Chapter Fourteen: New Danger
This is just a little filler chappie while I beat out the next! Remember reviews, reviews, reviews, reviews!!!!!!!!!!
Celebdur was awakened from his sleep to someone shaking his shoulder. Ansatin was frantic and pale as a ghost and breathless from running.
"The woods are under attack, we need to leave!" He blurted out before Celebdur could even look at him.
"Calm down, get your breath, now what is happening?" The captain said as he sat up and put his hands on the young man's shoulders calming his anxiety.
The healer apprentice paused and took some deep breaths before continuing .
"I saw a war party stopping for a rest. They were orcs, they were sent from Dol Gour (I have no idea if that is spelled right or not!) they going to try to attack the Elf king's halls and try to take them." He said after calming.
"Start rousing everyone," Celebdur said quickly and standing up, "Tell them to start packing up the camp, we should be ready to move out in the morning." Ansatin and Celebdur went about stirring everyone from their sleep, the group of forty moved quickly.
Celebdur knelt by Rochwen, "Rochwen wake up." She stirred clearing her eyes from deep dreaming, and asked why the haste. As Celebdur explained to her she rushed to her guards to tell them of the new danger. As Rochwen slapped back the brambles to the river she didn't see the other elf she expected. She searched the glade but found no trace off him, just as she was about to panic Celebdur came out of the brush.
"Have you seen Legolas?" They both asked simultaneously.
"He relived me a few hours ago, that was the last time I saw him." Rochwen said.
Celebdur quitted her side and went to the banks of the stream. Rondiath had told him that he had left the tiny ring there, of course he had questioned Rondiath on this tactic, and Rondiath had told him to trust him on the idea. Rondiath knew Legolas, and Celebdur trusted the other man on his actions. Celebdur scanned the area and found no trace of the band.
"Of all the times to make amends you pick now?!" Celebdur grumbled under his breath.
"What?" Rochwen asked.
"He's gone back." The captain said.
"Gone back where?" The elf said with a hint of annoyance, she was not fond of riddles.
Celebdur knew that Legolas would not want the captain too tell what he knew of his past to anyone, but Rochwen was one of Legolas' best friends. They were the same age and they had grown up like brother and sister together. Rochwen had the right to know.
"Rochwen," Celebdur began, "You wondered how Legolas knew the cells in Elf King's halls?" Rochwen nodded and wondered if Celebdur had a pointing this. "He's the king's son. He was nearly dead when we found him, I still don't know what happened to him but when we found him he was wearing a ring with an emblem on it, Tolbeth knew that it was Mirkwood's royal house insignia. Now he's gone back, and now of all times..."
Rochwen hung back, "Legolas is a prince." She said with questioning, trying to discern the story like it was a puzzle. A prince? Legolas? Her quiet, moody, headstrong best friend was a prince? But then there was another point; Legolas had gone out alone and with no knowledge of the new danger. "We're not going without him?" Rochwen more stated then asked.
"No," Celebdur said to her, "You gather a searching party and tell the others to move out, when we find him we'll catch back up with them." Rochwen went to find some people while Celebdur went to Tolbeth and left her in charge and lead the others out of the wood.
The dawn misted and the two parties set out one out of Mirkwood, the other headed deeper into the forest.
