-Part 4-

Stoned Decisions

Rain poured down upon the two men as they ran out through the gates of Rivendell. Their clothes were soaked through, yet confidence and pleasure gave their feet wings.

They had succeeded in their plan.

They would now wait for the ranger, and when the opportune moment came they would cause him to suffer as punishment for what he did. The Elf was no better, and he would get his comeuppance also… if Malazack had his way.

Glorfindel returned shortly after bearing nothing that would give them any information on who, or what they could be dealing with.

Aragorn, who remained un-swayed in his decision to leave with Legolas returned to his room to gather several things that he would need on his long journey to Mirkwood. Because of the broken door, his room was quite cold, so he proceeded to Legolas' room to securely pack away what he had taken from his chambers.

"We will take the shorter way Legolas, and we will not leave Rivendell's boarders until we are forced. After that we will ride hard and fast straight through the forest. I will feel much safer when we are out of the woods. Although I know them well, they easily hide things that are not meant to be found." Aragorn stated as they both packed for their journey.

Legolas looked up from his pack. "Aragorn, you do not have to come if you feel ill protected. I would much rather see you here within Lord Elrond's boarders."

"Legolas, if they were able to reach me that easily what makes you think that I will be safe here?" Aragorn questioned the prince.

"Aragorn, all I am saying is that perhaps walking into the forest, that is perhaps teeming with unknown enemies is a little, how shall I put this… Insane!" Legolas challenged him.

"Well, I'm not going to just sit here and wait for them to kill me while I sleep. I refuse to stay awake through the night on my guard with a sword in my hands!" The Ranger countered Legolas and the Elf sighed.

"Stubborn Human!"

"Nagging Elf!"

The two finished packing in silence until Aragorn finally spoke. "Legolas I can't just wait here, besides I refuse to let you leave alone."

"You are sure that you wish to accompany me? We may not be able to return until after the winter season." Legolas questioned one last time in a final attempt to dissuade the human.

"Legolas, I am going." Aragorn stated flatly ending the dispute.

Again the Elf sighed this time in defeat, and the two walked out of the room to enjoy their last day in the elven haven.

Hopefully this will make the future chapters a little clearer! Reviews please!
