Song For None
~
Ok, quick notes! I know its 'elves' not 'elfes' but I like 'elfes' better and it's my story so that's the way it's staying! Not to be rude or anything but I've had numerous reviews about that and it hasn't changed my mind before and it won't change it now!
Another thing the elfes ran away from battle with the humans because 1. There are only five elfes, 2. They weren't exactly prepared for battle, 3. They didn't know how many men they would be fighting, and 4. The men are extremely well versed in fighting and they are very strong and hard to bring down.

Elladan stopped for a moment and looked at his surroundings. "Why do I feel like I'm lost! I hate that feeling!" Elladan was beginning to get very agitated.
"Take a deep breath Elladan, we need to stay calm and focused." Maik said calmly to Elladan.
"You're right, I know." Elladan took a deep breath and then looked up, "Ok, let's move on."
Elrohir and Maik smiled and the three continued onward.
~
Legolas had run through every horrid thing he could think of these awful men doing to Nuquer and Ven when finally a noise down the hall made him snap out of his paranoia.
Legolas sat up and listened intently on the noise. Someone was shouting a little ways down the hall. It sounded feminine to Legolas, or maybe that was just because he needed some reassurance that Nuquer was still alive.
~
Ven and Maik had fallen asleep holding onto each other for protection and warmth. They had awoken to their prison door opening and three large men stepping in.
"Hello, ladies." One of the large men stepped forward carrying chains.
"What do you want?" Nuquer narrowed her eyes at the men.
"Take just the dark one." The man commanded to the two men behind him.
The two men stepped toward Nuquer who had no place to back up.
One of the men grabbed her arm and Nuquer instinctively pulled away.
"Get off!!" Nuquer screamed at the man. The second one was now tying her ankles together with a thick chain, made for restraining elfes.
"Let her go!" Ven moved to try and fight against the men from taking Nuquer but the first man grabbed Ven from behind and threw her against the wall knocking the wind out of her.
"Ven!" Nuquer yelled to her friend just as the two men grabbed her hands and yanked them behind her back securing it tightly with the chains.
"Shut your mouth!" One of the men growled at Nuquer just before she let out a gut wrenching scream that reverberated through the halls and into Legolas's prison.
~
Legolas stood up at the sound of the scream and ran to the door. He tried vainly to push the door open or break it down but it was of no us. He kicked at the door and pounded it with his fist in desperate rage.
~
One man carried Nuquer off down the hall and the other two walked down the hallway towards Legolas.
~
The first man wrenched open Legolas's door and grabbed the surprised elf into his iron grip. The second man wound the same chains around Legolas's ankles and wrist as the ones that were now constricting Nuquer.
The men then dragged Legolas down the direction the other man had carried Nuquer.
Ven was left in her prison alone and frightened for her friend after she regained her breath.
~
The Captain of the men in this forlorn and malignant castle was waiting in his usual perch for his prisoners to be brought before him.
"Here they are captain, the prince, and one of the she-elfes, we took the prettier one for you." The first man threw Legolas onto the floor in front of his Captain and held the struggling Nuquer next to him.
"Very well done, close the door behind you." The Captain waited until the man had dropped Nuquer into a sitting position onto the floor and left before speaking again.
"Prince whoever, I'm and Brea, Captain of these men and Lord over these regions were you are now forced to reside." Brea began, "Tell me, where are you from and if you even are a prince."
Legolas thought for a moment about telling him his true identity and decided against it.
"I am not a prince." That was all that Legolas dared to say.
"Well then, can I at least have the courtesy of your name?" Brea stood from his resting place.
"Dimlond." Legolas thought of the first name that came to his mind. He knew a Dimlond back in Rivendell but hoped that wouldn't give anything away.
"See, that wasn't so hard, was is Dimlond." Brea slowly descended down the stairs and towards Nuquer who was watching the two.
"And you, fair maiden, what is your name?" Brea advanced towards Nuquer.
"Why should I tell you?" Nuquer gave Brea a menacing look.
"Because I've been so kind to give you food and shelter," Brea looked into Nuquer's dark eyes, "also because I have restrained my men from doing things to you that would make your heart stop." Brea smiled and looked towards Legolas who had a look of pure hatred on his face.
"Have I offended you Dimlond?" Brea had hoped for some kind of reaction from Legolas like this.
Legolas said not a word but stared back into Brea's cold dark and uncaring eyes.
"You, Dimlond, will be taken back to your humble abode in the prisons, but you fair lady, are coming with me." Brea clapped his hands and three men came rushing in. "Take the boy back down to his cell and tie him up. Leave the girl to me."
The men dragged Legolas out with them and shut the door. Nuquer tried not to show her fear but it was getting harder by the moment.
~
Legolas tried to break lose all the way back down to his cell causing the men to give up on dragging him and in an effort to make things easier on themselves carried him.
