AN: Ok just to fill you in on some of the details of the movie if you haven't seen it; Willow was a hobbit like being called a Nelwyn, who was given the task of protecting Elora Danan when she was a baby. She was prophecised to be the one who would destroy the evil Queen Bavmorda who had been terrorizing the people and taking over every kingdom that opposed her. Willow met up with Madmartigan, a theif and great swordsman who helped him in his fight(played by Val Kilmer). So they fought Bavmorda along with two brownies(miniature men about five inches tall) and a good sorceress named Fin Raziel. Also when they were fighting Bavmorda's troops their leader, Bavmorda's daughter Sorsha, fell in love with Madmartigan and joined the side of good. Bavmorda ended up killing herself when she messed up a powerful ritual(thanks to Willow) while trying to kill Elora and it backfired on her.

In my story she didn't die(if Sauron can do it so can she) she was just 'gone'. So now the prophetic child that was so important in the movie has grown up and she must now fulfill her destiny and kill the evil queen. I'm writting it like LOTR's and Willow are the same lands, just seperated by a huge wilderness that nobody crosses. But Elora has to because not only is Bavmorda attacking her lands but Middle-earth as well. Along the way she'll meet ton's of LOTR's characters like Legolas, Eomer, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gandalf to name a few(I may throw in a hobbit or two). Willow however won't appear in this, just consider him a happy little Nelwyn who raised many babies and lived a happy life. It's a work in progress so keep looking for new chapters. Thanx, and I hope you like it!



Chapter Two

Many day's into her journey Elora could feel Cherlindrea in her mind. She was less than a day from the wood and the closer she got the faster she went. She had five men with her, some of her father's best. Including the son of her father's best friends from long ago. Her father had named his first son Airk after his friend who died trying to save her. His son Morgan was a valiant warrior and she'd known him since she could remember. She felt selfish for pushing them so much, but she was too anxious to stop and camp.

They continued on in silence, keeping their horses at a steady pace. The men kept their eyes on the tree's and dark wood's around them. The threat of the creatures that had killed some of their own made them jumpy. They all halted when Elora raised a fist in the air and stopped her horse. For a moment she only sat in silence gazing ahead of her. A voice bommed in her head and she listened closely as Cherlindrea's words flowed into her mind.

"Hello Elora Danan, I've been waiting for your return. The forest sings whenever you are near. And now you are needed to protect these lands from an evil thought to be vanquished long ago. Come alone into my presence..."

"M'Lady?" One of the men said as he looked to the others with a shrug. She didn't respond at first, but after a pause she turned her horse to face them.

"Stay here for the night." She said as they looked around themselves warily. "These woods are protected by Cherlindrea, and being more powerful than you can imagine. Nothing would dare harm you here. I will be back in the morning." She turned her horse and continued on, but hoof beats stopped her. She turned to see Morgan trotting up to her.

"Elora." He said quietly so the men wouldn't hear the informal address. "You can't go alone!" She shook her head as he stopped next to her.

"Morgan I'll be fine, you can't come with me." She said as he frowned and lifted his hands.

"Why not? I promised your father I would protect you." He said as she sighed, her face softeneing, but her resolve stood firm.

"Because I'm asking you to. We are all protected here, I will return shortly. Understood?" She finished with a firm tone in her voice her eyes fixed on his. He stared at her for a moment before turning back.

"As you wish." The words were quiet and she almost didn't hear them. She took a deep breath and urged her brown stallion further into the tree's.

After a mile or so she entered a clearing and stopped. Their were tiny bugs flying through the air, leaving streaks behind them as they zipped around her. As she looked closer she saw that they were fairies, tiny little fairies that smiled and said her name as they fluttered by.

Suddenly there was a light from above her and she looked up, getting off her horse and dropping to one knee at the sight of her.

"There is no need to kneel to me your majesty." Cherlindrea. Her voice echoed and yet clung to the air as she spoke. "You must fulfill your destiny to protect these lands, but in order to do so you must travel far away to another." The beautiful ghostly being seemed to flow in the air, her white robes fluttering as if they were water.

"What do you mean?" Elora asked when she found her voice.

"Bavmorda. I know you can feel it, the evil closing in. She lives." The words hit the young woman like a blow but she couldn't say she was surprised. The very essence of Bavmorda has haunted her every day since she was defeated, but never had she thought that she was still a threat.

"How?"

