Mordor. The very place that gave birth to all kinds of evil. Aragorn rode ahead before the army before him and Legolas readied his bow. Elenya narrowed her eyes as the sun pierced them and kept her horse steady. Gimli was shouting swear words at the large gate, but she drowned any sounds out of her mind. Finally, the large gates opened wide. Legolas glanced at her and she at him.

They stared at each other for a moment, until she looked away to unsheathe her sword. Several orcs charged at them and the army gave a loud cry as they did the same. Elenya got off her horse and charged. Orcs, with their eyes filled with rage, came her way with axes and knives. She swung her sword and gave small grunts as she did. Legolas fired several arrows as he tried to keep up with Gimli's loud counting.

Elenya spotted Aragorn jabbed in the face by an Orc's elbow. Quickly, she took out a smaller knife from her belt and threw it into its face before it could strike again. There was hardly a time for a catch of breath. Everywhere she turned, a new Orc was coming her way or threatening one of the men around her. Suddenly, they saw a few large trolls approach the army and Legolas did his best to bring them down with his arrows.

Gimli swung his axe and shouted aloud. Elenya slipped on a fallen shield and landed on her back as an Orc raised its sword to end her. She gave it a sharp kick in its knee and chopped off its head with her sword. Suddenly, she saw Gimli being approached by an Orc from behind. She readied her sword to charge until an arrow pierced its shoulder and brought it down. She turned and saw Legolas giving her a small wink as he continued fighting.

Suddenly, Aragorn gave a loud grunt as he was knocked down by a troll. His sword was kicked aside and his lip was bleeding. Elenya shouted his name as she charged towards him. Quickly, she turned and heard Legolas cry out in pain. An orc had sliced at his arm and he stumbled down as he took a few punches. She thought quickly as she spotted an archer and pulled him aside, pointing her sword at the orc cornering Legolas. He aimed and fired, bring the orc down. She rushed to Aragorn until a large club slammed into her face. Everything went black for a second as she landed on her back.

Her hearing seemed to have been turned off as a large troll stood above her. She felt her face stinging from the strike and her eyes were heavy. Out of all the noise, she heard only one thing: Legolas. He gave a large cry as he jumped onto the troll, thrusting a sword into its back. So much rage. So much killing over a ring. A blasted ring. Before she closed her eyes, she made a silent prayer out to Frodo. To destroy the ring with great haste. Suddenly, her eyes closed and she felt a small peace.

Legolas overcame the troll after several minutes. When he brought it down, he glanced at Elenya as she was lying on the ground. He gritted his teeth and his aching legs ran over to her, firing arrows with every step. His feet were planted by her side as he shot down anything that came his way. Suddenly, he heard a screech as large eagles circled above them. His heart felt a small peace as he continued killing.

Aragorn stopped when he saw the large mountain explode and the Great Eye vanish into thin air. Cheers filled the air and he made eye contact with Gandalf. He was crying and his face was a bit dirty. Aragorn felt his legs give out, exhausted. The earth swallowed the remaining orcs and there was a brief silence. Legolas lowered his bow and rushed to Elenya's side. Her cheek was bruised and her mouth was covered in blood as she coughed.

"Hang on...hang on..."

He lifted her into his arms and stood up straight, scanning for Gandalf. Gimli stepped towards him and stopped when he saw Elenya in his arms. "Take her to Gandalf, lad! Quick, she can't have long."

Legolas looked but Gandalf was nowhere in sight. He felt his heart pounding and his legs aching, but kept looking. Suddenly, he felt his arms numb as he slipped and fell. He was exhausted and couldn't get up. His hand reached out and held onto Elenya's. Gimli got an idea and ran off, returning with Aragorn.

He bent down and pressed his fingers against Elenya's neck. His heart was heavy as he looked at Legolas. "You must prepare yourself, Legolas."

Legolas shook his head. "No...no, never!"

Aragorn closed his eyes and called upon Elrond. He held Elenya's wrist and muttered prayers in Elvish. Legolas slowly got up and crawled over to them. Gimli watched with a steady heart, ready for the worst. When Aragorn finished, he glanced at Legolas who had gone unconscious from exhaustion. Aragorn held Elenya's hand and gave it a kiss. Gimli gave a long sigh as the eagles flew down, flapping their thunderous wings.
