~ Entagled Destiny ~
Chapter 7: Making of a destiny.
an: argh don't blame, me, because I am gonna have to twist of Frodo and Sam meeting Faramir and Co. *grins* and Attack at Helm's deep will be uhh said in my own words...So it doesn't sound like a copy from the book O_o... A love triangle develops..oh dear...insanity of love triangle.
hint. Put a Teleri elf(Sindarin) and a Child of Light and finally Vanyan elf in it and see what happens!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity and Frodo and Sam spied on the large encampment of Orcs and other foul creatures. It was large, for them it was convinient to dispatch several small armies of them to different parts. It seemed like they were never ending supply of them.
Serenity~
Serenity thought wryly at the thought of even with her power, to get trhough them. It was suicidal mission , if she did. Arghh it meant they had to take the long way, through Gondor again, but lower. Serenity sighed and sat down more comfotably in the rocky outlook they chose, it was hidden from view, yet they could see the outside the Emyn Muil.
"Lady Serenity , we will have to take the long way...I am afraid" Frodo said politely, mistaking her sigh as of being disappointed.
"Oh no! Frodo, that's not what I was sighing about, because...I wish I was more strong, to get through them.But it seems like
there is endless supply of them, like huge stash of goodies stuffed away in Mordor" Frodo smiled and Sam grinned.
"Let's get moving shall we? we have a very heavy load to carry" Serenity motioned her hands and they started to walk towards Gondor.
Helm's Deep~
Nothing was as intense seeing enemy, dark ones appear like huge black waves that stayed. They seemed to keep coming.
Aragorn prayed that ring bearer and those who accompanied was safe. He silently looked Legolas and Gimli, both so different, yet so dedicated to fight this evil. Aragorn smiled slightly Gandalf came up, with his sword in hand.
"You carry that sword with great care, Gandalf my friend" Aragorn mentioned.
"It is a great gift, of course elven origin, They make things to last...this is very old...made by one of the greatst elven king" Gandalf waved the plain sword of his in the air. Despite of looking like an old man, Aragorn suspected him to be more powerful then he showed. Like a deadly power calmly controlled under that gentle surface. He maybe of men, but he hopes in his extended life time as a Numenorian, he can come to understand Gandalf.
"Aragorn, I wish My father would lend us at least 20 archers, it would make this situation less tense. They are coming in waves...I wonder if Frodo, Sam and Lady Serenity is okay?I hope my home is not totally taken over by darkness." Legolas's expression was seren and slightly worried.
Aragorn smiled "I understand Legolas, I am sure, Frodo is much alive and so is the rest. I suspect you are concerned about a particular person in Frodo's party" Aragorn grinned widely as Legolas's sky blue eyes looked startled.
"How...?"
"I saw you, it reminded me of when I met Arwen, and was in dispair and worried.I kept thinking like you did last few days.Except of course there was some hesitation from Lord Elrond, for he wasn't ready to give up his daughter so easily and let her throw away her immortality for a Men. I promised him something, if I succed I shall be worthy of my Lady" Aragorn slapped his should gently."Love is wonderful but also can bring us chaos of emotions be careful and treasure every moment. Sometimes it is your strength when it seems the world is gone."
Legolas nodded "Thank you Aragorn, Look, Theoden comes" Legolas thougth carefully over Aragorn's words as Theoden spoke to Aragorn over some stretegy. How did he know? Was that the trace of elven wisdom left in the Numenorian King Line? Was this the reason why Elrond diligently looked after Aragorn and treated him jsut like own son? because of that, he was his own brother's descendent? or did wise and respected Lord of Imraldis know more then most elves have previously thought?So many answers he did not have been formed in last few months.His eyes closed briefly and saw a intense pair of bluest eyes. It seemed so sweetly tranquil and yet so sad at the same time.He woke again to the sound of the war cry from the dark evil that awaited them.
(An: I forgot where Faramir and Frodo met...O_o...So I am gonna have to pin point a good location for their meeting ^^...Insanity of love triangle is coming.)
Serenity grumbled and wished she had a pair of knee high rubber boots. But her elven clothing was far more practical then her white one she wore from Rivendell. Frodo sudeenly stopped, Serenity looked up and stopped too. A company of Men coming towards them.Their banners were adorned with a white tree.
"Who goes there? an elf?and halflings?" It was easy to mistake her for an elf, she had height(ever since becoming an adult she has become rather tall) and halflings, it was easy to tell.
"I am Serenity, and this is Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gangee" Serenity quickly added "and I am not an elf".
The young man of fine face took off his helmet and looekd at her again."You wear of elven clothing, my lady"
"That's because...it was gifted by an elven lord, and please tell me where you have come from, for I am stranger in these parts of middle earth" Serenity said it quietly.
"I suppose you are no harm if an elven lord will gift you...I am Faramir, younger son of the Steward of Gondor..." Faramir seems to fade before quickly recovering his voice."What of the intention that you travel in such peril times?"
Serenity looked at him quietly for awhile, without speaking anything."We travel to destory a great evil, Lord Faramir to do that we musk risk our life by entering Mordor, for northern border seems to be blocked by the orcs and the like." Her voice was controlled with tones, a voice of natural authority.
Faramir asked again "The great evil is?"
"Sauron, destruction of Sauron for all eternity is our goal" Serneity stood in front of Frodo and Sam, sparing them the looks that entire group gave them.
"The great evil? but...how can you destory it? surely not by your selves..." Faramir was starting to look concerned.
"I perfectly okay, so does Frodo and Sam, we are quiet capable of it, I belive" Sernity's voice for once showing strain, but of under enormous control.Her Cerulean blue eyes was hard and bright.
"Please do not mistake me, I was sondering if you would like to come to Minith Tirith with us" Faramir smiled open young man's smile at Serenity before allowing her to use one of the spare horses they usually had.
