Chapter One:
Middle Earth was at peace. It had been 7 years since the war of the ring. Many elves had made their way to the Havens leaving the population of Rivendell and Mirkwood quite low. Lord Elrond had stayed, vowing not to leave until the last of his people had crossed the sea.
Very few Elves from the golden wood crossed the sea. Galadriel did not tell them to stay, they felt that in time, they would cross but until that time they would relish Middle Earth.
Eowyn lived happily in Gondor with Faramir, she visited her Uncle and brother in Rohan from time to time but not too often. She missed Rohan.
The Fellowship had stayed close for the first couple years after the War of the Ring, but they drifted apart after a while.
Aragorn and Arwen ruled over Gondor, it had been long since they had seen the Fellowship, the hobbits had not seen them for over two years and Gimli and Legolas had not been seen in longer.
The hobbits lived happily in the Shire. Frodo had returned from the Havens, for they did not provide the companionship of other hobbits. Merry and Pippin were still the same, though Pippin married Diamond long ago. Samwise and Rosie lived very happily in their hobbit hole, surrounded by gardens, with their daughter, Ally. The hobbits had visited Aragorn and Arwen many times in Gondor, but never stayed long for they loved the Shire very much and did not wish to spend too much time without seeing it.
Gimli now lived in the Glittering caves, quite happily. He and Legolas had stayed true to their promise to each other to visit Fangorn and the caves. Though Gimli was happy, he missed Legolas. They had not seen eachother in almost 3 years.
Legolas and many elves of Mirkwood were exploring Mordor, ensureing that no evil still lurked there. He had been away for all three of the years that he had not seen Gimli and he greatly missed him. Gandalf had ventured to see him two years ago but left in haste to fulfil his duties as the White Wizard. Legolas had not seen the hobbits in over five years, he greatly missed their presence in his life, they gave him great joy when he saw them in Gondor for Aragorn and Arwen's wedding, and many visits after that. Legolas also deeply missed Aragorn who he had not seen in four years, he longed for the companionship of his friend, his brother.
Legolas was relaxed. He and the rest of his Mirkwood companions had been traveling all day. Though the elves were not tired, the horses were exhausted and they were forced to stop. They had made camp in a forrest area, to Legolas's comfort. The exploration of Mordor was taking longer than he thought it would. He missed the Fellowship and immensly desired to go and see them.
He had received word that the Fellowship were having a reunion in a couple days, Legolas could not attend it though, he was very tired and did not feel up to the trip. Even if he did go, the journey to Rivendell would take too long and the Fellowship would be ready to leave.
Legolas leaned against a tree and closed his eyes. He was a little away from the camp, all the talking was not very relaxing to him, he needed peace and quiet. He was about to get up and back to the group when he noticed a pain in his head. It was kind of a throbbing that was growing more and more painfull. He held his head against the pain but it was too much. Suddenly his eyes went white and they clouded over. He saw flashes of fire and darkness. He saw a creature ruling over middle earth. A creature that was all powerful, slaughtering the innocents. Legolas saw the Fellowship, they were the first. Everyone of them killed by the Ruthless being. He heard screams in his head and the pain increased. Then suddenly it subsided, the pain lessened and his muscles relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief, though still wondering what the vision meant. He surmised that he should venture as fast as he could to Rivendell. He got up and ran back to the camp. As soon as he reached it he went to his loyal steed, Arod. He mounted and just as he was about to ride away, his dependable friend, Inekor, stopped him.
"Legolas, Where are you going?" asked Inekor in a worried tone.
"I must leave to Rivendell immediately, it is of the upmost importance." Legolas explained.
"By the Valar, Legolas your eyes, they are white." Said Inekor.
" I saw something, a vision. Take care of the group while I am away."ordered Legolas, unsurely. He wasn't sure his friend would believe him, he was happy to see his friend didn't look like as if he were sizeing him up for a cell with padded walls. Inekor nodded, and Legolas ushered the horse away at top speed.
Legolas had been riding for hours before he realised that he had left in such a hurry that he had brought no food or drink with him. He chastised himself for being so foolish. Through the inner war with himself he did not notice that he was halfway to Rivendell. Since he had no food to stop and eat and did not feel the least bit tired, he had no need to stop.
Finally, the night was too thick to see anything and Arod was growing very weary and Legolas surmised that it would be wise to stop for the night. At first he did not intend on sleeping but before he knew it, he was pulled into the world of dreams.
At first Legolas did not dream but then he saw himself along with the rest of the fellowship in what looked Moria. They were battleing the creature. He felt as if he were somehow outside his body, but he looked down and saw that he wasn't. He realised quickly that this was a dream, otherwise he couldn't be standing where he was and also be fighting the creature at the same time.
He looked around. He was standing in the doorway of a large stone room. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and he whipped around, only to become face to face with the creature. He finally took notice of what this creature looked like, it had the shape of a human, but was scaley like a serpant and had slits for eyes, it spoke.
"Welcome Legolas." It spoke in Elvish.
"Who are you?" he asked warily, in his native tongue. "I am Asis. I am ancient and powerful, I have lived in the depths of Moria for thousands of years." Spoke the creature.
"What do you want?" Legolas asked, backing away.
"To rule Middle Earth, isn't it obvious? Your people shunned me away so long ago and now I have returned to seek revenge." Said Asis.
"What are you planning?" Legolas sounded hopeful considering he had no doubt in his mind that Asis was not going to reveal his plan.
"Oh I wouldn't tell you that. But you'll see in time what I am up to." Spoke Asis, "or will you?" and with that the creature pulled out a knife and before Legolas could do anything to prevent it, Asis stabbed him in his left side. Legolas screamed and he was yanked back into conciousness.
He awoke with a jolt and looked around the camp, expecting the creature to jump out of the shadows. In his turning to look around, Legolas noticed a pain shot up his left side, he looked down to see the knife from his dream sticking out of him. He pulled it out with little pain and ignored the blood pouring from him, it would stop soon. He examined the knife with intense curiousity, it was marked with ancient looking runes. When he had finished looking over the knife he realised that he was still sitting on the ground. The prince got up and whisled for Arod, who wasn't in sight. He needed to get to Lord Elrond immediately and tell him of the creature.
As Arod galloped into sight, Legolas gathered his cloak and mounted the steed. He whispered hasty elvish words in the horses ear and they were off at full speed to warn the others of impending danger.
