Chapter Eighteen-Fighting, Fading, Gone, and the Nazgul
Cesbrim laughed evilly as he managed to trip Legolas down onto the ground so easily. Legolas grimaced in pain as he landed right on his chest wound.
"I am afraid that I won't last much longer, I am so weary." Legolas thought. 'No! I can't give in! I will fight Cesbrim for the boy's freedom, I must win to give Sauron displeasure!' Legolas got up slowly only to be met by a kick to his jaw. Legolas flipped upwards and fell on his back, the fall knocking the life out of him.
"You know, why don't you just let me kill you? It would make your life much easier, but then again, you won't have a life, now would you?" The spirit laughed evilly. Legolas took this chance, and got up, grabbed his sword, and stabbed it into the boy's chest, where the heart was. But instead of gushing out blood, the sword glowed a light blue colour, then it disappeared. The stab wound glowed as well, and Legolas could see it slowly healing itself. Afterwards, Legolas saw a black shadow go out of the boy, it screeched and disintegrated. Legolas scoffed.
"Foolish spirit, so stupid, I can't believe that he died so easily." Legolas said aloud to himself, then he collapsed in a heap. Legolas was bleeding heavily on his chest, arm, and leg. He was dying, he knew it, but then he crawled to the body of the little boy, and shook him gently. The boy stirred and slowly opened his eyes, revealing two green orbs (the boy's eyes).
"What am I doing here? What?" Legolas smiled gently.
"You were possessed by a demon spirit who wanted to kill people, but he's gone now, I killed it. Are you all right?" The little boy sat up, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yea, I am fine, but a demon possessed me?! Why would it do that? I didn't do anything? Will it come again? Why are you-" The boy gasped and started to cry.
"You.you are injured because of me, right? That demon hurt you, right? And now.look at all the blood! You are dying! Oh, what did I do wrong? How did the demon possess me?" Legolas sighed heavily, he was bleeding to death, his eyes were blurred, he coughed out blood, but he kept conscious to help the boy.
"Did your father die from the explosion that I caused?" The boy looked at Legolas.
"Ye-yes, he did die, but I know that it wasn't your fault, and I truthfully don't blame you! Mistakes like this happen, especially in a war like that! I fought and miraculously survived with only a bruise, that war was chaos! And I have thought long and hard after that, and I don't blame you, really. We've all been through a lot, we've all made mistakes, and it's really unfair to blame you. Besides, I still have my mother, and I have to take care of her from now on. Don't blame yourself either, you wouldn't have been able to stop all of the monsters who would've constantly tried to blow up the wall! I know my father died an honourable death, and I will always love him." The boy wiped away his tears, Legolas smiled, but then coughed harshly, non-stop, blood pouring out of his chest.
'Well, I guess I won't be able to see Lenna again, this time, I'm sure to die. I am sorry everyone, I failed.again.' Legolas thought grimly. The little boy panicked and stood up.
"I'll go get the healer." But Legolas shook his head and coughed again.
"Get.Aragorn, get Aragorn, he will be able to.help." Legolas said in between gasps of breath, the blood was filling his lungs, and he couldn't breath. The boy nodded and ran to find Aragorn as fast as he could. A few moments later, the boy found Aragorn talking to a guard at the gates.
"Lord Aragorn! Lord Aragorn! Hurry! Please! Prince Legolas is injured and dying! His wounds are fatal! You must help him now! He hasn't got much time!" That suddenly caught Aragorn's attention.
"WHAT?! Where is Legolas? Where are his wounds located? Speak quickly!"
"Lord Legolas is on the top of Helms Deep, on the east side. There is a stab wound on his leg, arm, and chest, he is bleeding heavily, how laboured breathing, and is coughing out a lot of blood! He was in a fight with a demon.that is how he got the wounds! You must hurry!" the boy yelled.
"All right, go find Gandalf the White and Elrond of Rivendell, go!" The boy jumped up at the command and started to run again. Aragorn himself ran back to his quarters, took all of the herbs, bandages, cloths, water, and medicine with him, and ran to the top. Once Aragorn reached the top, he stopped in his tracks, and sucked in a lot of breath. There, right in front of him, was a figure lying on the ground, blood pouring beneath him, motionless.
"Legolas." Aragorn whispered, he was so shocked, he couldn't move at all, he was so afraid.
