Chapter 20A - Closure? We Don't Need No Stinking Closure.
I'm not sure why I did it, but I did.
Perhaps it was because I allowed myself to not think clearly.
Maybe I just wanted to stop the pain.
When she screamed, I let instinct come over me and I wrenched the ring off her finger. She fainted from exhaustion shortly after.
"It is still filled with power, Legolas."
Gandalf handed the phoenix ring back to me. I nodded mutely as I slid it into a pocket. "I thought as much."
"It will remain dormant until she puts it back on." He said, "And she will have to."
"Do you know why she is here?" I asked him, changing the subject. He hadn't seen the fear on her face. I do not even think she realized how afraid she was.. Why would she be so afraid of returning home?
Gandalf nodded as we walked to join Aragorn and Gimli. "I do not know all, but I know enough. She was to foil Amalthea and Nerissa's plans." The white wizard shook his head. "Though even I do not know what those were entirely. You would have to speak to Lady Galadriel for more."
"Yes, she would know, wouldn't she."
"Indeed. Something else is at work along the shadows of Middle Earth, beyond that of Sauron. But it has been deemed that Galadriel will hold it's secret until the proper time." Gandalf paused. "But do not speak of it to the others. I know it will not play a part in our present path."
I nodded. "As you wish."
"How's the girl?" Gimli asked gruffly. He looked oddly comfortable sitting on a slain Uruk-Hai corpse.
"She will be fine soon enough." Gandalf said.
"No doubt she'll be demanding to ride to Isengard with us." Aragorn said with a shake of his head. "She makes many demands."
"Aye, but according to you, she makes a good argument." Gimli pointed out.
"She just argues." I muttered. I received amused stares at my remark.
---------
I wasn't really asleep. Okay, for the first half hour I was, but not now. I'm too antsy.
What the FUCK did he do that for?
If I were all perky fun happy, I'd think it was a sign of standard Suvianness. You know, where the Sue wins the guy over.
I knew better. I mean come on, this is my Suvian tale we're talking about, I seem to be lacking the real benefits here.
Of course my paranoia on the other hand was having a field day. He wants me dead. That's gotta be it. Seriously. We all know I'm doomed now. M knowledge was pretty much shot to hell. With the exception of the loops from before, this is movie canon.
We only got to The Two Towers back home.
Yeah, hi, I'm Lacey and I'm royally fucked. Can you spell fucked? I knew you could.
Unless this somehow goes into book canon, I had no clue what was going to happen.
Oh hell, let's face it, I didn't know anyway! I only sifted through Return of the King a couple of times, and I was mostly bitching about how I hated Eowyn while doing it.
I buried my face in my hands with a moan. "Oh just kill me now."
"I would, if it served some other purpose besides putting myself at ease."
I peeked out from between my fingers to see Eomer looming over me. "Feh. It's just you." I sat up and stretched. I realized there was no more pain in my shoulder. You think if I was really lucky, I'd have an adamantium skeleton too?
Tall, blond, and growly glared at me. "You are a nuisance, do you realize that?"
I yawned and let him glare at me before finally looking up at him. "Oh, I'm sorry, were you talking to me? I was thinking of more important things, like what that space between your ears is actually used for since you obviously lack a brain."
Once more, Eomer glowered at me before leaving me alone.
That was fun. He's so easy to goad, all that pent up aggression and anger from Saruman's puppet king with Theoden bit and all.
I sighed and found myself staring at Legolas, who was talking to Aragorn and the others. This time my stay here was all his fault. No way I was letting him forget it.
I had no idea what was really in store for me canon wise, but at least it'd be an odd ride. I'd get to be around my favorite elf a bit longer. Bonus!
Not exactly an ending I'd like, but then again, who really needs closure?
************
Authors Notes Again:
So what pray tell is this ending? No closure. No real Legolas/Lacey romance. Why? Because as much as I wanted to go that route with the ending, it was too.. Standard. Plus I think it'd seem a bit forced so soon. So instead, you get this. Lol. (Sorry Aims!! No boneing our favorite elfy! Here anyway.. Rofl)
Plus, it's just in case I decide to work with it again, or even, not. But this bit IS continued in CoaMS: Thornhold. (The LJ Robin) It takes place a year after Aragorn is King, so RoTK will likely be implied.. lol

It's all about how Sue's evil spirit surviving, taking the One Ring, offing Sauron with her even more supped up Suvian powers, and how the One Ring is connected to the Multiverse.
Basically, Lacey and her little band of heroes are out to stop Sue from collecting each fandom's "Key" and controlling the multiverse. She plans on reshaping it in her own image, meaning Perfect. (Ego ego ego)
It's a large based crossover, the only characters from CoaMS in it so far, are:
Lacey: http://www.livejournal.com/users/miss_lacey/
Legolas: http://www.livejournal.com/users/elf_prince/
Gimli: He's there, but not taken
Sue: http://www.livejournal.com/users/perfect_evil/