Faramir~
Faramir was so sure she was an elf, how could anyone but an elf suppose to look that beutiful? she have shown him that she wasn't and elf even though she carried a light bow and arrows just like an elf, by showing her unpointy ears. Well..what was she then? He looked at her again, she as silvery blond hair, and bluest eyes he ever saw. Too perfect for human being. Maybe in Minith Tirith she will tell him more.
Helm's Deep~
It was gruesome fight, Legolas never thanked more of his elven abilities.Many have died but Aragorn was alive, so was Eomar and Gimli. Legolas looked out around him, it was very indeed gruesome if that could describe it properly.
He realised his wishes to see a pair of ceruelan blue eyes again, had kept him going through the battle without realising. They were out numbered, but they were scared of the Andruil, reforged sword of Narsil and indeed also afraid of Gandalf.
He wasn't scratched or drop dead tired, but for some reason something kept tugging at his heart about Lady Serenity. What could it be?
Minith Tirith~
"Lady Serenity, please come and meet my father" Faramir carefully told her of his father's wish to see her.
"Ah please sit down, Lady Serenity" An eldery men of maybe 60's was sitting down on plain but still elegantly carved wooden chair.
"I heard from Faramir that you are travelling to destory a great evil, please sit down and relax so we may know what's hapepning, for this city faces the entry into Mordor..and I wish to protect my people" eldery man gestured to a more cushioned seat not far from him.
Serenity smiled nervously and flicked out her power an so she looked composed and helped her to come down, whilst an illusion will give her time. She started with her finding her self at Rivendell.
Faramir quietly spoke up inthe end "So, my older brother have already met you..."
"Older brother?"
"Yes, Boromir, he was such a brave person, he was a great person as I always looked up to him"
"I tried to save him...but I guess I failed...like I failed to save Gandalf"
Serenity looked oddly at calm, with that announcement.
"Such is fate, I wonder if I can meet it? if I ever did, I wished that it could change the fate that I have come through..but then..was it destiny? I am not sure anymore...it's been distant memories...too many to think...do you agree not, that we all seem like chess pieces on a chess game between Destiny and Fate?"
Faramir agreed immediatly. His father nodded slowly, thinking deeply. "You indicate to us that you have lived a long time"
Serenity laughed, "Someone said something similar before, yes, why I am nearly 3000 years old"
Faramir's fine eyes smiled at his father's eyes nearly bulged.
" I thought you were.. of Men culture? are you of Numenorian line?"
"No...I am immortal...back home, those who were reborn forver are considered to be immortal...for they may die physically, but their spirits are immortal and never die"
A servent came into inform them it was dinner time, and Serenity was glad, because she was going to be very hungry soon.
Next day at Minith Tirith~
"Faramir! Faramir!" Frantic voice fo his father woke him from watching Lady Serenity from his room to the garden where she was walking.
"A carrier pigeon have arrived with some dreadful news...Rohan needs our help, they belive there is another messing of Mordor army even after massive first wave, and many have died, and can not withstand another attack successfully...I believe I want to consult you on this" Faramir nodded, when Serenity came in.
"Good morning Sir..." Serenity looked at both of their troubled face. "Is something wrong?"
"Rohan, an ally country is in trouble, For King Theoden of Rohan and his guest Lord Aragorn have asked for help to aid Rohan, for they expect a second wave of attack, for so may of their own died in their first victory."
"Aragorn??!?!?" Serenity yelled suprising her self and the other two.
"Ah...yes, they are currently at Helm's Deep. Preparing fast as possible for another onslaught. But I belive the enemy with try to clear the plain before the Helm's Deep first of their own dead. I am hoping it had give us enough time... " Faramir explained the situation and saw seren face of Lady Serenity wash over with regret or longing? Was she in love with Aragorn?
Later at the evening~
"You are going on your journey Lady Sernity tomorrow, I believe" Faramir came and sat down next to her in the garden as the night set in.
For sometime they didn't speak.
"I have noticed that you seemed to have some regret or longing? is there someone that you know at Helm's Deep, have regret over?" Faramir looked at her.
Serenity's eyes were beautiful, almost inhumanly beautiful in moonlight. "I do, but it is for middle earth's safety for I loved my homeland so dearly yet much as I protected it to my bes tof abilities, it was gone."Serenity paused briefly before continuing,"I don't know, it's just some regret I have, also to Aragorn, Gimli and other halflings...though I wish I could have saved Gandalf and Boromir...they died and I didn't try hard enough..." Serenity's eyes were blurred by tears.
Faramir did something unexpected, reminding her of Endymion. He kissed her forehead, "Please do not cry Lady Serenity, tears don't suit your beautiful face. There is nothing about our own destiny we can do about. I accepted that myself the hard way...do not let guilt over power you my lady for time for grieving can only be made when we if possibly trimph over evil, till then don't let those fears upset you" He took her hand and and looked at her.
Serenity was finally able to recover and gently take out her hand from his. "I think I better go in Lord Faramir...for I need rest before tomorrow's journey...but perhaps, fate will twist again and making of a new destiny is formed"
Faramir looked at her until she faded into the hallway with a slow sighing.
That night at Minith Tirith~
Serenity was asleep not totally, but at elast more peaceful then, when sleeping outdoors. Her dream were yet again something more to solve and yet added another piece of mystery to this mythical strange world.
[Dream Sequence]
Serenity was at peace in the dream, she wasn't afraid of anything, there was absolute tranquility within her. It was just great, free and wonderful all in one. She walked a strangely beautiful garden with bare feet, but it never got dirty or anything of like, instead the garden felt soft and smooth and clean.
Serenity raised her head when she heard of a murmur of noises. There was a beautiful women with golden hair and her brow decorated with jewels like stars and 4 other figures aorund her. She recognised Ithilril, Ithilelda and another lady who looked similar to Ithilelda but more golden in hair color and lastly of all, her mother!
