Ch. 8 The Journey to Valinor After a few months Faer was well again. She noticed Legolas packing and asked what he was doing. He looked up and said, " My time here is at an end. I must go back to Valinor.
"If you go back I will come with you." Faer stated as she started to pack.
Legolas turned and starred at her. Thoughts went through his mind. 'Would his father allow him to be with her. Would the Valar allow her to come? Of course they would, she had the most powerful ring.' "Of course you can come." He said.
A few hours later they were ready to leave. The whole city turned out to say farewell. Legolas was happy their people excepted her. Galadil was there and gave Faer a parting gift. As they left every one in the city said farewell. The sound was wonderful, even the best choir would envy them.
Legolas watched Faer as they left. Her face was full of emotion and her eyes were stars. Faer turned and looked at Legolas. She had felt him starring at her. When she had said that she was coming she had feared that Legolas would say no. Yet he didn't. She was going to Valinor. She had dreamed about Valinor since reading all of J.R.R. Tolkien's books on Middle Earth. That was a long time ago and then she had believed Valinor to be a very real dream, but nothing more.
One thing that worried her was Thranduil. He was nice, but would he allow her to be with his youngest son. The Valar didn't worry her. Two months ago (before the hunt) Manwe had sent her an eagle asking her to come to Valinor to live with the gods.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Legolas dragging her back to reality.
"I'm thinking about what are future and what your father will say about me."
"I was worried about that and what the Valar will say."
"You need not worry about the Valar. They sent me the eagle that came a while back. They asked me to come and I said only with Legolas."
"They did well that's a relief."
Changing the subject Faer said, " Let's go through Mirkwood. Then we will stop a mile from the west edge."
"I would love to go through Mirkwood, but why do we have to?"
"There are roads and cities I would rather not go through."
For the next few hours they rode in silence. Nothing much happened. The forest was beautiful and peaceful as always. They traveled at a trot for fear of the spider webs kept them from going faster. Not all evil was gone from Mirkwood and that is why they meet no men. No logging company dared to touch any of the trees and people who went in rarely ever came out.
When they were a mile away from the edge of Mirkwood they stopped. They unpacked some food and blankets. Legolas made a small fire and they ate some lembas bread.
The next day they didn't set out.
"Why do we stay here?" asked Legolas.
"It will be better if we travel under the shade of night from now until we reach the western shore." Answered Faer.
The day went by fast. By night they were ready to leave. In a few minutes they reached a road. There were no cars out, but they still went quickly. Their horses were silent and so were they. After riding for an hour they stopped. They ate and talked a little. "Why do we have to go so fast over the road," asked Legolas who clearly didn't know how much danger he had been in on his way to Elves Wood.
"Remember when I told you about cars. Well some men who drive them won't stop the cars for anything." Faer explained.
"Really you mean they would kill us?"
"Yes some men would do that. Legolas was silent for a while. Faer wondered what he was thinking about. After a while she became lost in her own thoughts, when she heard a shriek and snapped back to reality. Legolas asked what it was, but Faer told him she didn't know.
Faer asked her ring and found out what it was. It was a monster that had been awaken by Grug. She didn't tell Legolas. Faer had hoped that they could reach the boat and cast off before it got them.
"I think we should go faster," said Faer.
Legolas didn't argue. He wanted to get out of there too, but not because of the monster. Legolas didn't like the feel of the forest.
Faer could fell the monsters eyes on them. She turned to look, but saw nothing. Legolas noticed and asked her what she was doing. "Nothing I was just happy to get out of that place." She said and hated herself for lying. The rest of the night nothing much happened. They reached a large clearing and made camp. The day was cloudy and humid. Faer walked over to Legolas and sat down. She laid her head on his chest. Legolas looked down at her surprised, but his heart got the better of him and he kissed her on the forehead. Faer smiled and looked up. She kissed him on the lips. Faer's caught the sound of something and she broke away.
Legolas noticed that she was worried about something. "What is it, love?" he asked.
"Something is watching us. We have to go."
Legolas noticed that she was serious and started to pack. Faer walked over to one of the packs and pulled a sword out of it. She put it in a sheath on her belt and mounted. When Legolas mounted they left. They rode for hours. Passing over roads and through small towns. Finally at five in the morning they stopped.
Faer laid down next to Legolas and fell asleep. Legoals looked down at her and kissed her on the forehead before falling asleep. When Legolas woke, Faer was making a morning snack.
"When did you get up?" Legolas asked.
"An hour before the sun came up." Faer answered with a smile.
"You didn't wake me?"
"Why would I? You looked so peaceful."
Legolas smiled and walked over. Faer kissed himon his lips. He broke away and looked at her. A smile played at his lips. Faer smiled and went bach to making the snack. Legolas left to find some water. After a while Faer became worried. She called to Celebel and went to find him. She didn't go far before she found a trail of something being dragged. Something caught her eye, it was the leaf pin that Legolas had gotten in Lothlorien during the end of the third age.
Right away Faer knew that the monster had gotten him. She followed the trail for hours before coming to a cave. The trail went in and so did she. Her ring glowed at her comand. The light it gave off could have lighted an indoor football feild. There were bones and armor lying on the floor. Faer took out her sword when she heard a scream.
Dispite the pain Legolas had managed to keep his mouth closed, but when it got to much he screamed. The monster laughed and watched as Legolas flinched at the sound. "She can't save you now," hissed the monster.
