Oh look another chapter! ::Monty python cheer:: elvish is in ''
Moonie swung her rapier out at Arwen with all her strength. The raven haired she-elf dodged the blow and followed up with a swing of her own sword. Moonie parried this attack and swung away from Arwen with a graceful twirl. Their small audience clapped pleasantly. Moonie smiled at her friend and bowed. Arwen returned the favor with vigor.
Moonie had now been in Rivendell for three weeks and was feeling as good as could be expected. Her Master had taught her so many things since her first lesson. Already she had mastered as spell that allowed her to make things out of nothing. Minor Creation was one of her favorites. It was useful and required almost no energy to perform.
Moonie smiled to herself as she sheathed her sword. She had become quite adept at swordplay. She ran her fingers gently over the sculpted hilt of the blade. The tiny aquamarine stones set into it glittered brilliantly [1].
Arwen looked up at her.
'Ready?' she asked.
Moonie nodded and allowed Arwen to lead her by the hand out on to the archery field.
The young girl had been trying to avoid the field ever since she had started her training. She had done this for one big reason.
Legolas.
He was there everyday and even though he wasn't her favorite, she still didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of him.
She and Arwen made their way down the hill and on to the field in silence. Moonie clutched at her ever faithful blade for support.
Sure enough, Legolas was standing there firing arrows steadily into the target. Moonie's eyes widened considerably when she noticed the small group of elves that were talking to him and joking around.
"Oh shit." She muttered.
Arwen looked at her.
Moonie blushed slightly.
Arwen laughed and put a hand on her shoulder.
'Don't worry.' She said 'I know exactly how you feel.'
Both girls laughed.
~*~
Moonie stood about twenty yards away from the target. She clutched her bow nervously. Legolas and his friends had stopped talking and turned to watch. His friends, most of them girls, were giggling to themselves and making bets on whether Moonie could do it or not.
Legolas, however, was watching her with eyes full of mild wonder. This was the first time he had seen her awake and well.
Moonie bit her lip and raised her bow. She focused on the arrow instead on the target.
"Guide me"
She let the arrow fly.
~*~
THWAK!
The whole of the archery field went silent.
Moonie opened her eyes slowly.
Everyone there, except Moonie, stared at the target in open mouthed shock.
The target now lay on the ground with an arrow embedded near dead center.
Moonie lowered the bow with a calm expression on her face.
The maidens had stopped giggling and were looking at the young mage in fear and shock. Moonie approached the target with a calm grace. She bent and pulled her arrow out of the rubble.
"Apparently I pulled back to far."
She burst into laughter. Arwen soon joined her.
"That's not right!" Moonie said between laughs.
"What are you talking about?" Arwen asked. "That was amazing!"
"You mean creepy?"
"That too."
With that they burst out laughing again.
A voice broke through their laughter.
"Impossible"
The stopped laughing and turned to see Legolas striding towards the fallen target.
"No child could have done this."
He bent and touched the target gingerly. He stood suddenly and grabbed Moonie's arm.
"Hey!"
He removed her bracer in silence. He rolled up one of her sleeves slightly and ran his fingers gently over her inner arm. He shook his head in mild disbelief.
"How could you do that. It's impossible for someone your age."
"To be honest, I don't know. I didn't use magic or anything."
Legolas nodded and walked off.
Moonie raised an eyebrow at his retreating back then shook her head.
~*~
Moonie flopped on her bed in exhaustion. She had just received a note from Elrond requesting her presence at the council tomorrow. After all tomorrow was October the 25th. At least in Middle -Earth it was.
She sighed and decided to skip dinner. She really didn't feel like seeing Mika right now anyway.
She quickly bathed herself then climbed into bed. Even though the moon wasn't even up yet, she fell asleep almost instantly.
~*~ That night a figure wearing a black cloak entered the room quietly. It approached the bed silently and knelt beside it. The figure reached out and ran it's fingers gently over Moonie's bare forearm. The girl moaned slightly and rolled on her side so that her back was to the person.
With that the figure left the room silently.
~*~
Moonie sat next to Frodo in silence.
The hobbit had come to wake her up that morning and practically begged her to sit with him and Mika at the council.
Moonie had agreed.
She looked down at the hobbit who had started shaking like a leaf when he had laid the ring out.
She held his hand gently.
Moonie focused on the ring intently. It seemed to be yelling something at her.
It screamed and hissed at her.
It was afraid of her.
If possible her skin got paler as it began to silently attack her mind.
Frodo gripped her hand tighter as her realized something was wrong.
She tried to block out the ring and listen as Boromir stood and began talking about how the ring was a gift.
She began to feel weak as Legolas fought for Aragorn's honor.
"Don't be blind." She said quietly.
The council's attention focused on her.
Mika stood up and looked at the council.
"The peoples of this world cannot put their faith in this demonic thing." The small hobbit girl said. "'tis a far more foolish thing to do than fight a meaningless war."
She sat back down in silence.
"Then there is only one thing we can do." Elrond stated. " The ring must be cast back into the fires of Mount Doom."
The council went silent.
"One does not just march into Mordor alone." Boromir said.
With that the man launched into his speech about what a horrible place Mordor was.
Legolas was on his feet in an instant.
"Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed!"
That was when the fight started.
Mika immediately tried to bring order back.
It was then that the ring launched a full scale attack on Moonie. It was trying to kill her by poisoning her mind and destroying her body from within. Moonie looked at Frodo with slightly pleading eyes.
"You must do this task my friend."
Frodo looked at her with terror in his eyes. That was when he noticed how sick she looked.
"Please Frodo." She whispered. " You're the only one who can."
Frodo's eyes suddenly filled with understanding. He nodded.
"I will join you on this quest." Moonie whispered gently.
Frodo stood and helped the severely weakened Moonie to her feet.
"I will take it!" He began yelling.
The council turned to see him supporting a very sick looking Moonie.
"I- We will take the ring to Mordor." He said "Though we do not know the way."
"You'll need me too Frodo!" Mika said. " I can help!"
Mika came to stand with Frodo.
One by one the fellowship came together. Elrond looked at the two girls with pride.
"Eleven companions." He said. "Very well then. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."
Moonie felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Gimli smiling at her. She smiled back weakly then began to fall to the ground. Luckily Legolas caught her before she hit the ground and lifted her into his arms. She looked at him with a weak smile on her face.
"Thank you my Guardian Angel" She whispered.
With that she fell asleep seeing the faint smile on the elf's face.
Oooo plot twist. Ok people this is not technically a Legolas romance. Please R&R!