Serenity wanted to run to her mother whom she haven't seen for a long time, but something seems to be holding her back. But she could hear their words clearly, as if they were in front of her.
"Lady Elbereth, The Hither land is trouble again, Should the Valar and Valier just watch again before it's too late?, just like before? with Melkor?" Her mother asked the Lady with golden hair and star jewels in her brow.
Lady Elbereth sighed neatly, "I do not know Ithilele, things are of Eru's creation, much as we still are masters of the planet over his children the First born and the Folloer, some are inevitable to happen. Soon if all goes well Eldar will return to the west, unless they choose otherwise" Elberth paused for a brief moment before continuing, "If all goes worst, some of Vanyan Elves, and some of the Lords of the West will go to war, for I do not wish for their total elimination"
The third lady with more of golden hair then Ithilelda spoke next, "But our line have come back, from so far a place, for we have protected the dear place for so long, beyond count...gift of Eru have aided us in the protecting of the world but surely it shall be more effective when it comes back to where it started? or is that not until Mordor returns to what it was before Ithilelda left to save the other world, that we can not have the peace of mind?" She paced aorund the seat she was sitting.
"Ithilnor, you should talk to other Valar, for you are the one who sat up the guardian system in the other world, I believe it will be much more easier to talk to other Valar about it then it is with me for the area is not my expertise" Ithilnor smiled and curtsied and started walking away.
Elbereth stood up from her seat on pedestal, then addressed all those who came before her, in her line.
"Today a Destiny is being made, a new Destiny. Ithilril, Ithielda, Ithilnor and Ithilele. You all know the Destiny that is being made, go, to the Hither land and help for Earendil's descendent is in trouble, the only thing Sauron fears now. Sauron shall not fell the Hopes of the Hither land" All remaining three bowed and from their hand a banner appeared, attached to a white wooden pole, It had a Crescent moon and a many pointed star sewn on it.
"For the glory of the Crystal Tower! it shall rise again and bring the peace long lost!" all three spoke loudly in unison. and all of them glowed, and with a brilliant flash of light they were dressed similar in pearl and silver armour, that seems to glow with magick or moonlight and a they floated gently with their white wings. Serenity was sure she saw several distant figures coming towards them too, but she was being pulled away, by invisible force.
The united voices of the three seems to echo around her, as if it was like a wind.
[End of Dream sequence]
Serenity woke with a start, it was just dawn. Serenity grumbled and wished that these dreams would end a little bit late, for she felt alittle sleepy still. A habbit she still hasn't got rid of completly.
Serenity sighed and got up instead and realised that her elven clothing has been cleaned and layed out and there was warm fire going. Her mouth twitched and saddened at hte same time relaising that she missed Rei-chan's ever warming and wise fire that burne dinthe palace magickally. It kept the poeple warm and also told them of any future, wisdom or anything athat may concern the kingdom.But all that was gone, due to her failure to protect her people. Serenity shook her head fiercly at her self and forced herself to concentrate on the task at hand, to save Middle Earth and making her own Destiny.
Srenity for once, changed her hair style and let it loose like Ithilril but sides been braided so it wouldn't get into her eyes. Serenity sighed and walked out the door to be nearly smacked into Faramir who was just about to knock her door.
"Lady Serenity! I am to accompany the 300 men which whom my father have dispatched to help Rohan in their cause. I was wondering if you have any message for me to carry onto Rohan and will I ever see you again Lady Serenity? your road is heavy and dark as the Ring bearer, I wish you well and Frodo too and Sam too. farewell my lady, and I hope we will see each other again" Faramir smiled to mask his sad feeling.
Serenity smiled in return, "May light protect you and your men, so much dangers out there, I pay for safety of you all" Serenity paused before speaking again "I wish you well, Lord Faramir, I am sure Boromir would be proud of you, and please send my luck to Aragorn and the rest, they will need it...and tell them keep themselves alive until I come" Serenity then shook his hand and slung her self onto her horse and so did the rest of her group.
Serenity waved until she could she them no more, then finally fell silent. Serenity sighed slightly as she hoped Frodo will not be pained as they neared the Mordor.
Helm's deep~
They kept an weary eye on all around the wall more carefully, they can't make the same mistake again.There only hope was that Gondor will send someof their men to help them win this battle.
Aragorn sighed quietly, Legolas was inspecting his bow and Gimli polishing his axe.It was typical ever since their first victory against the Sauron's dark army. Then someone came running in, "Lord Aragorn! please come and look! There are some people wanting to see you. if you please will follow me" the messenger gestured to the open court not far away.
"I will, tell them I will see them" Aragorn said quietly but in strained voice. Aragorn thought carefully as he saw the messenger disappear before himself started to walk in the direction, Legolas and Gimli and Merry followed him to the open court.
When Aragorn finally appeared in the open court, he saw what he didn't expected to see, a group of people clad for battle but their faces were elven. He saw the banner of the host and almost reeled back in suprise. It was white,one of the many white banners of the Lords of the west!. He have heard in legend from Lord Elrond about the Eldar days, when Earendil was still alive fighting Melkor...that Lords of the West's banner was all white, all of them.
"Ahh, Heir of Isildur, We have come in a bit of hurry, but it is pleasing to meet you" One of the elven male came forward putting out his hand in friendly gesture. "Yes...but how did you come through all those orcs? I could see no other way..." Aragorn trailed off when one of the elven ladies smiled at his question. "My name is Eresion, I believe your name is Aragorn?" The Elf who came forward spoke introducing himself, then he gestured to the female elf beside him. Aragorn thought something was familiar about her. "This is Ithilnor, third Child of light, and the one next to her is the first one, Ithilril, then the second Ithilelda and the next is the fourth Ithilele. Their magick brought us here, opened a gateway to Middle earth" He paused then went on to introducing 20 more male elves that came with him. "Finally he said, well it's been distant memory since Vanyan Elves has been in Middle earth" He casually commented about it.
