Nenda Guardian
Chapter 3
Soaking searches
^^^^^
He knew he still had Carnesîr held tightly in his arms as they finally came up for air but were quickly forced back under. Once more his head was above water and he opened his eyes, everything was blurry with water but he could just faintly make out a large shape in the middle of the river. Again they were forced under and Legolas kicked as hard as he could to turn himself so Carnesîr would not be hurt anymore than he already was. Legolas knew what that shape had been…a rock, a very large rock and any moment now he would hit it. There was the ever present roar of the water and then…bam! He hit the rock full force in the back, he cried out only to swallow a mouthful of water. It only took a few spinning moments before he passed out and loosened his hold on Carnesîr.
^^^^^
The twins and Estel couldn't believe just how much water was and just how fast it was moving.
"Thranduil was right, Legolas and Carnesîr could have been taken as far as Mordor! We'd better hurry!" Elladan called over his shoulder. The other two nodded and started tracking down the river, they each strained their eyes trying to see any sign of their friend. With the next flash of lightening Elladan was the first to cry out that he had found something. Elrohir and Estel's heads shot up hearing his cry, within seconds they were by his side looking for whatever their brother had found. Finally Elladan had to point out what he had found, it was a large piece of Legolas's cloak. The only way he knew that it belonged to Legolas was because of the initials sewn into the corner, L.T. it was a bit sloppy so they knew Legolas had sewn it. It was only by luck that they had found it, and that corner telling them that Legolas had been swept by here.
"Come! We must hurry, this is at least 10 miles from where the dam was and the water is moving fast!" Estel yelled. The twins nodded and they jumped up once again following the river. The rain continued to pour down on them. It seemed as if it was never going to let up.

Legolas groaned as he opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was cold…so very cold. It was something new since he had never really felt the cold before. He shivered and finally forced his eyes open. Everything was dark, slowly he brought a hand up and wiped his eyes, it was all still so blurry. "Mud…" He thought. Suddenly a new thought came to him and he sat up quickly crying out as pain shot through his arm. He fell back into the mud breathing heavily, but only one thought ran through his mind.
"Carnesîr…" He whispered before sinking back into oblivion.
A/N: Sorry guys, still not much Legolas. And short but…But do not fret! I swear on my honor as a writer that the next chapter is totally about him & Carnesîr. Plus it will be longer! -Naur
TBC…
Next chapter: Nenda graves (Watery graves)
