Chapter 9
Orthanc
Litavia changed back into her proper clothes, carefully folding her dress and placing it back in its tree bark packaging. She also put the twinkling tiara in, folding it carefully into the folds of the dress. She tied her hair once more and then left, her sword strapped to her side and her bow and quiver slung over her shoulder.
"Veriann, my faithful friend," she said as the horse made its way over to her. She patted it softly, smiling as the horse nudged her wanting more adventure.
"Litavia!" a voice called from the entrance way. It was Eowyn; she hurried over her eyes wide with excitement.
"Yes Lady Eowyn?" asked Litavia, watching the White Lady of Rohan as she stopped before.
"Might I come with you? I fear I shall not be of any help to this cause if I return to Edoras," she said holding her hands before her.
"I cannot allow you to do such a thing Lady Eowyn, your people are in need of you, as is your Uncle, Théoden-King," Litavia replied quietly. "This quest I begin now I must do alone, for it is my duty and destiny to help the ring bearer." Eowyn looked angry at these words.
"I fear neither death nor pain and I wish to help overthrow the ring of Sauron, why must act like nothing more than a servant to those that war with him when I too can fight?" she demanded.
"For the shield maidens of Rohan are the bravest of them all, but you must stay to protect the Golden hall of Meduseld. This you can fight to protect," Litavia replied, still softly. She mounted Veriann, who reared and they both disappeared into the night.
It took only several weeks for Litavia to arrive at the hill over looking Fangorn Forest, to the West she could see smoke rising far into the sky. Veriann snorted angrily.
"Yes Veriann, Isengard is indeed dark this day," Litavia said pulling her hood over her head before she urged Veriann down the hill. They approached the West of the large forest to find many a tree cut and destroyed. She looked to see the cut trees led to Orthanc tower. Ents stood pounding on the black tower where Litavia could see Sarumon looking out of the window in fear with his apprentice Grima Wormtongue.
"Litavia!" exclaimed Treebeard from the wall as she approached. He noticed immediately she seemed different, but said nothing.
"What has happened?" Litavia asked dismounting. She looked on as Mogumber threw a large boulder at the base of the tower.
"Sarumon has destroyed our friends, we have taken to war and defeated his horrible Orcs," Treebeard replied. Litavia nodded and then noticed to small Hobbits within his limbs.
"Merry and Pippin if I am not mistaken," she said jumping into his branches with ease. They looked her up and down uneasily.
"Little Hobbits, this is my orphan daughter, Litavia.I have told them much of your journey," Treebeard said. Litavia took down her hood and smiled at the small Hobbits.
"I have met your friends, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee approach Mordor as we speak, Master Gimli, Lord Legolas and Lord Aragorn are at Helm's Deep and should soon be here to greet you," she explained as the Ents roared loudly around them, Treebeard was making his way towards the tower.
"And what of Gandalf the Grey?" Pippin asked.
"Master Gandalf the White is very well and shall also be here within a few short weeks. They must first return to Edoras and reform before here and then Gondor to Imladris," she replied sitting in her favourite bough.
"I have heard you too battle Litavia?" Treebeard spoke up as he stopped in front of the tower doors.
"Yes and another victory we have taken. I also have received news of other events," she replied jumping from his branches.
"And what might that be?" he asked in interest, the two Hobbits also climbing from Treebeard's branches.
"The Chosen Princess of Sheann lives," she replied. Treebeard looked shocked and then nodded, smiling.
"So Gandalf was right, I never doubted his word once," he said happily. He bowed low, his branches touching the floor. He then stood and shouted something in old Entish, which took quite sometime. The Hobbits looked at each other and then were surprised when the other Ents cheered loudly and then dropped to a knee.
"What is going on?" Merry asked in surprise. He looked up at Litavia who was smiling proudly.
"I present to you little Hobbits, the last Sheann Elf and Princess, chosen to defeat Sauron and his ring of Power," Treebeard announced. Litavia smiled warmly and then a bright light shone, covering her whole body and making the two Hobbits look away from the light. It soon faded and they turned to look at her once more.
"Oh my goodness," said Pippin. Litavia was now wearing the red dress and tiara, looking up at the window that Sarumon was looking down from in fear. Litavia looked back down at them.
"My name is Scoriae, I am the last of the Sheann elves," she said, her voice slightly echoing. "Well done young Hobbits, you have done what I could not; lead the Ents to war with Sauron." With that she walked to the great door of Orthanc tower.
"Scoriae, you should not enter without an escort or weapon," Treebeard exclaimed. He had no longer stepped forward when another flash of light left her two swords in her hands. "Pippin and Merry, you must go with her." They nodded and hurried after her.
"Your majesty, please wait for us!" Merry hissed approaching her from behind. She did not stop or turn around, her eyes watching the several entrances to the corridor. She looked along the corridor and then ducked as a flash of light appeared at the other end, pulling the two hobbits down with her. A powerful wind swept over their heads, Scoriae protecting them with her cloak.
"What was that?" Pippin asked standing up. Scoriae also stood and looked to a dark door at the far end.
"It seems I'd better not disturb the White Wizard. Come, we should be celebrating with the rest of the Tree herders," she said walking back out, although her eyes still dwelled on what was behind her. Once outside she transformed back to Litavia and chatted non stop with Treebeard, and was almost trampled by Mogumber who still hadn't forgiven her for the many times she'd stolen fruit from his branches.
She stayed there for at least a week with them, that was how long it took Aragorn and the others to get there to see for themselves what had happened.
"Litavia, what happened?" Gandalf asked when she approached them at the edge of the forest.
"The Ents have battled victoriously, Isengard has been badly damaged," Litavia said proudly. They followed her into Isengard and stood before the tower to talk to Treebeard. Merry and Pippin also stood before the group from Rohan, smiling like Cheshire cats. They were so happy to see the rest of the fellowship.
Pippin was suddenly distracted by something in the water that now flooded across Isengard. It shone so magnificently, it captured him like a net catches fish. He reached into the murky water and picked it up. It was a glowing orb, it shone black and orange.
No one noticed this except Litavia and Gandalf who both gasped and exclaimed in shock.
"Pippin, give that to me," Gandalf said urgently, making everyone turn to the hobbit. Pippin looked up and felt slightly protective of the shining orb, that is until Litavia grabbed it from him.
"This is what I need," she said to Gandalf, her voice switching to Scoriae's and handed it to him quickly. Gandalf nodded and wrapped it carefully in his cloak.
"Sarumon will stay locked in the tower under your guard Treebeard," Gandalf said and the group headed back for Edoras. Litavia saying goodbye to Treebeard, unsure if it would be her last goodbye.
So, I do have people who luv me out there? Luv Krayon
