thank you Terminaisha for the review and sorry for the long wait but the more reviews I get the quicker
you will get the chapters!!!
"You lead this army?" Legolas couldn't get his thoughts in order. There were more elves in Middle
Earth, they fought with men and they were led by a female. "Forgive me my lady but it is uncommon
for a lady to be trained in battle and I have never heard of a lady leading an army," he paused giving her
a chance to reply.
She left her face expressionless and unreadable. But her eyes showed her thoughts. Legolas could see
the annoyance and displeasure in them from his statement. "My name is Kayya and I am no lady."
"What side do you take in this war?" Legolas was beginning to if all this was a dream. "We fight to
stay alive." Kayya as well as everyone else could plainly see the shock on his face. "There are others.
Other women and children. They are men and elves. Some were on their way to the ships. Not
everyone made it."
She was cut off by an elf who walked up to her and Legolas, "You claim that our families could be with
you and this army my lady."
"Kayya, and yes that could be," she turned back to Legolas, "I can take you there. You could join
with our army and see your families."
"How do we know you speak truth? You trust us so freely." Kayya understood he was trying to
protect the elves, but she was never one for patients. "You are an army of elves which leads me to
believe that you are not Rahzie or Slycan. You have done nothing to betray my trust. So what have
we done to betray yours?"
Legolas was not used to a lady talking so forward with him. But her statements were true, even when
he had two of them prisoner they had only spoken the truth. "We must leave now. Follow if you wish
but you can not hide in the middle of a wood for long."
She backed up as she spoke. The two armies separated as her men walked closer to her. "Akiai!" she
yelled into the woods. A few seconds later everyone could here the horse hoofs coming closer. All
eyes went to the magnificent horse trotting toward Kayya. The horses gigantic size was noticed
immediately. Kayya could barely see over the horses saddled back. The golden bronze color of the
horse was one he had never seen.
Kayya grabbed a hunk of the horses wavy, blond mane and threw herself into the saddle. The men
followed suit onto their own horses. Kayya looked down at Legolas once more. He looked into her
deep aqua eyes which stood out amid her fair complexion and dark hair.
He couldn't read the expression in them but he wanted to follow her. He wanted to see if there were
others hiding from the war.
Kayya smiled as if she knew his thoughts, before she gave the reigns a violent shake and galloped away
into the woods. An army behind her.
The elves that were left standing in the woods looked around at each other. No words were
exchanged as they gathered their weapons and got on their horses. With the number of elves lost in
battle there were enough horses for all.
In a matter of moments they were riding along side the others. Wondering how far and how long their
journey would take them. Legolas had ridden to the front of the group and had Kayya in his sights.
She was still galloping at the lead of the group. He watched as her black hair and blue cloak tossed in
the wind. Somehow she reminded him of someone.
"She does know you are here," a voice came interrupting Legolas as he thought. Legolas turned his
head to see the dark haired man the group had come to free galloping beside him. "She knew you
would follow."
Legolas looked at the man he had hated only hours ago, "Where is the camp we are trying to reach?"
"Hidden among the mountains. We should be there by sunset." Legolas knew how far the mountains
were and that the sun had only just risen.
Kayya slowed Akiai to a walk. The woods was almost at an end. Once the trees stopped there was a
few miles of open land before you reached the cover of the mountains. So she stopped Akiai and
jumped off the golden back onto the leafy ground.
The two armies separate again as her's knowing the reason for the stop jumped off there horses.
Kayya looked at the confused faces of the elves, "We shall rest here," was her simple statement.
Legolas walked up to Kayya who was tending to her horse. "Why do we stop here?"
She kept busy brushing her horse as she answered, "The horses and men can rest here while I see if
our passage through the open ground is safe."
An elf of Kayya's army who had overheard walked up to her, "Kayya, you should rest now I could see
if these lands are safe." She smiled at the elf, "I need not the rest. I can easily go unnoticed. I will go.
Will you watch Akiai while I am gone?"
"I would be proud to," he walked away leading the horse to follow him.
It was Legolas who started to ask questions next, "Why would our passage not be safe?"
Without the horse to distract her she looked him in the eye, "The open have become a danger. They
are now Slycan territory. I will go see if they stand in our way before I lead anyone into their hands."
"Why not take your horse?"
"I try to go unnoticed."
"I will go with you," Kayya wanted to protest but she could do this herself but if he wanted to protect
his own people there was no reason why he shouldn't go. "Fine," she said as she started to walk off.
Legolas was quick to follow. "Are you-?" he trailed off. His question was answered as she put her
hair behind her ear-her pointed ear. "Is it really true? There are others who have survived this war."
"It is. We have a place for ourselves in the mountains. And there are people of all kinds not just
humans and elves."
"There are people in the mountains but yet you come here."
"There are some who can fight that remain at the mountains to protect those who can not. And my
people were captured I will not leave anyone behind."
Legolas now understood how she had come to lead. She cared about all of the people and would do
anything in her power to keep harm come to them. He could tell that the men she had brought here
held her in their highest respects and would do the same for her.
"It isn't to far now master elf."
"My name is Legolas Greenleaf."
"Well, Legolas it doesn't seem that we are in danger." He could see nothing but grass covered land all
the way to the vast mountains.
"We-," he stopped abruptly. There was something or someone out there he heard it. "Did you hear
that?" His hand went to his bow and Kayya's went under her cloak to her daggers.
"Hear what?" Legolas looked at her. How could she not hear it? He had his bow drawn and both of
her hands had daggers in them. He hoped that she knew how to use them.
Kayya looked around in search in search of danger. Legolas heard it again. His head snapped in the
direction of them. He saw the men, their black cloaks revealed to Legolas who they were,
"SLYCANS!" he yelled.
He fired an arrow in there direction. He could fight them. He was outnumbered but they were in a
group not an army.
The arrow split the air as it traveled a path to the man's heart. His body dropped to the ground alerting
the rest of danger. They unsheathed their swords and ran to attack. Legolas shot arrows furiously with
each arrow a man fell.
Once they were close the Slycans raised their swords to strike. With lightning speed Kayya threw a
dagger. It whirled around in the air before it stole one of the men's lives. She pulled it from the man's
body dark blood dripped from the blade spoiling the perfect green of the grass.
Her arms flew above her head the daggers she held crossed as a Slycan sword crashed down on them.
Before the man could react they sliced through his insides. He hit the ground just as his comrad
suffered the same fate. Three men lifted there swords at the same time to take down Kayya. She
deftly twirled the dagger in her right hand and threw it eliminating one of the men. Her left arm swiftly
spun around and another man caught a dagger in the face and another in the chest.
Another came up behind her and she unhesitatingly planted the dagger in his side. The last Slycan had
fallen. She turned to see Legolas who was staring at her in awe. The whole fight she had been nothing
but a blur. He had never seen such speed. She pulled the blood drenched dagger out of the man and
sheathed it.
"Is it now safe Legolas?"
"I neither hear nor see any other dangers. I don't believe the Slycans will look for these men yet now is
our best chance."
"Good. We must move quickly then," she walked back into the woods calmly as if the fight had never
taken place. Legolas was surprised as well as impressed by what the lady elf could do.
Only a few footsteps were to be had before Kayya stopped, "Something is not right."
