A bitter silence followed when Gandalf told the sad news to the Fellowship. So the Elf had died. Even Gimli fell silent. He didn't hate the Elf at all. Why did he had to die?

Gandalf was the first who spoke up.

,,Does anybody has an idea what to do with his body? Bury it here?"

Aragorn, who had just awoken, didn't quite agree with this plan.

,,No Gandalf, that's one thing we just CAN'T do. Think about it. Legolas is an Elf. Elves don't belong in the Mines. If we want to give him a proper funeral, we'll have to take him with us to bury him outside, maybe in Lothlorien."

The rest of the Fellowship immediatly agreed with Aragorn, and Gandalf had no choice but to accept the fact that they were taking a corpse with them. It was quite a scary thought.

But they just pretended that Legolas wasn't dead, but unconcious. They perfectly knew that this wasn't true, but they at least dared to touch him. In turn, they carried him as they walked through Moria. Even Merry and Pippin couldn't bring smiles on the Fellowship's faces. The Fellowship had lost its angels' wings.

After quite some time, Gandalf stopped walking. He looked around.

,,I have no memory of this place."

The Fellowship decided to sit around, waiting for Gandalf to remember which way to go. If Legolas had still been with them, his Elven-ears would have heard the sounds of quick feet and foul voices. But since the Elf was not, nobody noticed.

Frodo felt like his heart was too small for all the sadness he felt. It was HIS fault that Legolas was gone. If he had only been more attentive, the Watcher couldn't have caught him off his guard. And then, Legolas wouldn't have sacrificed his life for him. They all would have been alive. . . That thought hurted him the most.

Frodo sighed, rose from his place, and slowly walked to Gandalf. Sitting next to the Wizard, he was blinded by his grief, too blind to notice the small creature who was just a short distance away from the Fellowship. Gollum.

Gollum had been following the grieving Fellowship for some time now. He was hungry, but his hunger for his Precious was more important to him. Besides, if he wanted food, he COULD go steal it from the Fellowship. He was mighty enough. . . He had something in his possession that the Fellowship wouldn't expect. A purple Pearl.

Gollum had found this shining, pretty Pearl, and kept it, as a cheap replacement for his Precious. After he got the Precious back, he wouldn't need it anymore. Gollum had observed the Fellowship for several days now. He had seen the dying Elf. He had seen the mysterious Powers of the Fellowship. And even his small, simple brain started to realise that this Powers had to do something with the beautiful, shiny Pearl he had found. Especially this words, said sevaral times, were mysterious. He would try to speak the words soon.

,,Ah! It's that way!" The Fellowship looked up from their places.

,,He remembers!" Merry cheered.

Gandalf looked over his shoulder to the Hobbit.

,,No Meriadoc. Fresh air comes from this way. When you've lost your path, always follow your nose!"

~ * ~

Gollum followed, too. And in his hand, a purple Pearl of Victory.

~Boo! That's it for today! Sorry for the short chapter! But I hope you'll like it anyway. No Power is revealed today, but isn't a new Pearl enough? I have no idea how Gollum got the Pearl or where he found it, but I'll think of something. So I don't want any reviews like this: 'How on earth can Gollum have a Pearl? That doesn't make any sense!' Indeed, it doesn't make any sense, but this is my story, and I'm not making any sense either. So there. Don't forget to read my new story: Freakin'Out! ALL REVIEW PLEASE!!!
