"Moria"
Darkness closes in around him, suffocating, and Legolas shivers, staying close to Mithrandir, and the light. A nightmare: trapped underground with only the bones of dead dwarves and the constant threat of Orcs.
All to destroy a bit of metal bound with the power to enslave all of Middle Earth. A trinket with a voice that whispers to him if he strays too near Frodo, that haunts him in the dark, makes promises to tempt his resolve.
What harm could there be in an Elf holding the Ring?
Gold glints in the corner of his vision, and Legolas turns away.
