A/N: Hello all I have returned with the second sequel to Healing Guardian! Thanks to all who have supported this series. This will be the end, this fic covers all three movies and will be about 23 chapters! Wow! Big feet for me! This will be based on the movie, I did not want to insult Tolkien's wonderful work. Saying that, I do not own LOTR and never will. Also any mention of the Manyan Stone/Series belongs to Adromir, I have emailed her and gotten her permission once again. If you do not believe me ask her yourself. This is movie verse once again. And I have changed a few things plus added some, ENJOY! - Naur

Determined Guardian

Prologue


"I amar prestar aen…
The world is changed.

I feel it in the water.

I feel it in the Earth.

a han noston ned gwilith.
I smell it in the air.

Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it."

"And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer." Galadriel said.

"My Precioussssssss…" Gollum whispered.

"The Ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him."

"It came to me, my own, my love, my own, my prrrecioussssss!" Gollum hissed.

"The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the east, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But something happened then the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable." She explained.

"What's this?" Bilbo questioned.

"A Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins of the Shire," She said.

"A ring," Bilbo exclaimed.
"Lossssst! My precious is lost!" Gollum cried.

"For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all."

"Take care of him Legolas and make sure to not listen to anything he says. Little bugger can turn your words around before their even out of your mouth, took me a whole month to catch him!" Strider told his best friend.

"I will not fail you mellon nin," Legolas replied looking down at the creature who was moaning on the forest floor.

"Stupid elf rope! It burnsss ussss! Take it off of usssss!" Gollum screamed. The two shared a look before Strider had to leave.

2 months later…

Legolas went silent for a long time after that, staring in deep thought at the sleeping form under the tree. Thranduil began to feel a little restless. "So, what are you thinking now?"

The prince took a deep breath before replying, "Valar help me, for I think Estel is going to kill me for doing this." He met his adar's eyes with full intent. "I'm setting Gollum free." And he did that very thing the next day.

Elvish Translation

Adar – Father

Mellon nin – My friend
