Ok, I won't leave you hanging too long

Chapter 36

Gandalf POV

There was a flash of blinding red light. Everyone in the vicinity of the troll was momentarily blinded by the light and shielded their eyes. Gandalf was the first to peer through his fingers to see what was unfolding before them.

He looked to where the troll was bearing down on Legolas and Aragorn. Aragorn had been flung further away from the troll somehow. And there, to his astonishment, standing over the unmoving elf was a red shield of light. Or to be more precise, a red light in the form of an orb, blocking the troll's strike, and it seemed to be projected from none other than Elahir. She looked up at the troll, one sword in hand, seeming to control the energy orb around her, blocking the troll's blow.

He noticed her eyes, no longer black, but an eery, crimson red, as she crouched down next to Legolas, rolling him onto his back. Tithen Lum ran to her side, looking down at the Prince of the Woodland Realm, the Lycan did not flinch at the power exuding from the elleth. He did not wake and Gandalf saw Elahir inspect a deep gash on his forehead and his skin appeared more pale than usual.

oOOo

Elahir POV

"Legolas..." she breathed touching his forehead and letting her fingers drift to his cheek. His eyes were closed. She remembered his conversation with her at Helm's Deep. 'We do not, unless severely injured to the point of near death. We sleep with our eyes and ears open, and then we do not sleep much at all.' She looked to Tithen Lum who looked sadly back at her. "Take care of him." Tithen Lum bowed her head once in acknowledgement.

Elahir's eyes narrowed and she set her jaw, before standing back up and looking back at the troll. She glared up at it as it continued to try and rupture her energy shield.

"You shall not harm him!" she shouted, but her voice was not her usual. Red energy ebbed from her body in waves and they were getting stronger and stronger, slowly forcing the troll back, even though it was using all its strength against Elahir's energy shield. With one swift movement from Elahir as she drew her second sword, the powerful energy shield took the shape of a person, holding two swords and forcing the troll back, causing it to stumble. Her energy-being struck out a sword, slicing the troll's head from its shoulders.

There was a scream, as the light of Sauron's eye turned to face them once more, ignoring Frodo for a much greater prize. The ground began to rumble and a black shadow appeared, flying towards her over the ground. Orcs and soldiers alike were overwhelmed by the shadow and collapsed onto the ground.

"The power of the Sheann Queen is mine!" came a haunting and dark voice. The energy guardian from Elahir grew in size and swung its sword as Elahir looked up, causing the shadow to stop dead. "Do not resist me, your destiny lies with me."

The companions and allies stared after her, Gandalf left speechless as Aragorn appeared at his side.

"Gandalf, what is this?" Aragorn breathed in shock.

"This is the power that was passed on by Queen Ellia, in the wrong hands and used for the wrong reason, it could help Sauron destroy the world."

"You shall not have my power." Her projection stood defensively as the shadow took a vague shape of a man. It growled, and then seemed to look behind her. Her projection moved across its view as she narrowed her eyes.

"I see you! You wish to protect them? To what purpose? You cannot beat me! Soon, I shall have the One Ring and your power! And then I shall take all of Middle Earth, just as i took your city, your people and your mother."

She looked up at the shadow that hung above the ground in front of her body of energy. Her red eyes glowing, as the power began to ebb from her body in powerful waves again.

"You will not harm anyone, anymore. Your time has ended for good Sauron, I shall see to that!" Sauron's shadow began to reach forward, trying to grab her but her energy guardian swung its arm, now with a sword formed at the end. The energy sword slashed at the arm, severing it into nothing but a wisp of darkness. Sauron's shadow screamed a high pitch and deafening scream.

Elahir began to walk towards the shadow, her guardian growing bigger and her powers rippling in bigger and bigger waves, making the ground around her begin to crack and wave.

Tithen Lum stood over Legolas, in an effort to buffer and protect him from the energy rippling from Elahir. She was forced to dig her claws in to withstand the beating, but she stood her ground. The energy waves forced the shadow back, every step and wave making the shadow begin to falter. She raised her arms from her sides, the swords beginning to glow red again. "The time of darkness under your eye is at an end Sauron, I will not let you hurt anyone I love anymore."

"NNNOOOOO!" Sauron screeched. He grew in size and power, double the size of her guardian, it slowed to a stop, unable to move against the fierce power now resonating from Sauron's shadow. It crossed it's swords in front of it in an effort to withstand the power but it began to fail, taking the shape of an orb around her once again, to keep her safe from Sauron's power. "I will take you and all you love!"

Oops, I did it again ;)
