Disclaimer: Lalala, uhh, what was the question again? :Shrugs: Oh well, on to the story. ^^

Chapter 13:

Isilindil closed her eyes to fight off the pain that welled deep inside her chest. Taseir bowed his head, looking at his Lady in remorse. "So many slaughtered.." Isilindil murmured as she opened her pain-filled eyes. "That wretch will pay for what he's done to my people. I'll cut out his heart and feed it to him."

Legolas was a bit startled at that statement, but didn't show it as Arlena did. The Elf maiden gave a small shudder at the mental image.

Isilindil turned to look at her companions, her eyes burning with an inner fire. "You have come with me this far, and I am grateful to you… but, you do not have to involve yourselves in this battle-"

"We will fight at your side, Isilindil," Legolas cut her off, looking her straight in the eyes, "No matter what happens."

Arlena nodded her head in agreement.

Isilindil gave a small smile, clapping her friends on the backs. "Then let us fight. Taseir, tell the fighters to fall back to the second wall. I don't want anymore losses."

The Elf nodded and sped off; calling out orders, which were followed by clattering, the ringing of swords and the twang of bow strings.

"Come, we will meet them at the second wall." Isilindil tore from the room, Arlena and Legolas following. She led them through twisting corridors and many halls. They finally reached the second wall.

Arlena coughed, looking out at the smoke twirling up from the ruined outside city. She averted her eyes from the many corpses, Elves and Orcs alike. "I… I didn't know Saruman had this kind of power."

Isilindil nodded, muttering an Elven curse that made both Legolas and Arlena look at her in surprise. "Taseir!"

The tall Elf came to Isilindil's side a few minutes after his name had been called. "Milady."

"We need to win back the first wall. Line up the archers and get more arrows. I can already tell that we are in need of more."

Taseir nodded, walking over to Arlena. "Lady-"

"Arlena… just Arlena." The female Elf cut in with a wave of her hand.

"Arlena, would you give me some aid?" Arlena nodded, following Taseir in search for more arrows.

Legolas turned to Isilindil, "What do we do, Isilindil?"

Isilindil couldn't tear her eyes away from the gruesome sight before her eyes. "We fight… we repay Saruman the in full for what he's done here."

Legolas looked out at the desolate city, his keen eyes picking out scurrying Orcs; no doubt trying to salvage anything of worth. Wretched things…

"Legolas," Isilindil got the Elf's attention, his shocking green eyes watching her carefully. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this…"

"Isilindil, you didn't drag me into this. I involved myself… companions stick with each other…"

That statement brought a small smile to her face. "It sounds like you've been with humans for quite some time. Already using their words and manners of speech."

A smile lit his face up as he gave a low chuckle. "Say what you will, Isilindil."

Isilindil smiled, truly smiled for the first time in quite awhile. "As you wish, Mirkwood Prince."

Legolas walked closer to Isilindil, touching her gently on the shoulder.

Isilindil tore her eyes away from the scene to look directly at Legolas's green orbs. "We… we need to get to the archers…" Isilindil breathed, taking a step back from Legolas.

He nodded the flickering emotions that had been playing in his eyes fading. "You're right. Let's be quick." The two quickly ran to where Taseir and Arlena had gathered the archers. Legolas joined their ranks, taking his bow from around his shoulders. He drew an arrow, looking to Isilindil.

"Prepare to fire!" Isilindil called out, taking the offered bow from Taseir with a nod of gratitude. She fitted an arrow to her bow, taking aim of one of the lead Orcs. "FIRE!"

A deadly rain of arrows poured down on the unwary Orcs. Weapons were soon drawn as the Orcs started to fall. "Prepare to fire!" Came the shout again from Isilindil. "FIRE!"

So another war began; The Elves fighting for their home and lives, Saruman fighting for greed and power. A new war that will change countless lives, and end countless more… So begins the Battle for Amazon.
