The Pass of Caradhras
The Fellowship push through the snow storm deep onto the high ledge of
the mountain. Legolas, alongside Buffy, walk on top of the snow with
ease, moving up to the front of the Fellowship to keep an eye out.
Aragorn and Boromir pulled the hobbits close to them, keeping them
warm and safe and carrying them up the mountain. A hush ran over the
mountain, sending a cooler chill than before against them all. "There
is a fell voice on the air." A few boulders fell over the ledge above
them. Everyone looked up, gasping. "It's Saruman!" Gandalf lifted his
staff and began to chant a spell of protection, but Saruman's spell
was stronger. A bolt of lightening slammed hard against the very top
of the mountain, causing snow and rocks to crumble down. It compacted
the Fellowship, including Legolas and Buffy, deep underneath the snow.
Legolas pulled himself up and out of the snow, head first, first.
Buffy followed, along with Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf and the hobbits.
"We must get off this mountain! Make for the Gap of Rohan! Or head to
my city." Boromir had lifted himself up fully now and everyone was
standing on the snow.
Aragorn shook his head. "The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to
Isenguard." Gimli rushed over to Gandalf with urgency. "We cannot pass
over a mountain. Let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of
Moria."
FLASHBACK
Saruman sat in his chair reading a book, pointing to a picture.
Gandalf could see the dare in the wizard's eye. Black, cold, and
unrelentless. Totally oblivious to anything and everything that was
good, it seemed. "Moria." Gandalf, once again, saw the dare in the
man's eyes before him and heard it from somewhere deep within the
man's solemn voice. "You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves
devled to greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke there in the
darkness of Khazad-dum: Shadow and Flame." A smile curved on the White
Wizard's lips.
Mines of Moria
"Are we lost?" The Fellowship stopped, searching the three doors that
stood in their way. "No." Merry nudged Pip and gave him a look. "I
think we are." Merry rolled his eyes and shh'd Pip. "Gandalf is
thinking!" Pippin tapped Merry's shoulder, trying to get his attention
and making it seem like it was very important issue. Merry turned
around. "What?" Pippin paused for a moment, dragging out the silence
... and the patience of Merry. "I'm hungry." Frodo spotted something
in the distance and ran to Gandalf, sitting beside him. "There's
something down there." The man just nodded solemnly. "It's Gollum."
Frodo looked up at Gandalf questioningly. "Gollum?" Gandalf nodded,
again solemnly, thinking. "He's been following us for three days."
The Bridge of Khazad-dum
"Orcs." Legolas watched as Aragorn and Boromir blocked the door shut.
He turned toward Buffy. "Use your voice Buffy." She gave him a
confused glance. "Huh?" Legolas pulled his bow out. The orcs were
pounding at the door trying to knock it in. "You have the gift of
voice, right?" He watched her nod and pull her sword out. "Use it, so
we can defeat them." A worried expression succumbed Buffy's face.
"What's wrong?" The dust was now fully off the door and on the ground.
"I don't know if it will work, I have never used it in battle."
Aragorn and Boromir backed away from the door after baracading it. "I
believe in you, Buffy." Legolas's eyes shown truth and love, respect
and adoration. Buffy felt strong.
Buffy walked up close to the door as the orcs began to break in and
claw their entrance. "What is she doing?" Boromir lowered his sword
for a moment. "Her destiny." Legolas turned his eyes back on Buffy,
smiling, his eyes clear. She took a deep breath, but it was kind of
shaky. "I linger in the doorway..." She began, holding the last note
and then turning back to Legolas for support. The orcs were almost in
by now and one more claw they would be fully in. He motioned for her
to continue. "Of alarming sounds screaming monsters calling my name.
Let me stay!"
The orcs were in now, but they all stood staring at the Elf before
them. The wind was blowing her hair and dress back and an eerie light
dwelled upon her. To them, she looked like an evil goddess who could
destroy them within a second. "Where the wind will whisper to me...
Where the raindrops as they're falling, tell a story." Aragorn, Gimli,
and Boromir exchanged glances. Legolas's never fell from the woman he
loved. "A witch!" Gimli yelled, but Legolas shh'd him quickly. "Don't
disturb this! We can defeat them." Gimli's eyes fell on Buffy again.
Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir walked slowly up to the orcs in the
front row. Killing them and noticing no response from the others. They
continued, as did Buffy. "In my field of paper flowers and candy
clouds of lullaby, I lie inside myself for hours! And watch my purple
sky fly over me."
Buffy rose her arms up high, causing a miniature storm to encircle
her. Aragorn turned around, eying her and then surprised to see Gimli
joining. "Don't say I'm not in touch with this rampant chaos..."
Legolas, along with Aragorn, were both staring at her now in wonder.
Her eyes had turned black now and her hair was black. Wow, Legolas
thought, she really does have a gift. "Your reality! I know well what
lies beyond my sleeping refuge: The nightmare I built my own world to
escape." She suddenly cut off when something in the background, behind
the orcs, came pounding up. A huge troll broke the entrance wider,
entering. Buffy's appearance had returned to normal as she stared up
in fear at the creature in front of her. Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir and
Gimli moved to either side of it. Legolas pulls out an arrow and it
hits in the throat, giving Buffy a chance to run.
The orcs awoke from their spell and began attacking the hobbits. Frodo
fought with one but ended up getting stabbed. Buffy growled, anger
seeping through her. "Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming,
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights. Oh how I long for the deep
sleep dreaming, the goddess of imaginary light...." Buffy jumped down
from the tomb and began attacking the orcs. Aragorn stood and thrusted
his sword up into the troll's heart. Everyone walked over to Frodo.
"You should be dead. That spear would have skewered a wild boar."
Gimli appeared behind Buffy who stood beside Legolas. "I think there's
more to this hobbit than meets the eye." Frodo began to unbutton his
shirt, revealing a Mithril coat. "Mithril! You are full of surprises,
Master Baggins." Buffy turned around and then back to everyone. She
eyed Gandalf and he knew exactly what she was thinking because he had
the same thought running through his mind. "To the bridge of Khazad-
dum!"
They ran through the long hallway, going deeper into Moria. But it's
filled with orcs, and they soon became surrounded. Legolas whispered
into Buffy's ear. "Sing." Buffy moved forward, everyone grumbled their
agreement. "Long lost words whisper slowly to me; still can't find
what keeps me here. When all this time, I've been so hollow inside; I
know you're still there." The orcs did not seem to be paying
attention, Buffy noticed. But she kept singing on. "Watching me,
wanting me. I can feel you pull me down. Fearing you, loving you. I
won't let you pull me down!" A red, glowing light at the end of the
long hallway began to grow closer. Buffy choked. "Hunting you, I can
smell you alive. Your heart is pounding in my head. Saving me, raping
me. Watching me." The orcs all disappeared as quick as they had
surrounded the Fellowship. "Run!" They all took off running and ended
up on the bridge. Running as the bridge began to break. The monster
came crashing towards them and just before they got onto the last part
of the bridge, it faced off with Gandalf. "Go back to the shadow!"
Gandalf spoke the words like a true wizard. Everyone watched intently.
He slammed his staff on the bridge, causing it to break. The monster
fell off and Gandalf sighed, turning around. The monster's whip swung
up and wrapped around his leg, pulling him down. There was nothing
that the Fellowship could do to save him and they watched with tears
coming down their faces. "Fly, you fools!"
Lothlorien
Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, the hobbits, and Gimli pranced secretively
through the wood of Lothlorien. "Come, I will lead you there." Buffy
moved to the front of the crowd. "Watch where you step. We have fleets
out today and they will attack." The Galadhrim appeared holding their
arrows up. Haldir stepped to the front of the line. "The dwarf
breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark." He passes Gimli
an evil look, not liking the dwarves' presence. Haldir turned toward
Buffy. "Welcome back, Buffy." He also turned to face Legolas, greeting
him too. They both bowed. "Our Fellowship stands in your debt, Haldir
O' Lorien." Haldir gave a slight smile at the properness of Legolas's
speech. He then turned and bowed toward Aragorn. Haldir then addressed
Frodo. "You bring great evil with you." He then turned toward Gimli.
