Chapter 11: Battle in Moria
Gimli runs into the chamber. Bodies and weapons scattered about it. The Dwarf stops and kneels by a crypt in the center of the room. A shaft of light illuminates it. Gandalf walks forward and peers at the tomb's surface. "No! No!" *sob* "No!" *sob*, Gimli cries and falls his knees in front of the tomb as Boromir places his hand on Gimli's shoulder. "'Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria.' He is dead then. It's as I feared." Gandalf reads and translates the written on the tomb. Gimli is still crying as he leans his head at the end part of the tomb. Gandalf gives his staff and hat to Pippin, bends down, and takes a large and battered book from a corpse's hands. He opens it and clears the dirt from its pages. "Kilmin malur ni zaram kalil ra narag. Kheled-zâram… Balin tazlifi." Gimli chanting softly and sobbing. "We must move on, we cannot linger!" Legolas said to Aragorn and me but we didn't say to him. Gandalf starts to read, "'They have taken the bridge… and the second hall.'" Gimli stops sobbing, and looks up blankly. "'We have barred the gates… but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes.'" Pippin is still holding the hat and staff as he backs away. "'Drums… drums… in the deep.'" He looks up slowly, and turns the smudged, bloodstained page. As we begin to glance around uncomfortably. "'We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark.'" Pippin stumbles back and sees a corpse with an arrow in its chest, sitting by a stone well. He turns towards it. "'We cannot get out…'" Gandalf glances at the last, single line, a scrawl fading out at the bottom of the page. He looks up in the uncomfortable silence. "'They are coming!'" The silence is broken by Pippin. Curious, he reaches out and lightly twists the arrow in the corpse. The skull slips off, falling into the well with a resounding crash. Gandalf whips around. Pippin turns to face him, looking guilty. As he does, the rest of the corpse slips into the well, dragging with it a chain and bucket. Noise echoes from hall to hall far below. Pippin winces at each wave of noise. Gandalf slams the book, "Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!" He pulls his hat and staff from his hands. Gandalf turns away. Pippin stands still, awkwardly. Drums are heard booming. Gandalf slowly turns back, and Pippin turns as well, staring down into the well. More drums are heard booming. "Frodo!" Sam looks at him as the sword glows blue. "Orcs!" Legolas said alertly, Boromir rushes to the doors to have a look. Arrows hiss into the door near his face. Aragorn drops his torch and runs to Boromir. "Get back! You stay close to Gandalf!" Aragorn said to the hobbits, the doors are shut. A bellow can be heard just outside. "They have a cave troll." Boromir said in sarcastic relief, Legolas and I toss the weapons to Boromir and Aragorn to blockade the door. We draw out our own weapons. Gandalf throws away his hat and pulls out his sword. "Yah!" The Hobbits brandish their short-swords. Sting quivers, glowing blue. Gimli leaps atop Balin's tomb and brandishes his axe. "Argh! Let them come! There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath!" Creatures begin breaking the doors down. Weapons crash through splintering spaces. Legolas, Aragorn and I stand poised, ready to shoot. The first clear gap is gashed in the door and Legolas shoots — a shrill cry rings out. He notches an arrow to his bow as Aragorn shoots another as I did too. Suddenly, the beasts break through and the battle begins. A wave of armor-clad Orcs charge towards the Fellowship, who engage the Orcs. Aragorn, Legolas and I pierce Orcs with our arrows while Boromir smashes another with his sword; Gimli catches one in the stomach. With a roar, Gandalf launches himself into the fray, and the Hobbits follow. Aragorn beheads an Orc and black blood spews forth. Sam pauses in the heat of battle, his attention drawn upwards. Aragorn also looks up. A cave troll smashes through the doorway, chains leading from his wrists to an Orc's hand. Legolas shoots the cave troll in the shoulder; the beast growls and claps a hand to the wound. Sam continues to stare, frozen, as the troll swings his mace down at the Hobbit — he dives under the troll's legs and crawls away as the troll turns, and sights him again. However, I run closer to him, "Stay close to me, Sam." He nodded at me, as he stays behind of me as the orc approaches to us and I swing at him with my sword around his