Disclaimer: I don't own anyone. I guess I sort of own the Rhunian's but the place I 'invented' them from is on the map of Middle Earth so neh, they can belong to Tolkien if he wants. Legolas may seem slightly OOC but that'll only be for the first few chapters.

Why Do We Fight?
Chapter Two, Brayean
"Where is Kaiya?"
"..."
"What happened?"
"He was hit by arrows my Prince."
"And you left him. Will he talk?"
"He is my brother my Prince, he will never tell them anything...not even his name."
"Good, now give me what you managed to find."
Brayean sat in his room, a room that he usually shared with Kaiya. He should have stopped, he should have helped his brother. You would have been captured too! A voice in his head snapped. At least then Kaiya wouldn't be alone, he's probably terrified and in pain. I've abandoned him, I promised mum on her death bed that I'd look after him. He told the voice (himself) sadly. Be glad it's him and not you! Brayean couldn't and wouldn't do that. Slowly he lay on his bed and allowed himself to be swallowed by dreams.
"It has been decided by the royal family that the propsed rescue mission for our men held captive by the Mirkwood bastards is not to take place. It risk's too much for a few men and women," Prince Alamaran said calmly to the group. Brayean stiffened trying to hold back his anger. "The loss of these captives is expendable and will not effect the rest of our plans, now onto more important matters..."
"You speak as though they are worth nothing!" Dimly Brayean realised that was his own voice cutting off the Prince. "They risked their lives on your fool-hearty mission's and now you abandon them to torture and death?"
"Do not argue with me soldier," Alamaran warned.
"You've just told me that my brothers life is expendable and now you tell me not to react this way? Well sorry your highness but that's bullshit! I don't care if i go alone but I am going to atleast try and rescue them, they deserve that at least." Some of the other men in the room were nodding.
"I will have you court-marshalled the moment you return!" the Prince snapped.
"If I return you highness, I may die," with that Brayean left the room, 2 others following him.
"We'll help Bray, we'll go with you," one said.
"Thanks Myn, Jit," Brayean said, touching Myneta and Jitan's shoulders. "We go as soon as we've packed."
The trio crept threw the woods until they reached the palace wall which they scaled easily, landing on the other side with slight thuds. They stealily crept their way through the palace gardens, then inside. Bumping into guards only once they dealt with them swiftly before going down to the dungeons.
"You will answer my questions!" a voice shouted from inside one room.
"No I will not!" the voice that answered was very familiar.
"Kaiya," Brayean gasped. The three peered through the barred window on the door in time to see Mirkwood's King nod to a guard who starting winding a winch. They watched as the cage with Kaiya in was lowered to the water.
"Tell me why you were sent here!" Legolas ordered. Kaiya was standing in his cage, too worried about the water rising to his knees to answer the King.
"Legolas you don't need to do this," a man with dark brown hair said awkwardly.
"It will make him talk, it alway's makes them talk," Legolas answered him coldly.
"Legolas he's just a boy!" another man with slightly red hair snapped. Kaiya wastrying to climb up the bars as the water reached his waist.
"Tell me how large Rhunian's army is!" Legolas demanded. Kaiya gave a small cry of fear as the cage continued to lower. "Tell me!"
"That's it," Brayean muttered, pulling out his long knives. The other two copied. "Now!" He kicked the door open and they charged in. Myn took out the guard on the winch, Jit the other 2 while Brayean threated Legolas and the two men. "Winch him up!" Myn did as he was ordered.
"Brayean!" Kaiya gasped happily. Brayean smiled and put one of his knives close to Legolas's throat while Jit disarmed the three of them. Myn locked off the winch and took the keys off the dead guard, opening the cage. "Jit it's good to see you!" Kaiya cried, hugging his brothers friend.
"What are we gonna do with them Bray?" Jit asked.
"I'm sure the Prince won't court-marshall us if we return with the Prince of Mirkwood," Brayean said gleefully. Jit and Myn chuckled as Myn pulled out some rope from his pack. "But who are these humans? Kaiya?"
"I don't know, but they helped me. They treated my arrow wounds," Kaiya said.
"So they are on our side?" Brayean asked.
"I don't think they have a side," Kaiya answered.
"Who are you?" Brayean asked them.
"I am Ellessar, King of Gondor and this is Faramir, King of Rohan," Aragorn said calmly as their hands were bound tightly infront of them.
"Three King's huh? I smell a promotion!" Brayean laughed.
"If you think you are going to get away with this you are very much mistaken. GUARDS!" Legolas shouted...only to be punched in the face so hard he tumbled to the ground.
"Gag him would yah, he's annoying as hell," Brayean said calmly and Kaiya, wanting a little revenge ripped the bottom of his shirt, still wet with the dirty water and tied it around Legolas's mouth as a gag. Legolas ctried to speak only to cringe majorly at the fowl taste of the gag. "Right, grab one each would yah, I'll take him and we'll get out of here as quick as we can."
A/N There we go, chapter two. Just so you know the water probably had like mold and stuff in it so pity Legolas and Kaiya! Flame if it's crap, which it is but I've been advised by my friends to try and think possitive...it's not working.
