Chapter 14
Meaningless Friendship
Rouge was the first to make contact with the creatures. She twirled her stick downards cutting the long skinny tenticle that was smothering Myian. She fell to the water, but was caught by another tenticle. Then without time for Rouge to give a decent defense stance, twenty more popped from the river.
She gave up on her spiked stick and began to shoot fire magic at it. Legolas walked as close as he could safely get to the edge of the river to search for the body. He saw a green blob and decided that it was what he was looking for. He was going to shoot it but realized he left his bow behind. He took his only chance by throwing the dagger, sharp end first at the blob. He made contact with the top and it screeched so loud that it could be heard through the water. It let Myian fall into the water unconscious, blue in the face.
The blob began to rise from the bottom of the river. Its tenticles drew the dagger from its body and thre back at Legolas. He stepped aside from its path and grabbed it, minorly cutting himself.
The blob rose from the water, and began to take a shape of a human. Rouge had jumped into then water to save Myian, and they both popped out dripping with water.
The human form pulled itself from the other side of the river with a bloody arm. It was a skin-changer. She looked at them with a pain and anger. Brown, wet hair covered most of her face, with an exception to her eyes.
"You haven't seen the last of me. This world 'will' come to and end!" She then chnaged into a bear and ran from their view.
"What 'was' that?!" Myian said, regaining her consciousness and getting a little more natural color on her strangled blue face. She looked worried because she had once again faced death.
"It was a skin-changer...," Rouge told her staring in the direction that it was running away in. She then turned and looked at Legolas.
"We have been followed. I have felt it, but it kept its distance, so I thought we had nothing to worry for. But I can only figure that she is working for the antagonist in this journey. But the onyl problem is that we have no idea who this 'antagonist' is...." She then got llos tin her thoughts, thinking of all of the possible people who could do this. Or to be less specific, what species could possibly do this.
Legolas was trying his best to keep Myian relaxed, she was losing her breath fast and he tried everything in his power. The grip that the skin-changer had on her had left a bloody rash around her neck. She started crying in pain. He then called to Rouge for help, since she seemed to know some about the art of helaing.
"Rouge!" He exclaimed. She snapped out of her pondering meditation and turned to him. She saw Myian and immediatly took action. He left his grip on Myian and dipped his cut hand into the river. It had already developed a brown scab that looked misplaced on his pale hand.
He turned to see Touge with her usual bowl putting a series of herbs in it and smashing it with a metal cylinder speaking words in the Dragon Spawn language. She then placed it on her rash, mixing it with Myian's red blood. Myian slowed her tears and moans of pain after a couple minutes of it on her neck. It slowly deminished her pain.
Legolas walked to the abandoned pouch he was lying on before the suprise attack from the skin-changer, and brought it to Myain, placing it under her head for comfort.
"Thank You... both of you," Myian said in a sleepy tone. "But I would feel a little safer further away form this awful river!" She said with a bit of humor in her voice. Legolas picked her up in his arms and placed her a few yards away from the river near a huge boulder.
They put the pouch under her head, and put Rouge's thick blanket around her. Legolas sawed off branches from an oak tree for a fire to keep Myian warm. He broke the branch the best he could and brought it to Rouge. She nodded in approval and she lit a fire.
When Rouge went to sleep, Myian called for Legolas. Wondering what she was still doing up, he walked over to her.
"I missed you...," she said looking into his hollow eyes. "I am glad you finaly remembered our friendship that took place many years ago." Legolas nodded, feeling nothing familiar about Myian. She closed her sleepy eyes and Legolas bent over and kissed her forehead, wishing her pleasen't dreams.
He wondered why he felt nothing from her prescence now that he knew who she was. She had become a whole different person. He didn't recognize her in any way, nor did he like the new her. He could pretend to be the frined she remembered until she was better, but only for that long.
He hoped that she would get better soon...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Im not very into fighting scenes, so I hope it is exceptional. Its just a average chapter showing suprinsingly how Legolas reacts when he finds a friend from his early years. It turns out he still isn't fond of her, so, she might or might not stay... *dum* *dum* *dum*! Keep up the reviews!
