Chapter 3-The vile substance, and a collapse.
Gimli sighed. For over an hour he had been trying to get the elf to say something, anything but so far nothing. Legolas sat stubbornly in front now and then whispereing something to Arod in elvish.
"Come on you dratted elf, say something to me!"
Legolas stopped Arod, dismounted and went off into the woods. Gimli sat there, confused until Legolas came back. He noticed the elf looked paler and a little flushed.
"Lad, you alright?"
"Fine, Gimli."
Legolas got back on and they procedded until night time. They sat near a willow, Gimli cooking dinner and Legolas sitting in the tree. Every now and then Gimli glanced into the tree. Something wasn't right. Legolas after the first going into the woods incident, did the same thing five times before Gimli suggested they should stop.
Legolas jumped down from the tree. He landed softly beside Gimli looking into the forest. He ducked down and a few seconds later an arrow was implanted in the tree where the elf was standing. Gimli sttod up and brought out his axe. He turned toward the elf to see that Legolas had already had his bow out and an arrow notched ready for release.
"Where?" Gimli whispered.
"They are gone," Legolas replied softly, putting down his bow.
"They?"
Legolas nodded. "I am positive there was more than one."
Gimli sighed," I believe you, elf."

Legolas tied up Arod and joined Gimli at the motuh of the cave. They entered and followed a little path. They were on the edge of a basin Legolas noticed leaning over to look at the curved bottomw of the stone ruin. The bowl shaped dome glittered and sparkled in the dim light.
Legolas quickly got up with Gimli, who had continued to venture further into the cave. Gimli had taken a torch from the wall and lit it so they could see better in the darkness that lay ahead. Legolas began feeling a tiny bit claustrophobic but none the less followed.
After an hour had passed and they had seen more glittering, twinkling spaces of substance that had not yet been touched Legolas was ready to go. His bad feeling was getting stronger, but he didn't want to ruin this. After all he had promised Gimli.
"Hey Legolas look at this!" came Gimli's voice from some where up ahead.
"Alright, I am coming," Legolas mumbled only loud enough for Gimli to hear him slightly.
Legolas crept forward and noticed he was at a fork. Without thinking he took the left path, focusing only on what he felt. As soon as he walked for a few minutes he realized he went down the wrong path. He heard Gimli's voice call again telling him to hurry. Legolas sighed and started to make his way back.
=----=----=----=----=---=---=---=---
Gimli was amazed. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. He could tell it was done by elves long ago. It was a leaf that twisted and turned into a snake. Rather odd to be elven made, Gimli thought.
He called to Legolas again, wondering where the elf was. He began to get worried. He knew Legolas didn't like caves at all...nor being in small places.
Gimli walked back the way he had came when the walls seemed to rumble. The dwarf stopped and put a hand to the wall. Sand and dust fell while rocks began to split and tumble. Gimli back up down the path as quick as he could. He looked up just in time to see a bunch of rocks come down to meet him. He yelled and bent down. Right before he fell into darkness he briefly heard another cry.
Then all became dark........
