Part 54
Aragorn slew the beast he had been fighting for quite some time now and sighed with satisfaction as it fell dead at his feet. Now he had to find Legolas.
A few pairs of Uruk Hai and Men or Elves still fought around him but the battle had died down here,really. It still went on at a high intensity outside and perhaps on the next few floors.
" Legolas ", the ranger called. " Legolas, where are you?"
He ran up and down the room,calling all around him and up the stairs. Perhaps he was still outside?
" You're looking for the Elf,aren't you? " came a coarse,foul voice. A dying Uruk Hai lay propped up on a pile of bodies, a wicked grin on his face. Aragorn scrambled over to him and took him forcefully, with both hands, by the collar of its clothing.
" Where is he, slime? " the man inquired with a threatening tone.
The Orc only cackled wickedly. " And why would I tell you?"
" If you do not,I will make these last few moments of your life unpleasantly unforgettable ", Aragorn hissed.
The Orc showed no sigh of relenting and only laughed again.
" That arrogant,prissy, Elf brat will get what he deserves ", it said to the man with a new tone of hatred and malice. It was well known that Orcs and Uruk Hai alike loathed Elves with a deep fierceness,for they once were Elven beings before being so cruelly and unthinkably mutilated.Aragorn pitied them to some degree in the kind part of his heart,for he knew many Elves and loved them all deeply. No creature that walked the earth, especially an Elf, deserved the torment Orcs had endured to become the way they were. Aragorn said a silent prayer to the Valar,to Elbereth,to whatever higher power there might be, to have mercy upon those captured and tortured Elves and grant them the relief of death.
But for now, the one he had in his grasp was dying and had yet to tell him where Legolas was.
" I ask you again, creature.Tell me where he is before I lose my patience."
The Uruk Hai looked up at him menacingly and was silent for a brief moment.
" The prince of Mirkwood shall burn in this life as well as in heck ", it spat. And the Orc passed on into the next life.
Aragorn let him go and stood,trying to figure out what he had meant. And then the roar and hiss of a flame lighting filled his ears. He looked up ahead of him and saw a large door now blocked by fire. A large lock sealed it off on chains wrapped around the door handles.
