Sequel of my Story Hatred and Revenge
Disclaimer: The characters do not belong to me but to Tolkien. The only characters belonging to me are the ones I created.
Main characters: Aragorn, Legolas, Elladan, Elrohir
Summary: When the ring is destroyed no one would have expected a new evil to rise. Innocent people loose their lives; many villages are burned down before Gondor is able to react. What will Aragorn do if this enemy is stronger than he ever would have expected? How will Legolas deal with the death of a beloved person? The new enemy knows where he could hit them to cause them the greatest pain.
For all the people who didn't read my first story I have written a short summary.

Summary of the first story: Hatred and Revenge
It takes place before Saruman's betrayal is discovered and shortly before the council of Elrond in Rivendell.
Aragorn, Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir are captured by dark elves. The leader Gwaith and his brother Gwann-Agar are created of Morgoth himself. They had tortured other elves in the past to make them evil too; some of them are twisted in mind.
The evil brothers work together with Sauron and bring the four to Dol Guldur, the old residence of Sauron. Gwann-Agar has pleasure in torturing Legolas while his brother Gwaith only wants this order to be done.
Finally, another elf, brought there to collaborate them, kills Gwaith and helps Aragorn, Legolas and the twins to flee. They have to split up. Gwann-Agar, not able to go by himself, sends two of his evil elves after Legolas and Elladan, heading to Lorien, and two after Aragorn and Elrohir, who are heading north.
In the final showdown Legolas and Elladan become engaged in a deadly fight, then are rescued by the elves of Lorien and are brought to their great realm to heal.
Aragorn and Elrohir are rescued by Glorfindel who recognizes the two evil elves as old friends and isn't able to kill them.
After a long and bloody fight the four friends are alive and meet in Rivendell again where Gandalf tells them the truth about the evil elves of Morgoth.
The story ends, but Gwann-Agar is still alive…
I left out the bloody details because it would take too long. I suggest if you love torture, blood and all these cruel little details you just read my first story before you start the sequel… I'm sure it will be a pleasure laughs cruelly and falls of the chair

Part 1
………………………………………………………………
"How do you feel, now that you are the king of Gondor?" Legolas was sitting on the stairs beside Aragorn's' throne. The man looked down at his elven friend, suppressing the upcoming smile. "What?" The questioning look on Legolas face was too much for Aragorn and he burst out laughing. "I just wondered if this is one of these conversations of yours which last a few days without getting an answer for anything." Legolas glared at the man. "You want to be a king? You don't even…"
Legolas stopped speaking, his senses fully alert. With the lightness of elves he stepped down the stairs. Suddenly his world spun, blurring before his sight. The blond elf didn't even notice the words full of worry spoken to him. A scream filled the room. Legolas's world collapsed and pieces of shredded memories danced before his eyes. Then he was greeted by darkness.
"Legolas?" A faint voice broke through his throbbing mind, calling him over and over again. "Legolas!" It was too hard to open his eyes. A warm hand lay on his forehead, giving contrast to the cool floor. "Please wake up." He knew this voice; it belonged to Aragorn. But why was he lying on the floor?
Aragorn shook Legolas slightly until he stirred. A moan escapes the elf's lips, bringing his hands up to cover his head. "What happened? Did you smash my head on the floor?" – "I didn't have to. Suddenly you stood up, looked like a haunted animal and just collapsed on the floor where you still lie. I don't know what happened. but you screamed and talked about things. But you didn't talk to me; it was like you were caught in a memory, talking to another person." Legolas tried to sit up but failed. His head throbbed without mercy. "I remembered things. You were there and the twins. We were in the woods and then it was dark. I was alone… No not alone. There was someone else in the room." Legolas ripped his eyes open. He knew the one in his memory. Suddenly he knew everything. "I saw him. Gwann-Agar. It was the memory of Dol Guldur, when he tried to… " Legolas swallowed hard. Aragorns own memories filled his head and he tried to fight them down. This was nothing he wanted to remember.
"But what caused these memories? They were intense, you screamed. Was there something else?" Aragorn held Legolas shoulders, looking directly in the eyes of the elf. "Yes, there was something different. The memories ended and Gwann-Agar spoke to me. Not only to my person in the memory but to me now. He said he is back. Yes, that was all he said." Aragorn ripped his gaze from Legolas. "Maybe this wasn't just memories but something caused by another person." – "You mean he laid these things in my head for purpose?" – "Yes that is exactly what I think."
Aragorn helped Legolas to stand up. The blond elf tried to bring his spinning world to a halt. He felt for a bump on the back of his head where he hit the floor. It was only a small one and obviously not the cause for his pain.
Suddenly someone opened the door. Aragorn turned around to face the newcomer. It was Eomer and he had a piece of cloth in his hands. "I have to speak with you; I think it's very important." Eomer threw a quick glance at Legolas who stood now beside the king. Aragorn noticed it and knew what it should mean. "You can speak freely, he can stay."
Eomer paused, collecting his thoughts. "Orcs attacked a patrol in the north. They killed all except one with the order to bring this to the king of Gondor." Eomer headed towards the table in the middle of the room and laid the bundle on it. "What is it?" Aragorn did not know what he should expect but he suspected that he wouldn't like it.
"I did not open it before because it is for you." Aragorn eyed the dirty, blood crusted cloth not knowing if he really wanted to know what it contained. The human threw a quick glance to his elven friend. Legolas looked back at him, slightly paler than usual, giving a short nod in agreement. Before Aragorn had completely unwrapped it, both he and Legolas exchanged quick glances. Eomer were looking at them, wondering what had happened. Legolas knew this iron object, this hand with four long sharp blades. "This is the iron hand from Gwann-Agar." It was no question. Legolas felt a cold shiver running through his spine. "Yes it is the same. The knives are slightly broken away but it is the same."
Eomer did not know what they were talking about but he could see that it was a very bad thing. "What does this mean Aragorn?" Elessar turned to face the man. "It happened before the war of the ring, even before we left Rivendell. We were captured, Legolas, my brothers and I. Our capturers were dark elves and one of them enjoyed torturing us, especially Legolas. We could rescue and kill some but a few were still alive. I hoped that they would never come back but it seems as if my hope failed."
There was silence; Aragorn wrapped the cloth around the glove; he did not want to look at it any longer. Legolas was grateful; it was too disturbing to see this old torturing device. "My brothers are still out there arriving in two days. I don't like the idea that there is a crazy elf running through Middle earth." Aragorn glanced at Eomer. "He knows us and he knows where we are. The fact that we have no idea what he wants and what he has planned greatly worries me." – "But we have walls and we still have armed forces. He has nothing but scattered orcs troops."
Aragorn sighed because of the heavy pressure on his heart, but Legolas spoke before he could. "There are still many dark creatures we don't know about, hidden in mountains or caves. The dark elves are very old and I have only a slight idea of the older times out of books. And not everything is written down. Morgoth had many evil creatures. Gwann Agar knows them and he has maybe the power to control them. That is what I fear, his ally." Legolas was serious because he had seen one creature of the older days. Moreover, this one had killed Mithrandir. "I agree with both of you. We have great walls but we have just won a war that was nearly lost, our men are wounded and tired and the walls are destroyed. We are in no state to defend us against a second enemy." Aragorn turned his back against them. "But I fear that his first aim isn't this city. I even think that the people in this city will be at first left unharmed. His first strike will be here." Aragorn pointed at his heart. "We were the reason for his brother's death. I fear what he is able to do with us and with the ones we love. I wish I could help my brothers, they may be in danger."