Legolas looked at all of the Child of light and blinked "Ah..I am sorry to interrupt, but Child of Light! did I see the ladies before? chasing the orcs in plains of Rohan?" All four looked at each other and laughed "Sure you did, Elf Legolas, we were scouting the land at request of Ulmo, he felt a darkness rise and he felt it in his waters even. Now we have come to help. Mainly because Elbereth felt the darknening of the light here in the Middle earth"
Nobody said anything to that. "Well, I wanted to see Helm's deep defences and everything, would you mind Lord Theoden?if I insepected them?" Theoden was too shocked to say much, so Eomar immediatly agreed and took the one named Ithilnor and Ithilelda away to show what they left.
Legolas's eyes kept looking back at the one named Ithilele, she looked almost like Lady Serenity, except she had pale lavender sheen to her silver hair. Ithilele suddenly looked at him and smiled, and came up to him "Elf Legolas, is something that worries you?"
Legolas immediatly stopped thinking and replied "No, Lady Ithilele, I was just thinking of someone I knew", to his suprise, Lady Ithilele smiled mysteriously then nodded when one of the Vanyan elves called to her and went away.
Near Minith Mogul~
Serenity felt more and more of dark energy coming from the land of Mordor as they went a step nearer to e dark land. feared by many, only few chose to walk in it. Serenity had feeling of dread creep slowly into her heart, something was gong to happen and it was inevitable.
Helm's Deep~
(AN:Every member of the fellowship's thought collection here! and maybe few more)
Aragorn POV~
Things are turning out for better, for now, but noone can deny the tension that is present between us, for we wait for the men from Gondor to relieve us. How much more can we stand of this, we do not know but only hope these amazing Children of light will be our hope, shall help from Gondor fail to reach us in time.
They have demonstrated us of their power, just a bit to assure us and others. It seems, that to me their light, aura seems to radiate hope and light. I wished over and over again that only if Saruman didn't betray us, we could have already be closer to destroying the evil that threatens the Middle earth.I pray to Illuvatar that he wouldn't let his children be enslaved by darkness.I only hope...
Gimli's POV~
I sometimes wonder what goes on the heads of others, Aragorn the most. For it seems that it was already written in the book of destiny, that this was to be his. Ii only hope the evil will be over come soon.I sometimes think Elves aren't bad at all, just some past that some elves still alive to remember that war between elves and Dwarves, that resulted in thousands of years of tension between two races.I only hope this will change that.
Merry's POV~
I never knew this was what that, or what me and Pippin thought tobe a simple quest will become. I just hope, Frodo and Sam is okay and so is Lady Serenity and to think about it, anyone that is fighting the evil!
Pippin's POV~
I well, is lucky to be alive so far, I just hope everyone will be alive by the end of this, but even me know some of us will die in this war.
Gandalf's POV~
So much sadness, tension and fate yet twirls in a delicate dance with destiny. This war has reached even the ears of the Valar, it is foretelling of greater revelation and greater scale of this war will become. I sometimes wonder was this the destiny of Men?
Legolas's POV~
Everything is so tense, and Every turn we take there seems to be a suprise. I have now met and seen the wonderous race of Children of Light, first ever creation of Illuvatar apart from Ainur and Valar before us all. And Vanyan Elves! they had the most beautiful voice, and wonderous knowledge that has been long lost to most elves in Middle earth.I wait, and wonder the fate of the elves when this war is over, will be the darkness that triumphs, or will it be light? there is a tugging at my heart, as it has been recently, I wonder if something have happened to Frodo, Sam and Lady Serenity? I still, fear for them, even in battles, I pray for them dearly for their safety.
Star of Earendil! please shine down on us your light of hope to us, help us win over the darkness that now covers the Middle earth. I pray for us all, and for Lady Serenity.
Ithilele(aka Queen Serenity)~
I keep wanting to see of my daughter's safety, her heart must be troubled. I have seen the destruction of Crystal Tokyo, yet I couldn't help.Every Valar, Eru and even Celebril, whom see met after coming to Valinor stopped myself, an almost impulse decision to throw myself back into the troubled world of Earth trying to save it.
I wasn't happy but I was won over by Celebril's dedication and love. We were content but underneath he knew I was saddened by death of Earth. It continued untill I felt Ginzuishou's presence here in this earth that Eru have created. I knew something was about to happen.
I see Menel-Galad coming, the one who is hoping to win the heart of my dear Srenity.I pray for your safety Serenity.may the Ginzuishou save you and destroy the evil.
Menel Galad's POV~
I have seen Lady Ithilele's daughter, through Lady Ithilele's magic I was able to see a lady of grace and beauty that seems to surpasses all those who have come before her. I hope to see her soon, I hope for her safety and everyone's.For as Lady Elbereth said, Hopes of Middle earth shall not fall.
There was a most loudest silence in Helm's Deep as the battle drew closer and closer. But somehow in everyone's heart, they knew that this wasn't the final battle, a bigger battle and perhaps if fate faovured them, they will win that battle too.They all only hoped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wooh....:D. he he.. sorry I had to have that love triangle! a Vanyan elf against Sindarin(Teleri Elf!) XD.... If you have read Simarillion, you will note, that Noldor Elves were known for their craftmanship and knowledge(like languages and scholastic stuff) and Vanyans were noted briefly to have the most beautiful voices out of the elves and of course knowledge, and Teleri were generally known as 'Sea Elves' and they have split into so many different lines. Best example of Teleri would be Lord Cirdan the Shipwright. I think it was also noted that Vanyan elves had hairs of gold?(aka beautiful blond hair! ^_^)
Yes a little boring please be patient, next scene brings us to a nice action chapter with now all of Children of light fighting at Helm's deep! and peril of the trio of Ring Bearer continues and Serenity is making history as she goes!a change that will change the Middle earth forever! *grins like an idot*
okay please R+R some feedback would be nice so I can see if you want a change or not for the future chapters.
