Summer Wind

Chapter 12

–3rd POV-

Legolas and Elrohir were in front of Gandalf, fighting the six Uruk-hai's that were not outside. Gandalf turned around, hearing footsteps behind him, and took out his sword seeing three more Uruk-hai's. He pushed aside the spear of the Uruk-hai and with his staff, smacked the Uruk-hai in the face, and moving to the next one, pushing his sword through the creature's stomach.

"Magdalena!" Elrohir yelled, punching the Uruk-hai in front of him. "Magdalena! Where are you!"

As the last Uruk-hai fell dead, the group of three started running down the hall, Elrohir continuing to call for Magdalena. They were half way down the hall when they suddenly stopped. In front of them stood Deachir hooded, looking at the group. His face was covered in dark shadow but his eyes glowed.

"Deachir!" Gandalf yelled disgusted, walking forward. "Where is she?"

"That is not of your business, Wizard!" Deachir growled, his eyes glowing a dark red.

"I'll kill you if you done anything to harm her!" Legolas yelled, narrowing his eyes dangerously.

"You cannot kill me! No one can kill me!"

"There is one person, and you know of whom I speak of." Gandalf said in a deadly low voice, his anger rising.

Even though they could not see it, Deachir had the look of fear, as his muscles tensed.

"She does not know who she is! She does not know how to use her power! Or even know she has any!" Deachir laughed. "Besides, you will not be able to leave here with her. For she will bear me a child, and is now bond with me!"

Both Elorhir's and Legolas' aurora's flared a dark red around all of them, as they knew the worst happened.

"Let me kill him, Gandalf! Let him pay for taking Magdalena away from Mirkwood!" Elrohir growled, taking a step forward, his eyes blazing in anger.

But Gandalf held out his staff in front of Elrohir, stopping him. "No! Let me handle him myself."

Deachir laughed, "you think you have the strength and power as I do, Wizard!" Deachir's eyes glowed a golden color, "will, think again! Freora!"

Fire rose from the ground and around Gandalf and Deachir. Holding out his left hand, a dark blood red staff appeared, almost looking black. Deachir gripped the staff in both of his hands.

"You will die tonight, wizard!" Deachir charged forward, as Gandalf did the same.

Their staffs made contact, the echo bouncing down the halls loudly.

"Get out of here! Find Magdalena!" Gandalf yelled, as the two Elves ran around the fire and down the hall.

"They won't find her, Wizard! Something is waiting for them and it will kill them!" Deachir pushed Gandalf back and swung his staff quickly, knocking Gandalf to the floor.

The two Elves continued to yell for Magdalena in hope of her responding. But nothing but their echoed voices were heard in the empty hall. When they turned a corner, at least a dozen Uruk-hai's stood there, waiting for them. In quick instinct, both Elves put away their swords and quickly took out their bow and an arrow, letting it go to the first couple of Uruk-hai's. Half fell down dead, as the rest charged forward. Putting away their bows, Elrohir took out twin slimmed swords, as Legolas took out twin daggers and charged forward.

It only took them a few minutes to kill the Uruk-hai's and run down the hill in search of Magdalena. They yelled at the top of their lungs, in hopes she could hear them. But both Elves quickly stopped and almost slipped, as they turned around to hear a familiar scream.

"Elrohir! Legolas! I'm in here!"

–Magdalena 1st POV-

I heard Elrohir's and Legolas' voices echoing through the hall outside of the door. I shook my head, thinking it was only my imagination, that I only wanted to leave this fucking place, which I do. But I heard their voices getting closer, and I put my arms over my head.

'I'm going insane! They're not here! They're not here!'

But their voices only grew closer. I sat up as best as I could, pain going through my lower body and up. I winced, but concentrated on the voices.

"Magdalena!"

"Magdalena!"

Those were Elrohir's and Legolas' voices! And they just past by my door. Not caring about the pain, or how I was running funny, I ran towards the door, screaming at the top of my lungs.

"Elrohir! Legolas! I'm in here!"

I reached the door and literally ran into the door. But I just banged my right fist on the door, as I tried to wrench open the handle with my left. I hoped they didn't run too far. So I started to scream once more.

"Elrohir! Legolas! Get me out of here! Please!"

I felt tears of joy and fear run down my cheeks. I banged the door as hard as I can.

"Elrohir! Legolas!"

"Magdalena!"

I heard both Elves scream my name at the same time. I knew they were in front of the door.

"It's locked from the outside! I don't know if he has the key or not!" I yelled, crying harder. "Get me out of her! Please!"

"We're going to break down the door! Get back Magdalena!" Elrohir yelled.

I ran halfway into the room and turned around just as both Elves slammed against the door, breaking it down. The both of them stumbled forward and looked up at me with a sympathetic and anger. But then they didn't go as far as my chest. They both blushed and looked away, but I didn't care. I only cried and ran towards them. I slammed right into Elrohir, putting my arms around his neck, crying so hard, my whole body shook. Elrohir put something on my shoulders, then put a hand on the middle of my back and behind my knees, picking me up.

