Chapter five

The sun was just rising over the hills as Legolas, Aragorn, Haldir and his men stood. Waiting for Énya

"Are you sure a women should accompany us to Dunlorien, Sir?" a soldier asked, turning to face Haldir. He nodded "Yes, I'm sure; she knows what she's doing Amendé"

Amendé nodded "Yes sir"

Énya walked through the trees; she was wearing what she was wearing the say before. Her eyes looked cloudy, unsure, like she was up all night thinking, or just couldn't sleep.

She brought a brown horse behind her, Legolas mounted, followed by Aragorn and Haldir, His men were already mounted.

Énya mounted her horse with ease, she took a deep breath. Haldir looked to the woods ahead. He was about to commence when he heard

"Hya!" she cried, as her horse sped forward, and into the trees, Haldir motioned for his men to follow, "We'll keep up the rear!" Aragorn yelled as Haldir rode into the woods

"Mind if I take along for the ride?" a deep voice behind Legolas asked

"Gimli!" Legolas looked down at the flushing dwarf

"I was beginning to think you really weren't coming along" Aragorn said with a small smile

With Legolas' help, Gimli mounted the horse behind him. Aragorn pointed forward "To Dunlorien!" He cried and the two horses sped off into the trees.

2 Days, 2 days to Dunland forest Haldir thought sadly, he feared that it was too late.

They road through the large deserted land that separated Dunlorien and Lothlorien, and into the woods of Folklin (this IS fan FICTION() the cursed wood. But with the speed of their horses it was only a day and a half jorney

They had just entered the Woods of Dunland on the morning of the second day. To Énya's surprise they're no screaming, fighting, the woods were in perfect shape, but bellows of dark smoke came out of the city

The stopped about a mile from the gates of Dunlorien and dismounted. Haldir turned to his men.

"I think the battles over" one man said softly

"Were too late" said another

Haldir turned to Énya who was gazing up at the Castle of Dunrundé, only the peak of the tallest tower was visible, her sorrowful eyes blinked and looked towards Haldir "Check for survivors." she said softly

Haldir called to his men "Legolas" he stopped "Gimli?" he said with surprise as he looked at the stout dwarf dismounting Legolas' horse

He nodded, but didn't speak

"Okay, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, Énya and myself are going inside the city, Men" he turned to a huddle of his men, men that trusted him "I want you to create a perimeter, check to see if they are any Uruk-Hai in these woods, protect Dunlorien, I will call you with the horn of Lorien if your aid is needed" The elven men grunted in approval and ran off towards the city, "Except you Amendé, stay here"

He nodded and stood next to Aragorn

Énya spoke "I know my way around these woods" she said softly "Follow me"

They followed Énya into the city

"Gimli, Legolas and Amendé, look over in the northern side of town" Haldir pointed "Meet us at the Castle doors" they nodded and ran off

Énya brought out her bow, she looked down the street. "Nothing, no Uruk- hai" she said

Aragorn nodded and ran across the street, sword out. Haldir held his sword in his hands, standing behind Énya, "Nothing" she said quietly. Haldir motioned for Aragorn to move. He nodded and ran to a small house, kicking open the door, he stepped in

Énya walked to one house, Haldir another. A minute later they all walked out to the street "All dead" Aragorn said softly. Haldir nodded, Énya as well

Both parties patrolled the small city. There were only Uruk-Hai and human bodies, all death, scattered mercilessly everywhere, burned, stabbed, decapitated, you name it.

Haldir turned to Énya, her expression looked sad and distant, but her eyes..Looked blank, her eyes didn't give away any expression.

Both parties met at the castle doors, shaking their head and looking very sad, almost ready to vomit.

The party that was now one again walked inside. It was silent, two dead bodies, which looked somewhat like guards lay on the floor with hack marks and arrows.

The smell of decay and rotten flesh filled the noses of the party. More bodies of Elven maids, Uruk-Hai and elven soldiers were found as they escalated to the top of the castle, the Room of Casaubon, where all important meetings took place, that's were Énya said he would most likely be, Énya looked away from the bodies that were laying charred and hacked at along the staircase.

Gimli looked down "Moria." he said softly, Aragorn and Legolas knew he was referring to the massacre that was held there, he was right though, Gimli was. The scattered bodies looked much like the Mines of Moria after the Goblins and Orcs had attacked

The party stopped at two large double doors, with golden trim, that had blood smeared on it. Énya took a deep breath and with some help from Haldir, they began to push open the doors

"Back!" a vice shouted

And arrow squared the door, just next to Haldir's head, his eyes widened, than fell. He let out a heavy sigh

"Lady Énya!" the man cried and ran over to her.

Énya smiled weekly "Dermis" she smiled as they elven soldier bowed

"We thought the Uruk-Hai had killed you too"

He looked at the party "What is this? A man and a dwarf!" he gasped

"They have come to aid Dunlorien"

Dermis thought, than nodded "I fear it is to late My Lady, the Uruk-Hai have come.and gone, only myself, two other soldiers and King Isilmer survived.no civilians" he looked down sadly

Dermis lead Énya and party over to where the King and two other soldiers sat. One soldier held a rag to his eye, it was covered in blood, the other soldier held his arm, and Dermis, he had cuts and bruised. But the King, King Isilmer, had barely a scratch

"Énya!" the king rejoiced. Smiled and drawing her into a hug "You're alive!"

"Come Énya and friends, sit, sit" he said with a smile, and they did

"What happened?" Aragorn asked with a frown

"The Uruk-Hai attacked.I do not understand why.we were so peaceful"

Énya looked enraged "This wouldn't have happened." she said softly

"There was no stopping them!" Dermis argued "Lord Sarumon is bent on taking over Middle Earth.he started with us.a small city in the middle of a vast woods.his will will only grow stronger and he will attack larger cities." Dermis looked off. His dark face as filled with sadness.

"Isilmer.you could have stopped this.if you had just agreed to join the alignment.Lothlorien would have come to your aid"

King Isilmer's eyes widened and filled with rage, he snarled "Énya that was long ago"

"You kept this city so isolated after my father died, no on entered or left the woods of Dunland! And looked where it has gotten you! You're people are dead, so few remain of what was once a great city"

King Isilmer stood up "again Énya, I say that was long ago, Lothlorien will not help us now!"

Énya breathed "What will you do now that your people have perished? Where will you look? Who will you turn to? Dunlorien has aligned themselves with no one; you are alone Lord Isilmer, alone and with no one to turn to. I hope the guilt consumes Lord Isilmer" her eyes grew darker

"Énya!" he roared, but he had nothing to say, no argument, Énya had won

"Come, take what his left of your Kingdom, and come to Lothlorien, there is nothing left for you're here" Haldir bowed his head slightly and smiled with reassurance

"No, I will take my people to the Grey Havens, we will find salvage and rest there" He nodded sat back down

"There is nothing left for YOU here Énya Darkwood" he said quietly "take your dwarf and human and return to Lothlorien" he waved them away with his left hand

Énya looked down her eyes grey dark, almost black, her eyes changed with her emotions, a trait that only the elves of Dunlorien had, thought only herself, King Isilmer, Dermis and two soldiers remained of what was once the Elves of Dunlorien

Énya nodded "May you find rest in the Grey Havens" she said solemnly with a hint of anger and sarcasm and turned to walk out

Haldir called to his men. They had reported that they had not seen and Uruk- Hair.

No discussion was started when they all mounted their horses. Énya's expressions hadn't changed; her eyes remained a pale green, filled with sadness and emptiness. Haldir looked over with concern. He shook it off and continued to ride towards Lorien
