Chapter 4 Truths to be found

A young girl lay beneath a yellow willow tree, her green eyes sparkling. She smiled down at the village below her then laid her head down and slowly her eyes closed and she dreamed.

She saw six figures walking beside horses, two were obviously elves and the others humans. They were talking or rather discussing about something in the dirt. Then the two golden haired elves went silent and seemed to silently be speaking to the other elf, knowing glances. One of the elves looked familiar but she couldn't place where that she had seen before. Then the dream turned violent, it changed to two dark haired elves that looked much alike, and they were surrounded by earth-filth and were hurt by the earth-filth and rendered helpless. She then woke with a start, she rarely had evil frightening dreams but her dreams always came true so she stood, the green silk dress flowing about her and sped quickly down the slope towards the village.

Past gardens and house children and women who were humans and elves, all wore reds and blues, grays, browns and blacks but this girl running through the street was the only green clothed one among all the other colors.

"Father! Father!" The girl called. At the sound of her voice a tall blue dressed male elf appeared from a simple house.

"Kakiaravthonia what is the matter?" He only used her real name when he was worried.

"Father I had another dream about those strangers. This time the dark elves were attacked by earth-filth and hurt, we must do something for my dreams always come true!!!" In her voice a cry of desperation.

"Oh Kakia (for short of her name) listen to me, you know the rules of the village no one is to leave the village for we live alone and thus no one bothers us." Her blue-eyed father said to her putting his left hand up on to her shoulder revealed two silver bands that sparkled in the light.

Kakia sighed, "Alright father, well since we can not help them I am going to seek Nacheskationith (Nancheska for short) in the woods."

She said a resigned tone to her voice. She turned and walking slowly disappeared into the nearby woods.

Rafethiledianidith (Rafeth) watched as his grandchild disappeared sadly into the woods. She was never wrong in her dreams. Even though she looked young she was thousands upon thousands of years old. He had nearly lost her mother once so many years to a trap in Greenwoods forest he would not risk his daughter again. For some reason a rare thing happened his daughter and granddaughter we both green dragons almost exactly the same but just recently Marithtin (his daughter) had died so he was morning her death, it was more like she was murdered.

Going inside his brother Elithdriondan (Short Elith) spoke.

"Brother you can't forbid her forever not to see the world she so wants to see. She is a free spirit she will be the most powerful of us all. She inherited the power of 6 green dragons why do you hurt her by forbidding her to do things for the good of (Dragon's name for Middle Earth) Crusted Earth?" His blue-gray eyes with concern in them.

Rafeth looked sad and said, "Elith I let my wife go anywhere she wanted to and she got killed by earth-filth. Then I let marith do the same and lost her, do I want the same to happen to my only grandchild, no. Even if it means I must take her away pleasures that others have." With that he went back to working on the carving he had been creating for the headboard of a friend nearby.

Kakia was so mad. How could her grandfather restrict her from the only joy she wanted to have in live, to explore? She hated being cooped up in the small area that her grandfather had given her to wander in. Even her best friend had more free space then she did.

Angry She went and gathered up her forbidden bow and arrows and the dart shooter she created and went to the secret practice range that she and her friend had created. There waiting for her was Nacheska with red hair and flame red eyes and her silver bracelets on her wrist with her bow and arrow ready.

"Kakia ready for a contest? Let's get ready, set go!" The contest was on. The air was filled with the sound of arrows flying and whistling past their ears and into the targets exactly where they wanted to hit.

"I'm done!"

Nacheska said flinging her bow down on the ground a split second before Kakia. Nacheska laughed with Kakia as they joked over who was better and playfully bantered each other over the mistakes each made. By the end both had twigs and leave everywhere, in their hair on their clothes and rip and tear everywhere.

Sitting there Kakia told her about the strange dreams she had been having they tried to piece together the puzzle of the dreams as they found each piece of the dream.

"Kakia what if you and I just went to help those poor dark elves? I mean your grandfather only notices you're gone after its too late and then if we hurry we can get to the dark elves before he catches us." Nacheska suggested.

"We could, and we should!" Kakia exclaimed. She stood and right then and there they left. For dragons have little need of packing things all they need is weapons for when in forms besides Dragon.

The two friends headed out and disappeared over the hills talking and heading into the biggest mess of trouble that they would ever have been into.

But when have you known two such friends to not go into danger?

Ellandan fell the pain shooting through his shoulders hurt painfully, every second more stars appeared in front of his eyes and it grew harder to stay awake and try to fight. Orcs were everywhere. They had grabbed him and were taking him away but not without a struggle. He started to pull and yank doing all he could to try to be released but the wrinkled and disgusting hands holding him did not let go, but their grip went tighter sending spasms of pain shooting up his arms and into his back. The more he struggled the more irritated his captors became. After he pushed too far an orc raised a side of his battle-ax and smashed it on the tall elf's head. Ellandan went limp as a rag doll in the orc's grip. The orc lifted him over his shoulder and they set out north with their captive intent on torturing "it" to death by their enjoyment in ways not thought of orcs.

They would take him to the fire-one for he desired to bait his enemy and live bait HE will have.

Elohir raised himself from the ground, the orcs were gone! Slowly picking himself off the ground holding his bleeding arm tight to his chest. Looking around at the war scarred ground at the fallen orcs that were dead on the ground nearby. The sudden change from ground to standing made him start to feel dizzy bracing himself on a tree looked around some more.

As he did he realized one thing , his brother was not there! Elohir had fallen unconscious behind some bushes and became hidden enough that the orcs had forgotten him and gone after Ellandan. His brother was gone. Slowly and carefully going around the trees looked desperately for his brother. No sign of him.

Then he nearly met his face to the ground as he tripped over something, looking down saw to his horror his brother's sword and bow and arrows having been tossed to the ground as if some person had ripped it from his brother's back.

