Legolas argued with himself on what to tell her, they were never "really" together. But he knew she had feelings for him because he was the only elf she had come in contact with in years. But she did not remember him, he was not sure how he would get her memories back, but he would deal with the matter at hand first.
"Leobelia…it was me, you and I had grown close over the last few weeks, guess from being around each other. But I am not telling you that you have to remember, but I would really like to go back to the way we left off before….before I lost you." Legolas's eyes seemed to become glazed with tears because his vision blurred, and the angel in front of him seemed to disappear.
Leobelia looked at the elf in front of her, she could tell he was not lying, and that he did deeply care. She gently placed her hand on the side of his face, his skin was warm and soft. When their eyes connected she could feel her stomach turn into butterflies, and a warm, tingly feeling shoot up her spine.
"Legolas, I don't know why but I believe you. For some reason I remember loving some one but not who they were. I really wish I could get my memory back, but I guess for now I will have to work with what I have." she smiled and leaned up and tenderly kissed him.
The kiss lasted for about three minutes, both of them lost in a dream and never wanted to leave it. When they did break Leobelia wrapped her arms around his stomach and buried herself into his chest. Legolas enclosed her into his arms and rested his head on top of hers. Legolas closed his eyes and rocked Leobelia back and forth in his arms. A diminished laugh came from Legolas's chest where Leobelia giggled as Legolas slid his hands across her sides.
After about ten minutes of laughing and delight they were called into the main hall for a meeting. Lobelia walked out and groaned with unhappiness as she was dragged from her dream.
"Frodo is now in Mordor, but he will need a distraction to allow him to actually get into Mount Doom." Gandalf walked away from a window that faced Mordor.
"Well then lets make Sauron focus his eyes on something else, like an army from Gondor?" Leobelia smiled. She may not have had he memory but she knew a lot about war.
"That is a good idea, but Sauron will expect an attack." Gandalf tried to reason.
"Well it is the only thing we can do for Frodo." Aragorn smiled and looked at Leobelia who smiled in return.
The horses and men were gathered and Gondor assembled a force to attack Mordor. As they rode Leobelia stayed quite. Her mind drifted from one thing to another as she tried to put her memory back together. The kiss that she had given to Legolas had triggered another memory in her mind, the one of him. She remembered meeting him when they were in a beautiful place surrounded by waterfalls and forest. Then again when he was comforting her in a rocky plain. After that the memories got fuzzy again. She was not sure why she was traveling, she figured it was to help destroy the Ring.
"Legolas, can I talk to you?" Leobelia rode over to Legolas and Aragorn.
"Yes, of course," Legolas smiled and pulled away from Aragorn's side, "what is it you wish to tell me?"
"Well…I would like to know….what I am. You know, am I an elf or a women, I don't even remember my own race." Leobelia looked down at her horses back. She felt ashamed she had to be such a burden to him, always pulling him and the others down because of something she could not remember or understand.
"You are half elf, and half sorceress." Legolas smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Thank you, I guess I thought I needed to know." Leobelia smiled at him when she felt his hand on her cheek.
"Well I believe you do, maybe you will still be able to use your power." Legolas smiled and continued to the front, Leobelia followed.
The black gates of Mordor sent a shiver down Leobelia's spine as they approached. She recognized the place and features for some reason. As the army stopped Leobelia continued her way to the front. She rode her horse next to Legolas's and looked forward at the gates. The air around was thick and smelled like ash. The ground was black, like the gates, and there was no trees or vegetation at all in sight, even to Leobelia's elfish eyes. The horses seemed restless and moved under their rides. Aragorn was the first to move. He rode up to the gates and looked up at the gates. Leobelia kicked her horse in the sides and rode to Aragorn's side and yelled to the gates.
"If you want a fight you will get it, so come out cowards!" her voice echoed through the valley surrounding the gates. She looked forward when she heard the ground beneath them rumble and the gates creak.
Aragorn grabbed Leobelia's arm and pulled her to move back to the troops, Leobelia complied. As soon as they reached the army of Gondor they gates fully opened and revealed a larger army then anyone had ever seen. Millions of orcs grunted and growled as they lined up to attack. Leobelia could feel her stomach twist and her hands gripped the horse's reins. She did not fear death, but what the orcs would do to her when they did not kill her.
The battle did not take long to start, the orcs charged at the group of men surrounding them with little effort. They out numbered the army of men but one hundred to one and they knew it. The eye of Sauron shifted to watch the men fall at his front door. The eyes found who it was looking for, Leobelia. It focused on her until she looked back at it.
Leobelia stood in the middle of a group of orcs when she looked to see if Sauron's gaze had moves from the mountain. When she looked up her eyes widened and her breath cut short, memories rushed back into her head, pain shot down her back from an old scar. Fear took over her body and she fell to her knees. She struggled to fight the hold Sauron had on her body, she fought to regain control and breath, she fought and failed.
Legolas looked around to see where Leobelia was at. When he looked at a group of orcs just standing in a circle he knew it was either Aragorn, Gimli, or Leobelia. He quickly reared his horse into the air and made a path over to the orcs killing all others in his path. When he finally reached them he could see Leobelia, she was staring at some distant object and she was struggling to breath. Legolas quickly shot the orcs around her and jumped off his horse and ran over to her. When he looked to see what she was looking at he realized she had been paralyzed. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her until her gaze fell to him, she gasped for breath rapidly and coughed.
"Leobelia, do not look at him, please, stay with me!" Legolas yelled to try to keep her attention.
"Legolas, thank you so much!" Leobelia fell into his chest and closed her eyes to rest.
Legolas loaded her onto his horse and continued to fight. He kept Leobelia in front of him and placed a shield over her body to keep any arrows from hitting her.
The battle was won when the ground under the orcs began to fall taking the orcs with it. The land of Mordor was brought down into the depths of hell.