Dream wind.
Chapter 7: Making of a destiny.
an: argh don't blame, me, because I am gonna have to twist of Frodo and Sam meeting Faramir and Co. *grins* and Attack at Helm's deep will be uhh said in my own words...So it doesn't sound like a copy from the book O_o... A love triangle develops..oh dear...insanity of love triangle.

Serenity and Frodo and Sam spied on the large encampment of Orcs and other foul creatures. It was large, for them it was convinient to dispatch several small armies of them to different parts. It seemed like they were never ending supply of them.

"Lady Serenity , we will have to take the long way...I am afraid" Frodo said politely, mistaking her sigh as of being disappointed.
"Oh no! Frodo, that's not what I was sighing about, because...I wish I was more strong, to get through them.But it seems like
there is endless supply of them, like huge stash of goodies stuffed away in Mordor" Frodo smiled and Sam grinned.
"Let's get moving shall we? we have a very heavy load to carry" Serenity motioned her hands and they started to walk towards Gondor.
Helm's Deep~
Nothing was as intense seeing enemy, dark ones appear like huge black waves that stayed. They seemed to keep coming.
Aragorn prayed that ring bearer and those who accompanied was safe. He silently looked Legolas and Gimli, both so different, yet so dedicated to fight this evil. Aragorn smiled slightly Gandalf came up, with his sword in hand.
"You carry that sword with great care, Gandalf my friend" Aragorn mentioned.
"It is a great gift, of course elven origin, They make things to last...this is very old...made by one of the greatst elven king" Gandalf waved the plain sword of his in the air. Despite of looking like an old man, Aragorn suspected him to be more powerful then he showed. Like a deadly power calmly controlled under that gentle surface. He maybe of men, but he hopes in his extended life time as a Numenorian, he can come to understand Gandalf.
"Aragorn, I wish My father would lend us at least 20 archers, it would make this situation less tense. They are coming in waves...I wonder if Frodo, Sam and Lady Serenity is okay?I hope my home is not totally taken over by darkness." Legolas's expression was seren and slightly worried.
Aragorn smiled "I understand Legolas, I am sure, Frodo is much alive and so is the rest. I suspect you are concerned about a particular person in Frodo's party" Aragorn grinned widely as Legolas's sky blue eyes looked startled.
"How...?"
"I saw you, it reminded me of when I met Arwen, and was in dispair and worried.I kept thinking like you did last few days.Except of course there was some hesitation from Lord Elrond, for he wasn't ready to give up his daughter so easily and let her throw away her immortality for a Men. I promised him something, if I succed I shall be worthy of my Lady" Aragorn slapped his should gently."Love is wonderful but also can bring us chaos of emotions be careful and treasure every moment. Sometimes it is your strength when it seems the world is gone."
Legolas nodded "Thank you Aragorn, Look, Theoden comes" Legolas thougth carefully over Aragorn's words as Theoden spoke to Aragorn over some stretegy. How did he know? Was that the trace of elven wisdom left in the Numenorian King Line? Was this the reason why Elrond diligently looked after Aragorn and treated him jsut like own son? because of that, he was his own brother's descendent? or did wise and respected Lord of Imraldis know more then most elves have previously thought?So many answers he did not have been formed in last few months.His eyes closed briefly and saw a intense pair of bluest eyes. It seemed so sweetly tranquil and yet so sad at the same time.He woke again to the sound of the war cry from the dark evil that awaited them.
(An: I forgot where Faramir and Frodo met...O_o...So I am gonna have to pin point a good location for their meeting ^^...Insanity of love triangle is coming.)
Serenity grumbled and wished she had a pair of knee high rubber boots. But her elven clothing was far more practical then her white one she wore from Rivendell. Frodo sudeenly stopped, Serenity looked up and stopped too. A company of Men coming towards them.Their banners were adorned with a white tree.
"Who goes there? an elf?and halflings?" It was easy to mistake her for an elf, she had height(ever since becoming an adult she has become rather tall) and halflings, it was easy to tell.
"I am Serenity, and this is Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gangee" Serenity quickly added "and I am not an elf".
The young man of fine face took off his helmet and looekd at her again."You wear of elven clothing, my lady"
"That's because...it was gifted by an elven lord, and please tell me where you have come from, for I am stranger in these parts of middle earth" Serenity said it quietly.
"I suppose you are no harm if an elven lord will gift you...I am Faramir, younger son of the Steward of Gondor..." Faramir seems to fade before quickly recovering his voice."What of the intention that you travel in such peril times?"
Serenity looked at him quietly for awhile, without speaking anything."We travel to destory a great evil, Lord Faramir to do that we musk risk our life by entering Mordor, for northern border seems to be blocked by the orcs and the like." Her voice was controlled with tones, a voice of natural authority.
Faramir asked again "The great evil is?"
"Sauron, destruction of Sauron for all eternity is our goal" Serneity stood in front of Frodo and Sam, sparing them the looks that entire group gave them.
"The great evil? but...how can you destory it? surely not by your selves..." Faramir was starting to look concerned.
"I perfectly okay, so does Frodo and Sam, we are quiet capable of it, I belive" Sernity's voice for once showing strain, but of under enormous control.Her Cerulean blue eyes was hard and bright.
"Please do not mistake me, I was sondering if you would like to come to Minith Tirith with us" Faramir smiled open young man's smile at Serenity before allowing her to use one of the spare horses they usually had.
Faramir~
Faramir was so sure she was an elf, how could anyone but an elf suppose to look that beutiful? she have shown him that she wasn't and elf even though she carried a light bow and arrows just like an elf, by showing her unpointy ears. Well..what was she then? He looked at her again, she as silvery blond hair, and bluest eyes he ever saw. Too perfect for human being. Maybe in Minith Tirith she will tell him more.
