Chapter 13---------------Valocoon
Quintolea showed them the way to the realm of the sun-rise elf Valocoon.
"Legolas what is a sun-rise elf? I only know of the Wood-elf's like your self and the High elf's." Legolas almost in a whisper told him.
"Sun-rise elf's are said to have been made in the sun at the start of time. At the time of a total eclipse Moon and Sun-rise elf's came down to Middle earth, Because of them Wood, grey, sliver, Sea and the high elf's are to be."
Ivory joined them "How do you know about the sun-rise elf's Ivory?"
"It's along story Sam one that I will tell you when the quest is over until then."
Sam nodded his head it did not stop him asking her to tell him about the Sun-Elf's. She laughed at his questions.
"This is the way" Quintolea said ducking under some trees. They gasped at the site that awaited them.
A city that was made out of pure gold. Even Legolas was in awe. They walked to the plaice that was in front of them. Walking up to the gates Quintolea ordered the guards to open the gates to the plaice.
"You grew up here?" Pippin asked. Ivory nodded.
"May I ask you something?"
"Of course?"
"Why did you leave?"
"I left to ride to join you. Someday I will tell you all my story but for I can not."
Pippin nodded his head stopping.
"Pippin?" Ivory said. Pippin smiled
"I am hungry" Legolas and Frodo started to laugh has Gandalf shook his head.
Quintolea took them to the doors knocking a female elf opened them Ivory and Quintolea lowered their heads.
The elf smiled warmly "Quintolea to is good to see you and Ivory we are so pleased to see you alive and well"
"The news of my death has been much wronged Tessleao" Ivory said has she and the elf hugged.
"I wish to speak to Valocoon where is he?" She asked
"In the thrown room" Tessleao answered
"Who told you that I had failed?"
"A man came a few days after you left, told us that he was a friend of Gandalf's and that Gandalf at sent them." Ivory looked puzzled listing to what Tessleao was saying.
"He then told us that Gandalf has sent him to tell us that you had been slain" Gandalf and Ivory looked at each over.
"Did he give a name?" Gandalf asked
"Yes he said his name was Wormtongue" Gandalf smiled
"He is no friend of mine. He is very much foe." The elf nodded and looked sad.
"Tessleao? What is it?" Ivory asked
"It's Valocoon. He is dying" Ivory recoiled at the news Legolas stopped her from falling.
"Wait here please I need to do this alone. Take me to him" The hobbits looked at each other puzzled and confused.
"I thought elf's where immortal Legolas" Merry said
"We are, we can not die unless we are cursed, killed in battle, or give up on this life"
Gandalf sat with them "If Wormtongue has put any doubts in his mind then..."
Frodo looked at Gandalf "What? What dose it mean?"
"That we have failed."
Ivory walked into the room saw the king sat on his thrown "Valocoon?" Ivory whispered his name "Please father-king awake."
"Ivory? This can not be you...you are dead"
"No my lord I am alive and well king"
"The...the...the...the ring?"
"I still have it I met the fellowship. We where on the way to Mordor when Quintolea frond us.
"Wormtounge he told me Orcs killed you"
"That snake! My lord I am alive and well, the quest goes well the rings will be put into mount doom. Yes the dark powers have tried to stop us but we have defeated them"
"Princess Ivory it is great to see you already I feel my power returning. Rest now your highness let me talk with Gandalf"
Ivory nodded left the room.
Has night fall came over the city Ivory stood on top of the plaice looking over the golden city.
"My love?"
"Legolas!" She walked over to him has he took hold of her allowing the tears to fall.
"OH my love why do you weep I have never seen you so sad."
"I weep because I do not know what is to come"
"Do not lose hope we are nearly there. We will not fail"
He took hold of her hand leading her back into the plaice.
When morning came Aragorn and Glimi loaded up the horses has Gandalf joined them.
"How goes it?"
"We are set for leaving. We are waiting for Legolas and Ivory. Who is she Gandalf?"
"She is one of you Aragorn. One of the lost." Valocoon answered
"Good to see you up Valocoon my friend"
"I fell strong again may I join you? Quintolea as asked to join you also."
"I don't know Valocoon" Ivory and Legolas joined them watching the exchange.
"Gandalf there is no longer nine riders there are eleven"
"What?" Ivory asked frowning
"Please let me come with you"
"These are ill tidings indeed, Very well Quintolea and yourself may join us. Come to Mordor we have not much time."
They set off towards Mordor.
