They packed and readied ourselves, and soon set out to Mordor. We travled the path Link recognized that the Dwarves and he used so long ago to get out of Rivendell as he walked beside Gandalf.
Across the planes they went, miles and miles they walked, mainly silently. Link kept a look out everywhere, for monsters or something amiss. Then they finally stopped and rested.
Meat and bread was made and given out as food, and we rested, relaxed.
Link, finished eating long ago, watched the human, Boromir, and the two little Hobbit's, Merry and Pip practice sword fighting. It was pitiful of course, but that was to Hylian standards with Link. Besides, they never fought with a sword in their life.
Link switched his attention from the battle to the scenery, keeping a look out with ease with Legolas, who was far above.
" Link." Someone called, and he looked to see it was Boromir.
" You fight with a sword do you not? Would you like to practice?" he asked. Link thought for a moment.
" If you think you can keep up." Link agreed as he stood, his blade on his back as he walked in front of Boromir. Everyone gave them space, and he saw even Legolas watch the upcoming battle. Boromir took his stance, and saw Link just stand.
" Don't you want to take you're sword out?" he asked.
" Do not worry about me Boromir, but worry rather about defending yourself." Link answered calmly. Boromir shrugged his shoulders and carefully advanced on Link. Link found many flaws already with his trained eyes. He was waiting for the moment to draw his sword.
" You do know this is training?" Legolas called. Link just kept his eyes narrowed and on Boromir.
There! Boromir relaxed slightly, and was close. Fast as lightning Link drew the Master Sword, the blade coming out with a beautiful ring as he faked a stab at Boromir who did exactly was Link wanted him to do.
As his instincts allowed, he quickly moved back, a little wobbly which Link quickly used to his advantage. He hurried forwards with Hylian speed, and around to the back of Boromir in the blink of an eye. Link kicked Boromir in the small of his back, making the human fall on his stomach. Boromir turned quickly around but froze as he saw the tip of Link's sword against his neck.
Everyone was shocked, Legolas only mildly stunned, and Gandalf not stunned at all.
" Just because I do appear to be an easy match does not mean you under estimate me as much as you did Boromir. Apply that to all foes and you will win a lot more battles then loose then. Or at least hold out longer." Link informed him. He stepped away, turning back as he sheathed his sword in the hidden sheath, and went to sit back down.
" You're blade, I've never seen anything like it." Aragorn told him.
" And I doubt you ever will Aragorn." Link told him. Legolas, swalling his pride for a moment to see the weapon better, went to Link. All were a little surprised the the prince would do this, but Link stood with Legolas.
" May I see the blade for a moment?" Legolas asked, holding out his hand.
" I would love to let you see my sword Legolas, but I'm afraid that it burns anyone who is not the one suppose to be wielding it. If you would like your hands burn then by all means please take my sword, but if not I'm afraid I would have to hold it out for you to see it closer." Link told him.
" Belive him Legolas. Many foes have fallen because they touched that blade which did not belong to them." Gandalf informed.
" If I must." Legolas agreed. Link pulled the Master Sword out of his sheath, and laid it flat on his hands as he held it out. Legolas studied it as best he could without touching it.
" I have never seen any blade worthy to compare to it. Not any race could have made a blade like this." He stated.
" Of course we Dwarves-!" Gimli started before he too studied the blade.
" I hate it when your right you know." The Dwarf muttered to Legolas before sitting down. Legolas seemed to be concerned with something about the sword, but he said nothing.
" A fine blade I must admit." He finally said standing up right.
" If your shooting with a bow and arrow is anything like I can weild a blade, then remind me not to get on your badside." Link said standing and walking towards the opposite edge.
" Why? Do you know my skills exceed yours, Hylian?" Legolas smirked.
" Of course not. You would just shoot me threw the heart before I even got a fair swing at you." Link answered with a slight grin behind him. There were a few chuckles around but Link soon frowned.
" Legolas!" he called.
" What?" he answered with surprisingly little hostility.
" You have some of the best eyes here besides me. Tell me, what is that?" Link asked, pointing with his chin towards what appeared to be a strange dark cloud. Legolas soon stood next to Link, narrowing his eyes. Both had the same thought.
It was no cloud.
" What is that?" Sam asked." Nothing more then a whisp of cloud." Gimli shrugged.
" It's moving fast, against the wind." Boromir said.
" That's no cloud of whisp." Link muttered.
" Crebain from Dunland!" Legolas cried out.
" Hide quick!" Aragorn shouted everyone scrambled to put everything out. They raced to shelter under a boulder and waited as the Crebain hovered over the area. Then the creatures flew away, and everyone all breathed easy.
" Spies of Saruman. The passage South is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras." Gandalf said.
