Chapter Two The Journey Continues.. after Boromir
"Not as long as we remain true to each other. We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind, we travel light. Let us hunt some orc. " Aragorn spoke with conviction looking at both Legolas and Gimli. He received nods of aggrement from both and they set out into the woods at an easy yet fast pace. No orcs were going to take anyone else from them.
Bodies, many of them some elven mostly Orc and than there was the horse in the middle of the fray. Legolas closed his eyes at the site, he had been ready to charge to where she had fallen but a hand had grabbed him and told him to stay back. And this hand still now gone, had a force over him. He was being watched.
" Lye ant-lye liante' nuqern' ilya n'alaquel Taren Legolas" one of the captains spoke to him. (We need to drive them all back Prince Legolas)
"Lye ant-lye a' miqal'ie sen ilya" came the harsh reply, cutting like a cold dagger. (We need to kill them all)
"Mani?" came the slightly baffled voice. (What?)
"Lye ant-lye far-a sen ndu ana miqal'ie sen. lembe-a numa' "(We need to hunt them down and kill them.. leave none)
"Nan' Taren tanyaie a nim' naraka meren'ner taie ta?" (But sir...t hats a bit... merciless isn't it?)
Legolas turned his eyes to look into the other mans as he shot two more arrows "Sen kai tule-uva n'alaquel, sen kai wa-uva n'uma meren'. Manka ta -e sen ya man'ek oht-ie, sen har'aw hua' 'i- atya'!" (They will come back, they will show us no mercy. If it was them who were winning, they would do the same)
"Nan' lye cua' il'-orqu" (But we are not Orc)
"N'uma, lye cua' faraie en' orqu"(No.. we are the hunters of Orc)
"Legolas?....Legolas? What do you see?"
The blonde elven shook his head some to rid his mind of the vivid memory as he turned his gaze to Aragorn who had spoken and asked him a question, yet he had not heard the exact words, "What?"
"What do you see ahead" Aragorn asked a bit confused that he had to ask once more, something was on his friends mine. Something that seemed to be eating him from the inside, yet he would not speak it. Why?
"They move quickly, but we have their trail still we should stay at the pace we are at... we will catch them" he hazarded a reply
"Very well my friend" there was a long pause. But it was one of those paused that told you something was coming next. Before Aragorn spoke up "What is on your mind?"
"Hmm?"
"Something is on your mind, your distracted you have been that is not like you Legolas"
"Amin dele ten' sen" he replied easily (I am worried about them)
"Amin vithel, nan' n'at natie' rashwe lle" Aragorn stated concerned for Legolas. It was not like him to be so, focused yet not truly.(I also, but other things trouble you)
Legolas sighed they were both still well ahead of Gimli who behind them trucked along, annoyed that he was behind but at least they would not have to listen to his ranting about speaking in common tongue so everyone knew what was being said. He often wished there was a way to gag that dwarf to shush him. " Ta il- tanya Amin avari a' h'all lle Aragorn, nan' har'enpinie chor'tine va hyarya avlam' ie' lummie' " (It's not that I am unwilling to tell you Aragorn, but there are some things that should be left un-said at times)
Aragorn stopped the sprint he and Legolas had been moving at and looked at him "Lle lli' h'all amin Legolas" (You can tell me Legolas)
Legolas sighed and looked at Aragorn he was being persistent in finding out what it was, which meant he had been to open in his distraction. He would have to do better at not being like that for the rest of the trip, " Ta har'enpin tanya i'na 'e 'i- wanwie ta' sar'n ra uu-nadu' ikotane ta' n'uma til e'quene' en' 'e ai'ner" (It's something that happened in the past, it cant be undone so there is no point in speaking of it anymore)
"Eller ta' ilyamenie a' til e' quenie en' tel' wanwie' Legolas, manka ta wanwie' naikela quenie en' ta' tel men a' caelie" Aragorn spoke with conviction as Gimli finally caught up to them huffing and puffing. (There is always a point in speaking of the past Legolas, if it is past pain, speaking of it is the only way to help heal it )
"Manoki cua lle ikotane pen'da no' sintaie' " Legolas turned a look to Gimli and looked back to Aragorn (Why are you so intent on knowing)
"Ten' lle cua' ami'n mellon ar' ta naikela lle"(Because your my friend and it pains you)
"Nan' sii' i' il i'-luume'"(But now is not the time)
"Lye liik qunea' ana kert' Legolas, eller ta' n'uma 'im lumme"(We can talk and run Legolas there is no better time)
Gimli finally caught his breath and looked up at the pair with a grunt "Could you speak in the common tongue for the rest of us to understand!"
Legolas sighed looking at Aragorn and than gimli before moving ahead in a sprint up to some rocks and looking out into the horizon.
"Well done Gimli" Aragorn stated somewhat irate, but not truly Gimli hadn't known what they were talking about.
"What, what did I do?"
"Nothing, I am sorry. something is bugging him though"
"He's an elf something always bugging elfs. Maybe its the braid to tight or something" Gimli said with a chuckle.
Aragorn shook his head but smiled "Perhaps Gimli, Perhaps"
It was then that Legolas began to move again following where his eyes had seen the orc, and so Aragorn and Gimli followed. Their pace was fast and several times Gimli would take the time to complain much to the amusement of Aragorn and Legolas both. Yet still Legolas found his mind wandering from the path ahead, yet he tried to keep it more hidden this time. As to avoid the questions of his friend once again. When finally after hours, or perhaps it had been a day they slowed their sprint, and Aragorn crouched on the ground as he was listening to something.
Legolas took this break to move to some rocks looking out on the path they had come from to the horizon. Below him Gimli sat and caught his breath, silent for once that indeed was a shock. Again his crystline blue eyes turned to the horizon, but this time he blinked. He thought he saw a fiqure on horse back, but he had to be mistaken. for the fiqure was elven a woman..the horse...a shimmery bronze. He shook his head some turned away, and looked back there it was still there, but than Aragorns voice broke through his thoughts.
"Their pace had quikened they have caught our scent, come lets go"
"Not as long as we remain true to each other. We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind, we travel light.
