This is a bit of a time jump. Now they are in Mordor, near the human
colony. Mordor is a nice happy place now…but evil is still around, as shown
in this chapter. Elvish speech is in ' '. Enjoy!
*************************************************************
Legolas stood at the edge of the ridge that overlooked the valley where the human colony lay. He remembered how grim and desolate Mordor had looked during the war of the ring, and now he smiled, for the grass was green and the sun was shining. It was amazing what a little hope and hard work could create.
'Legolas!' cried Haldir in elvish, interrupting his thoughts, making him spin around. He gasped in horror. Orcs, thousands of them, came running over the fields, making the grass blacken and die underneath their feet.
Wasting no more time Legolas strung an arrow in his bow, rapidly firing at the advancing creatures. Haldir did the same, and Gimli began hacking away with his axe.
'It's no good!' shouted Haldir, perspiration pouring down his face, while firing his last arrow. 'There are too many of them!'
'We have to keep fighting!' Legolas replied, taking out his twin white knives, and taking up a defensive stance. Orcs leered at him and he launched himself at them, killing as many as possible. But soon he realized that hopes of winning were very slim and chances of survival were even worse.
Suddenly a loud horn sounded and Legolas felt his heart skip a beat. The men of the colony down below finally seemed to realize there was a battle going on and they rode up the cliff to aid the two elves and the dwarf. As the men chased after the remaining orcs, Legolas ran over to Haldir who was suffering from a minor wound to his head. Tenderly he lifted the unconscious elf and began searching for someone who could help them. Tentitivly he tapped one of the men on horseback on the shoulder.
"Excuse me sir, but my companions and I were trying to reach the colony, when we got attacked. Could you lead us there please?"
"So you were the ones who defended us for so long," said the man. "Well I thank you, and I will gladly take you and your companions down. But when we get there you will have to see the captain."
Legolas nodded and he and Gimli followed the human glad for a rest. Legolas however wanted to know whom this captain was and why his men seemed to think so highly of him. It wasn't often that you found a captain of human soldiers that got so much respect and reverence from his troops. Thinking about this reminded him of Faramir, but he shook that thought away, knowing that the only way he'd see him again was through Aragorn, and that was the man he was really looking forward to seeing.
A/N: Guess who the captain is! Winners will receive…well I dunno but you'll get something!
