AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm such a cruel person, aren't I? What can you expect? (This is coming from a person who pokes at ant hills and when they start crawling up her best friend's leg, she laughs.) Also, Legolas and I have a contract... *a slide is shown of him signing the contract, Aragorn is in the corner with a knife at his throat*

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, except for the plot, if there is one.

Legolas fell to his knees soundlessly. He opened his mouth to let out a strangled cry, but no noise came. He winced as the blade was wrenched from his broken body. His vision began to cloud and breathing became difficult, and finally impossible. His heart strained at every beating, and soon, it stilled. The Orc kicked him to the ground, but he felt no pain.

He never would again.

The battle raged on, for how long, Aragorn did not know. But it seemed that most of his foes had left, or were leaving, and the ones that remained were quickly slain.

"Aragorn!" Gimli's distressed voice sounded over the still battle. He ran, thinking the Dwarf needed assistance, he had noticed some very large Uruk-Hai. But when he passed over the hill, he realized the one who needed help, was far beyond aid.

"No," he prayed softly, as his pace quickened to reach to elf in time. "What happened?" the man asked, his anxiety had made is voice sound sharper than he had intended.

"He... I... He..." Gimli stuttered, "He wanted to fight, I tried to stop him, but he..."

"Speak none of it Gimli, son of Gloin," Aragorn said, his tone softening "you could have done nothing." He pressed his fingers against his neck, feeling for any sign the elf was still alive. He received none. He pressed his ear against the elf's still chest.

Silence.

"His soul has forsaken his body," Aragorn said, as a tear rolled down his cheek fell onto the ground.

THE END

Just kidding, it's too short to be a chapter. Life goes on! (It depends whose perspective you're looking from though.) No, really. I am writing another chapter right this instant.
