Chapter Two: For Old Times Sake

Under The Mountain, King Gimli's Residence

A cry of alarm spread about the Mountain, they were under attack. As Gimli got up to survey the area, a hail-storm of arrows flew over the wall.

"Give them a volley back," A Dwarf Captain shouted over the noise," Sire, a group of Dark Elves have come out from no where,I am not sure we will be able to carry on."

"Do not worry," Gimli yelled back, "I shall ask the Birds to send word to Legolas". With that he ran off to the highest peak at the top of the Mountain where the Bird Lord lives. (AN:See The Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien).

"Bird Lord, you must send a message to Legolas, tell him to make haste and prepare to comfront these Elves," Gimli ordered.

" Yes my lord," the Bird said in a dull tone. He took of into the night sky. Gimli made his way to the armoury, he intended to fight for his home lands. He took down his famous axe and put on a guilt of Mithril-Armour. As he turned around to rush to the Main Doors, a figure caught his eye.

"GOIN!" Gimli shouted," WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

"I am preparing to fight," Goin said in retaliation," If you can I can."

"But you are not old enough, you have no experience." Gimli mumbled, close to tears.

"I seem to recall a Dwarf once upon a time that went to fight in Helms Deep and the very last battle for Middle-Earth, I am not much older than that particular Dwarf when he went to fight am I?" Goin said rhetorically.

"You are right, I was not much older than you," Gimli whispered," Together we shall vanquish these Elves."

Side by Side, Gimli and Goin ran out to the Main Doors. Gimli immediately sank his axe into the stomach of an approaching Elf. Goin was not so lucky, he got scratched straight away and was taken away to the infirmary. Gimli knew none of this and kept on fighting.

The Town of Dale, King Legolas.

"Sire, King Gimli has a mesage for you." An Elf said. Legolas immediately got up and followed the Elf to where the Bird had landed.

"Legolas, make haste, Gimli is under seige by Dark Elves of the North," the Bird said and flew back to the Mountain.

"Captain, ready our troops," Legolas commanded," We leave in a hour." Legolas went to find Lyvita.

"Lyvita, you must stay here with some my best men, we are going to help Gimli," He said.

"Fine," She said.

A hour later Legolas's troops were ready to leave. They marched as quick as they could and reached the Mountain in under a hour.

"Ready your bows," He whispered to the Captain. The order went among the men and silently 2,500 bows were fitted with an arrow.

"3,2,1 FIRE!" Legolas shouted. The arrows whistled out of the trees and into the heart of the Dark Elves camp.

"CHARGE!" Legolas shouted. The Elves ran out of the trees, much to the surprise of the Dwarves. Legolas spooted Gimli struggling with a particulary large Elf. Legolas snekaed up to him and slashed out his back. The Elf sank to his knees, dead.

"Thank you my friend," Gimli said," You have alot to kill, I am already on 39!"

"For old times sake eh Gimli?" Legolas inquired.

"No, revenge for Helms Deep!" Gimli growled and sprang back into the action. Legolas laughed and followed him into the thick mass of people. After what seemed like days, a cry of Retreat went among the Dark Elves and they ran for the Hills (literally!).

"What is you score Legolas?" Gimli asked.

"I got 120," Legolas said throwing out his chest in mock pride," I know you beat me."

"Aye, I managed to get 155," Gimli agreed. When everyone was back into the Mountain, Legolas sent an Elf to get the rest of the Elves. They appeared in half an hour, looking a bit white with all the dead bodies outside the Doors. Lyvita immediately looked for Goin but she could only see the Dwarfs she already knew. She followed the Dwarf that would take her to her room, thanked him and walked to the window and looked out.

"So you are Lyvita," A voice said. Out of the wardrobe walked a scruffy young Dwarf. Lyvita was struck with love at the sight of him. " I am Goin". Lyvita was overcome, she could see the resemblence with Gimli but he looked to ragged to be a Prince. She started to walk slowly towards him. He done the same. Their lips got closer together and .........

Sorry for the cliffhanger, makes everyone want to read on. Remeber to R&R and here is a short extract from another Lord Of The Rings story I am hoping to do. Even if I do say so myself, I think I'm quite good at this. I am new and already I'm on story 4!

Here is my extract, it's about the battle of Helms Deep, but through the eyes of a normal soldier, Yeove.

Change Of View

Yeove was frightened to death. As he looked over the battlements, he saw the most scary sight ever. About 50,000 Urak-Hai were standing, banging their pikes against the ground. It was times like this that Yeove wished he hadn't gone to offer his service to the army. He locked an arrow as the order went out and heard the master shooter, Legolas yell," The armour is weak under the arms, and below the head." He let his arrow go, BULLSEYE! He took down his very first Urak-Hai and he liked every moment of it. He locked another arrow and took aim.
