Chapter Fifteen - The Battle Continues
Melriadora was getting tired. Her ears were ringing from listening to the sounds of battle for so long and her timing was beginning to fall behind. Suddenly, Reymara came down hard, knocking her sword out of her hands. Melriadora heard it fall but knew it would take far too long to find it.
Reymara laughed coldly, "I knew there was a reason that I took your eyes. And the Lady Lyssa said I was not blessed with the Sight." She struck Melriadora in the back of the head, knocking her too the ground, causing her to cough up blood as she tried to get up.
But she could not. Her strength had given out and she could do nothing.
Reymara stepped forward and kicked Melriadora hard in the ribs. "Is that all you have?" She sneered as Melriadora struggled to breeth. She leaned over the fallen Priestess with a superior smirk. "I just have one question my dear child, is your Prince a good lover? For after all this is over, I plan on claiming him as my own."
Melriadora felt the anger rise in her and spun to make a final strike but was cut short by a swift sword stroke down her back. Melriadora moaned in pain and fell back to the ground. Reymara stood poised over her finished body to make the final blow.
Legolas was watching the battle above him as he fought his way to the cliffs. He froze when he saw Melriadora fall, his breath left him when Reymara kicked her and anger towards the evil woman filled him to the core. He rushed forward with a new fury, striking down more Polrai then he could count.
He heard Melriadora groan in pain and looked up, Reymara was ready to strike a killing blow and his was nowhere near her. His heart skipped a beat, and he was filled with panic.
He quickly grabbed his bow, he knew the shot was impossible but he had to try. If he missed this shot the price was more then he could bear. He aimed carefully, and just as Reymara was bringing down her sword he released his arrow.
Reymara stumbled back in shock. She was just ready to finish Melriadora when something stopped her. She looked down to see an arrow in her chest, she stepped back surprised and looked out over the battle. There was Prince Legolas, bow in hand, running toward the cliff, fighting off Polrai all the while.
She chuckled to herself and called out to the Prince. "Nice shot my dear Legolas, but it will not stop me!" With that she ripped the arrow out of her chest and turned to finish Melriadora.
Melriadora's heart leaped when she heard Reymara calling to Legolas. He was here! Something in her exploded and she was filled with new strength. She felt the stone in her hand growing hot when it mixed with her blood. Her head cleared and she could hear every sound on the field below and every move Reymara was making. She grasp the stone in her hand, waiting.
She heard Reymara standing over her and knew that she was completely confident she had won. She heard the air whisper as she raised her sword to strike.
"MELRI!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOVE!!!!!" He heard Legolas cry out in terror, giving her strength.
And move Melri did. She spun around holding up the smooth, blood soaked stone before her. Reymara was thrown backwards and fell with the force of it. Melriadora stood, walking toward the evil woman, her steps confident and certain.
"Do you know what this is, Reymara?" She asked, her tone dark and threatening. "It is the Judgment Stone." Melriadora took a breath, her strength flowing to her. "It is covered in the blood of your Sister of the Order, in my own blood, shed by you. It is not my place, or Lyssa's place to judge you, but the Stone's." Melriadora had never felt taller then she did at this moment, the power of the Isle pulsed around her. "Now be judged!" She tossed the stone into the air and felt the warmth as it engulfed the entire area in a deep red light. Reymara gave a scream of terror and with an explosion, was gone.
The explosion rocked the cliffs and Melriadora was thrown backwards. She covered her head, blocking it from the heat a powerful wind rocked through the land, and the Polrai disappeared. Those who Reymara had controlled with her evil magic blinked and cried out in confusion.
The battle was over. Good had triumphed. The Priestesses of the Isle let out a cry of victory and cheered praises for Melriadora. Legolas did not notice any of this. He climbed the cliff as if it was nothing. After all the obstacles between him and Melriadora, the cliff seemed to be hardly anything at all.
"Melri!" He cried as he rushed to her side.
She stood up, turning to him. "Legolas!" She cried out and fell into his arms.
He kissed her passionately, fighting the tears of joy that were in his eyes. "I thought I would never see you again Melri." He said through his kisses.
Melriadora buried her face in his chest, "I was so afraid Legolas. I thought I would die without saying goodbye to you!"
He held her tightly, not wanting to let go. "I feared I would lose you, and the thought of it terrified me more then anything else in the world."
Melriadora kissed him, "It's over now, Legolas. The Isle has won." She smiled, a truly joyous smile, and laughed, "It is finally over Legolas!"
His heart filled with joy at seeing her so happy and he kissed her again, laughing. "Come, your people are celebrating! You should be a part of it!" He told her, with that they climbed back down to join the other Priestesses in their celebration.

A/N- Yeah, I know, cheesy as all! But what can I say? This is NOT a masterpiece and is just for fun (because let's face it, Legolas is rather fun to write about)! Sigh. These chapters are so short! I should have combined the last two! I hope all that jumping from one point of view to another didn't confuse anyone! It sure confused me and I wrote it! I also hope the whole magic thing isn't too weird.... Hehe!
It's not over yet for our two lovebirds! Hm.... I may post another chapter now! I'm on a roll!
Review please! Don't make me come in there!
