded by pain. His sword fell to the ground as Nimoe looked on in horror.

"Ha!" Called out Brunéhen happily. "Nimoe is mine!"

Legolas was filled with a deep seeded rage. He gripped his sword, climbed to his feet and lunged at Brunéhen.

Brunéhen struggled to block the blows Legolas was dishing out and after about five the sword flew out of his hand.

It flew over Legolas's head and Legolas caught it in his left hand before it hit the ground.

Legolas held the two blades at Brunéhen's throat, preparing to strike.

He gazed into his eyes and remembered the great friend he once had.

Legolas lowered the blades and threw them to the ground.

Brunéhen, amazed to be alive gazed around. All the elves avoided eye contact, for they were deeply ashamed of his actions with the dagger.

"Did you hear that?" asked Brunéhen, pretending to hear something. "Coming mother!"

Brunéhen ran off into the growing darkness and was lost into the forest of Mirkwood.

"I didn't hear anything," said Legolas wincing in pain.

"Legolas!!!" cried Nimoe as she rushed over. "Are you ok?"

Legolas looked down at his side. The dagger was still in the wound and he was loosing blood rapidly. He started to sway slightly and Nimoe quickly put her arms around him to prevent him from falling.

Legolas looked down at her face and all went black…
