Chapter 36
Myian's Purpose


Myian was smiling with tears in her eyes. She was wearing the gown she had on during her funeral in Alexandria. She had the lacey white dress and the golden tiara combed into her hair. Her green eyes were emeralds shining with fresh tears. She began to walk, but stumbled a little. She also had on the glass slippers she was 'sent' in, and she had never had experience with them.

She slipped them off and took them in her hand. She then ran towards Legolas and practicly lunged at him. She embraced him so hard he could barely breath. He was still in awe from seeing her, all he could do was return the favor. He could feel her cold tears trickle down his neck and onto the cloak he was wearing. She then pulled away and stared into his eyes.

"Still empty as ever," she said. "I wouldn't have them any other way," she added, letting tears flow from her eyes thicker than before.

Legolas finally found the nerve to speak. "Why?... How?"

"I... am... your ring, Leoglas," she said, choking on her tears. "I must join you on your trials, I must be the one placed upon the pillar."

"I don't understand," Rouge said, giving her green eyes a confused look.

"This is not the first time this has been done. Many other have done this and succeded. We must do no less. I must lead the three rings into the power source of Middle Earth and restore their power. But you all must go through the trials."

"This was one of our Legends in Alexandria!" Amwy exclaimed. She then receited a poem:

Three Rings; Power Lost,
One Friend is the Cost,
Guide them through the trials of Fate,
The Earth's Ring Opens Destiny's Gate,
Restoring their Power is the Chore,
So Middle Earth can live Once More.

"I kept on remembering it when Gandalf was explaining what we must do! It all pulls together!" She smiled, finally solving the riddle that was haunting her head for the last few minutes."

"We must hurry! Middle Earth hasn't much time left! We must save her!" Myian said dragging Legolas a passageway covered in vines, barefooted.

"Wait!" Amwy called to Myian. She dropped the bag she had brought along with all her traveling items, and began to dig through the items that were held within. She found what she was looking for. She pulled out a pair of traveling shoes and a dagger. She placed the dagger in one of the shoes and tossed them towards Myian.

After many years of practice, Myian was able to catch them with agile reflexes. She placed the glass slippers on the ground and hurrily put her new shoes on and held the dagger tight in her hand. She was about to drag Legolas along, but he stopped and grabbed the glass slippers. He placed them in his food pouch and continued along with Myian. He feared he would never see Myian again, so he wanted something to remember her by.

The other three that remained in the main room, looked at each other and nodded. They watched Leoglas and Myian walk to the end of the vine filled passageway. They reached the door and Myian swung it open and pulled them into a shady room. The remaining watched the door close on its own and diappeared.

Rouge looked at the others and spoke, "There is no turning back now, are you both ready?" The other two nodded. Rouge then couldn't hold back and gave them both strong hugs and turned to look into the other three passageways. She saw one that had walls of fire and knew that is where she needed to go. She then quickly walked down into the passage and reached the door. She hesitated, but then swung it open and entered. It then closed by itself and disappeared.

Ryken looked at Amwy and she winked at him and smiled. She dug into her tunic pocket and found a black ribbon and a golden clasp. She used the claps to hold her hair into a bun and covered it up with ribbon. "Don't want to look bad for what I am about to face, do I?" She said with a giggle. She then turned to the passageways and found a misty one. She walked into it, and the further she got, the thicker it was.

Ryken couldn't see through the mist, so he listened for the door to open and close. When he heard this he turned to the passageway with the only door left. It was a bridge like structure that hovered over clear water. It had water fountains attacthed ot the wall that sprayed their water into the larger body. He walked through the passageway and reached his door. Ge swung it open ot reveal a darkness. He walked in like all the others did and turned around to see the door shut and dissappear.

The area around him the lit up and he gasped at what he saw....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know this one is short, but I want to give each character their own chapter. Obviously Ryken will be the first that I explain. I hope to end this story either tonight or tomarrow, I can't wait to start on the sequal. I'll try and make it something everybody will like =o). For the next one I think I will open a small shrine for Leoglas with a mailing list, so I will e-mail you when I have chapter updates. Someone e-mailed me with the idea. I just need a good Legolas pic that I can easily edit. Anways, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!! ^_~
