Chapter Two
Godric rode off and saw the elves, who the wizards also called the Veela, as no help. He rode off seeking help from the dying race of the Hobbits, when he reached Hobbitton, the hobbits shunned him as a threat to their way of life. Godric then went to visit the aging Gimli. Once he had found the location of the dwarf's home, Gimli walk out waving his cane, in a grumpy mood, shouting," Who's there, get out of my land, before I chop you down."
Godric chuckled at the old dwarf, and said," Still sour about Legolas, your old friend, I see."
Gimli replied harshly," Never test an elf's patience; never want to wait for anything."
This anger had developed many years when Frodo, Gandalf, and most of the elves had left for the Grey Havens. Gimli had stayed behind to take what was his in Moria. Legolas had promised that he would return for him in a month, but never did. Day after day, Gimli would walk to the docks, rain, sleet, sun, or rain. Every day for 50 years he waited to be rejoined with his friend. "Gimli, I'm sorry for Legolas did, but you must put the past behind, trouble is brewing, in Mordor, Sauron's son is planning to restart what his father was never able to do. The world will plunge into another Dark Age. You and Legolas were best friend......"
"And we still are." interrupted a voice behind a tree.
And then Legolas appeared. "L...L...Legolas, I've waited so long" stammered Gimli, on the verge of tears.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, old friend," Legolas started.
"Sorry is right" Gimli grunted
Continuing on Legolas said," The Elvish Council had to accept my proposal to visit Middle Earth again. Time and time again they refused, saying that I would get lost at sea and said that we, elves had no business in the matters of the humans. So one night I stole a ship and traveled many miles, to Middle Earth, to bring you to the Havens," then he turned to Godric and said," now you said something about a dark age coming upon us, Wizard"
"Preposterous, Sauron is dead, I saw Mordor fall, we all did. How is Sauron alive?" said Gimli, with slight confusion in his voice.
"I know that Sauron has been vanquished, but his son reigns." Godric explained, a bit annoyed at the Dwarf for not listening the first time.
"What must we do, then?" asked Legolas,"The elves will not fight this time."
"Then we must ask Gandalf, who lives at the top of Mount Alpus." Godric answered," The trip will take a couple of days, so pack up."
The next morning the little group set out, reaching the foot of the great mountain of Aldus. Mount Alpus was at the center of a group of mountains known as the Atdus Mountains. They rested for an hour before heading towards Mt. Alpus, but Salazar, sent his Dark Minions to destroy Godric. So on the slopes of Mount Aldus, they fought the Dementors, Legolas shooting arrows, but Gimli was on the ground, twitching involuntarily. Then a Dementor swooped down and removed its hood, revealing the bone like skull, with the flesh peeling off, and attempted to kiss Gimli, but then a silver wisp in the shape of a lion, rammed into the Dementor, toppling the Dementor over. Then the lion charged at another, while others ran around with arrows stuck everywhere on their bodies. Then all 13 Dementors, disappeared with a crack.
"Nice work of magic, wizard," congratulated Legolas.
"Nice work indeed" Gimli grunted," Saved me butt, that time, what do you call it?"
Godric replied," I don't know what to call it, I saw my worst memories, but then I thought of a happy memory, and shouted 'Expecto Patronum' and out of my wand came that lion."
Strangely as it was the group decided that it was best to continue. By nightfall they reached the base of Mt. Alpus. They decided to continue, because they were soo close to Gandalf's dwelling. When they reached the house, they knocked on the door and a light was lit inside the dark house. They heard a woman's voice yelling,"Gandalf, honey, GET THE DOOR!"
"I'm on my way dear, no need to yell." they heard Gandalf reply, and opened the door, "Why, hello Godric, I haven't seen you in ages, and Gimli and Legolas, why are you hear, I thought you went to the Grey Havens."
"So are we Gandalf, we saw you leave Frodo and the others" asked a puzzled Legolas.
Gandalf chuckled, and said,"What you saw was my twin brother Randalf, I've been hear in Middle Earth wandering to and fro. Come in out of the cold and I'll conjure some tea and crackers."
