Galadriel was calling on power as she charged Sauron and she saw how water flowed over Sauron and put his flames out.

"I will kill you for this witch" he sneered.

She did not reply but concentrated on pushing him back which he blocked and then attacked her with darkness coming from all sides. She called on her light and destroyed them but the exhaustion came to her in a so strong wave that she nearly collapsed.

"Someone does not look so well" taunted Sauron.

"I am still strong enough to handle you" she replied trying to sound steady and relaxed.

"You are lying with I will destroy you" Sauron replied.

She felt a wave of darkness coming at her but not physical, he was attacking her very soul and core being. She closed her eyes as pain came running through every part of her being rarely had she been attacked so relentless. She focused on her own power and pushed him slowly but surely away. He tried to hold on but she was determined not to lose this fight and pushed him even harder and their she felt it. For at short moment the attacks stopped and she saw a glimpse of his evil soul of someone who carved power and dominance about everything else and not caring for anything of beauty or kindness. Then the glimpse was over and Sauron stepped backward and for a short second she could swear that she could see fear in his eyes. For a short time, none of them did anything but she knew it was a short pause and she could fell how drained she was by it. She would not have the strength to do that again and this was far from over that was for certain.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Nenfling flied as fast as he could but with two passengers on his back it slowed him down greatly. Even so he made good speed back to the others but he could feel that the female called Galadriel was not relaxed as she often tried to move around. Slowly she started to get colder he could feel it through her it was so powerful and he tried to hurry even more. Suddenly a powerful wind from behind gave him the right push and he almost did not have to use any energy himself. He quickly prepared for landing and started slide towards the ground. As he came closer he could see that some elves with litters had gathered in the courtyard which was probably a good idea as the two on his bag was in dire need of help. He came all the way down to the ground and the elves hurried to get the two passengers. While they worked, another elven female went over to him.

"We thank you deeply for your help you must tell us if we can repay you and your kin in some way" the female said.

He looked at her and she stared right back and he could see she meant it.

"I will remember that and I am glad that I can help" he said.

The elves took his two passengers and hurried into the healing wing and he flew over to the open windows where his friends were. He was glad that he could help so much and he had to warn them that they would soon get some guest who would also be in need of medical attention.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Legolas could feel that his body tired and he probably should return to the bed and rest but he had to try. In low voice so others could not hear him he talked to her trying to convince her to come back to them, to back to him. She had been his close friend for 7 years which was not much for him but given her young age it was much for her.

"Please Tauriel come back to us we need you more now than ever" he called to her.

He leaned even closer to her so no one nearby could her him.

"I need you" he whispered into her ear.

He gave her hand a little squish hoping that she somehow would find the strength to find her way back.

"Please Tauriel we need you, I know it must be hard but remember there is still light left in the world that is worth fighting for" he said in a low voice.

Even as he said it he felt a little doubt himself as he so often did when he said that to his people was fighting so hard for. He had seen friends die on patrols in attacks from spiders, wargs and orcs and it was hard to watch such things especially one time where a ellon had taken a blow that was meant for him. Yet Mithrandir had told him time and time again that there was still light left and he believed him but it was sometimes difficult not to doubt it but his people needed hope so he held onto it as good as he could.

"Tauriel please get back to me you are my friend and I need you to come back to me. I don't want to lose my friend" he said softly to her.

Before he could say anymore to the door bursted open and lady Galadriel and Mithrandir was carried in with great hast which made him forget Tauriel at least for a short while.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Tauriel felt alone and in darkness unsure of what to do and she was feeling cold it frightened her like nothing ever had before. She did not know what was happening and she really did not care she just wanted her parents back, but they were lost and would never come back.

"Tauriel" there was a whisper.

She tried to shrug it off as she did not want anything other than his parents.

"Please Tauriel come back to us we need you more now than ever" did she hear someone call to her.

She looked around trying to figure out where the voice came from.

"Tauriel" was the whisper again but it seemed like it came from a different direction than the one that had spoken before.

Then she heard the first voice again.

"I need you" did someone call and with shock she realised it was her friend Legolas that was calling to her.

"Tauriel" did the second voice call to her again and it was stronger.

She did not know what to do as two seamed to call for her.

"Please Tauriel we need you, I know it must be hard but remember there is still light left in the world that is worth fighting for" did Legolas call for her.