Helm's Deep~
It was gruesome fight, Legolas never thanked more of his elven abilities.Many have died but Aragorn was alive, so was Eomar and Gimli. Legolas looked out around him, it was very indeed gruesome if that could describe it properly.
He realised his wishes to see a pair of ceruelan blue eyes again, had kept him going through the battle without realising. They were out numbered, but they were scared of the Andruil, reforged sword of Narsil and indeed also afraid of Gandalf.
He wasn't scratched or drop dead tired, but for some reason something kept tugging at his heart about Lady Serenity. What could it be?
Minith Tirith~
"Lady Serenity, please come and meet my father" Faramir carefully told her of his father's wish to see her.
"Ah please sit down, Lady Serenity" An eldery men of maybe 60's was sitting down on plain but still elegantly carved wooden chair.
"I heard from Faramir that you are travelling to destory a great evil, please sit down and relax so we may know what's hapepning, for this city faces the entry into Mordor..and I wish to protect my people" eldery man gestured to a more cushioned seat not far from him.
Serenity smiled nervously and flicked out her power an so she looked composed and helped her to come down, whilst an illusion will give her time. She started with her finding her self at Rivendell.
Faramir quietly spoke up inthe end "So, my older brother have already met you..."
"Older brother?"
"Yes, Boromir, he was such a brave person, he was a great person as I always looked up to him"
"I tried to save him...but I guess I failed...like I failed to save Gandalf"
Serenity looked oddly at calm, with that announcement.
"Such is fate, I wonder if I can meet it? if I ever did, I wished that it could change the fate that I have come through..but then..was it destiny? I am not sure anymore...it's been distant memories...too many to think...do you agree not, that we all seem like chess pieces on a chess game between Destiny and Fate?"
Faramir agreed immediatly. His father nodded slowly, thinking deeply. "You indicate to us that you have lived a long time"
Serenity laughed, "Someone said something similar before, yes, why I am nearly 3000 years old"
Faramir's fine eyes smiled at his father's eyes nearly bulged.
" I thought you were.. of Men culture? are you of Numenorian line?"
"No...I am immortal...back home, those who were reborn forver are considered to be immortal...for they may die physically, but their spirits are immortal and never die"
A servent came into inform them it was dinner time, and Serenity was glad, because she was going to be very hungry soon.
Next day at Minith Tirith~
"Faramir! Faramir!" Frantic voice fo his father woke him from watching Lady Serenity from his room to the garden where she was walking.
"A carrier pigeon have arrived with some dreadful news...Rohan needs our help, they belive there is another messing of Mordor army even after massive first wave, and many have died, and can not withstand another attack successfully...I believe I want to consult you on this" Faramir nodded, when Serenity came in.
"Good morning Sir..." Serenity looked at both of their troubled face. "Is something wrong?"
"Rohan, an ally country is in trouble, For King Theoden of Rohan and his guest Lord Aragorn have asked for help to aid Rohan, for they expect a second wave of attack, for so may of their own died in their first victory."
"Aragorn??!?!?" Serenity yelled suprising her self and the other two.
"Ah...yes, they are currently at Helm's Deep. Preparing fast as possible for another onslaught. But I belive the enemy with try to clear the plain before the Helm's Deep first of their own dead. I am hoping it had give us enough time... " Faramir explained the situation and saw seren face of Lady Serenity wash over with regret or longing? Was she in love with Aragorn?
Later at the evening~
"You are going on your journey Lady Sernity tomorrow, I believe" Faramir came and sat down next to her in the garden as the night set in.
For sometime they didn't speak.
"I have noticed that you seemed to have some regret or longing? is there someone that you know at Helm's Deep, have regret over?" Faramir looked at her.
Serenity's eyes were beautiful, almost inhumanly beautiful in moonlight. "I do, but it is for middle earth's safety for I loved my homeland so dearly yet much as I protected it to my bes tof abilities, it was gone."Serenity paused briefly before continuing,"I don't know, it's just some regret I have, also to Aragorn, Gimli and other halflings...though I wish I could have saved Gandalf and Boromir...they died and I didn't try hard enough..." Serenity's eyes were blurred by tears.
Faramir did something unexpected, reminding her of Endymion. He kissed her forehead, "Please do not cry Lady Serenity, tears don't suit your beautiful face. There is nothing about our own destiny we can do about. I accepted that myself the hard way...do not let guilt over power you my lady for time for grieving can only be made when we if possibly trimph over evil, till then don't let those fears upset you" He took her hand and and looked at her.
Serenity was finally able to recover and gently take out her hand from his. "I think I better go in Lord Faramir...for I need rest before tomorrow's journey...but perhaps, fate will twist again and making of a new destiny is formed"
Faramir looked at her until she faded into the hallway with a slow sighing.
That night at Minith Tirith~
Serenity was asleep not totally, but at elast more peaceful then, when sleeping outdoors. Her dream were yet again something more to solve and yet added another piece of mystery to this mythical strange world.
[Dream Sequence]
Serenity was at peace in the dream, she wasn't afraid of anything, there was absolute tranquility within her. It was just great, free and wonderful all in one. She walked a strangely beautiful garden with bare feet, but it never got dirty or anything of like, instead the garden felt soft and smooth and clean.
Serenity raised her head when she heard of a murmur of noises. There was a beautiful women with golden hair and her brow decorated with jewels like stars and 4 other figures aorund her. She recognised Ithilril, Ithilelda and another lady who looked similar to Ithilelda but more golden in hair color and lastly of all, her mother!
Serenity wanted to run to her mother whom she haven't seen for a long time, but something seems to be holding her back. But she could hear their words clearly, as if they were in front of her.
