"How are we supposed to get the book to them when they are in an entirely different world?" wondered Celeborn as Elladan was having his arm looked after.
As it turned out, he had broken his arm when he had fallen and he winced as his arm was being moved.
"It does not appear to be as simple as it might sound. If I read this correctly, there are only two ways a spell can be reversed. One, is by a person who was present when the spell was cast to place a counter spell," Galadriel told them as she leafed through the book.
"What is the other way?" wondered Elrohir as he continued to take care of his brother's wound.
Chimone was helping Elrohir do so and she was obviously worried and nervous at the same time about the whole situation. The group could tell she was for they were as well.
"The other way is that the person who first cast the spell dies," Galadriel replied.
"I think we might want to use the other choice," Haldir said, saying everyone's unspoken choice.
"How are we going to do that now? We cannot exactly get a hold of any of them that easily," wondered Arwen.
"I believe I can still become in contact with one of them still," Galadriel replied as she soon came to a page.
They watched her as she began to concentrate.

Legolas still lay limp in his father's arms as they continued towards the 'Black Pearl'.
"How are we going to leave in the middle of the night?" wondered Thranduil as they headed onto the ship.
"That's the problem. We don't know where to head from here and it's dark out. We'll wait some time before heading out," Jack replied as he looked over the town. "Hope they didn't see us come out here."
Will joined Jack and so did Elizabeth and they stared at the town of Port Royal as well.
"What will my father and the commodore thin now?" wondered Elizabeth.
"I think they're going to be a bit upset when they realize what just happened," Will told her as he glanced over at Thranduil.
The elf was now taking Legolas below decks, Nanaylia following right behind him. Thranduil placed Legolas on the bunk and both stayed by his side.
"Will he be alright?" she wondered as she glanced over at her father.
"I hope so and I hope we are able to find a way home. As you say, without the book, we might not be able to get back home. We might be stuck here the rest of our lives, trying to stay ahead of this Commodore Norrington and his men," Thranduil replied in a quiet voice.
Nanaylia sighed as she began the transformation back into an elf. She crawled into a corner, almost to tears over the pain of the transformation and over her brother's injuries.
"Lego, I want to go home," she whispered. "And I want you to get better. You will never know how much I missed you over the years I was away from you. I still remembered you."
###
Legolas groaned as he placed a hand on his forehead. He tried to sit up but found it very difficult to do so. He soon mananged to do so and even stand up in a few minutes.
He also soon realized that he was no longer anywhere that he recognized, not even any of the places of the Caribbean.
"Legolas," came a voice from behind him.
He turned around to see Galadriel standing behind him and he became very surprised.
"Lady Galadriel," he managed to say.
"Dear Legolas, you have been in so much turmoil since the attack from the wolves in which you believed your sister perished," she told him as she moved closer to him. "Even though it is now done, your sister now has regret showing you that spell. I can sense it in her. She never wants you to get hurt."
She brushed a hand over his cheek, over the tears that begun to flow down his face. He soon took notice of the book in her free hand.
"What is that?" he asked, pulling from her.
"It is the book that Nanaylia has come to call her own. It is the book that was once Manlin's and the same one she recited the spell from. I need you to recite another spell from it," explained the elven lady as she handed him the book.
"Me? Why me?" wondered Legolas.
"You were present when the spell was cast. That means you can return to Middle Earth with your father and sister," Galadriel told him.
Legolas was very confused as he looked at the spell sitting before him.
"I do not know how to perform this magic," Legolas soon had to say.
"I know that dear prince. I realize that the princess has the ability to learn but that does not mean that her brother cannot learn as well," Galadriel quietly told him.
Legolas stared at her. It seemed to him that she knew something that no one else did. He was quite puzzled by it as he looked over the spell and soon believed that he had to at least try.
###
Thranduil looked over his son, wondering when the elf would be alright. He knew his daughter felt guilty with what she had done.
He and Nanaylia soon heard the door open and footsteps walk into the room. He turned his head slightly to see that it was Jack and Sonja.
"How is he doing?" wondered Jack.
"He is doing better but he is still in some pain," replied Thranduil as he looked over the two.
Sonja walked over to Nanaylia and knelt next to her.
"Are you alright?" the pirate asked.
Nanaylia nodded as Sonja placed a hand on her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
All of a sudden, everyone in the room began to hear Legolas talking. They looked at him to see that he was not conscious but was talking in a strange language.
"What kind of language is that?" wondered Thranduil as he stood up.
"It almost sounds like the language the other spell was in. But how is it possible that Legolas is doing this?" replied Nanaylia.
She suddenly felt a change in her and she looked at her hands to see that all the gargoyle features were gone and she was an elf. She soon began to notice the strange lights appearing in the room as did the others.
"What is going on?" wondered Jack as he held onto Sonja.
"I am unsure," replied Thranduil as he hurried over to his daughter.
They went over to Legolas and he knelt beside his son.
"Legolas. what are you doing?" his father asked, placing a hand on Legolas' arm.
He knew he wasn't going to get an answer and he didn't. What he did get was a flash of bright light. Jack covered Sonja from it and when they looked back at the bunk, they saw that the three elves were gone.
"What happened?" wondered Sonja.
"That must have been something to send them back home. That's my best guess," replied Jack as Will and Elizabeth hurried into the room.
The two saw that the three were gone and were slightly confused by it. Jack glanced over at them and sighed.
"Don't ask. All I can say is that they're probably home right now," Jack told them.
"I still find it amazing how much Legolas looked like you Will," Elizabeth said to the blacksmith.
"I know. I wonder if we'll ever see them again?" Will agreed.
Sonja stared at the place the elves were once and had to wonder as well. She began to wonder about many things at that moment.
"May as well get the two of you back to shore before anyone realizes that you're gone. Just have to wonder what the commodore when he can't seem to find the elves," Jack told Will and Elizabeth with a small smile.
The two also had to smile at what Norrington was going to think as well.
###
Galadriel snapped out of her trance and looked around at the elves around her.
"So how did it go?" wondered Elladan, voicing everyone's concern.
Their answer came in the form of a storm brewing in the distance. They watched as the clouds became darker. It was threatening to rain.
"What the...?" wondered Haldir.
A flash of lighting crashed down and everyone covered their eyes. When they looked again, they saw that nothing was different.
"If that was supposed to be them, where are they?" asked Elrohir as he stepped forward.
Galadriel looked around and soon headed towards the door in realization.
"I know where they are. They are in the same place they were when they left," she told them.
They followed her and headed towards the clearing. There, they found the three royal elves of Mirkwood, lying on the ground unconscious.
"We have to get them back to their home. They will need our help in recovering," Celeborn told them as he headed over to Legolas.
The younger elf was facing away from him and Celeborn turned the elf so that Legolas was facing him. He was very surprised to see the marks around his neck.
"No," he quietly said. "What did happen during your time away from here?"
TBC...
