Chapter 13: The Departure of Boromir

This is disgusting, and yet, I love it! I thought, chopping off another Orc's head. I was now on my adrenaline rush and was loving this! I listened as Boromir told Merry and Pippin to run. I did the same, even though I could hardly hear my own voice. But then, Boromir runs with the hobbits, while I am completely surrounded.

"Boromir! No!" I yelled, cutting my other opponent's arm off. I saw that they ran ahead, but were cut off by more Orcs. I swiped at my opponents, shoving my sword through three at once. Nice! But then, I heard the most terrible sound you could ever hear. Boromir then got shot with an arrow in the chest.

"Boromir!" I yelled, killing the rest of the Orcs that surrounded me, but when I did, more came. As if I were surrounded by a hundred of them. I paid no attention to the Orcs surrounding me, but to Boromir. He tries to fight the Orcs, but gets shot by three more arrows. Merry and Pippin tried to fight their way to Boromir, but were picked up by Orcs and carried away.

"Boromir! NO!" I yelled, but at that moment, an Orc shoved his sword through my leg. "Ahhh!" I screamed out in pain. I still don't mind my own business, but watch as one Uruk-hai stands in front of Boromir with a bow and arrow at hand. I didn't notice that I had fallen to my knees, but felt as another Orc swiped my shoulder. I hissed in pain, but cut off that Orc's leg. I looked up, not wanting to see that a member of my family had fallen dead, but I did not see that vision at all. Aragorn leapt to Boromir's rescue. Seeing Aragorn gave me hope. I slowly got up, cutting Orcs all around. I now only had about eight around me. I hear Aragorn fighting the Orc behind me, when I hear no more fighting going on behind me. I fear to look to see Aragorn dead, but when I looked behind me, I found Aragorn had chopped off the Uruk-hai's head. I smiled evilly, and got another adrenaline rush. I swiped, chopped, swished, cut, and clopped at the Orcs in front of me. I had now only two Orcs heading for me. I looked back to see Aragorn tending to Boromir, who was now lying on the ground. My heart dropped. I felt imaginary tears form in my eyes, for I felt heart ache, but couldn't in this world. I barged toward the Orcs and hacked both heads off. I swung around to hear Boromir's voice, but it was very raspy. I ran to his side too!

"Boromir!" I yelled in pain.

"Forgive me. I did not see it. I have failed you all." Boromir merely whispered. I shook my head, anger in my heart. This enemy of ours better fear me by the end of this!

"No Boromir. You have fought bravely. You have kept your honor." Aragorn replied. Aragorn grasped the arrow, about to take it out when Boromir said,

"Leave it. It is over. The world of Men will fall. And all will come to darkness. My city in ruin."

"I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall. Nor our people fail." Aragorn spoke in confidence. I nodded.

"I too!" I said.

"Our people. Our people." Boromir says to Aragorn, but looks over to me. "I am truly sorry. You are a great warrior, and will make it, Ms. Shadow." Aragorn placed his sword in his hands. I then turned to find Legolas and Gimli watching us with Boromir.

"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My King." And with that, Boromir's soul was out of our reach. I then tuned out everything around. I barely heard Aragorn announce,

"Be at peace, son of Gondor." I watch through angry and sad eyes as Aragorn kisses Boromir's forehead. I then felt two hands on my shoulder. I looked back to see Legolas. I then almost jumped into his arms. When I did so thought, a jolt of pain rang through my body. I had wrapped my arms around his neck, but found darkness. Right before I blacked out, I heard Legolas sigh in relief,

"Shade. You're okay."


I woke up to find myself lying on a log while the rest of what's left of the fellowship sends Boromir's body floating across the water, in a boat. I sat up, ignoring the pain, and watched as Boromir's body floated over the waterfall. Legolas turns to see me and bounded to my side.

"Shade! We must leave. May I carry you?" Legolas kindly asked. I smiled and nodded. But he kneeled in front of me and took my hand. "I am sorry. I couldn't come for you. But I will. I won't let you fall." I nodded. I looked to my leg to find it bandaged up. He stood, turned around, bent down, and lifted my onto his back.

"Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore." Legolas starts for the woods, but I said,

"Wait Legolas." He paused. He looked to Aragorn, who looked to the ground. Legolas and I looked to the woods to see Frodo and Sam running off across the river. Legolas sighed.

"You mean not to follow them." Legolas stated.

"Frodo's fate no longer is in our hands." Aragorn spoke the truth, but something told me we weren't going to give up quite yet.

"Then it all has been in vain. The fellowship has failed." Gimli sadly said. I shook my head in disagreement. Aragorn walked over to Legolas, Gimli and I, and put his hands on Gimli and Legolas. He looked to me also, but I knew he wouldn't leave me out, but that he only had two hands. I nodded.

"Not if we hold true to each other." Aragorn boldly said. I nodded. Gimli then placed his hand on Aragorn's shoulder.

"We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc." Aragorn smiled.

"YES!" I think Gimli loved that thought! Legolas smiled and looked over his shoulder at me. The three men were now looking at me. I nodded for the third time and said,

"Let's go hunt some Orc!" They then started into the woods, me being on Legolas's back. Now, I don't know what's to happen in the future, but I wouldn't mind killing that Sauron guy myself! This was only the beginning to a very long journey that I was lucky and happy to be a part of.


So? What did you think? I know there are a LOT of errors, but if you'd like to edit, then help me out! I also have the second part to this up now, and it's called More Worlds Than One 2! I know, I know...very confusing, but hey, that's me!