"You can go no further." Aragorn stepped forward, beside Buffy. "We
need your protection." Aragorn and Haldir continued to argue. Buffy
grabbed Legolas's hand and pulled him to the side. "When the Lord and
Lady address us, I'm going to tell her that I shall remain her with my
people. They will need my help to keep the orcs from entering these
woods." Legolas lowered his eyes. "I have never known true loss or
even the ecstasy of grief until I met you and I've never known
happiness, why are you leaving me now?" Buffy took hold of his hand.
"We shall meet again, melamin. This I promise." They kissed each other
quickly, going back to find Haldir still arguing with Aragorn. Haldir
finally sighed. "You will follow me."
Lorien
"Caras Galadhon. The heart of Elvendom on earth. Realm of Lord
Celeborn and of Galadriel, Lady of the Light." The Fellowship walked
up the long, winding staircase up to a large flat. They walked toward
the grand court of Galadriel and Celeborn. Haldir stopped them and
stepped aside as Galadriel and Celeborn ascended from their thrones.
He moved over to stand beside Buffy and Legolas. He leaned over,
whispering into Buffy's ear. "I've missed you." His eyes remained up
on the Lord and Lady while Buffy turned to look at him. She knew
Legolas could hear what Haldir had said. "I've missed Lorien. It's
been far too long a journey." She knew he frowned at her response.
"The enemy knows you have entered here. What hope you had in secrecy
is now gone. Eight that there are here, yet nine there were set out
from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak
with him. I can no longer see him from afar." Galadriel's eyes skimmed
over the Fellowship, seeing their new grief and she knew all too well
what had happened in Moria. "Gandalf the Grey did not pass the borders
of this land." She stared directly into Aragorn's eyes. "He has fallen
into Shadow."
"He was taken by both Shadow and Flame. A Balrog of Morgoth. For we
went needlessly into the net of Moria." Galadriel closed her eyes for
a moment. Buffy grabbed hold of Legolas's hand and squeezed. "Needless
were none of the deeds of Gandalf. We do not yet know his full
purpose. Do not let the great emptiness of Khazad-dum fill your heart,
Gimli son of Gloin, for the world has grown full of peril and in all
lands love is now mingled with grief." Gimli received a picture of
Legolas and Buffy kissing in his mind and then why they remained
apart. "What now becomes of this Fellowship? Without Gandalf, hope is
lost." Galadriel's eyes fall on Boromir, and just as she had done with
Gimli, she speaks to Boromir in his mind. "The quest stands upon the
edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail to the ruin of
all." He shifted uncomfortably on his feet. "Yet hope remains while
the company is true." She glanced at Sam. "Do not let your hearts be
troubled. Go now and rest, for you are weary with sorrow and much
toil. Tonight, you will sleep in peace...." Galadriel didn't even
glance at Frodo while she spoke in his mind. "Welcome, Frodo of the
Shire, one whom has seen the Eye!"
Buffy and Legolas walked side-by-side, they listened to the lament
that the Galadhrim sung in Gandalf's memory. Buffy pulled them to a
stop, noticing Merry staring at them. She nudged Legolas. He turned
around and saw the disdain in Merry's face. "A lament for Gandalf."
Merry sat up. "What do they say about him?" Legolas thought about
telling Merry, but decided not to. "I have not the heart to tell you.
For me, the grief is still too near." Legolas's face contorted into
pain, the first time he had ever shown his emotion. Buffy wrapped her
arm around his waist and guided him away, through the wood and to the
bridge where the waterfall was. "I know that this is new for you and I
know tis hard to understand such emotion." They faced each other,
close together to where their bodies almost were touching. Legolas
reached out and grabbed hold of her hands. "What I do not understand,
Buffy, is why you have yet to make things right between Haldir and
yourself. He still expects you to love him and be with him. I see it
in the way he acts around you." Buffy lowered her head in shame. "It
would hurt too much telling him why I cannot be with him. When I know
my true destiny is with you!" Legolas lowered his head, kissing her.
"Then fix this now."
Sam sat behind a tree which Aragorn sat on the other end. "I bet they
don't mention his fireworks. There should be a verse about them." He
stood up and recited:
"The finest rockets ever seen,
They burst in stars of blue and green,
Or after thunder, silver showers,
Came falling like a rain of flowers."
Aragorn hit the back of the tree which Sam stood beside, annoyed. "Oh,
that doesn't do them justice by a long road." Aragorn turned to
Boromir. "Take some rest, these borders are well protected."
