-comes in wearing her volleyball uniform while setting a ball in the air- We just won our first volleyball game! Woo hoo! –misses and gets hit in the head with the ball- Ow…. Anyway, this chapter is late because I have officially changed my update date to Sunday because Thursday is just not going to work anymore. I also got Microsoft Word back the other day so I'm good. Alright, Elven Warrior Princess, I liked Jay Greenleaf Elf! You should have kept it! And I get what you mean by bad eye day Sailor Elf. Anyway, time for chapter 14! I never thought that I would get this far. Well, I wouldn't have without all of these awesome reviews! And I'm going to dedicate this chapter to my new friend Kelly whose b-day is on Wednesday. So without further delay, here is chapter fourteen of Knight of the Heavens.


Legolas flexed his wings experimentally, wincing slightly as the wound below his right wing throbbed slightly. A layer of scales covered the wound, thin enough that the wound was still visible, yet think enough to keep out infection. The same was on his left leg, though he tried not to put any weight on it. Thaliel whinnied worriedly as Legolas turned, crouching to take off. He turned back to her and, in horse, said, "Don't worry. I'm only going for a short flight. I'll be back soon." Thaliel was about to protest, but someone else beat her to it.

"You're not going ANYWHERE without me." Galion came out of the cover of the trees and Legolas raised a brow. "Are you going to war or something?" He asked. The butler was in full armor and weapons, something that Legolas hadn't seen in a long time.

"No. I'm coming with you. Every time you go out of your own, something bad happens." Galion said. "Besides, what if those dragon slayers are still looking for you? You could use some help." Legolas snorted, but didn't protest. "So, are you going to let me on or what?"

Fifteen minuets later, Legolas was consumed in a storm of laughter as Galion fell off his back once more. The older Elf just growled and tried again, this time remaining seated. "I still don't see what is so funny." He muttered as Legolas prepared to take off once more.

"Hold on." Galion barely had any time to comply as Legolas darted into the sky, straining his wings slightly to stay aloft. Galion clung on for dear life and Legolas was forced to slow down even though he hadn't been going very fast in the first place. He was tempted to do some dives and spins, but though better of it for both his sake and Galion's. In all honesty, he looked completely terrified as he clung to Legolas as tightly as he could, his eyes tightly shut. In a way it was hilarious to see him like this, yet one couldn't help but feel sorry for the Elf. Legolas slowed a bit more and tried to keep himself level, gliding as often as possible. "You can open your eyes you know." He commented, turning his head slightly to see Galion. The older Elf nodded and opened his eyes slightly, but looked straight ahead. "You can look down, too."

"I'll fall off if I do," Galion said dryly. "Either that or I'll be sick."

"If you fall I'll just catch you, and if you're sick….. well, I can't do much about that."

"If you insist…." Galion took a deep breath and looked at the ground. He gasped, just loud enough for Legolas to hear.

"Mirkwood looks so tiny from up here, doesn't it?" He asked, taking a look himself.

"It does," Galion breathed, still awestruck. "I didn't even think that you could fly this high."

Legolas smirked. "As long as there's oxygen I can fly as high as I want." Galion rolled his eyes, but his thoughts were interrupted by a faint storm of howls. "I'm assuming that those wolves were the ones that attacked you before." He said casually. It was a few seconds before Legolas replied.

"Yes, that's the pack. Most of them want to run, but the Alpha won't let them."

"I bet. But how does he expect to get you from up here?" Galion asked, puzzled.

"She. The current Alpha is a female." Legolas corrected him, then continued. "She is howling her challenge, and the others follow. They want me to fight them."

"And knowing you, you're going to go fight them." Galion smacked his forehead when Legolas nodded, knowing that he was going to have to come along. "Just don't take any unnecessary risks."

"I wouldn't dream of it." Legolas said airily as he went into a shallow dive, circling until it was safe to land. Many of the wolves backed away, and the mothers with pups growled their warnings at him. Legolas just snorted, knowing that their threats were groundless seeing as they had their tails between their legs. The Alpha growled at him and he growled back, the volume and depth of the threat unnerving the few wolves that had enough courage to fight.

Galion snorted from the sidelines, unnoticed by anyone. Wolves weren't usually this easy to scare. Then again, it wasn't every day that a wolf decided to fight a dragon ten times its size. The Alpha turned to her pack and growled, but none of them were willing to fight anymore. In her rage, she leapt at Legolas with her fangs bared. The Elf calmly wrapped his claws around her stopping her in mid air. She thrashed and yelped, howling for her comrades, but at that point it was clear that she was alone. Legolas growled something to her and she seemed to calm slightly, but she wouldn't stop glaring at him. At least not until Legolas flamed. It missed her, but singed the ends of her fur. Taking that as a sign that she had been defeated, she stopped all movement, waiting for her death. What surprised everyone was when Legolas gently placed her on the ground, his claws uncurling from around her body. The entire pack was stunned, most the Alpha most of all. Before she had any time to relay her thanks, Galion was on Legolas's back once more and he took off, scattering a few fallen leaves in the process. Before he had gotten too far, however, a single howl could be heard.

"What was that about?" Galion asked when they had landed.

"She was thanking me for sparing her life." Legolas said as he transformed. "She attacked me because her pack did not respect her because of their defeat a few weeks ago. I told her I didn't mean it, but it didn't change things. Sparing her life did."

"I didn't understand a word you just said," Galion said, but was ignored as Legolas was talking to Thaliel. "Nevermind."


Heh, this chapter was fun to write. I was kind of making this up as I went along, but I think it was good. Tell me what you thought in a review! Dang, my chapters are always so short!
