Chapter 9: The Break Before the Storm
The demons traveled full speed towards the elven home of Mirkwood. They didn't stop for anything, not until they reached the northern border off the forest. "I don't see why we are trying to sneak in! We can take the whole lot of them!" complained Vulcan.
"Don't be a dolt although I know it's hard for you dear brother. They have the Istari now, they already know we're coming and when we do, they'll fight back, the wizard too! We must arrive without it being known and take out white wizard first."
Vulcan snorted, "Even that fool doesn't stand a chance against all of us together!"
Findla turned on him next, "Don't be so sure, that wizard is powerful, even if he doesn't always let be known."
"Hn, I still say that old man isn't a threat to us. Besides, sister, you were the one that seemed so confident in our newest ally!" scoffed Vulcan again.
"Do us all a favor and be quiet before you attract their attention." came an icy voice. The demon it came from was just as cold. Even the ground he touched froze so quickly that the plants did not have the time to die. They all stared at their newest member who was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He hadn't said a word since they caught up with him but none of them failed to notice the silent animosity between him and Vulcan.
Inglod was not over fond of Exile either after having his neck broken by the ice demon but he was smart enough to know that Exile could easily kill him if crossed. Vulcan on the other hand didn't care for the newest member's disrespect of him. After all, Vulcan thought, he *was* the leader of the group.
"Hold your tongue Exile! You fail to remember who the leader of this company."
Exile looked at him with disdain, "Perhaps it is possible that you are the leader only because no one else has challenged you?"
Vulcan was quickly losing his patience, "You are bound to my orders Exile! You have no place to bandy words with me!"
Exile smirked with contempt, "But your sister does? Besides, you are not the one I take orders from." Before Vulcan could argue, Exile turned his head away and began to stare at the stars thus closing the argument. One star in particular caught his eye and although he couldn't think of the reason. Had he his memory, he would have known it to be Elendil, the most beloved star of the elves.
Back at the elven ken, Gimli, Gandalf, Thranduil and the hobbits were trying to convince Aragorn that he should stay. "He wants me!!! I will not stay here and endanger you all!!!" Aragorn shouted.
Gimli was the next to yell, "Don't be an idiot!!! To go out by yourself would be suicide!!!"
Gandalf nodded, "Aragorn, throwing yourself out into the open will not help anyone, you least of all. And with you would fall the world of men."
"Please Mr. Strider sir, running off like that won't help nobody." Sam pleaded. Thranduil was busy looking out the window, thinking to himself about his son. Little did he know that his son was looking at the very star he was at that moment.
Exile heard the conversation at the palace but he didn't even move. He wasn't going to tell them, let Vulcan find out on his own. Exile smiled evilly as he thought what he was going to do to that human once he got his claws on him.

Ok, as always, I know this was way too short, even more so than usual but I have a horrible case of the dreaded writers block. I do have an idea but I really need you guys to do it. Does anyone have any idea how I can get Aragorn to Lothlorien? Yep, you guessed it; I'm going to have him look into the mirror of Galadriel!! But like I said, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to get him there. Also, I am sorely tempted to put a bit of, well.. I can't really call it 'romance'.. More of, and attraction or infatuation or we could just say hormones. Anyway, I'm thing about a bit of a Vera/Exile? But I'm not sure if you guys want to see anything like that. Please help via reviews. If you don't have an idea for either subject, normal reviews are always appreciated too. Ok I luv ya'll buh bye!!!
