We Fly
Three days passed very quickly for Legolas. He was trying to spend the same amount of time with Tári and Aragorn so as not to upset either of them, but more of his time always slipped to Tári. He tried not to let it, but it seemed to slide through his fingers. It didn't help that his relationship with Tári seemed to be getting more serious.
Tári was . . . unexplainable. She would say things that many people would find extremely insulting to Legolas, but he found them funny. He just would say something even worse right back at her. It was a game they played often. Of course, they also kissed often, but they tried not to do it where people could see them. They were both the private type and didn't want rumors floating all over Middle-Earth.
Often when they were kissing Tunidel would pop up with a snide remark that scared the wits out of both of them, Legolas soon learned to be more careful about shutting off his mind so that Tunidel could not talk to him.
There was also the upcoming battle. Legolas and Tunidel were leaving within the hour for Rohan where the eagles had agreed to meet them. At the moment he was double checking his supplies. It seemed that he had everything, but he could not help but feel as if he was leaving something behind. Ah, well, thought Legolas as he mounted Tunidel.
You've got everything, interrupted Tunidel. I've been reading your memories and I can't think of anything that you've missed. You have plenty of extra arrows right?
Yes, said Legolas, and a high quality bow.
Good, said Tunidel, ready to take off?
Legolas' answer was to hunch down over Tunidel's back and kick him into speed. He was in a group of elven fighters, all on horseback and making their way for Rohan at full speed. The ride was not as long as Legolas remembered it, but that might have been because spirit steeds were known for their super fast gallop and the fact that they could persuade even the slowest horses to match their pace. It was very good to have Tunidel along.
Legolas met up with Aragorn and the others at Rohan. The plan was to wait two days to be sure that everyone was here and rested before they left with the eagles. Some people and elves were choosing to ride on horseback to Mordor because they were afraid of heights, or because the horses needed someone to take care of them while they were running. Of course, Tunidel would be down with them, but he would be no use if a horse fell and broke it's leg. That's what the humans were for.
Two days passed quickly and without much trouble. The eagles and more troops arrived on time with more horses and more weapons. Everybody who needed a ride with an eagle was waiting to be chosen, while the elves and humans who were in charge of the horses were leaving. Aragorn, Eomer, Faramir, and Eowyn had all volunteered to help with the horses, while Tári, Legolas, Elladan, Elrohir, and Gandalf were flying with the eagles.
Legolas was chosen by a large brown eagle with sparkling green eyes. "My name's Ingiho," he said.
"Nice to meet you," replied Legolas, as Ingiho picked him up along with another elf and took to the air. The sensation of flying was like nothing that Legolas had ever experienced before. It felt as if nothing could ever go wrong, if nothing else, it was a great confidence booster. Even looking down wasn't that bad. Legolas could see the hundreds of horses that were being led by Aragorn and Eomer, though he couldn't see them, and little houses, and if he looked up, he could see the clouds. They were beautiful, fluffy and pearly and glinting in the sunlight.
It felt like nothing could ever go wrong, but not for long.
Heh, heh. Please review!
