Disclaimer: I don't own any of the lotr people...bugga! But I do own da rest
of them!!
Summery: what do you get if you mix orcs with the fellowship and few random characters? Well this is what I think anyway!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The company rode on until they heard a low horn blow. They all looked about them where armed elves were looking at them from the trees.
"Who goes there?" shouted one.
"Sequoia Hartwood, daughter of King Xandral of Delven!"
"Your highness, I didn't realise, we've been having problems lately, with orcs. They have been trying to get in to the castle grounds..."
"I know we encountered some on the way here. Now hurry, send for Telania at once, my friend is hurt badly." Kiaro cut him short.
"Of course your highness, right away. I'll tell her to meet you at the castle doors." Two elves jumped out of the trees, mounted horses and rode off in a different direction to find Telania. Another two rode ahead of them to the castle to announce their arrival. As Kiaro and the rest of the group arrived, she was met a pretty elf who had short brown hair and dazzling green eyes. The others could only have assumed this to be Telania, whom Kiaro had sent for.
"Telania, I need your help! My friend, Frodo has been shot with an arrow. We need some Kingsorrell to heal him. Go now, hurry, I'll take him to the healing houses."
Telania nodded and ran off to the gardens to find some Kingsorrell. She returned to the healing houses and found Frodo lying on his bed sweating feverishly. Frodo's companions were sitting by the window watching as Kiaro mopped his brow with a damp cloth. Telania walked passed the guards at the door and walked over to the bed. Kiaro looked up and smiled at Telania. "Did you get any Kingsorrell?" she asked.
"Yes, but I hope it will be enough for this," she answered.
"So do I" replied Kiaro, she stood up and went over to one of the guards at the door, "I need you to go quickly and get me a bowl of warm water and some clean cloths. Oh and you," she turned to the other guard, "please make sure that our other guests are comfortable and get them a light snack before the banquet tonight. Thank you. You may leave now."
"Yes your highness." The guards bowed and departed. One headed off towards the kitchen to get a snack while the other went off to the store where all the medical things were kept.
"Are you sure its going to work?" Legolas stood to face Telania, their eyes met and for a moment they just looked at each other.
"Yeah, don't worry. With Telania and me working together nothing can go wrong. We're as close as sisters, we even know what each other are thinking" Legolas looked up with surprise at the sound of Kiaro's voice and Telania looked away turning pink with embarrassment. At that moment, the guard that had been sent to get water and clean cloths returned, half walking half running, spilling the water as he went. "Thank you. Come on Telania. I need your help. Legolas, there are beds in the room opposite this one, if you want to take everyone over there to get some rest. An Elf will come soon with some food but my father has invited you all to a banquet this evening so don't fill yourself up!"
Legolas nodded and went over to the rest of the group. The guard took them into the opposite room, as Sam left, he stroked Frodo's hand and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry Master Frodo, you're in good hands. Trust 'em."
As Sam left Telania turned to Sequoia and said "You sure you know what we have to do? Right Sequoia?"
"Yep, just the same as usual. Don't worry... Oh and try not to think about Legolas too much. You have to concentrate!" Telania just looked at Sequoia and started to laugh, Sequoia smiled and they both knew what each other were going to say next. "We've known each other too long!" they uttered together.
Legolas smiled as he heard this but decided not to show that he had heard. He didn't want to ruin his chances now did he!
Telania peeled away the leaves of the Kingsorrell and dropped them into the steaming water, then took a clean cloth and soaked it with the infused Kingsorrell water. The bowl of water sat on the bed that Frodo lay in. Telania and Sequoia were knelt beside him. Telania passed Sequoia the cloth and Sequoia, who had already taken off Frodo's shirt, pressed it to the wound. Frodo groaned with the pain but didn't have the energy to scream.
Next Telania took another cloth and dipped this into the water but she also added a new ingredient, the paste of a different herb called Estole, which was used by all elves as a relief for pain. She then pressed it firmly against Frodo's side where the wound was, like Sequoia had done before, but this time, Frodo did not feel any pain because of the healing power of the Estole. When Telania took away the cloth, the wound was totally cured and Frodo was healed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sam ran in to the room where Frodo was sitting by the burning fire and hugged him enthusiastically. Then he turned away and let the others embrace with him but when they had finished he went back for another.
"Thought you were gonna die on us just then Master Frodo!"
"Well Sam, I couldn't leave you all alone now could I?!"
"The question is, will you be fit enough to attend a Banquet held in your honour tonight. You will get to meet my Father if you do. How does it sound?"
"Very exciting, I can't wait!" answered Frodo
"Great! The banquet, as I said, isn't till tonight so how about a walk in the wood?"
"Get some fresh air to help you heal up a bit faster," added Sam
"I agree with you Sam, I need some fresh air!"
So all except the wizard Gandalf whom had decided to talk with King Xandral, made their way out to the forest, talking and laughing as they went. Telania, Legolas and Sequoia led the group with the four hobbits at the back and the rest spread out between them. Just then, up ahead in the trees, they heard a rustle in the leaves; there was no wind so it couldn't have been that. They crept, silently towards the place that the sound had come from. Then, the crack of a breaking twig was heard behind them. They all spun around except Pippin who stood there looking rather embarrassed.
"Oopps! Sorry!"
Boromir sighed; shook his head and they all turned back the way they had been heading. They were about to reach the trees when they heard the sound of more cracking twigs. As before, they all turned to look at Pippin,
"Hey! What you all looking at me for? That was not me!"
"Then who was it?" enquired Telania,
"Or what!?" added Sequoia who was looking around, cautiously.
Suddenly more than one hundred orcs appeared out of the trees and surrounded them, leaving just one way to escape.
"Well; has that answered your question?" asked Merry
"Yeah, Thanks!" Telania replied sarcastically.
"Okay. Who else now wishes that they had brought their weapons with us?!" said Strider.
The orcs jumped down from the rocks they had been stood on and started to advance on them.
"What do we do? Stand and fight or..."
"RUN!! "