"Estel! Save him! Save the Prince of Mirkwood!" The voice of Lady Galadriel spoke to him from the wind. Aragorn jumped at the voice and leaped into action, he ran to Legolas' side, and turned Legolas on his back. Once Aragorn saw the wounds, he wanted to cry, there was practically a hole in Legolas' chest, still bleeding, in his arm, there was a stab wound, as well as his leg. The thing that puzzled Aragorn most was that Legolas' blood was a dark red colour, instead of just red, it was turning black. Aragorn quickly tried his best to stop the bleeding, but every cloth that he put on the wounds instantly soaked right through.
"Legolas! Legolas, can you hear me? Legolas!" Aragorn cried, and to his surprise, Legolas moaned in pain.
"Aragorn? Is that you?" Aragorn nodded.
"Yes, yes it is me, Legolas, you will get through this, I promise.but tell me, why is your blood turning black?" Legolas frowned.
"So the Morgul poison has almost completed its task. Aragorn, you must kill me now, before it's too late!"
"Wait, Morgul poison? The demon stabbed you with a Morgul blade?"
"Yes, but elves do not turn into a Ringwraith as humans would, if and elf was stabbed, the poison would spread through the body. Into my blood system, eating away my very soul and all that is good of me, and it will take control of me, and I will become the Sauron's assassin. Mindless, heartless, spiritless, and emotionless, not knowing pain or death. I will be a shell, an elf in disguise! So kill me, Estel, before I kill you!" Aragorn was shocked, but he understood, if Legolas was to become and assassin, he would indeed be a very good and strong one.
"What would I say to the others? How would every be able to face myself again, Legolas? I should, I could not! It is too hard! You are my best friend, my brother.I could not, find someone else."
"Aragorn! Tell the others and yourself that it was MY choice, I do not want to become corrupted let alone enslaved! If you do not kill me, I will!" Suddenly, Legolas let out a painful cry.
"Legolas!" Legolas was having spasms.
"Aragorn! What has happened to Legolas?!" A voice came from behind him, panicking. Aragorn looked up to meet the eyes of Lord Elrond.
"Legolas was stabbed by a Morgul blade, and the poison is consuming him.can't we do anything to help him??" Gandalf and Lord Elrond sighed in despair.
"Nay, Estel, there is nothing we can do. We must." Lord Elrond sighed deeply.
"We must kill him." Aragorn finished the sentence.
"Aye, we must." Lord Elrond replied. Suddenly, Legolas stopped moving and closed his eyes. But then, he quickly opened them again, yet this time, he had black pupils. Legolas quickly moved his arms up, and started to strangle Aragorn. Aragorn was surprised and was caught off the guard, and he could not fight back. Then, Gandalf chanted a spell, and Legolas was flung into the air right against the wall. But then, Legolas got up again and screeched, something that only a Nazgul could do, as loud as he could. The screech pierced the silent night, and instantly, everyone at Helms Deep awoke with a startle. Then, Legolas stopped and stared straight at Aragorn, Lord Elrond, and Gandalf with dead eyes.
"What did Legolas do? Why did he screech like that?" Gimli ran up the stairs beside Gandalf and asked.
"He called the other Ringwraiths here." Gandalf said and sighed.
"Legolas was stabbed by a Morgul blade, Gimli, he's not Legolas anymore, he is but a dark servant, evil and corrupted. It is too late, Legolas is no more." Gimli stared at Gandalf disbelievingly, then looked at Aragorn, and Gimli could see that it was true. Then, as expected, at the horizon, they could see that the sun was rising, but right in front of the oncoming sun, nine dots could be seen in the sky.
"The Nazgul." Lord Elrond said. Aragorn stood up and unsheathed his sword.
"Let them come, they will not take Legolas! Eowyn, please make a fire for us, and hurry!" And surely, at the stairs, Eowyn stood, surprised that Aragorn noticed her presence, but she quickly ran off to get the wood. As the sun was still rising, the dots became more visible, and all everyone could hope for was that Lenna would arrive soon to help them with her newfound magical powers. Eowyn returned and made the fire, everyone dipped their swords into oil, and set it on fire. While Legolas just stood there, gazing at the Nazgul, Eowyn stared at Legolas, partly afraid to know what had happened to the kind elf prince.
"They are here." Aragorn whispered softly.