But I didn't take my face away from his chest, in fear of seeing those ugly creatures or that Elf once more.

"She needs healing! We must leave now."

I heard Legolas say, and they started running out of the room I was caged in. I heard Elrohir say soothing things in Elvish, but I couldn't calm down until we were out of this damn castle. My only response to Elrohir was my arms tightening around his neck in fear of him being only a dream. Though, I felt safe, knowing Legolas and Elrohir did come for me and not abandon me. I felt Elrohir suddenly stop and a cold chill ran down my spine, making look up and my fear rising to it's maximum.

–3rd POV-

Legolas and Elrohir stood their ground, not knowing what to think or do. Magdalena whimpered in fear, Elrohir holding her tightly. In front of them, floating above the ground, was Hitrother. His black scaly body, and four black claws were as big as the hall itself, and that's saying something for the whole castle was so huge. The bottom of Hitrother's body moved in a circle, as his head stayed in place, it's dark red, almost black, eyes glared at Magdalena. His eyes then moved to Elrohir and Legolas, just noticing them.

"You will not leave here, Dinenwen. For you are bound to my master, Deachir."

Magdalena shook her head, "no. You're lying, you son of a bitch!"

Hitrother laughed. "Oh, but I am not lying. I know of what Deachir has done to you. And because of it, you will bear a child of his, bounding to him here."

Magdalena gaped at the dragon in front of her, tears in her eyes, her heart hammering against her rib cage.

"No. No!" She whispered, not able to believe it.

"Oh, but it is true. Now come forth, Dinenwen. Let us become one!"

Somehow, Magdalena was being pulled by some unknown string, but Elrohir didn't dare let go. The two only held onto each other tightly, Elrohir trying to stay put.

"You cannot stop Dinenwen from her destiny!" Hitrother yelled, his eyes glowing darkly.

"No I cannot! But this is not her destiny!" Elrohir yelled, as he was flipped onto his back, knocking the wind out of him.

Magdalena was then wrenched out of his grasp, her screaming making him quickly jump up to grab her. Legolas grabbed her waist, trying to hold on to her. But Legolas was also flipped back, knocking Elrohir in the process. Magdalena's screams were then muffled, as both Elves looked up to see the girl they both love trapped inside a clear black crystal. Magdalena pounded on the glass, crying.

"Let her go!" Elrohir yelled, standing up with Legolas.

"It will soon be too late. I will be reborn into her child. And I will walk on this world once more!"

The crystal started to swirl, but Magdalena stayed in the same place, not knowing what to do. Soon, Magdalena was falling to her knees, her eyes dropping. Legolas and Elrohir took out their bow and let go a few arrows, but the arrows did nothing to Hitrother. He merely laughed, his two claws on the side of the crystal. Both Elves could see the life sucking out of Magdalena, and her skin paling quickly.

"I will have the power of those above. And nothing will stop me now."

–Gandalf-

Both Gandalf and Deachir were bruised and lips busted. They were both panting, waiting for the other to attack.

"You have strength, I'll admit that Wizard."

"As you are a fool to fight me, Deachir!"

Deachir laughed, "it will be over soon. Do not worry."

Gandalf glared at him and charged forward. Deachir continued to laugh and charge forward as well, both their staffs hitting each other. They pushed off each other, Gandalf staring at Deachir sternly, his eyes flaring in anger and disgust.

"Give it up Wizard! There can only be one weapon that can kill me, and you do not have it!" Deachir thrust his staff forward, sending Gandalf to his back a few feet from where he was standing before.

Deachir walked towards the White Wizard, his staff still in front of him. "You will no longer be in my way of ruling all woodlands once more, Wizard."

Gandalf strained to get up from the hold Deachir had. "No... It is you who will not be in my way, nor in any other's way! Arato."

Deachir was thrown back by a blinding white light, as Gandalf stood up. In his left hand was a fairly long sword, the blade pure white with ancient design near the hilt. Gandalf walked forward, Deachir eyeing the sword fearfully.

"No! You cannot have it! I have hidden it for centuries!"

"I had the pleasure of stumbling my way accidently into it's hiding place Deachir! Now, feel the power of Cesuilla, from which was forged by Paloseil himself!"

"No!"

–Hitrother-

"What are we going to do! Our attacks wont kill him!" Legolas said worriedly. "We need Gandalf."

Elrohir shook his head, "no." Legolas looked at the Elf next to him confused. "We need for Dinenwen to wake up." Legolas' eyes widen and stared up at Magdalena's still formed. "We need her to wake her powers up. It is the only way for us to defeat both this dragon, Hitrother, and Deachir once and for all."

"But how?" Legolas asked.

"I do not know." Elrohir said worriedly.
