Trouble-15: Alright everyone, sorry I have not updated in a while, I had six exams to deal with, a new boyfriend, and cousins to baby sit. So my month has been havoc. Now, thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate the good comments. I will hopefully get back to my writing everyday and finish this story soon; I think I have about 5 more chapters at most.
Ah yes, there is a pert in here where I skim over some things. When the armies of Rohan are riding to Gondor I skim what happens, I mean we have all seen the movie or read the books, so you should know that Aragorn gets the sword and gets the dead people from the cave and all that.
Aragorn sat on the steps of Rohan's Hall waiting for a sign. He worried about Leobelia and about Frodo. He knew the loss of Leobelia was hard for everyone but most for Legolas. Legolas had been quiet and upset ever since they lost her. His eyes did not shine with the love for life as they had used to. Aragorn knew he could never imagine the pain Legolas was feeling, and did not want to try. It had been 3 weeks, and Legolas had not shown sign of improving.
The pipe in Aragorn's mouth sent up little puffs of smoke as he watched the distant hill. For three days he sat in this very spot and watched the hill where a sign from Gondor would bring Rohan to war. Aragorn could only pray that Gandalf would find a way to convince Denethor to agree to ask for help.
Aragorn turned his head as he looked behind him to see Legolas leaning against the gray stone wall. His blue eyes filled with sorrow, and his face was pale and thin, he had not eaten in days.
"Legolas, you look ill." Aragorn said softly, his voice was full of concern.
"I feel ill my friend, I feel as if my own immortality has been sucked out of me." Legolas said. His eyes did not leave the hills.
"You should not worry so, you know very well that Leobelia can take care of herself, she is probably on her way back to you as we speak. And if she did pass, she would want you to carry on and finish this and not morn for her so." Aragorn looked back to the hills.
"It is so hard though, Aragorn, imagine you lost Arewen. That she died because you could not save her, because you were too foolish to keep her by your side. That is that it feels like." his voice faded as he spoke.
Suddenly a flicker of red light sprung up from the distant hills. Aragorn jumped to his feet and raced into the Hall, Legolas followed him.
"My Lord! The beakons have been lit, they beakons have been lit!" Aragorn shouted as he ran to the King.
"Then Rohan shall answer!" King Theoden shouted and walked to his troops. All then men able to fight were given weapons and loaded onto horses. The travel would be a long one, lots of stops would be made and they would meet more armies on the way.
Aragorn remembered what Gandalf told him before he left and wondered what he had meant. Aragorn packed his things quickly and road with Legolas, and Gimli towards Gondor.
Leobelia awoke to see Lamond already up and around. She grunted to herself and rolled over. Her bare shoulders chilled as the covers slid down her body.
"Damn him, I was warm." Leobelia cursed to herself as she got up and dressed quickly.
She soon met up with Lamond and joined the armies of orcs and men as they road toward Gondor. A smirk appeared on her face, she would soon be able to kill and cause destruction.
Even being close to Gondor it took three days to move all the troops to Gondor's front gates. Leobelia received word when they reached Gondor that the river had been taken and the son of the Stuart was injured.
"Good, now, ready the troops and tell them to form their lines and when I am ready we will attack." Leobelia smiled as she walked over to the gigantic elephant she would be riding in battle. Its tusks were covered in stakes to kill who ever it ran into, and it was painted in a war paint to show it was on the side of Mordor.
The orc troops were quickly readied and charged the gates or Gondor. The fate of Men was in the hands of the orcs now.
King Theoden pushed his men to ride faster as he could hear the screams of women and men coming from over the hill of Gondor. When they did finally reach the top of the hill they could see the devastation the orcs had already caused. Bodies were covering the battle ground; most of them were bodies of men.
"You are too late, Theoden! The fate of men is gone; they are weak and now, no longer exist! All thanks to me." A voice rang through out the valley. The clashing of swords stopped and silence soon took over.
"You are wrong; we come to save the fate of men!" Theoden shouted back. One of the elephants in the battle turned to face the army, on it, a dark vision of Leobelia stood.
"This is where you are wrong, King Theoden, darkness swept you away once, and it will find a way to do it again. Now it is time for you to die!" a black ball formed in Leobelia's hands and soon shot out a ray of black power at the troops of men. When the darkness receded back to Leobelia's hands a portion of Theoden's army was gone, nothing remained but dirt.
"As I told you, you will not live through this!" She shouted again and the army of orcs charged at the army of men.
The battle was turning for the worse. The army of Men was out numbered three to one, and they had a powerful sorceress on their side. Things were not looking good.
At the river the leader of the orcs paced back and fourth waiting for the Pirates to reach shore.
"Late as usual, get off your ships you dirty rats!" the orc shouted as the ships came up to the banks.
Instead of Pirates jumping out of the ship, a man, a dwarf, and an elf jumped down onto the ground. The orc laughed as he watched the man run towards him, his laughter soon faded as he watched the green aurora of the undead pour off of the ships also. Soon the troop of orcs that were stationed at the river came running out to the battle field.
Legolas shot his way through the armies of orcs until he came face to face with a woman. Her hair was black and her eyes green, her clothing was much like Leobelia's but colored darker. Her skin was a dark tan color and there were markings of Sauron on her arm.
"Leobelia, is that you?" Legolas walked towards the woman.
"That is my name, but how do you know it?" Leobelia asked as she shoved her dagger through a man that ran toward her.
"Leobelia, it's me! Legolas, don't you remember?" Legolas almost broke into tears to see her on the side of darkness.
"Truthfully, no, but you do look familiar. Maybe I had hoped to kill you and for some reason forgot too. Oh well I guess I will do it now." Leobelia charged at Legolas slicing her daggers at him.
Legolas merely moved out of her grasp, then grabbed her wrist. "Leobelia, I am Legolas, you were once part of a fellowship and you and I were…" Legolas ran out of words. He was not really sure what they were. He knew what he felt about her, but was not sure if she ever felt the same way.
"We were friends, I remember you, and Aragorn, and Gimli." Leobelia's eyes went soft. Legolas smiled and released her arms. "Yeah, I remember how weak you were too!" Leobelia shoved one of her daggers into Legolas's stomach.
The charm around Legolas's neck slipped out of his shirt as he leaned down holding his stomach. The little clear jewel filled with light and suddenly shot a ray of pure energy into Leobelia's heart. As suddenly as it had appeared it disappeared. Leobelia's body fell to the ground, her hair returned to blond and her clothes back to white, gold, and green.
Legolas too fell to the ground; a pool of blood surrounded his body. Aragorn ran over to his fallen her comrade. The war was won and now it was all up to Frodo to destroy the Ring.
Trouble-15: Alright, I hope you like it; I may not change the mistake I made in the last chapter, because I am a little lazy. Alright, review for me. Next chapter will be up soon.
