Hello again! I was extremely happy when I got some reviews, so here are the responses:

Deana: Don't worry, they'll be in trouble soon enough:)

invisigoth3: You never know who's gonna make more trouble, the trip, or the people on the trip:) Thanks for reviewing!

classacte: Glad you like it!

I think I'm going to be updating every Saturday, so, again, I'll try to keep up!

On with Chapter 2...

Chapter 2

Estel, Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir waved goodbye to Imladris. They traveled south until evening, then they set up camp next to a small and shallow lake. As they were eating supper, Legolas noted Estel's disturbed expression.

"What bothers you mellon-nin?" Legolas questioned.

"Nothing Legolas, what makes you ask?"

"Estel, clearly something is bothering you."

"Aye, he's right." added Elladan.

"For once." Elrohir mumbled a little to loudly.

"I heard that Imladris rat! So, you wish to declare war with the Mirkwood Prince?" Legolas mock-glared.

"Indeed, you are no match for us 'Prince'" Estel brightened as he threw a stick a Legolas.

"I am appalled that you would do such a thing 'friend'" answered Legolas ducking. He quickly returned the throw.

"Elrohir, assist me!" Elladan called as he gathered small pinecones and sticks.

Elrohir quickly nodded and helped him. Meanwhile, Legolas copied the idea and gathered pinecones with haste.

"Ah-ha! Take that Mirkwood scum!" Elrohir tried to hold back a smile as he threw a pinecone at Legolas.

The pinecone bounced off of the prince's head causing him to lose slight balance. Not seeing this, Estel threw an acorn at Legolas. The elf was not excepting this and stumbled backwards, tripping over a root. Legolas toppled straight into the lake nearby.

Quickly, the twins and Estel rushed to help the sopping elf out of the water.

"Legolas?" Elladan wasn't sure if the elf was laughing or coughing.

"Legolas please forgive us!" said Elrohir

"I could never hold anything against you mellyn-nin!" grinned the soaked elf.

After drying off the poor elf, the group settled in for the night.


" You summoned me, my lord"

"Yes, the Dark Lord Sauron has a task for you." hissed the Mouth of Sauron.

"Anything for my master."

"As I'm sure you know, Sauron has been looking for a way to dispose of the elves." saying the word as if it had a foul taste.

"What is the task appointed."

This was said with such impatience that the Mouth of Sauron was angered. "You will learn respect for those of authority!" the Mouth of Sauron snarled with distaste.

"Yes, my lord."

"Now, Sauron has recently desired to wipe out Rivendell, this 'hidden refuge'. The dark master wants you to take this and contaminate the water there."

"What will it do?"

"This is Mordollwen. If any elf drinks it, it will slowly tear away at their stomach causing extreme pain. There is no cure. If any elf swallows Mordollwen, they are doomed to die within the week. Go now, do as Sauron commands, or suffer his terrible wrath."

"I will do as he has commanded."

"Good" an evil smile crept on the Mouth of Sauron's face as he watched the soon to be murderer prepare to leave."Good."
