Chapter 22
Spyings and Capturings
Legolas had befriended the children of Elrond and didn't quite know what to do next. He knew they were friends by the conversation they had the previous day and how they made him feel like he wasn't alone anymore. They called him beautiful... no matter what others say, no matter how he looked or what he was… he was unique.
He needed help on the next step of their friendship, but knew he head to figure it out himself. This sort of thing wasn't something someone could give you directions to, it was more of a personal experience. He had to find a way to be open with them because he knew that they would understand everything.
Legolas decided to take another walk through town and look through the Market Street. Rivendell had unique figure and sculptures made from rocks from the river. Since Mirkwood's main raw material was wood, these things fascinated Legolas. It was almost dark in Rivendell, but he still wanted to take the trip. He made his way to a small store on a corner and walked through the wooden door.
Inside was many rocks made into different kinds of jewelry. A short brown haired elf walked up to him and offered him her assistance.
"Can I help you, master elf," she asked.
"I am just looking, thank you," Legolas replied, giving her a smile.
"Well...," she started. "If there's anything you need, master elf, just gave me a call."
She then scurried off to the counter and started digging around. Legolas returned his attention to a ivory colored rock tied to a thin silver chained necklace. Legolas picked it up and examined the design. It was a circle with a unfamiliar symbol in the center. It looked like a word in some language that Legolas did not know.
"It is a symbol for protection," said a voice behind him.
Legolas turned to see one of the twins.
"It is Elrohir," Elrohir said with a smile, understanding that Legolas was not able to tell them apart yet. "Do you like it?"
"Yes," Legolas replied, turning back to the necklace. "It seems to draw me in."
"Well," Elrohir replied. "Rumor has it that the owner buys them from a sorceress in Emyn Uial."
"Were you here to find me, or to were you here to buy?" Legolas asked Elrohir.
"I was here to retrieve you," Elrohir replied. "My father wishes to speak with you."
"Take me to him," Legolas told him, setting down the necklace.
Elrohir decided to show Legolas a token of friendship, while looking at the necklace.
"Excuse me, milady," He called out loud, grabbing the necklace in taking it to the counter.
The short woman popped up and smiled, "Are you wishing to by this?"
Elrohir nodded and she named her price. Elrohir then walked to Legolas and handed him the necklace.
"Why are you giving me this?" Legolas asked.
"Call it a token of our friendship, Legolas," he said smiling, and then leading the way to his father.
Legolas quickly followed Elrohir through the star lit sky to the palace where his father waited. When they reached the throne room, Elrond stood from his seat and walked to them.
"Thank you for retrieving Legolas, Elrohir," he said. "But now I need to speak with Legolas in private."
Elrohir nodded and left them alone. Elrond had a sour look on his face, like he was about to tell Legolas something he really didn't want to, and Legolas was right.
"Your father has asked for you to come home," Elrond told Legolas.
Legolas was about to tell him that Thranduil was no longer his father, but he felt he needed to show him more respect then he had shown everybody else who had called Thranduil his father.
"I will not," Legolas told him. "I belong there no longer."
"But this is your chance to make amends with your father, Legolas," Elrond told him. "This is your chance to become part of his life."
Before Legolas could say anything, a soldier ran into the room and made an announcement. "We have spotted enemy soldiers near the city, milord," he yelled. "No more then 15, milord."
"Send men out immediately to capture them," Elrond told him.
"Yes, milord," he told Elrond and ran out of the throne room.
"We shall continue this conversation later, Legolas," he said and left the room.
Elrohir then appeared into the throne room, followed by Elladan, and they walked to Legolas.
"We are going to help capture the spies," Elladan said, unsheathing his sword. "You are welcome to join us."
Legolas held his hands out, showing that he had no weapon. Elrohir then pulled out his own sword and motioned for Legolas to follow him.
They walked quickly to a door down a dark hall, and Elrohir led him inside. Inside was a small armory, with swords, bows, and quivers piled neatly on shelves. Elrohir picked up a bow and quiver and walked over to a barrel where he filled it with arrows.
"Thank you," Legolas said when Elrohir handed it to him.
"Let us go capture then enemy!" Elladan announced, anxious.
They left the armory and then left the palace. They stopped and asked several soldiers where the small battle would take place and they all slowly pointed them to the right direction, wondering why they would risk their lives by battling in the dark.
While they were heading to the location, the battle had already started. Boromir was clearly identifiable by his black armor. He was fending off two elves with his sword. They were very skilled and could work together in fighting effectively, especially in the dark. But Boromir took advantage of their weak blows by knocking one of them to the ground. The elf looked up at Boromir, whose face was covered by a helmet, and knew he was going to die. He raised his sword to give a fatal blow to the fallen elf, but his sword was stopped on the way down.
"Leave!" Called a voice, and the fallen elf rose to his feet and left.
Boromir looked at the elf that saved them and was horrified to see a female elf. Arwen stood before him, sword poised for battle.
"Rivendell is allowing mere women to join their army?" Boromir laughed. "Then they truly are weak."
"You will eat those words, beast," Arwen yelled. "I may be a woman, but I will be the deliverer of your death."
With that said, she gracefully sliced her sword at him, and he blocked it, sliding his sword from hers and jabbing at her. He missed and she kicked him in his stomach. He had the air knocked out of him, backing up and blocking another one of Arwen's swipes.
"I am afraid at this pace you will die, beast," she sneered.
She then gave a graceful turn, bringing her sword along with her and swiped at Boromir, who fell backwards on his back to avoid the sword. She then took this chance to put the tip of her sword at his throat.
"Do you now see the power of a woman?" She asked. "I wish I could let you live because you will never look at women the same way, beast."
"I would rather die at the hands of an orc than a woman!" Boromir yelled, and she pushed the tip of her sword forward a little bit so he wouldn't be able to try anything.
Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir appeared in the field, outlined by a small forest, and quickly searched for the enemy, but only found soldier that had been captured and Arwen with the point of her sword at a knight's throat.
"Arwen!" Elrohir yelled running up to her, and Legolas followed closely behind. Elladan however franticly searched for someone to fight, because his want for battle was strong. He decided to search through the nearby forest for any man who searched for a place to hide inside.
Elrohir walked to Arwen and put his hand on her shoulder. "We must take him to father for questioning," he told her, but her sword didn't budge.
"I want this one to die," she said, gaze fixed on Boromir's helmet.
"Think about what you're saying, sister," Elrohir told her. "You cannot take a life in cold blood like this."
Arwen turned her gaze from Boromir and to Elrohir. "If you weren't my brother his head would have been removed."
She then removed her sword from his neck and a nearby soldier lifted him up and tied his hands behind his back. He was then forced to head to the palace dungeons.
"Where is Elladan?" Legolas asked.
They all turned in time to see Elladan by the forest edge. But a figure loomed over him in a tree that he didn't notice, but the others did.
"Elladan!" Arwen yelled, but it was to late.
The figure left from the tree and kick Elladan in the back of the head. Then another figure appeared from inside the top of a tree and took Elladan in it's arms. The figures then ran into the forest.
It didn't take Arwen much time to run as fast as she could to her brother, and Elrohir didn't hold back either and followed closely behind her. They ran into the forest and searched for Elladan... but they were to late...
Elladan was nowhere to be found...