The world around him started to spin and he fell to the ground dazed then went to sleep exhaustion of the evening catching up with him.

As he slept he dreamt of his brother and the link he had with him. He was alive, but in danger of his life. He had many wounds and was being forced to do things that reopened his wounds before the elvish ability of quick healing kicked in. Then it changed to seeing his friends the rangers and elves traveling through the land quickly heading ever north. Then it changed to seeing two green eyes that brought terror and curiosity to his thoughts, they seemed to be laughing yet so serious. The eyes got closer as if it was moving towards him and the didn't like that feeling.

He then went into the sweet oblivion of darkness in his sleep-to-sleep long hours for exhaustion, sorrow and the pain of his wounds were keeping him from waking. Sleep continued far longer than it should have, that may be accounted to the poison that ravaged his body having entered and now desired to take control of his body.

He lay there sobbing racking his body like a leaf in a strong wind, sorrow of his link with his twin feeling a slightness of what his twin was going through. He could not stand the cruelness of what they did to his brother and so his mind vanished into the merciful depths of sleep without dreams or thoughts.

Aragorn felt like something was dreadfully wrong as then rode and if was like ever minute or so someone was knocking the breath out of himself. As if the very earth was warning them of some great danger that was coming and soon. That it was closer then he thought and brought evil tidings.

Legolas sensed the earth calling forth to them warning them of danger, saying warning don't go forth battle awaits you. Lies that brought forth death this night. He felt tension built in his body so prepared to be at ready if anything "unexpected" happened.

Glorfindel felt the foreboding of an enemy long thought gone return in full, he would have a very difficult battle ahead. Like meeting an old formidable foe that had grown in strength and power. Everything felt like that calm before the storm.

The rangers could not identify what they felt and why but just trudged alone, they were heading to the place where they would show aragorn things not expected and then would "travel carefully around enemy territory." After all they would follow lead them right into the enemies lap. What else were they to do?

That is what they had been commanded to do so they did. After all they had killed to be able to get here why wasn't it agreeing with their consciences? For all they had done was agree to do something that would profit not only themselves but their families also. Not realizing the cost.

Kakia laughed as she jumped across a creek with Nacheska right behind her, they were glad to be free of open land that they knew and enjoyed exploring the new country. As they drew closer to the fortress of evil they slowly grew more quiet. They could feel the evil holding to the earth making all around it feel it.

"Kakia this is not what I expected. I thought they had not reached home yet. If the elf even lasts long enough for us to find him, will he accept our help? I mean to enter such a place we will have to become humans. Why should we risk so much to save one elf?" Nacheska said uneasily.

"Friend, we must do this it is the challenge we must complete. For even if it is only one immortal life it is worth the saving for such a life to be saved. When at all costs one life is worth a thousand years of paradise when it is free once again. For friend it is not alone we fight in this battle but it is a team war just one fight at a time." Kakia said boldly.

Nacheska nodded and they continued their way along. Each to their own thoughts.

As they neared another river Kakia wanted to have some fun so crouching beside the riverbank prepared to jump but at the last second changed to dragon from and knocked the friend beside her into the river with a huge splash. Changing quickly back into elf she lay on the ground laughing to pieces till a red roaring dragon came exploding from the river dripping water. It landed and jumped succeeding in pouncing on her like it's prey.

The two went laughing and rolling around on the ground chasing each other around till Kakia tripped over something and fell flat on her face.

"Now kakia you really should be more careful after all since you are "So graceful" you should walk like a queen!" Nacheska said swaggering very exotically over to her friend on the ground.

"Mercy, mercy, stop, don't kill me now!" Kakia said between gasps for air. Then all laughing stopped as both of them saw what she had tripped over.

"Ai' ki los tanie' (By all things good) they are dead" Kakia said shocked with horror. She had never noticed before but, now as her face became white, that she had stumbled over three bodies. They were humans, each carried a sword and bow and arrows and had knives in their boots, Or nearby.

Kakia numbly pushed them over on their backs, revealing that each one had had their throat slit. It was gross and sickening, blood dried at their throats and each having lain in a puddle of blood staining their clothes and belongings. They had the looks of being from a highborn human family.

"This is terrible." Nacheska summed up for them both in the only words that they would say for some time.

They worked silently, Kakia couldn't imagine leaving them out for the animals to get so she began to dig graves for these poor unfortunate souls. Then she noticed upon each of the men's upper corner of the cape they wore was a picture stitched into it, a tree with stars about its limbs shining like a star in the night.

That night these men were buried and laid to rest, Kakia gently prayed to the Valor that who ever wronged these men that they would be put to the justice of their power.

Kakia and Nacheska leaned against each other as they thought of what they had just seen, never had either on of them seen any other death then the dreaded earth filth (orc). These were lives of humans that had been taken unwillingly. Kakia shivered at the cruelness of it all, how could any race feel such hate that they would kill another because of it? She could not fathom this.

They each shivered every so often.

"Kakia do we really know what we have gotten ourselves into?" Nacheska asked.

"I really don't know, as much as I feel that it is right I am afraid to continue on.." Kakia said motioning her friend's attention up at Elendil as it shown in the bright night sky.

Many things she and her friend would think this night , far beyond what they ever thought before. For young they both truly were, they did not know of all that went on in the world and this small amount of death hurt deeply for them both they would seem to carry the world's burden by the end of it all.

Krystal Fox: Well that is the end of it for now. Write and tell me what you think about it, and if there could be improvement, cause right now I'm on the edge of a writer's block and can't think of what next I should do for my story.

Legolas: how about telling us what you plan to do to us next?

Glorfindel: Yes I would like to know that too?

Krystal fox: We have gone over this before, I don't even know what you will be doing. So for now good-bye.
