By Youkiyra Solar alias Krystal Fox

Krystal Fox: Here we go again to begin.

Glorfindel: Wait just a minute you still have not answered the question from last time.

Krystal Fox: Would you just let me write the story for goodness sake!!

Legolas: Yes I would like still like to know what happened to my friend's adopted-brothers, you left them in a state of pain and agony!

Krystal l Fox: Oh Brother, I do not own of the Lord of the Rings Characters or places Characters or places or the quotes from Tolkien's book. Please excuse in my last chapter for not correctly saying whom I was disclaiming. For the last chapter the same is equal to this one I do not own any of Tolkien's writings or stories.

Chapter 8 Traveling through Pain

Ellandan slept in his cell, Nacheska started to wash his wounds. She sighed at the mass multitude of the wounds. She wanted so badly to change into her dragon form but in this small cell she wouldn't fit in it in her dragon form. So in her elven form she sat beside the wounded elf caring for the cuts on him and he stayed unconscious. She using her dragon healing powers, which can heal twice as fast as elves. She waited and the elf woke, sat up looking confused.

"Where are my wounds?" he said examining his body like it was a new thing.

"I healed it, what else?" She said tilting her head in confusion.

Ellandan sat up and looked at her and realized that this person was like that of a young person or child in this event of things. This young lady knew nothing of how mortals or elves can die for the only dragon ever to die was Kakia's mother.

"That is the way with mortals and elves lady, if one of us is deeply wounded we take a long time to recover. How is it with your people? And did you heal yourself?" He said remembering how the Balrog had hurt her very badly.

"Yes I healed my self, for as soon as he stopped and left I healed my self by my own will. My people do things with the will of the mind, if we feel the anger and power in our minds it comes into play with our actions and that is how we are so good at changing forms. Though in our own forms it seems to be almost animalistic to you and your kind. Though is actually more humane." She said looking around the room at all the walls and bricks of their prison.

She rose and going to the barred window peeked out of it not seeming to be the deadly power that she was. Then paused and gave a call that made the room rattle and Ellandan had to cover his ears.

She waited then said, "We are too far away for Kakia to hear me. That must mean we traveled by dragon powers to get this far so soon."

"Who is Kakia and why give a call?" Ellandan asked filled with the curiosity of a young elfling in this new race.

"Kakia is the princess of dragons and I give a call because that is how dragon's communicate at long distances and is much more useful then yours or the humans way of yelling which only goes maybe 2 miles."

"What does this Kakia look like I mean I have seen your dragon form and it intrigues me what does she look like?" Ellandan said standing beside her.

"She is one of the rare dragons, for there were only two of her kind till the one was killed. She is royalty because as a green dragon has a fraction of a percent stronger and wiser then the rest of us but when she doesn't get something right or something goes wrong she blames herself more than she should. When in her form she is a great emerald green dragon and is very powerful." Nacheska said sitting down.

"What does she look like in elven form?" Ellandan said sitting down beside her on the cobblestone floor.

"She is tall like me but has silver gleaming hair and her eyes remain green and she looks very beautiful."

"Well you look nice too!" Ellandan said being friendly.

"Thank you!"

"BY the way how in the world did you happen to get involved in this whole thing of evil and danger." Ellandan asked curious.

"It started with my lady's dreams, for her dreams are always true, so she ignored her grandfather's request to stay in the village and went off looking for you and your brother."

"You mean to say you like found him?" Ellandan said hopefully from the last time he had seen his brother.

"Yes yes and well he was hurt but we took him to Caller and there he had some friends of your brother's and one had many names."

"You mean Estel?"

"Yes, he was over protective of your brother, though I should say it was good from the wounds that your brother bore."

"Wait you just healed me now without hardly anything and you didn't heal Elohir! How does that work now?"

"Ellandan to heal you I would have to have been wounded myself. To heal another we must know a measure of what pain you have so we might heal you correctly. For if we just healed we might change you from what or who you really are. If I healed you without being hurt myself I could heal you to the point of being one of the younger Valor servants or Mauri that you call them and that was not what you were meant to be."

"Oh I see now. Thank you so much but to tell you the truth that I am very tired."

"Yes I can tell you are getting weary rest and perhaps we shall talk more later."

He nodded and laid his head down on the ground on his arm and fell into the sleep of the elves. Nacheska slowly stood up for she did not tell him that what ever wounds he had in the healing process had been healed but her own still needed tending for she could not tend to her own till another came to heal her. In great pain she rose again and with tears in her eyes looked out the window and said, "Please hurry Kakia, I don't know if I can handle the torture which I must submit myself through. And she sunk to the ground and with a soft groan changed into small dragon and curled up into a ball and went to sleep, a bright ruby ankle band shown on her ankle. This was what kept her from escaping in her smaller than bars forms. She slept and tossed and turned with dreams of torture and pain.

