Chapter Three
When the shock had disappeared from all the faces of the people present. Gandalf's wife, Gaia, his sweet and loving wife, the couple had been married for 200 years and counting, came in with a trayful of cakes and sweets, and mugs of beer. "Now, now, these times don't need mourning, come eat and drink." she said placing the tray on the dining table.
At that very moment a streaming red light shot at Rowena, who became stiff and fell onto the ground. "A stunning spell, get down, we're under attack." Gandalf shouted.
Right then the Dementors crashed through the windows and stated shooting their Stunning spells every where, Helga was running everywhere muttering "enervate".
Reviving stunned victims and Godric was protected by his Patronus. Gimli was crouching in the corner, but this time he swinging his axe everywhere destroying everything in sight, on the off chance that he hit one of the 13 they would flung out the windows only to glide back in. Finally after Gandalf banished most of them , the 13 left. Then the friends all looked out of the window and saw millions of elves appearing over the mountains surrounding Alpus, the elves gave one cry, "For Gondor, for the line of Elessar, and for justice".
The elves led by Elrond, chief of the Council of Elves in the Grey Havens. He shouted, "For my son, and my daughter."
Godric could not help but smile, and he heard Gimli and Legolas laughing and shouting with glee. Godric knew his army had come. Elrond and Celeborn, the Elvish strategist, spoke with Godric and Rowena, for a strategy in the up coming battle for middle earth, the Light Army would force Mordor's forces back into Mordor and fight once more for Middle Earth. And so the Great War of Wizards began, Godric and Elrond took their men to Helms Deep as their Headquarters, Gandalf and his new wizarding council knew that Helms Deep was vulnerable to the enemies Reducing Spells, so with his council set a magic barrier on the walls of Helms Deep. Godric tested the barrier only to have his spell bounce back at him, he ducked in time and wasn't hit, but a tree was blown to bits. Gandalf was appointed unanimously as the First Minister of Magic, and the other wizards in his council formed the First Ministry of Magic. Salazar angered that his enemy had moved so close to his land attacked Helms Deep, the Elves waited for the first attack, strangely enough the Dark wizards, cloaked in dark hooded robes, just stood there, the small Light Wizard Army, stood wands at the ready. Then at the orders of Godric the elves fired their arrows first, each arrow glowing with a light, green for earth, red for fire, blue for water, and yellow for wind. This Elemental magic was created by the Elves, in the Grey Havens, since most of their magic they harbored was useless, Elvish Wizards found these magic spells when they where searching for a way to protect the Grey Havens from any unwelcome outsider.
The Elves fired their arrows, with amazing accuracy, their magic arrows destroying in their own way, fire, well, it's pretty obvious, set the person it hit on fire, but this fire could not be extinguished, water released a geyser of water from the ground or if it hit the body, a geyser of blood and water would shoot out, earth-would shatter the person to bits or cause an earthquake if it hit the ground, wind would blow away anything in its path. As the Elves shot their arrows and the Light Army or the Peace Keepers, fired their stunning spells. The enemy would fire all they wanted only to have their spells rebound on them. Godric surveyed the battlefield and gave a sigh of relief to see that the enemy was losing, as long as Gandalf and his men held the barrier. He looked for Salazar and found him, wearing his ominous dark armor and instead of shouting orders, kept his eyes on something or someone and was incanting some spell, "what is he up to?" Godric thought as then there was a scream.
Godric ran to the location of where the scream originated and saw one of the Barrier Keepers dead, his neck sliced open and blood surrounding his head. He heard the crunching of stone and placed his hand on his gilded sword, which was encrusted with rubies in the hilt, he drew his sword quickly and turned around, he was amazed to see Gandalf, "forgive me Grandfather , I did not see you there." he said
"Quite, alright," Gandalf replied," who did this, who killed Johadas."
"I don't know, but whoever it is its after the Barrier Keepers, and we need the barrier to win this battle." Godric said worried.
"There is no need to worry," Gandalf said," as long as the men here are willing to fight for what is right Helms Deep will not fall."
"But still grandfather, we must find the perpetrator..." Godric's voice interrupted by another scream, "not another one, the barrier is getting weak."
"Godric come here!" Gandalf shouted
As Godric ran to where Gandalf was, he was shocked to see Helga on the ground stunned. "What happened," Godric said.
"Well it turns out Helga, was killing the Barrier Keepers," Gandalf said sternly.
"No... No," Godric said withdrawing from the stunned Helga, "how Gandalf, how?"
"She was placed under the Imperious Curse and forced to do Salazar's bidding," Gandalf explained, but then there was a sharp crack in the air," The barrier has been broken!" Gandalf yelled.
Godric ran to his post and told he men to summon their shield spells, and at once as a huge voice, the Army yelled "Protegro" and continued fighting. Green and Red lights here and there, men screaming in pain, Helms Deep's wall shattering to pebbles, the whizzing of arrows, "continue fighting men" Godric yelled, "fight for liberty, justice and freedom, die with honor and keep fighting."
The battle continued long into the night, and on and on for 3 days, during which Godric had the upper had, so many on Salazar's army had been knocked out of the Imperius curse joined Godric's Army adding to its numbers. On the third day, seeing the battle to be lost, Salazar and what was left of his army retreated. One loud roar came from Helms Deep the battle was won, or was it. Salazar and his men returned with more men. The resumed, more men fell, you could not step anywhere without stepping on a body, or getting your robes soaked in blood. Salazar's men were falling more than Godric's, after ten long and horrific days of fighting, Salazar retreated back into Mordor, Godric, rose his face covered in soot, and his sword, stained in blood, held in the air let out one single roar, again. Helms Deep was utterly destroyed, the once impenetrable fort was now a pile of boulders. Gandalf was helping men to the hospital where Helga was healing, fully recovered from the curse placed on her.
Godric looked around and couldn't help but be joyous, his army had fended of 2 attacks from Salazar and where eager for more fights. The unity in the army was strong and the army was joined in one brother ship, no matter whether you were an elf or human or dwarf. He chuckled as he saw Legolas still counting how many they killed and arguing over who killed the most