"Lady Elbereth, The Hither land is trouble again, Should the Valar and Valier just watch again before it's too late?, just like before? with Melkor?" Her mother asked the Lady with golden hair and star jewels in her brow.
Lady Elbereth sighed neatly, "I do not know Ithilele, things are of Eru's creation, much as we still are masters of the planet over his children the First born and the Folloer, some are inevitable to happen. Soon if all goes well Eldar will return to the west, unless they choose otherwise" Elberth paused for a brief moment before continuing, "If all goes worst, some of Vanyan Elves, and some of the Lords of the West will go to war, for I do not wish for their total elimination"
The third lady with more of golden hair then Ithilelda spoke next, "But our line have come back, from so far a place, for we have protected the dear place for so long, beyond count...gift of Eru have aided us in the protecting of the world but surely it shall be more effective when it comes back to where it started? or is that not until Mordor returns to what it was before Ithilelda left to save the other world, that we can not have the peace of mind?" She paced aorund the seat she was sitting.
"Ithilnor, you should talk to other Valar, for you are the one who sat up the guardian system in the other world, I believe it will be much more easier to talk to other Valar about it then it is with me for the area is not my expertise" Ithilnor smiled and curtsied and started walking away.
Elbereth stood up from her seat on pedestal, then addressed all those who came before her, in her line.
"Today a Destiny is being made, a new Destiny. Ithilril, Ithielda, Ithilnor and Ithilele. You all know the Destiny that is being made, go, to the Hither land and help for Earendil's descendent is in trouble, the only thing Sauron fears now. Sauron shall not fell the Hopes of the Hither land" All remaining three bowed and from their hand a banner appeared, attached to a white wooden pole, It had a Crescent moon and a many pointed star sewn on it.
"For the glory of the Crystal Tower! it shall rise again and bring the peace long lost!" all three spoke loudly in unison. and all of them glowed, and with a brilliant flash of light they were dressed similar in pearl and silver armour, that seems to glow with magick or moonlight and a they floated gently with their white wings. Serenity was sure she saw several distant figures coming towards them too, but she was being pulled away, by invisible force.
The united voices of the three seems to echo around her, as if it was like a wind.
[End of Dream sequence]
Serenity woke with a start, it was just dawn. Serenity grumbled and wished that these dreams would end a little bit late, for she felt alittle sleepy still. A habbit she still hasn't got rid of completly.
Serenity sighed and got up instead and realised that her elven clothing has been cleaned and layed out and there was warm fire going. Her mouth twitched and saddened at hte same time relaising that she missed Rei-chan's ever warming and wise fire that burne dinthe palace magickally. It kept the poeple warm and also told them of any future, wisdom or anything athat may concern the kingdom.But all that was gone, due to her failure to protect her people. Serenity shook her head fiercly at her self and forced herself to concentrate on the task at hand, to save Middle Earth and making her own Destiny.
Srenity for once, changed her hair style and let it loose like Ithilril but sides been braided so it wouldn't get into her eyes. Serenity sighed and walked out the door to be nearly smacked into Faramir who was just about to knock her door.
"Lady Serenity! I am to accompany the 300 men which whom my father have dispatched to help Rohan in their cause. I was wondering if you have any message for me to carry onto Rohan and will I ever see you again Lady Serenity? your road is heavy and dark as the Ring bearer, I wish you well and Frodo too and Sam too. farewell my lady, and I hope we will see each other again" Faramir smiled to mask his sad feeling.
Serenity smiled in return, "May light protect you and your men, so much dangers out there, I pay for safety of you all" Serenity paused before speaking again "I wish you well, Lord Faramir, I am sure Boromir would be proud of you, and please send my luck to Aragorn and the rest, they will need it...and tell them keep themselves alive until I come" Serenity then shook his hand and slung her self onto her horse and so did the rest of her group.
Serenity waved until she could she them no more, then finally fell silent. Serenity sighed slightly as she hoped Frodo will not be pained as they neared the Mordor.
Helm's deep~
They kept an weary eye on all around the wall more carefully, they can't make the same mistake again.There only hope was that Gondor will send someof their men to help them win this battle.
Aragorn sighed quietly, Legolas was inspecting his bow and Gimli polishing his axe.It was typical ever since their first victory against the Sauron's dark army. Then someone came running in, "Lord Aragorn! please come and look! There are some people wanting to see you. if you please will follow me" the messenger gestured to the open court not far away.
"I will, tell them I will see them" Aragorn said quietly but in strained voice. Aragorn thought carefully as he saw the messenger disappear before himself started to walk in the direction, Legolas and Gimli and Merry followed him to the open court.
When Aragorn finally appeared in the open court, he saw what he didn't expected to see, a group of people clad for battle but their faces were elven. He saw the banner of the host and almost reeled back in suprise. It was white,one of the many white banners of the Lords of the west!. He have heard in legend from Lord Elrond about the Eldar days, when Earendil was still alive fighting Melkor...that Lords of the West's banner was all white, all of them.
"Ahh, Heir of Isildur, We have come in a bit of hurry, but it is pleasing to meet you" One of the elven male came forward putting out his hand in friendly gesture. "Yes...but how did you come through all those orcs? I could see no other way..." Aragorn trailed off when one of the elven ladies smiled at his question. "My name is Eresion, I believe your name is Aragorn?" The Elf who came forward spoke introducing himself, then he gestured to the female elf beside him. Aragorn thought something was familiar about her. "This is Ithilnor, third Child of light, and the one next to her is the first one, Ithilril, then the second Ithilelda and the next is the fourth Ithilele. Their magick brought us here, opened a gateway to Middle earth" He paused then went on to introducing 20 more male elves that came with him. "Finally he said, well it's been distant memory since Vanyan Elves has been in Middle earth" He casually commented about it.
