Chapter 8 Word from Gondor

Eight weeks later I was able to beat some of the weaker elves and speak a bit of elvish fluently.

It was after training when we were eating lunch and laughing.

Suddenly a elf rushed through the doors. His hair was messed up and he seemed out of breath.

"Gondor calls for aid." he said this in the common tongue and I almost didn't catch it.

I translated and a few of the elves rushed over to the tall windows.

Trin led me there and looked out worriedly. Jumping up and down I still couldn't see.

I hate being short!

Trin saw me and found a chair that I stood on. A soft flame was lit on a distant mountain.

All the elves were very worried and spoke of the army heading out.

A sudden fear of battle spiked through me. I hated fighting and the mere thought made me shudder.

Trin was very worried and went instantly to speak to Legolas.

I followed.

When we found him he already knew. He decided it was best that we went to help as soon as possible.

He wanted to get there before the battle.

We would leave the next day.



I went upstairs to pack and found my pipe.

I smiled and carefully wrapped it in a soft silk. I gathered up some other things, another tunic, my comb, and a small stone to sharpen my blade.

I laid down and hoped Merry would be there then fell asleep.

A/N– Yes I know a short chapter. The next one will be longer.

Reviews- I'm going to reply to all the reviews in this chapter but later it would only be one chapter at a time.

Ice Ember- I love reading stories when their friends too! But I hate slash *shudders*

Kawaii Elf Girl- Thanks! I've been making up this story for months now and have just started to write it down

Karri- Well, I didn't mean to make them mean. They're just suspicious. I mean with Bilbo causing trouble and the fact that Mirkwood is kinda evil. I wouldn't trust him either

szhismine- thanks!!

Ice Ember- I'll try to write fast!

Ice Ember- Haha!! I don't like Handir either but decided to give Pip a hard time.

Kit cloudkicker- Sorry about not making the paragraphs! I was really busy and had no time. I'll try to do that from now on!
