Chapter Nineteen: The Fall of Mordor
Aragorn had heartened the men of Rohan and Gondor with a rousing speech once they reached the main army. Now, they stood there, waiting for someone to make a move. It turned out to be Aragorn who made the decision. It seemed as if he was going to give up and then he suddenly turned and faced them.
"For Frodo," was all he said before he charged into battle.
The clash of weapons soon became all that was heard. Men fought orcs and trolls, knowing that if they didn't stop this army, their world was gone. The battle was undecided until the screech of the Ringwraiths were heard. But the balance once again tipped. Before the Ringwraiths could wreck havoc onto the small army of men, they were attacked by giant birds, the eagles of whom had their own important part in history.
Kendra looked up briefly to see what they looked like before she returned her attention to the fight. She was using her sword, which she had infused with some of her power, making it quite effective. She had managed to clear a small area around her, for none of the orcs wanted to get near her now. Suddenly, the feeling of ice water being dumped on her made her drop. This time, it wasn't the feeling of a bucket. It was like she was dropped in the ocean. Kendra hit the ground, pain lancing through her. The evil in the air seemed to be drawing on her power, sucking her dry. It wanted to destroy nature and since that was where she drew her power from, it was deadly for her.
Time seemed to slow, for she heard Legolas shouting Aragorn's name and she heard someone shouting her name. The voice saying her name was so familiar but she knew it was impossible. They couldn't be here; her parents would never let her siblings near her. And they couldn't have possibly have followed her here. Kendra went limp suddenly as her power was returned to her. And the fighting around her slowly stopped.
Kendra sat up in time to watch as the orcs and trolls started to flee. A screeching sound filled the air before they heard the sound of stone cracking. When everyone looked, the Eye of Sauron was falling. The power of Mordor was failing. A burst of power shook the very earth they were standing on and the armies of Mordor were swallowed up into the earth, which crumbled under their feet. Cheers were heard all around... Until the volcano exploded. Then everyone went silent.
