Note: Thanks for the reviews. Most people had no idea what was happening but I will try to explain it in this chapter. Let's begin. Let me know if you want a happy ending or a bad ending.
Nienna blinked, and she blinked again, this could not be, she could see the tent, but how could she see? That was a question that needed answering later when an arm drew her close to a warm body. The babe within her was restless, moving and screaming through the faint bond she still shared with Legolas.
She focussed her attention to the child and said in a voice that caused the child to still it's alarm. "Be silent, I don't want to deal with you right now." She shifted slightly in the warm arms that encircled her and a grin lid her face when she felt the power stream through her.
"Who are you speaking with, there is nobody save me here?" Aragorn's soft voice asked her. She could hear the undertone in his voice, he was content, she turned to face him and found his grey eyes seeking hers out. "Your eyes are black, Legolas and Arwen are not happy with this, not that I care." He kissed her neck.
"To answer your question, I was speaking to my baby, it doesn't seem to be happy with the resent turn of events, so to call it." He stopped kissing her and smiled, locking his eyes with hers. "No, of course not, I wonder how long it will take them to learn that we have taken the power for our own. The power that was seeping through you and me before we even realized the potential of what we can do. It still amazes me to think that Moriethel was the key all along. She was feeding on the power in you, and then she was killed for our power to come to its full potential…" He stopped to take a breath and put a hand over her belly, she could feel the power in him curse through his hand and she looked at his hand, fascinated.
"… the babe in you is good because Legolas is good. He realized that you were good as long as he was good but little did he know that because we were chosen by the Valar, we can taste the power now. That is why she is protesting against my seed running through your system. Unless you disagree?" His thumb stroked the swell of her stomach and she could feel the baby scream in terror when the evil ran through her, until she calmed down, settling into the situation.
"How could I disagree when you explained everything so well. They will try to stop us. Do you think this is a test designed by the Valar?" She pulled him closer, kissing him on the mouth, he pulled away smiling slightly before he answered. "Maybe, they do not mind or so it seems. That image Legolas got about Moriethel becoming a sorcerer but he was so wrong, little did he know that is was you, who would have such a power."
"Arwen will not like it." She stated. He shook his head, anger in his eyes. "The love we shared was from somebody else. I am not longer Aragorn, son of Arathorn, king of Gondor. That changed when I looked into the Palantir, I locked the evil that seeped inside me away but you released me, Nienna, you truly did. I thank you for that." He gave her a heated kiss before he started kissing her neck once again and moved down until his head was resting on her stomach, where the baby was, listening for its heartbeat.
"What is next?' She asked, softly stroking his hair. "I claim you as my queen and we rule the world with a kind hand and make sure nobody opposes us." He answered.
"What about Arwen and Legolas? We bonded to them, did we not?" She grimaced at the word.
"If they behave, they can have each other, while I claim you, my beautiful Elf as my queen, that is if you want to of course." He rested his chin on her stomach, looking up at her, smiling and she smiled back and answered. "Like you did last night?"
"Much more then that, sweetling, much more." He promised, catching her mouth in another hungry kiss.
"They must be possessed to do this." Legolas could hear Gandalf arguing with his father while he struggled to fight his way back to the waken world, he felt weak, but opened his eyes anyway. He blinked to let them adjust to the blinding lights, the light of the sun.
"They are, every living being has some part of evil inside of them, what ever in the name of the Valar has happened on that battlefield, has unleashed that, they think that they are evil, acting that way, but their former selfs are buried under all of that power." Gandalf slowly said.
"Nienna is not evil, nor is Aragorn." Legolas said, it costed him enough energy to say those words but Gandalf's turned around at lightning speed and his father hurried to the bedside. "I know Legolas, underneath all of this, they are not evil but something on that battlefield has unleashed Nienna's powers and Aragorn's as well."
"Why do I feel so weak?" He protested against his father's helping hand. "Surely it must the grief weighting down on me."
Gandalf shook his head and answered. "No, my dear Legolas, I hate to say this but it is not. When you bound yourself to Nienna, you said that as long as you are good so was she, well it worked the other way as well, when she slept with Aragorn, your bond changed and it caused you to become weak. It happened in Gondor as well, I had word from Elrond asking me what in the name of the Valar was happening to his daughter. She collapsed much like you did, she has awoken and they are riding for Eryn Lasgalen as we speak."
"What is Aragorn's next move going to be? Where is he going to strike?" Thranduil asked, shifting his eyes back to Gandalf.
"He is not going to strike. He is still thinking as Aragorn, the Aragorn we all know, the only thing that has changed is that he has chosen Nienna as his rightful queen, thus making your child, most likely his heir."
"How can this be? I bonded with Nienna and Aragorn with Arwen, he cannot do this." Legolas cried.
"No you are right, he cannot. But that does not change the fact that he did choice her and he made her his by right, by the Elven marriage, in the ways of the body." Gandalf gently explained.
"So what is going to happen now?" Legolas sank back in the bed, he could feel something in his stomach, his child was calling out to him. "We will hold a council the moment Elrond and Arwen get here and then we have to think off a way to transform them back to their former selfs, the big question is, will you forgive them both for what they have done or will do?"
Legolas took a deep breath before he answered. "Yes, of course, she is my wife and she carries my child, I do not have a choice but to forgive her. I will forgive Aragorn as well, for what is somebody who does not have any friends left. I love her and I cannot or will not live without her."
"That is settled then, we shall leave you now and let you get some rest." Thranduil softly answered, looking at his son. Legolas nodded abesntmindly to his father and answered before Gandalf exited the room. "Gandalf, can I ask you something?"
Gandalf nodded and stayed, turning around to fully face the Elf lying on the bed. "I can sense my child calling for me, why is it doing that? Why has it not accepted the power that is cursing through its mother's veins?"
Gandalf had a thoughtful look on his features before he sat down on a chair beside the bed and answered. "That is a fair question, indeed, Legolas, one I shall try answer to the best I can. Much like Moriethel was created from the evil out of you and Nienna combined, this child is created from the good of you both, to fight her sister, not that it is needed now. I daresay that this child will combine you and Nienna closer together then ever before, for she will show your wife the path of good and the joys that await her there, should she choice to travel that way. What is it actually that you sense?"
"A moving in the bond between me and Nienna and I can sense the child moving in my stomach. It seems nearly like I am the one pregnant." Legolas softly added. "You do not have to worry about that for you are not. It is common for Elves when their bond is severed to feel their children more closely, including the children that are in the womb. Arwen might be able to tell you the same thing when they get here, which shall be in a week from now."
"Do you think Nienna will realize what she is doing and come to Moriethel's burial?" Legolas's voice quivered when he asked that question.
"I do not think she will make it. The burial is in 2 days, and her body must be given back to the earth, unless you are thinking off sending her to Valinor with the nearest ship. Nienna must realize what she is doing but she is to caught up to know if it is wrong or right. It will come out for the better and you shall have you wife back, Legolas, this I promise you."
Legolas nodded and then rolled onto his side after a quick goodnight to Gandalf. Soon he heard the retreading footsteps of Gandalf leave the room and he listened carefully, hoping they would leave soon. When he was sure nobody would hear him, he stood up and while packing his pack and his spare clothes and weapons, he left out the window.
Making his way to the stables, he saddled up Arod and softly whispered in the horse's ears. "Come, mellon, let us go to Gimli. Ride swift my friend before they find us." With those words rider and horse left Eryn Lasgalen.
