The long awaited chapter three. This chapter will hopefully answer a lot of
the questions I am being asked. Enjoy!
Chapter Three
The sorceress was laid on a bed in a healing chamber. It was Elrond's choice; he thought if they treated her with courtesy, then she might relax a little bit.
Guards were placed beside her bed posts and two on each side of the door. They were armed and told to shoot if they felt endangered, but were warned their shot would most likely not hit target.
Elrond took Legolas to his study and carefully shut the door. Before turning towards him, Elrond started, "I must say I am relieved to have you back in one piece. The state Elladan arrived in. . ." he trailed off, shaking his head.
"Yes, thank you for that, Lord Elrond."
The ruler of Rivendell turned, looking at him with slight curiosity, "For what?"
"Your protection; without it she would have surely tossed me all around the forest," Legolas said as he remembered how many times she swiped her hand at him.
Elrond looked at him, "You over credit me, Prince of Mirkwood. I apologize, but if I had the power to protect you from her, do you think we would have the problem at hand?"
"Though, you stopped her from leaving and from harming you."
"No. That was not me."
"It was not?"
"Nay, I believe that was you."
"Me?" Legolas asked, astonished.
"Ay, she was sent to save your people from the coming shadow, was she not?"
"Yes, that is what she said."
"She can not harm you if she is ordered to protect you, yes?"
Legolas thought about it, but Elrond did not allow him as much time as he wanted and continued, "Would you spare my guards from her wrath and watch over her? You will also want to get to know each other for it is a long journey to Mirkwood."
"Get to know each other?"
"I apologize, but you must return to your father and see if he ordered her presence. I would lend you guards, yet with her I do not think any harm will come to you."
The prince stood there with his mouth slightly agape. "Ah, she will be extremely poor company," he finally stated turning away.
Elrond answered, "Yes, but perhaps she will loosen up."
"I realize that. Thank you, Lord Elrond. I shall relieve your guards now."
"Farewell."
Legolas bowed and exited, heading to the healing hall.
When he arrived and told the guards what Elrond had ordered, the guards looked at him as if he were insane and refused to leave.
"Thank you for refusing for my safety's sake, but please, I know what I am doing."
Apparently none of the guards knew that he was the one who brought her because for the next few minutes they tried to describe the quality of her powers. They failed miserably in Legolas' perspective, and did not come close to her dangerous presence. Although, they did seem to comprehend for they would not budge.
Elrohir came by to see what the commotion was about and when told, looked at him even more strangely than the guards.
"Please, Elrohir. I am sane and I do know what I am speaking of. It is not my will, but your father's." Legolas said.
"I am sorry, but if you say it is my father's will, then I shall go to my father." Elrohir left and went down the corridor to his father's study.
The elves stood in silence as the minutes ticked by. Legolas was about to go speak with Elrond himself when Elrohir returned.
"Presumably you and my father have some sort of secret ?" Elrohir asked.
Legolas chuckled, "It is no secret. You were there and if you combine the facts your ears heard and your eyes saw, maybe you could figure it out."
"Perhaps," Elrohir seemed distraught, being teased by a younger elf in front of guards. "Father grants you---no what did he say. Ah! He orders you to take guard. All of the guards except the one who gave you difficulty are relieved. He was you," Elrohir continued, speaking to the guard. "to stand post at the door and be sure no one enters."
"Yes, my prince." The guard stepped into the room and relieved the guards. Legolas entered and took a seat by the door.
The guard shut the door and he was left alone with her. . .again.
Thanks for reading. Please review. Also, anyone who is interested, I am in great need of a beta reader! Let me know if you are interested!
Well that was a nifty chapter. What did you think? I am sorry if some of the sentences make absolutely no sense. I was trying out the 'speak' command on the computer where you speak instead of type. Let's just say it doesn't translate very well. For example:
The chase rats main Graham him by the will. Translation: The chase that ran him up the wall.
This computer These is that that Translation: This computer is a piece of crap.
Pretty cool, too bad it isn't more accurate. Then I could become extremely lazy. Anyhow, please review!
