Dragon's Rage

By Krystal Fox alias Youkiyra Solar

Krystal Fox: To bein with the typical sunny day and turn it into a horrible depressing day.

Legolas: Why do you do that ?

Krystal Fox: Because I like to..

Legolas: I really don't like your evil mind.

Glorfindel: Well You're not the one that had to have skunk spray all over yourself.

Krystal Fox: I do not own any of the Lord of the Rings characters. I own the charcters that I made up. SO let's begin the story.

Chapter 2 Disasters

The Spring Festavil was beautiful. Legolas sat in the middle of the activities, young elf maids running around with spring flowers, young boys wrestling, racing and playing swords.

Legolas laughted as Aragorn was taken advatange of as two boys tackled him and began to mercilessly tickle him.

The sun shone beautifully this day, for today was the beginning of Spring. Flowers were everywhere, it made the whole valley look alive. The twins were indulging themselves in strong Noldor wine and playing jokes on Glorfindel everychance they got.

All this activities reminded Legolas of his royal duty and all the parties and such he had to attend at home. He hated formal royal parties and this reminded him too much of those, uncomfortable in all the activity, he quietly slipped out not noticing a young Noldor maid follow him.

He went to the archery field, there he took out the bow his mother had made for him before she died.

It was created out of Rosewood and larch, had designs that signafied his birth and who his mother was, stars (When he was born) leaves (For his name sake) and ancient elven signs of his family and royal birth.

Thwack. Thwack. Thwack. Legolas Started to shoot, absorbing all the nature was telling him. The trees were speaking among themselves waking up from "Bed-time" (Winter) Dressed in his usual green clothes he blended with the leaves and almost disappeared if it weren't for his bright golden hair.

Like and eagle seeing it's prey, legolas knew exactly where, when and how to shoot at the target infront of him. As he concentrated he became one with the forest, feeling everything within the woods.

The traveling deer, raccon washing at a stream, and a Fox and it's Vixen going to the den, then a small moving object behind him coming towards him. Falling out of the concentration turned and saw the daughter of Elrond's chief guard coming towards him.

"Young maid, why do you leave the festivities?"

"I saw you leave and wanted to ask if you could teach me how to dance." she said very shy.

"Why me? Will not your family or any member of Elrond's family teach you?"

"Elrond's sons are all clumsy and they mess up in their dances all the time, Estel said that maids everywhere are privildeged to dance with you, for you are graceful like the air itself."

"Well," Legolas said thinking about what was said, then joking appeared in his eyes, "What would you give me in return?"

The girl evidently surprised looked around then down at her hands, "I can give you this flower crown."

"That is sufficent enough. Let the lessons begin."

He put his weapons back into their cases and put them on and bowed to her taking her hand, showed her step by step the way to dance. Soon she was having a wonderful time, only making misstakes once in awhile.

"I would say that you are ready to dance infront of others now." Legolas said leading her towards the dance floor in the festivities.

She blushed and followed. Legolas wearing the flower crown treated this girl like she was royalty.

As they arrived at the dance floor Legolas bowed and took her hand going onto the floor with Flower Crown on head and an elf in his arms that was over less then his age. The twins and Aragorn had to do a double take because they had never seen Legolas dance. After dancing with the young girl who immediately went to her friends to talk what it was like to dance with royalty he had become a favorite among the dancers, all the girls wanted to dance with him, even Arwen danced with him. They both laughed as twice the Evenstar of her People tripped while trying to keep up with the difficult steps Legolas was doing.

Then tired of dancing went and sat down by a tree a flagon of wine in his hand. Glorfindel sat down beside him , he too had been a favorite among the lady dancers.

"Your majesty i neve knew you had that side to you."

"Neither did I, usually I hate dancing because all they want is to dance with the "Prince" not Legolas. That young maid only wanted to dance with Legolas." Legolas said calmly.

As the minutes passed Legolas brought out his hand-made flute and played a haunting tune that made Glorfindel remember when he had fought with the Lord of the Balrogs.

FlashBack:

They were traveling away from the home they loved to get away from Morgoth's forces. They were too few to defeat Morgoth if they tried. Glorfindel was considered very honorable and he was going to be married the next spring to a young maid of the court. His people of the Golden Flower were traveling to lothlorien where safety was.

He was at the back of the line guarding, as he urged his fellows on he saw a Balrog creeping upon the weaker of the line. Glorfindel had charged into action taking his sword charged the balrog, the Balrog seeing him had gone into defense pose.

When the two met he could feel the heat of the Balrog dripping off it. His body gave off excess sweat and they had now appeared on the edge of a cliff. His people finally saw what he was doing. At the last moment Glorfindel stabbed inward getting the Balrog Lord in the Heart, he began to fall over the cliff, at a last desparate try the Balrog had grabbed his long golden hair. He had fallen with the Balrog and supposedly died. But in fact the Higher in Powers knew his purpose in life had not finished so over 1,000 years before had replaced him onto Middle Earth. Sadly his beloved was already gone to the Grey havens.

End of Flash Back.

Glorfindel stood and left memories invading his mind that he so longed to just forget.

