Glory Morning
"Gandalf!" Legolas said, "You were safe! How I'm glad to see you again."
"Where are Boromir and Hothien?" Gimli asked from behind.
"I'm not really sure," Vebriclya answered in pain. But then she smiled and said, "I think Legolas have fixed my problem of talking too much. He taught me just in a flick, while mother tried to fix it all her life. Thank you Legolas."
"That's very good news to find," Merry replied while rolling his eyes.
"We should get out of here before we get in any more trouble." Sam suggested.
"The hobbit is right. Let's get out of here." Legolas agreed.
"Wait!" Vebriclya stopped them, "My arm!"
"Oh, it's just a cut, right? We'll just bandage it later." Legolas ignored her.
"But… The sword seemed to be poisonous and I'm feeling a bit drowsy…"
Vebriclya finished her sentence, and then fainted.
"She's an elf, so she will survive," Gandalf said, "If we get her bandaged at Lothlorien."
"Then let's go!"
Legolas lifted her up, and they began heading towards the bridge to the exit.
Meanwhile, Boromir and Hothien was still stuck in the hole while the Troll was blocking the exit.
"I wanted to ask you if you would mind if I liked you." Boromir said.
"Of course I wouldn't mind being liked." Hothien answered.
"No, I mean, 'like' like. You know?"
Hothien was shocked, and her mouth just hand wide open. And she really regretted afterwards that she said this in reply.
"You mean you LOVE me? Oh my gosh! Heck no. I hate you!"
"I thought you would say that to me… I'm a man and you are an elf. But I won't give up."
Boromir looked down. Hothien wished Boromir never asked her that question. I can't love anyone, she thought, it's too early for me. But now, I hurt Boromir's feeling. What should I do?
"How about trying to get out of this hole? I'm getting hot." Hothien suggested.
"That's a good idea. How about, I stab my sword into this huge troll. That will make him suffer, and…"
"And then he will get mad and kill us both. How about a different idea. How about my Elven magic? It will make him fall asleep."
"I guess so…"
Then Hothien started to chant.
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! ~~~~~~~~~~!"
Then they suddenly heard a huge snore.
"Let's get out of here!"
After they got rid of the cave troll, they headed toward the exit. They reached the bridge of Khazad- Dum, they saw everyone else.
"Hothien! Boromir! You two were safe!" Sam yelled.
"Yes! Just one problem. Balrog is following us." Hothien rolled her eyes, as Balrog purred. "I think he likes me."
"Well, we can't keep him for a pet, so let's get rid of him." Boromir shouted.
Before anyone could warn him, Boromir stabbed his sword into Balrog. Everyone gasped.
"Stupid!" Legolas yelled.
"Fool!" Gandalf shouted.
"Mad man!" Hothien yelled.
"Damn you!" Merry shouted.
"Do you have a mind?" Gimli asked.
"*sigh*" Sam sighed.
Boromir looked annoyed, but he couldn't complain. He saw that Balrog was growling at him. Balrog raised his whip, and then tried to kill Boromir. Luckily, Gandalf had run in front of Boromir to protect him.
"You cannot pass!" Gandalf yelled, "I am the secret servant of the fire. You cannot pass!"
Gandalf put his staff on the bridge. The staff had protected both the wizard and the human from the deadly fire whip. Instead, the staff had made a crack in the bridge, which let Balrog fall into the darkness. Gandalf turned back, to say that everything was all right now, but Balrog's whip got caught in his ankle. Gandalf was dragged with the monster.
"Fly, you fools!" The fellowship heard him from the distance.
Just then, from across the bridge, they heard a cry of Frodo. He said, "No Gandalf!"
"Frodo! Pippin! Aragorn! How are you guys going to get across the bridge!" Hothien shouted.
"Um… maybe pass the rope from the end of the bridge and we can go across like Tarzan?" Aragorn suggested.
"That is a very dangerous idea," Legolas said, "but it's better than being stuck in this horrid cave."
"Oi! You don't say bad things about DWARF caves!" Gimli cried.
Pippin rolled his eyes. "I'll get the rope ready. Boromir! Get ready to catch the rope!"
Pippin put down his backpack, and pulled out a rope that he stole from Farmer Maggot. It was just about the size that could reach all the way across from him to the middle of the bridge. Pippin tossed one of the ends to Boromir, and he caught it. Then Pippin jumped off, and Boromir pulled the rope as hard as he can. Then Boromir tossed the rope to Aragorn, and with some difficulties, Boromir managed to pull Aragorn up as well. Boromir did the same thing to Frodo and all the fellowship, except for Gandalf, safely exited out the gloomy cave.
When they got into the bright sunshine, all for hobbits burst out into tears. Gimli made a little tomb rock and carved Gandalf on it. Hothien gathered some flowers, and mourned. Legolas was looking towards Lothlorien. Boromir was about to commit a suicide if Sam hadn't stopped him. Aragorn was pissed at all these crying, so he shouted at Legolas.
"Legolas! Get them up on there feet!" He shouted.
"Oh, give them a moment, for pity sake!" Boromir yelled back.
"The orcs are still after us! We must go." Aragorn got angry.
Without a word, Legolas went over to the hobbits and said, "On your feet, sir."
Aragorn helped Hothien and Gimli up on their feet. Once again, Legolas picked up Vebriclya, who was still unconscious, and went over to Aragorn. Then Aragorn noticed that Frodo was wondering away with the ring in his hand.
"Where do you think you are going, Frodo?"
Then Frodo's tears came running down his cheek. He didn't even look back.
"Back in Shire," He sobbed, "I had some difficulties with Bilbo. He was always off to some journey, and I didn't like that… then came Gandalf. He told me about the ring, and what would happen to him… I got scared of Bilbo, and told him that I wished none of this had happened. Then he told me at that point. We are supposed to follow the time that it was given to us. But I can't do that. Now Gandalf's gone and…"
"Frodo, there is nothing to worry about," Hothien comforted him, "everyone has gone through such time like you. You are still young. You must live on, as Bilbo did. I'm sure he went through hard times as well. Just promise me, that you will not give up…"
"Hothien…" Frodo stammered.
"Now follow Hothien's advice and let us go!"
"Gandalf!" Legolas said, "You were safe! How I'm glad to see you again."
"Where are Boromir and Hothien?" Gimli asked from behind.
"I'm not really sure," Vebriclya answered in pain. But then she smiled and said, "I think Legolas have fixed my problem of talking too much. He taught me just in a flick, while mother tried to fix it all her life. Thank you Legolas."
