Starlight's Dance

Chapter 8

Apologies: I am truly deeply sorry for being this late and behind with Starlight's dance. My computer has been a bitch, and I just got it fixed. So, just for you guys, I'm having a typing-fest. When I go to bed tomorrow morning (hehehehe), I won't be able to move my fingers. That's my devotion to my fans! Anyway.

Thanks for being patient! BYE!!!

News:

I found a site that translates English to Quenya/Sindarin/Silmarillion/Teleri If you want the site, put it in your review, and I'll post it with my next chapters.

I am trying to learn Sindarin

All Elvish from here on out is the real stuff, Sindarin, to be exact

Story

Cammi and Legolas walked ahead of the Fellowship, scouting for a safe path through the deep snow. Being elves, they had it easy. They were light- footed enough that they could walk on the snow and not have to wade through it. But Cammi was getting cold. Very cold. Very quickly.

"Idril." ((sweetheart.)) she said.

"Hm?" asked Legolas, glancing at her.

"Teli nef." ((Come here))

"Why?"

"Because I'm cold."

"So put on another cloak. I'm sure you have one."

"But-but-but." big, fake tears welled up in Cammi's eyes and she pouted in the cutest way she could manage. Legolas fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

"Oh, Eelfea, don't cry." He said, making his way over to her, slipping his arm over her shoulder, in the same movement draping part of his cloak around her. ((Eelfea- Starspirit))

Cammi grinned happily. She knew his weakness. He couldn't stand to see her, or any female, for that matter, cry. (Her especially) She wrapped her arm around his waist, and they picked their way on, each with their own happy thoughts.

They stopped as they waited for the rest of the Fellowship to catch up. Around midday, they had set out again. Each of the Hobbits had a guard for this part of the pass. It was a thin, icy ledge, and highly dangerous. Merry clung to Cammi, as Pippin hung onto a corner of Ami's cloak. Sam climbed gamely on, firmly attached to Lita by a short, thin, but strong, cord. Frodo was with Aragorn, wrapped tightly in a corner of the ranger's cloak.

Legolas alone walked on the snow now, Cammi had given up her Elvish agility for the sake of Merry. Her wings were not helping any. The wind buffeted them about, pushing her along wildly. Legolas stayed close to the group, but still ahead. Climbing onto a rock, he listened intently as a storm began to brew high above them.

"There is a foul voice on the air," he said.

"It's Saruman!" yelled Gandalf over the thunder. A streak of lightning hit the snowy mountainside over head. As they watched, a huge pile of snow toppled from above them, and fell, covering them completely as they threw themselves against the side of the ledge.

Under the snow it was freezing and airless. Cammi fought with Merry to rise above the cold white world of snow. Her wings were nothing to her but a hindrance. Yet with them came a desperate chance. Gripping Merry tightly, she spread them and with a few strong strokes, it lifted the pair out of the deep snow and into the open where the others were brushing snow off themselves. Cammi took a quick head count. Good everyone was there. She looked at Gandalf as Aragorn shouted over the snow.

"He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf, we must turn back!

"No!" the wizard called back.

"Let us take the path to Rohan! Then we can take the west road to my city!" yelled Boromir.

"That will take us too close to Isengard!" argued Serena.

"If we cannot go over the mountain, let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of Moria," Gimli said, his beard caked in snow.

"Let the Ring-bearer decide," Gandalf said finally. They all looked at Frodo.

"We will go through the mines."

"So be it."
