Aragorn looked out over Gondor. These raiders were becoming a serious problem; his men were dying left and right. The castle was lonely with out his wife and children. Gimli, Merry, Pippin and Sam did the best they could. Liz, Morgan and Alana wondered if Aragorn was going to send them to Lorien too. They could all fight and his years as King had caused him to forget that at time. Although hey doubted whether they could take on this Amara. If Kayla could not stand against her that who could? She went around calling herself the heir to the Throne. The people were scared, the kings army was dwindling and everyday the enemy tried to lure Aragorn out of the city.
"How are we going to defend the city?" Alana asked.
"Just like we did last time, only this time it's not orcs." Morgan replied. They had been separated during the war of the Ring. After Morgan had freed Merry and Pippin from the orcs and met up with treebeard in Fangorn forest she was reunited with Liz and Alana who scolded her for running off. In the mean time they all worried about Kayla who took up the hardest job of all, protection of the ring bearer.
Faith had traveled ahead to Gondor with Gandalf and Pippin, Morgan roe with Theoden and his army, Liz stayed with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, and everyday Kayla grew more and more exhausted on their way to mount Doom.
But that was then. Things were vastly different then. Things were impossible then, a small army of men would be no problem, or so they all thought.
Liz, Morgan and Alana were sitting with the hobbits laughing about old times when Aragorn came in. "Get you things together my friends." He said to the hobbits.
"Why?' Merry asked.
"I can not ask you to fight for me." Aragorn replied. "I am sending you back to the shire."
"You are not asking us to fight for you," Sam spoke up, "we are glad to do it."
Aragorn, "You are true, and loyal and brave," He said to them, "All he more reason for me to send you away. Liz, Morgan and Alana, ride with them then double back to Lorien. Arwen, Kayla and the children are there."
"But Aragorn!" Liz started to protest.
"These are my orders, I love all of you girls like daughters, Kayla was sent away fro her own good, and so for the same reasons I am sending you to where you will be safe too." ~*~
'I hate it when he gets all kingly." Morgan grumbled. "I like Strider so much better."
The hobbits laughed as they all rode to the Shire. "Where are you six going?' Someone asked behind them.
"Sit ready." Liz whispered.
They turned, seeing a woman, she was tall and so beautiful she could pass for an elf. Her hair was dark and her eyes a light blue.
"We are taking these half lings back to their homeland." Liz replied taking charge of the situation.
"You hail from Minas Tirith, do you not?"
"We will not be inclined to answer any more questions until we know who you are." Alana spoke up.
"Forgive me, but I bit you to ride back to your King and give him news." She replied. "I am Amrara, leader of the Raiders, I bid him to send word to his elven army, they must go back now if they are to prevent the casualities of war that will befall they land." She replied and rode away.
"Shit!" Liz exclaimed.
"What's the matter?" Pippin asked. Liz broke into a gallop forcing him to grab on quickly. She knows where the Lady Arwen and Kayla are and now there are not enough guards there to protect them. They are going to over run Lorien!'
"Oh." Pippin replied.
"Morgan ride for Lorien, Stop Haldir and Legolas, we will continue on to Minas Tirith and warn Aragorn." Liz instructed. Morgan turned quickly and Merry almost fell from his seat. "Hold on hobbit." She instructed and he did, for dear life."
She galloped all the way, after a day two days she founf them. "Legolas! Haldir!' She yelled.
Legolas and Haldir looked at each other. She rode up to them. "You must turn back!"
"What's wrong?"
"Legolas they must have followed you to Lorien. They were waiting to draw the guards of Lorien away from the city. They mean to Take Lorien by force!"
~*~
Kayla stood in an open window. She noticed some movement in the woods far off. "What is wrong?' Tariel asked.
"Something evil comes towards Lorien. I can feel it." Kayla replied.
"Are we not safe here mother?"
"Not now, less that half of Lorien's guards are left after the army." She replied. "Tariel, you are old enough to know that we are in serious danger."
Arwen burst in. "Do you sense it?' She asked.
"Yes." Kayla replied. "Amara's men mean to enter the city of Lorien."
Suddenly there was a commotion outside. They had broken through the front lines. Kayla grabbed her bow and sword. [Stay up here with them] She said to Arwen who nodded and locked the door behind her.
Kayla swiftly ran down to join the fighting. She nearly collided with Oren, Haldir's second in command. "How many are there?" She asked.
"We are not sure. But we can not hold them back." He explained. "Are you sure you should be fighting."
"If I must die, I will die fighting, not in some bed like a feeble old fool!" she exclaimed.
"Very well, there is one thing that I have not mentioned to you yet."
"What is it?" She asked noting the seriousness of his tone.
"The Lady is gone, disappeared in the night."
"What!" Kayla replied pulling her bow sending arrow after arrow, killing all that crossed her path, firing two or three at a time in some instances.
Soon it was her and four or five elven soldier's left. They were surrounded. Kayla pulled her sword and was determined to at least get back to her daughter and friend. She began the tedious and desperate task of hacking away at any and all men that stood in he rway. They chased her. She noted that she no longe rheard the sounds of battle from the others. She was all that stood between then and the Lady Arwen. She lost them for a brief point and ran to the chamber where what hid. "Barricade the door!" She instrucked when she was safey inside. There was no sound that came form outside. Kayla peered at the window. "Mother here!' Tariel tossed Kayla her quiver; she had noticed that Kayla had run out of arrows. "It seems as though they are leaving." Kayla replied.
They began to breathe a sigh of relief but that relief did not last long. "Do you smell that?" Tauros asked.
There was foul stanch in the air. "The city, it burns!" Arwen replied pointing out the window. Sure enough there was an orange glow coming from the outskirts of the city.
"So she means to burn us alive!" Kayla replied fire was over taking the city and all the woodland surrounding it. The kids looked at each other. For the first time in years she felt as though things were hopeless. It was her fate to die here, knowing that she did her best to defend her child and friends. She did not let hem see the stray tear the fell from her eyes. She looked out the window; She could see nothing but an orange glow and ash. It would not be long before the fire reached them.
A/N: Hmmm are you curious? I know sacrilegious, to burn Lorien to the ground, but I warned you!