As the day was slowly leaving to an endan elven guard came riding into Rivendel. His horse going slow so it's master would not fall off. Radur was his name, he leaned over his horse in great pain. He arrived in the courtyard entrance, too tired to get off just sat there.

Legolas, Aragorn and the twins were merrily singing and walking along the path back to their rooms.

"Oh where are you going, Your ponies need shoeing , No knowing No knowing what brings Mr. Baggins and Dwaling and Balin..."

"Whos elssay waas theare?" Elohir said very drunk slurring his words.

"Who cares they were just stupid dwarves anyway, oh and one hobbit." Legolas said still very sober (He thought that Rivendel's wines were very weak, compared to the usual that he drank.)

They walked along the cobblestones laughing and joking. They came to the courtyard and saw the guard on a horse.

"Greetings yonder guard! What fares with you?" Estel called out.

As he said this the elf fell offthe horse on to his back revealing blood dripping down his face and his tunic stained red. Ellandan immediately went dashing to the elf, (He had more of his father's healing skills) took a knife and ripped open the tunic to start right away to care for the wounds. After ripping the tunic it revealed claw scratches over his crest and a deep woundin his side.

"Estel, get Ada, NOW!!" he commanded at his gaking brother. Legolas went over to the nervous horse and began to talk with it in elvish comforting it that it's master was going to be all right. Elohir went to aid his brother the best that he could, though not much in his drunken state.

A scurry of footsteps came to the courtyard, Elrond with his son and Glorfindel.

"What happened here?" Elrond asked kneeling down.

"We don't know. All we did was walk in here and find Radur. He should have been returning with is scouts, but only he was here." Ellandan said very worried.

Elrond motioned for his sons to carry Radur inside. When they got him to the healing room radur was waking up.

"Lord...Lord Elrond...Orcs..."Radur spurted out trying to speak.

"Shh. Quiet. Rest radur. When you feel better you will tell us all what happened."Elrond said moving about caring for his friend's wounds, at teh moment working on hsi temple wound.

"No not time...Orcs are multiplying...They come from Morgoth's holes, caves in his old Fortress. I escaped with with my life and these wounds they never...Lord Elrond if we don't act now we will loose our homes." Radur said his voice gaining strength the more he talked. "These orcs are like men. They stratagize, plan and carry out. They have the power with his help to destroy everything we know."

"Who is He?" Glorfindel asked picking that up.

"Who else, the last Balrog left in all Middle earth. He is why my companions do not come with me." radur said looking sad as he spoke those words.

Elrond looked stunned. Aragorn and legolas had disturbed looks on their faces, Glorfindel looked thougthful. The wearied Lord went back to his work, this news heavy on his mind. That night Rivendel was at a tensenes, as a calm before a storm.

The next day the four friends met in the garden, they all looked worried but for Legolas for these kind of life threatening things he had to deal with his whole life.

"Only thing that could help us is if we look for those dragons. We truly need their help now." the youngest elf there commented. (Elohir)

"But would the council approve?" Aragorn pointed out.

They heard a crunching sound of grass turning saw Lord Elrond tired and worn out. He had black under his eyes and a few more worry lines had appeared. "Young ones, I spoke with the council early this morning and we all agree that the time has come to again look for help by the way of an old alliance...Simply GO find those dragons and save our homes and lives." with that he turned and left tears in his eyes, thinking of how if they never returned, that would break his heart.

They set about to get the tings they needed. Legolas went to retreive their horses, two black ones (the twin's) a brown one (aragorn's) and a pale yellow horse his own. Estel went to get the food and king's foil herbs for emergencies, and the twin's went to gather blankets and weather-proof hooded capes. Then having gathered all the supplies they needed packed it upon their horses and left.

Crossing the river North of Rivendel Estel looked back at the flower covered walls adn the beautiful houses inside those walls that he called his home. Quiet they rode their horses moving along, througth the trees and fields heading towards Bree then onto Hobbit town where they would arrive in the Northern Wasteland.

In sight of the Bree town gate they heard quick horse steps coming from behind them, looking saw the shiny white horse Asfaloth, Glorfindel's horse, and the Lord of the Golden Flower himself riding him.

"What are you doing this way Glorfindel?" Legoals asked.

"Elrond wanted me to make sure you didn't do anything stupid so he sent me along to watchout for you. Not that I want to but I still want my torture dummies alive when I get to torture them." Glorfindel said directing the last part toward the twins. (They did not know that he knew who the Balrog was that lead the evil forces.)

The riders dismounted pulled thier hoods up and prepared to enter Bree for the night.

They had a mission. They ahd to find the dragons' who could change shape.

Krystal Fox: I hoped you liked this second chapter, I will try and update again as soon as possible.I am still creating the plot so this next chapter might take awhile longer, as I contemplate what I can create for the story.

Glorfindel: I sure hope You aren't planning on killing me.

Krystal Fox: You never know you might slip off your horse one day and crack your head open.

Glorfindel: That's just great, I get to live in suspense as the authoress decides whether to kill me or not. (sarcastically) My life couldn't be better.
