CHAPTER SIX :
After the hobbits had had their fare share of mushrooms, fare share meaning that there were no more mushrooms as far as the eye could see, they set off again to finish their journey to Moria. The conversation of the company was some what lacking. The only people talking were the hobbits, which was of no surprise to the rest of the company. Occasionally someone would ask how much farther away Moria's secret entrance was, or ask a question about the prophecy.
Merry parted from the hobbits and stopped for a second and waited for Legolas, Elrohir and Elladan to catch up to him. When they did, Merry asked a few questions about the journey they were currently involved in.
"How are you going to kill the creature?" he asked Legolas, saying 'the creature' because he honestly did not remember the name of the creature and didn't feel that something that evil deserved a name.
"There is a riddle that I am yet to discover the meaning of." Legolas explained.
"What is this. riddle?" the hobbit asked back. Legolas and the twins smiled, hobbits were so childlike in their curiousity.
"the riddle goes, shot by the one, all is undone, with the arrow of sun. I know so far that I am supposed to shoot the creature but I do not yet know what the arrow of the sun is." Legolas explained truthfully as the hobbit nodded and listened.
"So why did the creature . uh ." paused Merry, trying again to remember the creature's name.
"Asis." Said Elrohir. "Yes, Asis, why did Asis choose to be in Moria, couldn't he have chosen Mordor as his hideout?" Again with a sort of innocent curiousity.
"Well, when Asis was banished from Middle Earth it was said that he was still hideing out here. Some dwarf tales involved young dwarves seeing such a creature in the depths of Moria, that was the most likely place for Asis to hide, seeing as he does not get along well with Sauron." Explained Elladan.
"Why doesn't he get along with Sauron?" Pippin asked, having followed his cousin with his eyes before desiding to go and listen to what was being asked.
"Since Asis used to be a man, Sauron thought him to be a spy of some sort, or at least that is how the myth goes. No one really knows how Sauron felt towards Asis, because. well . no one really knew if he felt at all." Legolas said, having been filled in again and again by Gandalf and Elrond.
"Oh." Said both of the hobbits in unison. Not saying anything more, much to the surprise of the three elves.
"Any more questions?" Elladan asked.
"I was also wondering . it doesn't have anything to do with our journey . but .. I was just wondering . how .how you." Pippin stammered for words, not knowing whether or not it was a stupid question.
"How the three of you met." Merry finnished for him, sometimes it was uncanny how they knew exactly what the other was thinking.
"Well that is quite a story." Said Elrohir.
"And a funny one." Elladan grinned.
"It involves Estel." Said Legolas.
"Who?" Merry was confused.
"Aragorn." Elladan said to fill the young hobbit in.
"Oh, he has a lot of names." Merry grinned.
"So whats the story?" Fro do asked, all four hobbits and Gimli now listening intently.
"well, me and Roh were planning a prank as soon as the 'Prince of Mirkwood' and his father arrived." Elladan grinned at Legolas when pronouncing his title.
"We thought that whoever this 'prince' was, he could use a new hair colour since we heard his hair had always been stunningly blond." Said Elrohir.
"And Arwen came and told us that the king and his son had arrived so we took our bucket of dye and went to the horse stables, because father had told us that the prince always insisted on putting the horses away." Elladan continued, at the point of laughing.
"So we were on top of the stables and someone was coming. So we waited until the footsteps were right beneath us and we through the dye over the side of the stable." Laughed Elrohir.
"and?" Sam asked eagar to find out what happened next.
"and we looked over the side of the stables and there was Legolas, laughing as hard as he could on the ground." Elladan giggled.
"And you weren't mad about the dye?" Merry asked Legolas.
"Well you see, Legolas had volunteered to take the horses to the stables. Only what we didn't know was that Estel had volunteered to go with him." Laughed Elrohir.
"We didn't hit Legolas we hit Aragorn and when we looked over the side of the building, we saw Legolas laughing at Estel, who was covered head to foot with green dye." All of them were now laughing so hard that they had stopped walking.
"It wasn't funny." Said Aragorn, who had heard the tale being retold.
"Oh yes it was!" said Legolas, smileing.
"As I recall, that dye did not rinse off for a week or so afterword." Gandalf smiled, remembering when it happened.
Aragorn just stood there, looking up at the sky and waiting for them to stop laughing, which did not happen. The hobbits were now in fits of laughter on the ground and the dwarf was trying to speak but couldn't because he thought the story was amazingly funny.
Everyone was so caught up in the giggling that only Aragorn noticed Legolas stop his laughter and put his hands to his head. Aragorn ran over to him, causing the group to stop chuckling to see what was wrong.
Legolas felt the pain returning, and another vision clouded his senses. He saw Asis along with himself and the fellowship in Moria. They were surrounded by orcs. Asis held up his hand towards the fellowship. Legolas saw himself, searching the ground for something to stop the beast. He saw an arrow, he reached for it and fitted it to his bow, but he paused for a second giving Asis enough time to kill the hobbits with a light that came from his outstretched hand. He then killed Gimli, Aragorn, Gandalf, Elladan and Elrohir while Legolas was in shock. After all but him was dead, Asis turned to him and all went black.
Legolas opened his eyes to see the familiar scene of the Fellowship surrounding him. He stood up with the help of Elrohir, then he turned in the direction of Moria and began to run.
The rest of the group was speachless. Suddenly Legolas just ran with no warning. Gandalf nodded to Elrohir and Elladan to run after him and to return with him.
Legolas ran as fast as he could. He could hear Elrohir and Elladan gaining on him so he ran faster but it wasn't enough. Elladan, always being faster, tackled him to the ground. They lay there catching their breath for a moment.
"Elrohir, tell the others that we have him." Elladan ordered his brother, who had just reached them. Elrohir turned around and ran back to the fellowship.
"What did you see?" asked the older twin, worried for his friend.
"I don't want any of you coming with me to Moria." Whispered Legolas.
"Why? Tell me what you saw." Elladan demanded.
"Nothing."
"Tell me!" said Elladan, practically yelling.
"Death." Whispered Legolas again, as the rest of the fellowship approached them as they lay in the grass.
"What do you mean death? Give me a strait answer!" Elladan was being annoyingly forceful.
"I saw your deaths!" Legolas yelled back. Then his voice went back to a whisper as everyone listened.
"I'm going alone."
