AN:

To all my reviewers, thank you very much . . . .im so sorry for the delay of the updates . . . wanted to write a few chapters in advance so that i would not be burdened with trying to quickly write another chapter because im all out of chapters to upload and so far i have already done up to chapter 19 and starting chapter 20, this means im about 4-5 chapters ahead.

I am very sad to say i would not be updating as much as when I started, as i told you when i started that this story is based on the movie and since the third part of the movie will be not be shown here in the philippines until early next year, i dont want to stop my story for about 2-3 months. So i decided that some parts of my story will be based on the book ( I only have the Two Towers . . . . ). Will try to make my chapters last until the movie is shown then i will just incorporate it to my story. . . if you had read the Two Towers book, my story will cover the whole book, for those who have not read it . . . . some of the events you will be reading had not been shown in the 2nd movie . . . this means some parts will become spoilers. . . i hope you all will understand why i dont update as much and as to why my story contains some spoilers or as to why i based some parts to the book. . . . .

For those who recently reviewed my story, i sent them a copy of the new chapter a day before i uploaded my chap in fanfiction . . . . a little thank you for reviewing . . . . . . . if you want to get the latest copy of the chap in your email before the others do then i suggest you review and dont forget to write your email add when you review, so i can immediately add your address to my email address book . . . thanks in advance .. . (wow! thats my longest A.N. ever.... =) . .. )

Chapter 15: Death of Boromir

Aragorn decide that when nightfall comes they would cross the river Anduin and head to Mordor through the Dead Marshes. For now, they should rest, the path they are about to take is a hard one. Sam, Merry and Pippen started making their meal while Aragorn and Gimli set-up camp. Legolas decided to scout the area for any danger and after informing Aragorn of his decision, he then left. Unknown to all Frodo decided to take a walk . . . . Boromir followed.

From the time the fellowship left Lothlorien, the call of the One Ring to Boromir had become stronger, now he heeds its call to get the ring form Frodo.

After discovering that two of their companions were missing, the rest of the fellowship started searching for them. In the mean time, Frodo had been running away from Boromir for he had attempted to get the ring. And when Aragorn found Frodo, Frodo was frightened that Aragorn too would try and take away the ring. But Frodo was wrong, for the king was stronger. . . he was able to resist the call of the One ring. Making a very hard decision, Aragorn gave his blessing that Frodo go to Mordor alone. Meanwhile, Boromir realized that he had made a mistake. He searched for Frodo to apologize when the Uru-kai's attacked. Merry and Pippen met Frodo was he was going back to camp, they were hiding from the Uru-kai and urged Frodo to join them. But Frodo refused and they saw in his eyes that he had something important to do. It was then they knew, that Frodo was to go on with the journey without them and they both understood him. So to give Frodo a chance to leave, they made themselves as distractions and lead the Uru-kai into a chase. Running away from the monsters led them to Boromir. A great battle rages as Boromir fought with vigor to protect Merry and Pippen as atonement for his previous actions toward Frodo. But no matter how well he fought in the end, he still lost his life and the two hobbits were taken. The last remaining members of the fellowship was at their greatest loss, Frodo and Sam had gone to Mordor without them for protection, Merry and Pippen had been captured and Boromir was dead. It had seemed that the fellowship had failed, but Aragorn told them that they should not think of that way, that it was up to them to continue on. So with heavy hearts, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli set out to free Merry and Pippen from their captors.

When Legolas left the camp to survey the area, Saeth followed him. But something told him to go to Frodo and so he did. It was he who helped Frodo escape Boromir. But when the Uru-kai's attacked he had to go back to Legolas. Even when Boromir, Merry and Pippen were in grave danger, he never left the princes side. For it was his promise. After the battle Saeth felt he had failed Lenae for he was not able to keep the fellowhip together, now he knows how she felt. Frodo and Sam were sure to face many hard trials and they need help but his primary concern was Legolas. Praying to the gods that they would sent another shadow to protect Sam and Frodo, he redied himself for a long journey . . . finding and retrieving Merry and Pippen.

Lenae was practicing with her bow when she missed her shot. Something was not right . . .never in her entire life had she missed her mark. She had to know what was wrong, so she did the only thing she could think of. Using some of her dark magic, she conjured up an orb, which then showed what had happened to the fellowship. As the scene of Boromir dying was being shown, the Eye of Sauron suddenly took its place.

' Well my young warrior . . . what do you think . . .this is just the beginning . . . come to me or worst will happen ' the Eye taunted her

' I said it once and I will say it again . . . . NEVER! ' she screamed

' So be it my warrior . . . the next person who will die will be dear to your heart . . . .hahahaha '

The Eye then disappeared and was replaced by the image of Saruman surveying the creation of the Uru-kai . . . . then the orb shattered into tiny pieces.

Lenae wanted to cry . . she was so confused . . . if she chose to go to Sauron, her loved ones will live but the entire middle earth would be in danger. But if she refused, a loved one will die but all of middle eath would live . . . looking back at her missed shot, she made a decision . . . she was a Shadow . . . . a race of elves born to protect Valinor . . . but she was not a true shadow . . . . never the less she became one because she wanted to protect Valinor . . . . but now, she had another purpose . . .to fight the Dark Lord and protect middle earth and its inhabitants. . . . she was a warrior . . . .and if defeating the Dark Lord meant losing loved ones, so be it. She knew that if Saeth or even Legolas was to face this problem, they too would choose to protect middle earth. So with new determination, Lenae began to practice again. She had to be at her best to be able to defeat the Dark Lord . . . . for the sake of middle earth and her loved ones.
