Chapter 11The sun peaked over the plains of Edoras, red raise sliding out touching and caressing the land and people in its way. The people of the fine city were already up in the light, packing the last of their belongings to travel to the fortress of Helms Deep.
The Red fingers reached the sleeping rooms in the castle, no one still sleep, all creatures were moving readying themselves for battle.
Eowyn was organising the people of the castle, telling them what they needed, then going to pack for herself. She walked into her grand room, morning filtered through the window, showing the shadow figure in the corner of the room.
"Thero you have arrived" stated the Lady
"Yes my Lady, what is it that you request of me?" asked the man, straight to the point.
"I once hear that your kind of business man have a certain taste for the unusual, the price rises, am I correct.?"
"yes they do, the rarest creature get the highest price" answered Thero.
"what would you say an elf would bring in?" enquired Eowyn.
"Elves don't exist my lady." Stated Thero, and started to leave.
"but they do, there is one in the castle, I shall show you"
this stopped Thero from leaving.
Eowyn walked over to her window that looked out on the castle courtyard.
Legolas had decided to leave Aragorn and Gimli to their preparations, Gimli sharpening his axe, and Aragorn in meditation. Silently he left, Arod would need preparing for the weight of himself and Gimli.
He walked to the stables receiving looks of wonder as he walked, the announcement of him being an elf had been shouted,
All people were wary of him now. He arrived to the stables to get Arod ready, but as he went to move the white horse out of the store that held Brego and Arod, Brego moved in front of the pair,
"Brego, please move, I need to get Arod ready." Said Legolas to the chestnut stallion.
Brego just nickered and neighed in return, looking Legolas straight in the face.
"I am not going to run again I promise" stated the elf.
Brego just stomped a hoof down. Legolas was thinking what to do.
"Why don't you come out as well that way you know where Arod is?"
Brego moved from the exit to let the elf through, but followed closely behind.
The walked into the courtyard, readying the white horse for travel. A saddle was added for the smaller being that was going to be carried.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Eowyn showed Thero the person in the courtyard,
"He is an Elf," stated the Lady. Looking Thero in the eyes. "you can have him, his selling price should be enough for your payment."
Thero looked at the creature below once more.
"I will need a closer look, but I will take him anyway, Elf or not" answered the Slave trader.
"You will have to find away yourself. I need to be ready for the migration." Commented the Lady as she went round the room packing her belongings.
*remove the Elf from the equation, there is nothing going on between them. An elf as a friend can be forgotten. I will have Aragorn, but that elf is in the way."
Lost in her thought she did not see Thero leave the room. He made his way toward the Courtyard and to find the rest of his men.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Legolas had finally gotten Arod to stay still for preparation and was stoking Brego's nose, he hand moved slowly over the chestnut hair.
"Aragorn will be out to get you ready soon." Said Legolas, just as he said this he sensed movement in the shadows. His ears picking up the sound of men breathing. A shadow detached it's self from the wall, walking towards the elf.
Legolas could see a tall man, widely built. Scruffy brown hair hung round his shoulders a sneer present on his lips.
"Hello there, fair one" said the man as he approached. "my name is Thero, and your name would be?"
"Legolas" answered the Elf simply, not missing the movement of the men around him.
"Well Legolas, nice to meet you, I was wondering is you and I could get to know each other better."
"I guess we could, once you call off your men from the shadows." Answered Legolas,
Thero was startled by the fact that his men had been spotted. The plan would have to go out of the window. With a nod of his head, all the men attacked Legolas at the same time.
Brego and Arod neighed and bucked up, Legolas was surrounded, the men advanced, Legolas caught the reins of Arod, quickly he span round and mounted Arod,
"Go!!!" shouted Legolas, kicking off the man that grabbed his leg. Arod bolted, Brego running after. The group of men followed running after the blond beauty.
Legolas dismounted Arod to run into the sleeping area of the castle to find Aragorn and Gimli.
*where are they?* Legolas's mind shouted when he found the room empty.
"That bloody elf came in here." Came the gruff voice of Thero was heard outside the door, Legolas looked around him
*what to do? What to do?*
His gaze followed the walls of the room, a flag pole, falling down, with his innate grace and agility he grabbed the flag pole and swung onto the roof beams. Just out of sight when the doors, opened.
"Well were is he then?." Asked one of the men.
"I don't see him" replied one of the others.
"Look for him then" shouted Thero
"Look for who?" asked came a familiar voice.
MORE SOON I PROMISE.