It was true that there was still light left her friendship with the prince showed this but she missed her parents so much. In that moment, the second voice called again even more powerful than before and this time she recognised it as belonging to her Ada.

"Ada, Ada are you there?" she called.

No one answered her as she looked around confused by all of this, what was she going to do?

"Tauriel please get back to me you are my friend and I need you to come back to me. I don't want to lose my friend" Legolas called.

"TAURIEL" did the voice of her Ada call even stronger.

She broke down and cried unsure of what to do and which voice she should head. As she sat their alone she realised something this was not just her Ada and her friend and prince calling out to her it was her, her choice about whether or not she would leave the world around and join her dead parent. What was she going to do? She was needed in the land of the living but she longed to be reunited with her parents. As she sat there sobbing she realised something, if she was needed in the land of the living she would head their call even if it meant she had to leave her them behind. She started to look for Legolas hoping to find him she desperately hoped her parent would understand her choice and forgive her for not choosing them. Now she just had to find the right path back, she hoped she could find it.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Elladan sat beside the bed with his Ada in along with his brother Elrohir hoping he would soon be better. He was not used to see Ada in a hospital bed with healers often looking him over it was normally them laying there with his Ada hovering over them. This was kind of a new experiences for him and his brother and not one he hoped to have again. He knew that Glorfindel had left them shortly to make sure that the rest of the party was alright.

Suddenly the door flung open and elves rushed in carrying two litters with Mithrandir on one of them and … DearNana?

"No" he breathed as he saw his grandmother being placed on a bed nearby.

She looked pale as she laid there without moving and it hurt him to see her in such as state. It also opened another question what was she doing here? The healers were swarming around her making it impossible for them to get to her. They tried to wait patiently to they were finished but it was so hard when all you wanted was to rush to her side. For the first time, he started to understand how his Ada had it when he was the one sitting waiting for them to get better. Suddenly Galadriel shuttered and gasped for air and started to fitting and it was like someone was trying to squish life out of her.

"Elrond" she whispered before she went completely still.

He looked at his DearNana and Ada as they laid there completely still on their beds, it frightened him.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Thranduil looked with sorrow filled eyes as his people brought even more people in to the healing wing. It was frightening to see lady Galadriel and Mithrandir so still on their beds but as he looked at them he got a feeling that something else was going on. Suddenly a very short and small blue glint was coming from Elrond and he suddenly understood. This was not just about the injuries something was going on that required the use of the elven rings. No, no, no, not now, not here with so many people in the room and they were injured as well so he could hardly dismiss the healers. Even so he had to help them protect the secret it would not bold well if that information started to spread. He looked towards Lavaran waving him over while trying to think of some possibilities. Laveran came to him and looked worried at him.

"What is it Aran-nin?" he asked.

"We need to move every healer who is not extremely needed hear and all wounded who can be moved into the next room to be moved out of here. Only let Elrond, Galadriel and Mithrandir to be hear with just a single healer rest should be moved out" he said.

"Aran-nin we can't move people and you need care" Lavaran answered surprised.

"I know Lavaran but you must trust me that there is a good reason I ask for this the situation is far dire than you can imagen" Lavaran" he said.

Lavaran looked at him for a short time clearly thinking things through and he was hoping he would do as he asked. As a king, he could order it but he preferred to let Lavaran make the decision as he knew more about healing than him and could decide if the risk was worth it better than him.

"We will need to empty the room remove all expect Tauriel, Legolas, Thranduil, Elrond, Galadriel and Mithrandir. Everyone else must get out and every new injured we receive we must treat them in the outer room for less injured. I will be the only healer in hear so start moving and get the things you need if any of you need to enter here you will knock first and first enter when allowed to understood?" he said out loud in the room.

His fellow healers looked at him greatly unpleased and surprised but they trusted Lavaran enough to do as they were told. If the leader of the healing wing asked for something like this in this situation there would be a dam good reason. Soon people was moved out of the room and the healers left to see to the other patients and the doors was slammed shot and left them alone. Barely had the door shot before a new light was lighting the room up and not just one but three strong glows were to be seen in the room. It frightened Thranduil to think of what could have coursed such a threat that they all three felt they needed to call on the power of the elven ring at the same time?
