Thank you soooooo muck Kristal!

Also, I wanted to comment to any who are wondering, the term 'perfect little orcs' comes straight from the book. Another thing, some stuff I have said doesn't make too muck sense, but it will in the end. -FINNOV

Lament

Legolas stared gravely up at the stars. How cold are the stars that they no longer will send me light and warmth. Legolas sighed to himself and walked a bit further from the war company he was with.

Legolas slipped his arm around one of the few trees in the area, hugging it closer to him, and sadly let a few tears drip from his eyes. Lifting his face he quietly began to sing:

Ní n dî s Im fir

Ní n iell Im maeth i ú an.

Malt a celeb ava dar ní n mel

Im tol

Im fir

Im mel

Car mel nin.

"What do you think that means?" Gimli asked as Legolas began the slow song again.

"I know." Aragorn answered.

"Well?"

"My bride, I fade

My daughter, I fight the beast,

Gold and silver won't halt my love

I come,

I die

I love

Do love me."

"I don't understand what you mean by that." Gimli tried to grasp the concept of such a short, and considerably strange, lament.

"He is mourning, Gimli. He sings to his family tonight, the ones that he couldn't save. I think he's asking them to forgive him for not saving them." Aragorn looked at his friend again, who had now sunk to his knees singing to the heavens.

Gimli sighed and turned back to his work, but never stopped listening to the lament.

Alana pulled another thorn from the orc cloak and shook her head.

"We should," she complained to Sam. "have gotten chain mail, but somebody didn't think of it."

Sam smiled timidly up at the annoyed Elf and pulled another thorn from his own cloak.

"Well, now we're in Morgai." Frodo said to his companions, from over his shoulder.

"We're almost there!" Alana said happily, and briskly began walking in the direction of Mount Doom.

"Yep." Frodo muttered, feeling his attachment to the Ring grow.

"Soon, Mister Frodo, we'll be back in Hobbiton." Sam said, also fairly happy at the idea of getting home.

'Yes, Sam, we will."
