Still owning nowt. So there.
Chapter 7
Gandalf strode towards where Legolas was cradling Faith's limp body in his arms. "It has begun then." He said gravely, taking in the scene before him.
"Do you know what is happening?" Galadriel asked.
"Alas, yes I do." He answered.
Legolas looked up at this, tears rolling down his cheeks. "What has happened to her?" He asked hoarsely.
"Her soul is being recalled to her world by evil."
"But Faith is not evil." Legolas said, "You know this!"
"She is being recalled for an evil purpose. That which has summoned her wishes to harm her." Gandalf paused "And in doing so will harm us all. We do not have much time."
"Time to stop it?" Galadriel questioned.
"No, time to fight it. She is still fighting the call. Hence her body is still here. Come, we must start now."
"How can we beat this? What must I do?" Legolas asked looking deep into Gandalf's eyes.
"There are nine needed. We must reform the fellowship."
Galadriel and Legolas looked stunned. Galadriel was the first to speak, "But they are dead Gandalf."
"Yes, here they are dead. But there they are not. We will call them even as the evil calls to Faith. It must be done, and done now. Come!" Gandalf led Galadriel and Legolas away hurriedly, Legolas still carrying Faith's body in his arms.
***
"It has begun." Gandalf stated, "And not a moment to soon, if I am not mistaken." He said looking at where Faith's body was. Legolas, Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf watched as Faith's body shimmered and then started to disappear. Legolas felt as though his heart was being torn out of him. "I swear I will find you again Faith." He said quietly as Faith's body vanished before them.
Gandalf turned to him and said, "Come Legolas, we must prepare ourselves for entry to Faith's world."
Gandalf and Legolas armed themselves waiting for the spell that Gandalf had cast with the help of Elrond and Galadriel to take effect.
"How will we find her? Her stories of her world are very different to ours." Legolas asked as he strapped his quiver to his back.
"I am not unprepared, Legolas. I have made contact with one who is already there. He is also a part of out quest. It does not just concern Faith, it concerns nine slayers in total. Including the current slayer. Nine of them, therefore nine of us. Boromir will not be included. I have made contact with her watcher. He will take Boromir's place."
"Faith told me of the watchers. She did not trust them."
"I know of their treatment of Faith, Legolas. Nevertheless, he is our only ally. We have no choice but to trust him." Gandalf felt a slight shiver down his spine. "It is coming. The journey will not take long for us. Let us hope we arrive in the right place. Brace yourself, this may be painful."
"It is for Faith. I will endure anything."
***
Legolas watched as Gandalf's body started to shimmer in front of him. Looking down at his own body he saw himself doing exactly the same thing. Then the room in which they stood seemed to disappear, only to be replaced by darkness. After what seemed to be an eternity in swirling darkness he started to see shapes and light around him. The colours began to come into focus.
Legolas opened his eyes. In front of him stood Gandalf. Next to him stood Gimli. Next to Gimli stood Pippin. Next to Pippin stood Merry. Next to Merry stood Aragorn. Next to Aragorn stood Frodo and next to Frodo stood Sam. "The Fellowship." Legolas whispered gazing at his friends faces as they started to open their eyes.
A voice spoke from what seemed like a great distance, but seemed to become louder and clearer with each word. "The Fellowship I presume?"

Ohh finally the fellowship is reformed and on earth! And who is the watcher? And hey where's Faith in this chapter? Not to worry she's in the next... R&R.
