Ch. 9 At All Costs

Faer walked in at that very moment. "Like I guessed a foul Nazgul," she said hotly.

The Nazgul laughed and took out his sword. Faer smiled and met his challenge. "Sern crist is I Crist ned i Odog Elenath." (This sword is The Sword of the Seven Stars) she said before putting it through his stomach. (Faer got the sword from Galadil as a farewell gift) The Nazgul shrieked the same shriek that the Witch King did when Eowyn killed him. Faer turned her attention to Legolas. She went to him and found that he was hurt mentally as well as physically. His right arm was shattered, the skin on his chest was torn, and he didn't recognize Faer. Faer whistled to Celebel. Taking a cloak from a pack she carefully wrapped it around him. Picking Legolas up she put him on Celebel and then mounted. With one word from Faer, Celebel was off down the tunnel. Her ring was once again glowing. When they exited the cave Faer put Celebel into a gallop and rode to their camp.

Faer packed up everything and put the packs on Legolas's horse. She then remounted with Legolas and made for the Grey Havens. The other horse followed, but soon fell behind. Faer rode as fast as she could for days with only one or two stops. They finally reached the havens. Cirdan the shipwright was waiting for them.

"Legolas is hurt so get the boat ready and we will board." Faer said quickly.

Cirdan did as he was told. Not long after he came out on a silver ship. When he put the plank down they boarded. With Cirdan steering they left the havens.

**************

Elrond and Thranduil were walking along the beach when they saw a silver ship sail up into the harbor. The ship docked and as soon as the plank went down a silver horse with a silver rider came thundering out. The horse skidded and stopped in front of Elrond. For the first time Elrond noticed that the rider was a she-elf. The elf swung off the horse and when she landed she gently pulled Legolas down. Thranduil gasped when he saw his youngest son. "What have you done to him?" Thranduil said in shock.

Oh, what a nice impression that was, Faer thought. "I have done nothing. I was riding with him to the havens when he disappeared. After awhile I found a cave and went inside. There I found not only Legolas, but a Nazgul also," she said.

"Really. And how do we know that you're not lying."

" My name is Faer and I'm the wielder of The Ring of the Silver Wind and the Sword of the Seven Stars. If you do not believe me ask Manwe or even Varda could tell you who I am."

Elrond was shocked and stared at the ring on her finger. Thranduil still didn't believe her. He called upon some elves and told them to take Legolas to Galadriel. Thranduil pulled Faer's arm and lead her towards Valmar. They then they headed towards Taniquetil. After a long climb they got to the top. Thranduil went in front of Manwe. "This elf claims to be Faer the wielder of the legendary sword and lost ring."

"And she is, Thranduil. Your son was not hurt by her." Manwe then directed his attention to Faer. "I'm happy you decided to come. Now let us see how Legolas is doing."

They walked back down the steps. Faer noticed the beauty of Valmar. There was gold, silver, marble, and many other materials all over. The roads were made of white marble and the houses of gold and silver. After a few minutes they came to a small cottage. Manwe told them to go in. the cottage was huge. It may have looked small outside, but inside it was huge. Manwe lead them to the back. There Legolas lay and Galadriel was standing over him chanting some spell.

"How does he fare?" asked Faer not saying it, but sending the question into Galadriel's mind.

Galadriel looked up her face worried. "His cuts have healed, but his has not. I fear the Nazgul said or did something to him. He thinks that you betrayed him." Galadriel answered sadly in the same way as Faer had asked.

"Is he awake?" Faer asked out loud.

"Yes he is. You may talk to him if you wish."

Faer walked over to the other side of the bed, so she was not in Galadriel's way. "Legolas I'm sorry I wasn't there, but I never abandoned you. When you didn't come back I went to search for you and found you in a cave." Faer said as she started to weep.

Legolas looked up and touched her face with his hand. Faer looked into his and saw that he wanted to believe her, but something was holding him back. Thranduil saw that Faer really did love his son and was sad that he didn't trust her anymore. Elrond couldn't believe that Legolas could be so blind. Even he could see the love in her eyes and he was sure Thranduil could to. Manwe had left to get something and Galadriel was busy making a sleep potion.

Legolas pulled his hand away and seemed to start to build a wall around his heart. Faer could tell he was pulling away from her. She hated herself for not being there for him. Galadriel came and poured the potion passed his lips. Legolas fell to sleep almost instantly. Faer turned and left telling Galadriel to call her when Legolas awoke.

"My dear girl he needs time to heal his wounds." Galadriel said cautiously.

"The more time I give him, the stronger the wall will get and the harder to take it down. If he doesn't see the truth and blocks me out he will just cover his wound and it will never heal. If he faces the truth there is a good chance it will heal," Faer snapped back and left.

A light breeze welcomed Faer as she walked out of the cottage. Legolas didn't need to say it nor did Galadriel have to tell her. Legolas didn't trust her anymore and that was the bottom line. She was in Valinor like she had wished, but it wasn't like she had dreamed. In her dreams she had a perfect life and an elf husband that had always loved and always would. Know she had found that, but it had been taken away.

Faer looked around and saw a dwarf coming towards her. That must be Gimli, she thought. Gimli seemed hotter than a Mexican green dip. "What happened to Legolas?" he asked. Well more like demanded.

"A Nazgul got him. He had went to get some water and I was making a morning snack." she answered with sad eyes and turned to walk away.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude."

"It's okay. He is sleeping. You could wait for him to get up or show me around."

"I'll show you around, but how will we know when he has waken?"

"I asked Galadriel to tell me. Hey maybe you could talk some sense into him."

***************

For most of the day, at least what was left of it, Gimli showed Faer around. He asked her if had heard of any dwarfs. She told him that if there were any they don't come out often. Galadriel had sent a messenger that Legolas had waken and they started towards the cottage.