Kakia kept moving. Legolas looked at her, she would not rest the smallest bit refused to let any one else take night shifts and had not spoken a word since they had left Tom's. They had been on the move for over almost two week. Looking over at Moon smiled she was carrying a lengthy conversation with Elohir who was just ahead of him. She seemed so happy even though her princess was worried.

As the sun was directly overhead Moon fell back beside Legolas. Legolas was relaxing on his horse leaning back on the horses back. He was tired of riding of silence of Kakia's seriousness and of Estel's fretting over Elohir.

"What is wrong Legolas?" Moon asked startling him out of him own thoughts.

"Oh I just was thinking of how tired of things I am getting. Of everything." He said with a sigh.

"Why are you?" She asked tilting her head in confusion.

"Why…because…because…Don't your people ever not get tired of doing one thing over and over again and it seems like that is all you ever do or keep doing?" Legolas asked not knowing how to answer her question.

"No. My people see the newness of each day as if it is the brand new day of a new creation. Can't you see the wind rustling the leaves, birds flying in the air, animals playing in the forest, each thing always something new happens for no matte what you do that one moment can never again be captured as it was when you last saw it so each thing become new and interesting." She said explaining her answer.

"I never thought of it that way. That puts everything in a brand new light. Thank you. I would never have thought of it that way." Legolas said smiling.

"What do you do at your home for each season?" Moon asked leaning on the horse her back to it's mane and her feet pointing to the way they came in a very laid back and easy position.

"Now I do not understand what you mean. For each season? I do not understand." Legolas said creasing his brow with confusion.

"Well each spring, summer, fall and winter just when they have become we celebrate their coming. For seasons come and go." Moon said her blue/silver eyes sparkling.

"Oh I see. That is like what we do twice a year. For summer and winter. We never have enough time to celebrate them all for all our own worries and cares." Legolas said softly.

The horses stopped as the two of them looked up having felt extreme heat. They all froze; a huge Balrog had risen in front of them.

Kakia stood looking mad, "WHERE IS MY FRIEND?"

"Oh you mean the one who is going to become my slave. She is in my dungeons suffering from the beating I gave her." He said with great pleasure in his voice. "But please I must be going. I have orcs to attend to." and with that he rose and turned, walking away. Kakia turned and said, "Moon come and aid me we must find where he has his lair."

Moon nodded and without even dismounting the two rose into the air in their dragon forms, one of blue/silver and the other green, shining emerald green. Both had two silver bracelets on their left wrists and they sparkled as they disappeared from view following the balrog.

Aragorn was mumbling under his breath, "Sure leave us behind and expect us to take and make camp thanks and sure."

Elohir laughed and then broke into a ragged cough. Aragorn and Glorfindel rushed over to him and helped him into a sitting position and then Aragorn noticed that Glorfindel was sweating and shaking with small tremors. Aragorn as soon as the coughing subsided went over to Glorifndel and taking him by the arms sat him down, kneeling in front of him asked, "Glorfindel What is wrong? Why are you shaking?"

Glorfindel had been looking away all this time and now he looked up his eyes mirrored the look of fire in his eyes a pure terror that made Estel shiver.

He took a deep breath then said, "Aragorn that Balrog was the one that I kill and killed me. We are both back and only by the chance that one of us dies will this battle end. He holds the keys to stopping the multiplication of those "smart" orcs." The grew silent his words seemed not to capture the terror he felt at seeing his enemy face to face again so soon it seemed.

Estel sat down with shock of what was just revealed, Elohir's mouth was open and Legolas just stood there like a tree frozen in winter.

Kakia and Moon swiftly followed the balrog on silent wings. As they followed him they felt the coming of evil as they went closer to his lair. It was at the base of the most forbidden mountains that even Sauron dared not to have built in them for they echoed with the sound of Morgoth's screams from so long ago when Morgoth burned himself on the Silmaril and Osrigith the mother of all Monster spider's was born tried to take the Silmaril and tired to kill Morgoth. (From Tolkien's "The Silmaril" Chapter 6)

Kakia and Moon ignored the sounds of evil and watched Balrog disappear into the dark hole, which announced the entrance. Pausing they marked the spot with dragon scales of their own to remember the spot for as the balrog vanished everything looked like any other part of the country side and started back to the others to tell them of their discovery.

Krystal Fox: Well nothing much has happened but this but boring chapters lead up to great excitement.

Glorfindel: Thanks a lot I really need more insecurity in my life with the twins, Aragorn and Legolas but you JUST HAD to bring back an old enemy of mine? Why why do you insist on bothering me?

Krystal Fox: Because you are so much fun to bother.
