Note:
quidditch-playa-lover = thanks for another review. Legolas is a very head strong person, if he sets his mind on something he will surely try to find means to do it. That's why he never listens. . . . hehehhe
Chapter 6: Caradhras
It was about noon when the fellowship has a break. Sam and Frodo were cooking lunch. While Merry and Pippen were being thought by Boromir on sword handling. Aragorn was keeping an eye on them. And for Gimli, he was talking about the mines to Legolas and Gandalf. When suddenly Legolas sprang to his feet.
' What is that coming towards us? ' he asked
' Just clouds! ' retorted Gimli
' But they are moving against the wind ' said Legolas
By then everyone's attention was focused to the black massive form approaching the camp.
' Crebrain! ' shouted Aragorn " Everyone hide! ' he added
As everyone frantically started keeping their things, a lone unforeseen member of the group stood still.
' They will not finish cleaning and hiding themselves before the birds arrive ' thought Lenae ' I need to buy them some time! '
' Yala onna en vilya ' she said
@@@@@@
A spell . . . Gandalf felt someone using magic, a strong one at that. It was an elven spell . . . . . yes! He could feel it . . . . a spell to summon air elements. That's when he realized that Lenae used a spell to create a draft to slow down the birds. She was giving them time.
The fellowship was fortunate enough to hide everything and everyone including Bill before the birds arrive. Gandalf knew that without Lenae's help they would have been discovered, he wanted to thank her but now was not the proper time. More important matters was to be discussed and decided. . . . Which way should they take?
@@@@@@
They were on their way to the top of Caradhras, Legolas being an elf had no problems walking on the snow. But the hobbits and dwarf were having great difficulty. Gandalf and Boromir was ahead making a path for them to walk while Aragorn was at the rear.
Looking at the hobbits and dwarf, Lenae felt sorry for them.
' What is happening to me? ' she asked herself 'Why am I feeling sorry for them? I should not be feeling this way ' she added
Sure shadows experience the same emotions as other elves do. They can also be like other elves that can control their emotions and not show it to other people. But Lenae was something else, her emotions were always hidden in the depths and darkness of her heart making it cold as ice. That is the reason why there is always a chill whenever she spoke. Thus, she was so used to feeling numb and emotionless that feeling any emotion was foreign to her.
Her thoughts were brought back to her surroundings when Frodo toppled over. Accidentally the ring, which he had been wearing around his neck, fell off.
Lenae could hear the ring calling out to her. She could hear it clearly. She first heard its call at the council, it called out to her because she is of the dark. But Lenae, never headed its call, for she was in control. But Boromir unfortunately was not, he was slowly being corrupted by the ring. And it was he who happened to pick up the ring.
Aragorn told Boromir to give the ring to Frodo, his hand on his sword. Lenae too was ready to snatch the ring from Boromir if he refuses to give it. She knew that if she did it, she would be discovered but it was worth the risk. But with lick, Boromir gave the ring back. And with that, the fellowship started climbing the mountain again.
@@@@@@
Nearing the top, the weather changed drastically. From being calm, now strong winds blew, and the snow was falling heavily. Everyone was now having great difficulty walking, everyone except Legolas who now lead the group.
Something was not right, Lenae could feel it. The change was caused by sorcery, a powerful wizard could do such a thing. It was then that Legolas shouted
' There is a foul voice in the air! '
' Saruman! ' yelled Gandalf
He tried countering the spell but he was of no match. Lenae then decided to help
' Lietna guldur ' (dispel magic) she shouted out. But the spell did not work. The storm got fiercer and lightning began to strike. When suddenly a lightning struck the ridge over head causing an avalanche of snow and rock.
' Tinechor ' (shield) muttered Lenae
@@@@@@
White . . . . . . . everything was white . . . . . . . throbbing her head was throbbing . . . . . . Legolas! . . . .she had to save Legolas. . . . . it was her duty to watch over him.
@@@@@@
It was Legolas who was first to emerge from the snow, they were lucky for only snow fell upon them. He surveyed the scene. Rocks were around them, it fell with the snow but by some miracle no stone fell on them. Legolas wondered to what miracle had done this. But he did not spend his time trying to analyze the situation, he had to help the others out of the snow.
@@@@@@
As they were making their way down the mountain, the fierceness of Caradhras seem to stop. Everyone felt relieved it did but not Gandalf. Someone was stopping the mountain. A spell was used to protect them from the wrath of Caradhras, yet the spell was slowly getting weaker. Something or better yet someone was not right. He will have to ask Lenae about it later. Continuing down, something caught Gandalf's eye, but suddenly it disappeared.. . . . then, there it was again and once again it disappears. Watching it closer he noticed that it was red droplets, a second or two after it touches the ground it disappears. It was a steady drip of big red droplets . . . . . blood! . . .Lenae was injured! This worried Gandalf, he was worried that Lenae was injured and he was also worried that the fellowship might notice the blood and Lenae would be discovered. Looking around he tried to see if any of the fellowship had discovered the trail of blood following them, he found out that all seemed to be occupied in hurrying down the mountain. Gandalf was glad that no one noticed it. . . . . or so he thought.
@@@@@@
Blood . . . . he could smell it . . . a very faint smell . . . but it was there, being a ranger for many years had heightened his senses.
' Someone is hurt but who? ' Aragorn asked himself
Looking at his companions he tried to check if anyone was showing signs of injury, but he found none.
' I know that someone is injured, but who? That I cannot tell. Whoever he is, he really knows how to hide it ' he mused
@@@@@@
' With everything around so white how come nobody noticed the blood? ' thought Legolas.
He had been watching the steady drip of blood unto the snow, but somehow it disappears, leaving no trace at all.
' Someone is hurt . . . . badly hurt . . . .with the rate the blood is dripping that person would likely die of blood loss. But who is injured? Everyone seems fine! Who can it be? ' he asked himself.
@@@@@@
' I have got to heal myself, but first we must get down from here. We have to go faster, I cannot hold on to this spell any longer. . . . . have to tell Gandalf . . . . No! . . . . I cannot tell him for he might see my wounds . . . . just a little longer. . . . hold on . . .They are all safe . . . . yes! That's what matters most . . . I am bleeding . . . . its dripping! . . . I hope no one sees it. I am lucky our blood disappears after it touches the round. It helps us not to be easily tracked even though we are injured . . . . Tired . . . . I never felt tired before . . . . maybe this injury is worse than I thought . . . No! I wont let it beat me! . . . It is my duty to make sure the prince returns home to Mirkwood and I intend to do it . . . ' These were the thoughts that filled Lenae' s mind as she slowly made her way down the mountain.