"Thank you,Grandfather," replied Godric stepping into the house.
The house had 5 rooms each one different in its own way, but the most elegant and most spacious room of all was Gandalf's room. While sitting at a small tea table they discussed the matters. "How many in your army,Godric?" asked Gandalf.
"Nearly 50,000, but the numbers decrease everyday because of Salazar's curse, damn him!" Godric said his voice rising.
"Calm down. True, strength is in numbers, but Salazar must force wizards to turn Dark. We must hope King Arathorn, is like his father, fighting for justice." Gandalf replied.
"But Salazar's army has 100,000 wizards and is growing by the day, he sends his army wherever he chooses, weapons are no match and Muggles, pardon my slang, are tortured and killed by the thousands. We must fight back." exclaimed Godric
Gandalf walked to the window and looked out into the darkness and said,"Look there, through the darknes and you will see a flame."
Godric looked and replied,"What's so special about that light."
Gandalf explained,"It was many years ago,when you were young and the Great War of the Kingdoms was entering it's 4th year. The armies of both Gondor and Rohan met here, if Gondor won Aragorn would have a clear path to Edoras, the capital of Rohan, but if Rohan one, the Army of Rohan would have a clear shot to Minas Tirith, and destroy the capital. Then when morning broke both armies ran down the slopes of Aldus and at Alpus they met, engagind in a bloody battle, the battle raged on and on for 5 days, in the end Gondor was victorious, but the victory came at a terrible price the beautiful slopes was dripping in blood, and the sight was horrible. Soon after the Battle of Aldus, Rohan surrendered and ended the war."
"Wow" was all Godric could say, looking into the darkness he could see the great armies charging at each other screaming different battles cries,the a clanging of weaponry and armor as the armies met. And the aftermath was more gruesome the green lush pastures stained with blood and corpses and the sound of the wounded moaning for help. Godric shuddered at this thought, could this new war be the same, how many would lose their lives, leaving wives as widows and children fatherless. How could he win? Salazar had the upperhand and could destroy him in one blow. The Muggles that were dying how many more would die. Gandlalf showed him to his room and Legolas and Gimli's room. Once they awoke they discussed a strategy, thanks to Godric's friend, Rowena Ravenclaw. "Salazar is weak in his right flank, and here"
She pionted out and sated where the battles of the Light Side were won, while Godric was away.The Light Army was losing to the Darkness, the Lights Stunning Spellls were no match against the new curses Salazar created, the Avada Kadavra curse or the Cruciatus Curse. "From now on we fight in the defensive position, Godric our army is not strong enough. We must not attack." Rowena said concerned.
"We will do what we must." Godric replied in sad tone.
Then there was knocking at the door, Legolas rushed to answer and returned, helping a severly wound man inside, and laid him on the nearest couch. "I call for Helga," Rowena said, and then disappearing with a "pop".
Gandalf rushed over and started to chant in old elvish. Godric asked,"Who or what did this to you?"
"Gondor has been taken.....Gondor is no more, we were attacked a week ago and the army fought bravely, b...b...but the army fell, Minas Tirith is in ruins, King Arathorn was tortured and burned, while Mordor's men chered loudly." the man gasped and a trickled of blood came out of his mouth and breathed no more.
Gimli was sobbing on Legola, who had tears in his eyes, Gandalf was in his chair looking hysteric, rocking back and forth saying, "This can not be" over and over again. Godric was flushed with anger ranting on and on about what could've been done. Then there was a sharp "crack" and Helga and Rowena appereared. Helga walk over to the deceased person and at the same time so did Gandalf. As the two reached the body Gandalf wore a face of surprise, "This is no ordinary soldier, this is the Aragorn's fourth son who chose the way's of the Elves." he said.
Godric rode off and saw the elves, who the wizards also called the Veela, as no help. He rode off seeking help from the dying race of the Hobbits, when he reached Hobbitton, the hobbits shunned him as a threat to their way of life. Godric then went to visit the aging Gimli.
