Meleth Part 3

~The morning before their departure~

"Amrûn, promise me you'll be careful, and come back when you are no longer needed. Promise me?" Amrûn's best friend said. "I promise" Amrûn replied. Gilgalad hugged Amrûn and said "Good Luck out there, you can fight them, you're strong~" Gilgalad told her. Amrûn smiled "Thank you, and you, you be strong while I'm gone!" Amrûn climbed up onto her horse, Neffereta, a beautiful white horse with a black star on her forehead. "Goodbye" Gilgalad yelled. "Ready?" Legolas whispered to her. "As ready as I'll ever be" and they rode off.

~Rivendell~

"Look out in the distance, two people are approaching" Arwen said to Aragorn. "I can't see anything with all these orcs" he replied slashing another orc in the stomach. "Behind you!" Aragorn yelled. "Arwen took her sword and stabbed the orc behind her. "Thanks," she said smiling. After a bloody battle that lasted for 5 hours, all orcs had been destroyed with only a few deaths of the Elven. "Let us go back into the city walls, for more orcs will be coming soon," Aragorn stated and everyone followed him into the city.

"This is terrible" Amrûn said observing all the dead bodies that littered the floor. Then all of a sudden she jumped off her horse with tears in her eyes and ran over to a blonde elf with brown eyes, "Thôr!" she cried putting his head on her lap. Legolas ran over next to Amrûn and comforted her "it'll be okay, Amrûn"

"No it won't! He's dead! My only brother is dead!" "He died for his people, he was very brave."

Amrûn collapsed into his arms and cried. "I won't let that happen to you, I promise" Legolas told her. They sat there for about 15 minutes, until Legolas finally spoke "Come, we must go to the city before any more orcs arrive." Silently, Amrûn got up and climbed back onto her horse. She followed Legolas back into Rivendell. "Amrûn, I'm sorry," a voice said as they walked down the corridor. Amrûn turned around and saw Arwen. "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere to rest." Amrûn followed Arwen as Legolas went to find Elrond and Aragorn. "Here you go, get some sleep, you'll need the energy, here let me bring you tea" Arwen offered "No that's-that's okay, I just want to be alone" Amrûn applied and Arwen left.

~3 hours later~

"Amrûn?" Legolas asked, he saw her sitting on her bed, with tears streaming down her eyes. "Why?" she mumbled, "why did he have to die?" she asked louder. "Why?" she finally yelled. Legolas rushed over to her and hugged her saying, "It'll be okay everything will be okay"

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except, Gilgalad, Annûn, Amrûn, Thôr, Brannon, and Dae. J.R.R. Tolkien owns all the rest along with the places.

Summary: Amrûn is just a normal elf-maiden from Lothlorien, who has fallen for the elf Legolas. Until she goes to Rivendell, there she falls deeper in love, fights evil and is told her destiny. Rated PG-13.
