Goldenrose:- Cool story you have, thanks for you review.
Lil*Bee:- Earlier in my story is say that Legolas is 1900 years old, looking 19, this is young in my world. I thank you for the information though, hope you carry on reading.
Eccentric mind:- the same as above, Legolas in this story is about 19 but does not tell Eowyn that.
MoroTheWolfGod:-thank you for your review
Earendilstar:- carry on and hurt Eowyn all you like, I don't care about her. Thank you for you review.
Chapter 10The room was quiet when the group entered, Eowyn went to straight to the young girls side, the girl has glistening lines of tears down her face.
"Will he be alright?" she hiccupped out
Eowyn looked at Theoden for the answer.
"He will be fine, young one," answered the king gently, then he turned to Eowyn "take the child to get some food and change her clothes. She can come back here to rest."
"yes my lord" accepted Eowyn, taking the little girl to get changed and get some food."
*I will talk to Aragorn later, he must see that I like him. That Elf is really annoying. How to get rid of him?*
The room was once more quite, waiting for the boy to wake.
Aragorn looked around, Gandalf was fussing over the boy, trying to wake him, at his side was Theoden, concern creasing his brow.
Aragorn continued his tour of the room, his eyes settling Gimli, his eyes held a glazed look.
*I wonder what is on his mind?*
But he decided to find out later. His eyes continued on searching for the other occupant. Finding him leaning against the wall eyes closed, listening to something.
"What are you listening to Legolas?" asked Aragorn shattering the peace of the room.
This also broke the elves concentration. He looked up quickly.
"The boys heart beat, it is quickening he is close to waking"
As if commanded by Legolas words the boy finally started to wake up, his eyes opened to find that he was in strange surroundings. Panicking he looked round quickly taking in the people that were in the room.
"Where am I, and what have you do with my sister?" demanded the boy
"I am King Theoden of Edoras and your sister is with the Lady Eowyn getting some food." Answered Theoden
the boy gasped and went to get up to show respect to the king, Gandalf stopped him.
"you must rest child, you had quite a fall off that horse."
There was resistance in the boys eyes, until Theoden reinforced what the wizard had said.
"You must rest, your sister will be a long soon and food will be prepared for you. We will go and leave you to rest, young Master." Said Theoden. "but I have something to ask"
"yes sir" replied the boy, struggling to keep awake.
"why were you travelling to Edoras?"
"our town was attacked by wild men and orcs, I was sent as a messenger."
"Thank you that is all that I needed, now you must rest your sister will be along shortly"
The group filed out of the room into the great hall.
"the boy will be fine once he has gotten some rest." said Gandalf. "King Theoden, this attack will be the first of a long line and they will eventually attack Edoras, you must do something and quickly" said Gandalf urgently.
"I will not risk open war with Isengard." Stared Theoden.
"you have no choice, you are already at war" answered Aragorn
"Last time I looked Theoden not Aragorn was the king of Edoras" cried Theoden testily.
"Then act like the king of Edoras and protect it" demanded Gandalf.
Shocked at the outburst from the Wizard, Theoden realised that there was only one course of action.
"We will evacuate the town to Helms Deep. I can protect my people there." Decided Theoden. "Hama tell the citizens to get ready to move to Helm deep"
The order went out.
"THE CITY MUST EMPTY, CARRY WHAT YOU NEED TAKE NO MORE. WE LEAVE FOR HELMS DEEP SOON. BY ORDER OF THE KING" Boomed Hama from the steps of the halls of the King.
The people of Edoras were quick to carry out the kings orders, packing a few belongings to the move to the fortress of Helms Deep.
"My King we must also get ready to move to the fortress, as it is your orders." Said Gandalf
" Yes, Hama get the soldiers ready to go. Gandalf and your group go prepare to ride to Helms deep." Ordered Theoden.
"We shall take your leave, but I will not travel to Helms deep with you. I will go for aid." Said Gandalf as the king was leaving the room. Theoden looked at Gandalf, seeing the Wizard was not going to argue with him, Theoden reluctantly had to agree.
Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli and Legolas left the room towards the stables. Gandalf was mumbling under his breath, Legolas could not catch what he was saying.
"What is the matter Mithrandier?" inquired Legolas looking at the old Wizard.
Gandalf looked up
"Nothing young Elf, I was merely thinking aloud" replied the wizard.
The group entered the stables, Gandalf heading straight for Shadowfax.
"Aragorn I will go and find Eomer with his men. Look on the west on the fifth day, I will be there. The defences at Helms deep must hold."
"they will hold" determination rang in Aragorn's voice.
"Follow your instinct with the Elf Aragorn. You need him and him you. Remember this my friend" said Gandalf looking Aragorn straight in the eyes.
He open the store where Shadowfax was being held and mounted the white horse lord.
"Good luck Gandalf, I will hold you to your promise." Stated Aragorn, looking at the message Gandalf had given him.
*Follow my instinct with Legolas. what could he mean?.*
Shadowfax speed pasted him and into the main part of the stables. An angry shout from Gimli could be heard and chuckling from Legolas.
Aragorn looked at the pair, they were different sides of the stable and Gimli was sat on the floor.
"What happened?" Asked Aragorn.
"That bloody Wizard nearly ran my over with that beast of his." Grumbled Gimli.
"you can not blame me here, I did warn you to move out of the way" stated Legolas
"yes yes, you blasted elf." Groaned Gimli.
"Well. We better get ready to move, I think this is our path to fight at Helms Deep beside Theoden." Said Aragorn.
"We should gather our belongings then" said Legolas walking off towards the sleeping halls.
Gimli and Aragorn soon followed, both in their own thoughts, preparing for battle.
I know boring, but it needed to be done.
More soon Devilburns