Legolas looked at all of the Child of light and blinked "Ah..I am sorry to interrupt, but Child of Light! did I see the ladies before? chasing the orcs in plains of Rohan?" All four looked at each other and laughed "Sure you did, Elf Legolas, we were scouting the land at request of Ulmo, he felt a darkness rise and he felt it in his waters even. Now we have come to help. Mainly because Elbereth felt the darknening of the light here in the Middle earth"
Nobody said anything to that. "Well, I wanted to see Helm's deep defences and everything, would you mind Lord Theoden?if I insepected them?" Theoden was too shocked to say much, so Eomar immediatly agreed and took the one named Ithilnor and Ithilelda away to show what they left.
Legolas's eyes kept looking back at the one named Ithilele, she looked almost like Lady Serenity, except she had pale lavender sheen to her silver hair. Ithilele suddenly looked at him and smiled, and came up to him "Elf Legolas, is something that worries you?"
Legolas immediatly stopped thinking and replied "No, Lady Ithilele, I was just thinking of someone I knew", to his suprise, Lady Ithilele smiled mysteriously then nodded when one of the Vanyan elves called to her and went away.
Near Minith Mogul~
Serenity felt more and more of dark energy coming from the land of Mordor as they went a step nearer to e dark land. feared by many, only few chose to walk in it. Serenity had feeling of dread creep slowly into her heart, something was gong to happen and it was inevitable.
Helm's Deep~
(AN:Every member of the fellowship's thought collection here! and maybe few more)
Aragorn POV~
Things are turning out for better, for now, but noone can deny the tension that is present between us, for we wait for the men from Gondor to relieve us. How much more can we stand of this, we do not know but only hope these amazing Children of light will be our hope, shall help from Gondor fail to reach us in time.
They have demonstrated us of their power, just a bit to assure us and others. It seems, that to me their light, aura seems to radiate hope and light. I wished over and over again that only if Saruman didn't betray us, we could have already be closer to destroying the evil that threatens the Middle earth.I pray to Illuvatar that he wouldn't let his children be enslaved by darkness.I only hope...
Gimli's POV~
I sometimes wonder what goes on the heads of others, Aragorn the most. For it seems that it was already written in the book of destiny, that this was to be his. Ii only hope the evil will be over come soon.I sometimes think Elves aren't bad at all, just some past that some elves still alive to remember that war between elves and Dwarves, that resulted in thousands of years of tension between two races.I only hope this will change that.
Merry's POV~
I never knew this was what that, or what me and Pippin thought tobe a simple quest will become. I just hope, Frodo and Sam is okay and so is Lady Serenity and to think about it, anyone that is fighting the evil!
Pippin's POV~
I well, is lucky to be alive so far, I just hope everyone will be alive by the end of this, but even me know some of us will die in this war.
Gandalf's POV~
So much sadness, tension and fate yet twirls in a delicate dance with destiny. This war has reached even the ears of the Valar, it is foretelling of greater revelation and greater scale of this war will become. I sometimes wonder was this the destiny of Men?
Legolas's POV~
Everything is so tense, and Every turn we take there seems to be a suprise. I have now met and seen the wonderous race of Children of Light, first ever creation of Illuvatar apart from Ainur and Valar before us all. And Vanyan Elves! they had the most beautiful voice, and wonderous knowledge that has been long lost to most elves in Middle earth.I wait, and wonder the fate of the elves when this war is over, will be the darkness that triumphs, or will it be light? there is a tugging at my heart, as it has been recently, I wonder if something have happened to Frodo, Sam and Lady Serenity? I still, fear for them, even in battles, I pray for them dearly for their safety.
Star of Earendil! please shine down on us your light of hope to us, help us win over the darkness that now covers the Middle earth. I pray for us all, and for Lady Serenity.
Ithilele(aka Queen Serenity)~
I keep wanting to see of my daughter's safety, her heart must be troubled. I have seen the destruction of Crystal Tokyo, yet I couldn't help.Every Valar, Eru and even Celebril, whom see met after coming to Valinor stopped myself, an almost impulse decision to throw myself back into the troubled world of Earth trying to save it.
I wasn't happy but I was won over by Celebril's dedication and love. We were content but underneath he knew I was saddened by death of Earth. It continued untill I felt Ginzuishou's presence here in this earth that Eru have created. I knew something was about to happen.
I see Menel-Galad coming, the one who is hoping to win the heart of my dear Srenity.I pray for your safety Serenity.may the Ginzuishou save you and destroy the evil.
Menel Galad's POV~
I have seen Lady Ithilele's daughter, through Lady Ithilele's magic I was able to see a lady of grace and beauty that seems to surpasses all those who have come before her. I hope to see her soon, I hope for her safety and everyone's.For as Lady Elbereth said, Hopes of Middle earth shall not fall.
There was a most loudest silence in Helm's Deep as the battle drew closer and closer. But somehow in everyone's heart, they knew that this wasn't the final battle, a bigger battle and perhaps if fate faovured them, they will win that battle too.They all only hoped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wooh....:D. he he.. sorry I had to have that love triangle! a Vanyan elf against Sindarin(Teleri Elf!) XD.... If you have read Simarillion, you will note, that Noldor Elves were known for their craftmanship and knowledge(like languages and scholastic stuff) and Vanyans were noted briefly to have the most beautiful voices out of the elves and of course knowledge, and Teleri were generally known as 'Sea Elves' and they have split into so many different lines. Best example of Teleri would be Lord Cirdan the Shipwright. I think it was also noted that Vanyan elves had hairs of gold?(aka beautiful blond hair! ^_^)
Yes a little boring please be patient, next scene brings us to a nice action chapter with now all of Children of light fighting at Helm's deep! and peril of the trio of Ring Bearer continues and Serenity is making history as she goes!a change that will change the Middle earth forever! *grins like an idot*
okay please R+R some feedback would be nice so I can see if you want a change or not for the future chapters.
Dream wind.
