Chapter 15: Personal war
Inwë and Legolas found their friends and told them of their plans. Together they packed against the king's refusal. Late in the night the group snuck off to the stables where they traveled to Inwë's inn. Once there they all decided to sit, talk, and plan… and rest. They put the horses away, unpacked in their own rooms, and then all met down in the main room. Inwë brought Wintersmoon in to converse with the group. The burly man sat waiting for a drink.
"So you never did tell me your name," Inwë said as she poured some rum into a glass for him.
"Well you never asked," he said drinking from the large cup. She gave him a warning look and he quickly understood she wasn't in a playing mood, "my name is Jackal Blime. Your father is a good man, you look a lot like him."
"How well did you know my father?" she asked fully interested about the father she never met.
"I know him well, a good man, not much into drinking… kind of like you. He is a friendly, strong man… not one to trifle with. Though he is a softy," the man said emotionless before taking a big chug of his drink as the others walked down the stairs.
"Inwë so what is the plan?" Arwen asked as she sat beside her friend, "I am still mad you didn't say good bye."
"I couldn't risk you wanting to follow; I wanted a clean break… I am glad you guys came though," Inwë said smiling at her best friend.
"Good cause if not I'd have to blow you up," Arwen smile as she looked over to her husband, her king, her lover. Inwë wondered where Legolas was so she went to find him. He was sitting in his room thinking when she walked in.
"Legolas…? What is wrong?" she asked confusedly.
"I am so sorry Inwë I should have never made you wait, on my knees I'll ask you to withstand all that has happened. I give it all for us, and you better know that I'll never give up. I love you, I loved you all along, I missed you, and you were far away for far too long. I always dream you'd be with me, because I knew I'd stop breathing if I never saw you again. I wanted you to stay, cause I needed to hear you say 'I love you I loved you all along, and I forgive you for making me wait.' I want you to know that I am not leaving you anymore, so promise you'll hold onto me and never let me go…" Legolas said immediately as he got onto his knee and took her hand
"What was wrong?"
"I don't want to waste another day, without you I want you, I want to hold you everyday, I know I'll make mistakes but I want to know I can have all of you, tell me that it's not all in my heart… take all that is left of me… " Legolas began, "I die inside, I am going out of my mind, I seem to be running in circles. Will you take what is left of me, will you take what is left… though I don't have much I still love you and…"
"You are the reason I am here Legolas you are the reason I am standing. You have me, you've had me, and you'll always have me as long as you don't treat me wrong. As long as you love me… you'll never lose me," she said grabbing his face and looking down at him seeing how panicked he looked, "what is going on with you?"
"I had another dream," Legolas said slightly sweaty, "I am sorry if I scared you. What is going on down there?"
"Are you fine…" she began as he spaced of, "Legolas are you..."
"I'm fine, let's go," he said swallowing before getting up and walking down stairs while she trailed after him.
"So now that we know what is going on… where do you think this necklace is?" Éomer said leaning back in his chair. The burly man looked at Éomer like he was a foolish child.
"If I knew where it was do you think that we'd be sitting here? I know where a clue to it is. It will be dangerous, if you amateurs are up for the journey," Jackal said sighing in irritation. Éomer stood up ready to show him who was the stronger opponent until Inwë spoke up.
"Éomer now is not the time for battle over egos; we need him to take us to the first clue…" Inwë said looking around to Legolas who was very silent.
"I pick my teeth with little guys like him," Jackal grunted before sipping more alcohol.
"Yeah? I eat wimps like you for breakfast," Éomer said with a growl before Jackal stood up to his full six feet five inches.
"Enough!" yelled Inwë irritated, "we have Olwë bigger problems here. Save your anger for the enemies!"
"She is right, we can deal with it later," Jackal said sitting down and sipping at his drink again.
"Coward," Éomer said softly while sitting down.
"Éomer silence yourself!" Inwë yelled looking at him angrily. Éomer was quiet after that he had no more to say.
"We must travel to the outskirts of the Shire, the wild lands," Jackal said seeing worry come to their faces.
"What do you mean?" Olwë asked not understanding.
"You idiot of a brother, we are going to the place the sun hides, and the place the moon comes up from. The far away lands… the un mapped lands," Celebriän said trying to find ways to explain to her brothers.
"I'm not an idiot, I just… I… don't think," Olwë said slightly offended.
"Exactly," Celebriän sighed with annoyance of her brother, "moving on… to go there is uncertain death. We will get lost and never be found. Anyone who travels there NEVER returns."
"Yeah well if it is uncertain death, then why do you fear it? It is uncertain as you said," Jackal said laughing slightly, "do not worry I will protect you amateurs."
"I have heard enough of your comments, you talk to us like we know nothing. You talk to us like we are stupid youths who have never seen death, or pain… take it from those of us who first handedly had to fight for the battle of the ring. Try being one of the fellowship members. Amateur, I'd say you're the amateur Jackal. I've just about had it with you," Legolas said slamming his hands down on the table catching everyone except Jackal off guard in the out burst.
"Aha so the blonde elf does speak. I nearly thought you a mute," Jackal said laughing a 'your not worth the time,' laugh.
"Jackal, argue with me but leave Legolas out of this," Inwë said hastily glaring at Jackal, "it is late everyone we have a long journey ahead get some sleep."
"Yeah," and "whatever's," cascaded around the room as everyone got up and left.
When morning came they all got up and packed their stuff. They then ate a quick meal, and quietly left for the stables. Together the group left off after Inwë left the inn to a woman who use to help them out. There journey was now beginning… the problem was, there was a problem. Everyone had a person war with someone else, or their selves.
