~ One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. ~
"I pronounce you The Fellowship of the Ring!" Elrond's voice rang throughout the clearing. The nine people looked at each other. They had pledged their allegiance, there would be no turning back...they would either complete this quest or die trying.
"Well..." Frodo began when there was a bright flash of light...it was so bright that everyone had to close their eyes. Each person felt a sense of peace wash over them and for a moment, they completely forgot about the duty that had been placed on their shoulders.
Finally, they could open their eyes in a squint. The light was no longer a blinding white, instead, a multicolor of light, gently washed over the area. Silver, blue, red, green, orange, black-green, aqua, yellow, and deep purple were the only colors then could make out. There was another...shimmering milk white...or something along those lines. Suddenly, there was a burst of magic so powerful that Legolas staggered back. Elrond stood still, but you could see the shock on his face.
A soft whispering music echoed throughout the air and the lights slowly faded away. The rest of the occupants opened their eyes and stared at the source. There, in the air, floated a girl...no, a lady. She had silver hair that was done in two buns on either side of her head. From those buns, streams of silky silver trailed down, touching the floor despite the lady's height. She wore a long flowing white gown that was simple, yet elegant. On her forehead an upturned crescent moon shone brilliantly. But that wasn't what surprised everyone. No, that wasn't it; what truly caught everyone off guard was the fact that a pair of pearl white wings extended from her back. Slowly, she floated to the ground, and the wings disappeared.
"Cripes!" Merry said, looking at the unmoving figure with wide, disbelieving eyes, "I think she's hurt!"
Legolas frowned and strode over to the prone girl. She was, as Merry said, hurt...and hurt badly. Various bruises decorated her arms, there were scratches on her face, but the worst was a huge gash on her neck. Picking her up gently, he said, "Someone tried to slit her throat but didn't succeed. However, if we don't heal her soon, she'll die from blood loss."
Elrond nodded and said, "Take her to the east wing and heal her. I will finish up here."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Legolas stared sadly at the sleeping girl. She was tossing and turning on the bed, wet tears trickling down her face. He had healed most of the wounds on her to the best of his ability, but there was nothing he could do about the demons that plagued her mind. Questions plagued his mind as her traced the crescent moon on her forehead. {Who is she? Why is she here? Where did she come from?}
Suddenly, her eyes snapped open. Legolas gasped in surprise. Usually, patients weren't supposed to wake up for another day or two, but she had managed to in an hour. Her eyes though, they were a deep cerulean blue. He could see her soul through those ageless eyes. The pain...sorrow...and torture...he could see it all. Those eyes tugged at his heart, begging him to help this lost soul. Gently, he reached down to wipe away her tears. Noticing her flinch he said, "Don't be afraid; I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Legolas Greenleaf, may I know yours?"
The lady opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out. Her eyes widened as new tears flooded down her face. She couldn't speak! Instantly, Legolas knew what was wrong. While someone didn't succeed in killing her, the cut had been enough to damage her vocal cords; even elves couldn't fix that. Looking at the crying girl, Legolas hesitated. What was he supposed to do? Comforting crying females was not his area of expertise.
"Umm...Miss? Are you okay?" Legolas asked while mentally slapping himself. {Of course she's not okay! If she were, she wouldn't be crying! Still...we can't keep calling her Miss. Yet, we won't even know her name now that she can't talk...}
{Usagi...Usagi} A voice echoed throughout Legolas's head. His eyes widened. Could she be a telepathic? He had heard that other races besides Elves had mastered that technique.
Concentrating, Legolas directed his thoughts to the girl. {Are you a telepathic, Miss?}
In reply, all he 'heard' was, {Usagi...me...Usagi} Okay, maybe he was wrong. Still, it seemed like those thoughts were coming from her. Perhaps she was new at this. {Only one way to find out} he thought. Out loud he asked, "Is your name Usagi?"
The girl, Usagi, nodded her head and wiped her tears away. Looking up at Legolas through wide, trusting eyes, she pointed at her stomach, which made a loud gurgling noise. Legolas laughed as Usagi blushed in embarrassment. Reaching down, he helped her out of bed, "Come on, lets go get you something to eat."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Legolas walked down the hallway with Usagi skipping in front of him. He had taken her to the kitchens where she amazed everyone with the amount of food that she ate. How could so much food be consumed by one so small? It was another mystery that they had yet to solve. Sighing, he ran to catch up with the skipping girl. Grabbing one of Usagi's arms, he steered her towards the gardens. "Stay here. There's someone I need to talk to."
She looked up at him with wide, sorrowful eyes, and Legolas couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving her here. Still, he couldn't talk to Elrond with her present. Legolas turned to leave when he felt a tugging on his sleeve. Facing Usagi once more, he noticed her bottom lip quivering; a telltale sign that she was about to cry. "Usagi, please don't cry!" Legolas desperately said; he didn't know how he would deal with more tears from her, they made him nervous, "Look, I'll only be gone for a short while, why don't you look at the flowers?"
Slowly, Usagi let go of Legolas and turned around. While she pretended to feel interested in the flowers, Legolas could tell that she thought he was abandoning her. Now he really felt bad. Still...there was nothing he could do.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Usagi silently sighed and dropped her act when she heard Legolas go away. {Will he leave me like all the others? Senshi...wait a minute, who is the senshi?}
{A part of your past that you left behind.}
{Who are you?}
{...a part of you that you've pushed away...beside, you can't blame this all on Legolas, he's just trying to do what he thinks is best...after all, he did save us}
{Us?}
{...}
The voice in her head was silent. Usagi sighed and lay down on the grass, was she crazy, hearing voices in her head? Still, did voices make sense? Hers certainly did...well, except for that 'past' part and the part about 'us'. When did life get so confusing? Salty tears dripped down her face and fell onto the ground, seeping into the grass.
One of the tears started to glow. There was a flash of light and a small crystal dropped into Usagi's palm. It was a silver crystal burning with a blue inner light. It seemed to wink at her...well, as much as a crystal could wink. It flashed once, twice, and blinked out of existance. Suddenly, Usagi felt a light weight on her neck. Looking down, she realised that the crystal had attatshed itself to golden chain that hung around her neck, reflecting the light.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Legolas knocked on teh huge oak door. There was a pause and a voice said, "Come in, the door's unlocked." Legolas opened the door to come face to face with Elrond.
Bowing before the great Elf King, Legolas said, "M'lord." Elrond nodded and raised his hand, signaling for Legolas to stand up. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"No, Legolas, I was just talking to Gandalf here. We've decided to leave in two hours. You wanted to say?" Elrond questioned.
"Great Elrond, the girl that appeared before us was Usagi. I have been able to heal her, but it seems that her vocal chords have been damaged. She will not beable to speak anymore, but I suspect she will regain some parts of her voice. However, she has shown the potential to speak telepathicaly. While she is not a strong sender, she can get her point across. I also believe..." Legolas heasitated and looked from Elrond to Galdalf, and back to Elrond again. "I also belive she con preform some powerful magic. Her aura is quite strong. Maybe even stronger than yours."
"That's impossible!" Elrond stated, "While I believe she may be able to do magic, for the way she appeared is unusual, and she has been able to wake up so soon after healing , I do not think her magic will be stronger than mine."
"Nothing is impossible, Elrond. You, of all people should know, nothing is impossible. There are other forces that we can not see, which are at work. Only they know what is possible and what isn't. Only they know what the future has in store for us." Gandalf quietly spoke. Rising from his seated position, he looked at Legolas in the eye. "In a world such as ours, you must always expect the unexpected; never loose hope, because once you do, the battle is lost before it has even begun."