"The only way for Bavmorda to truely be defeated is by your hand alone, it has been forseen. She was weakened and bidded her time, for many years she was trapped in a void world neither flesh nor dead. And now she has returned, and taken control of the western land of Mordor. One none from these lands have seen save Bavmorda herself." Elora was still for a long moment, her eyes closed, her straight blonde hair flowed in the warm breezes that seemed to circle her and Cherlindrea. She looked to the Fairie Queen.

"Tell me what I must do." Cherlindrea smiled.

"I will send you there, along with your friend." The white queen looked to the treeline and Elora turned. Morgan walked into the clearing, jaw gaping at what he was seeing. He bowed his head and Cherlindrea smiled. "I will not chastise you for your heart his pure and countenance humble." She said with a smile.

"I will send you to meet an Istari that many call Gandalf, he is a powerful wizard. You must not go into Mordor for it will spell your doom, Bavmorda will seek you out. She hunts you like no other, she fears you. You alone have the power to kill her."

"But how? She is a powerful sorceress, I have a stout heart and a sword." Cherlindrea shook her head.

"No. You have much more than that, you were born with the ability and I have held it from you until this moment." Elora frowned, not having a clue as to what she meant. "This was bestowed to your ancestors long ago, when your bloodline were the kings of all these lands. Do not be afraid" As soon as the words were said a puzzled Elora gasped. A great golden light was passed from the luminous being to the human girl kneeling before her and for a moment they were almost as one. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her breath was stolen from her.

Morgan covered his eyes as the blinding light covered everything in sight. He fell to his knee's as a powerful wind shot from where Elora stood then, as suddenly as it had come, the light was gone. Elora stood silent, her body tremoring as she took in a deep breath.

Her body seemed to hum, she felt as though she were falling a deep thrill ran through her but she simply willed it to stop and it did. She looked at her hands, then trailed her gaze back to the Fairie before her.

"You weild the power of light in it's purest form. The light of your soul is your weapon and a strong weapon it is. For it can annihilate evil and banish it to the shadow where it came from. You shall use this to kill Bavmorda, and her evil shall leave this place for all eternity. But you must not go to the land of Mordor, it's poisonous lands will drain you and make you weak. It is why she hides there, it is her only defense from you." When she finished she accended to the sky.

"But wait, how will I find her if I cannot reach her? What of the creatures she controls?" She shouted as the queen began to fade.

"You will find many who will guide you. The creatures are many but you will prevail. First seek out Gandalf, then you must face Bavmorda in the man kingdom of Gondor." Her voice was nearly gone and Elora was desperately trying hear anything else from the great queen. "You will have many to guide you on your quest, but beware those who would decieve you." The great queen was nearly gone but her voice was still rolling like a whisper in the cool air.

"Gwaihir, lord of eagles shall take you..." Her voice trailed off until it could be heard no more. Elora looked around her and sighed, she was gone. The fairies zipped by but she didn't notice them. She felt suddenly alone, she wanted Cherlindrea to come back and tell her this would be easy.

"Elora!" Morgan said as he walked to her, gripping her shoulders. "What was that? Are you alright?" He asked as she nodded.

"I'm fine, but I have no idea who Gwaihir is and I don't know where we are to go. What will happen here while I'm gone?" Morgan looked around them and let out a deep breath.

"I don't know, maybe we should go back to the..."

A great cry from above them cut him off and they both drew their swords as a huge eagle soared above the field, illuminated by the dawning light. He slowed and flapping his great wings landed in the center of the clearing. He stood regally and blinked his sharp yellow eyes at them. Then he pulled one wing down to the ground and lay his head down.

"Son of a peck." Morgan said as Elora walked to the eagle fearlessly. When she stood next to him she turned to Morgan.

"Gwaihir." She said as Morgan frowned.

"How do you know?" He asked as she tilted her head at the huge bird. Without a reply she climbed onto his back and settled herself against his neck.

"He said so, you didn't hear him?" Morgan gave her a look that said he thought she was mad. He shook his head and rushed back to Elora's horse, her pack had fallen to the ground somehow and he bent down to pick it up. Taking it with, he climbed on behind Elora very cautiously and they held on as the huge bird began to climb into the air.



Ok Airk was Madmatigan's best friend who died in 'Willow'. This is his son(my character) who now is a member of the army of Tir Asleen(pronounced 'Teer-As-leen).

Cherlindrea is a luminous being that appears in the woods, she's the fairie queen. Kind of a Galadriel type.

Send me word on how I'm doing!