chest. "Get down!" As we cringe. The beast raises his arm to strike when, suddenly, he falls back. Aragorn and Boromir are behind the troll, pulling on its chains. The troll twists its arm and whips Boromir across the room. He lands in a recess of the wall, dazed. An Orc stands above him, ready to strike. Across the room, Aragorn slings his blade into the Orc's neck, and, still dazed, Boromir gets up. Aragorn nods to him. Standing upon the tomb of Balin, Gimli the Dwarf slings an axe, piercing the troll's shoulder. The troll swings his mace into the tomb, shattering it and knocking the Dwarf off. erry and Pippin push Frodo behind a pillar. Gimli hacks at an Orc as the troll swings its mace at him. Gimli ducks, and the monster strikes a goblin instead, and then another. Gimli falls. From a corner among more of the goblins, Legolas shoots two arrows into the troll, causing it to reel back with a cry. Gandalf knocks an Orc out with his staff. The troll swings his chain above his head. He swings at the Elf, and Legolas dodges it. The chain wraps around a pillar. Legolas runs along the chain onto the trolls shoulders. He shoots the troll in the back of the head and jumps off. The troll cringes and stumbles. "Look out!" I yelled and then Sam hits an Orc with skillet, "I think I'm getting the hang of this." "Great fighting and you are very brave, Sam." I said to him, "Thanks, my lady and you are too." "More Orcs are approaching." As I pointed at them, he nods at me and he turns and hits another as I did too. The troll raises his mace and brings it down at the other Hobbits, causing them to jump aside. Frodo is separated from Merry and Pippin. The troll seeks Frodo, who tries to evade its searches by hiding behind a pillar. "Frodo!" Aragorn sees the eminent danger, as I turned to Frodo in shocked. Aragorn and I try to fight our own way over to Frodo in opposite direction. Frodo dodges around the pillar. The troll peers around it. Not being able to see him, it peers around the other side, causing Frodo to dodge out of its vision. It disappears. Frodo carefully looks around the pillar — the troll has gone. He draws a deep breath. "Aragorn? Aragorn!" Frodo yelled for help, Aragorn breathes heavily, exhausted. Still, he continues on. "Don't worry!" I said to Frodo, "My lady... please, you two help me!" "Frodo!" We said both, Frodo slashes the troll's hand with Sting. The troll drops Frodo to the ground, twisting his injured hand and staring at it. Frodo lies on the floor. It raises its mace and begins to swing, but Aragorn leaps down into the recess. He grabs a spear from the floor and stabs the troll with it. It does not penetrate its flesh, but holds the beast at bay. Pippin and Merry throw stones at the troll's head. The troll swings his arm down and hits Aragorn, sending him flying across the room. He collapses onto the floor. Frodo races after him and tries to rouse him, but Aragorn is too stunned to move. Frodo tries to run toward to Aragorn but the troll is blocking his way as I rush and swing my swords around the troll. "Yah!" I slash around his chest, as I confront and point my sword at the troll, "You dare to touch him or hurt?" Then the troll starts to fight against me, I swing my sword but he grabs my hand as he slammed me against wall as I hit myself and everything is black again. 'Oh no, not again.'
No POV
Frodo begins to run but the troll blocks Frodo's path with its spear, throwing him back. The troll takes aim and stabs Frodo in the chest. Gandalf turns instinctively. Merry and Pippin stare in shock. "Ugh… uh!" Frodo is dying again, the cave troll gapes in surprise at what it has done. Merry and Pippin glance at each other and their faces appear resolved. Gandalf is shocked. They leap onto the beast, stabbing him mercilessly. "Frodo? Frodo!" Sam worried, He rushes bravely towards his friend. Broken from their shocked trance, Aragorn, Boromir, and Gandalf fight madly to reach Frodo as he slumps to the floor, the spear sticking into his chest. The troll flails at its head and grabs Merry, swinging him around and throwing him to the ground. Gandalf and Gimli take turns stabbing at the troll and dodging out of range. Legolas takes aim. With Pippin stabbing it in the head, the troll opens its mouth. Legolas shooting his arrow up into the brain through the mouth of the troll. The troll stops fighting and its hand fumbles towards its mouth where the arrow is. It stares upward, shocked. With a long, pained moan, the troll collapses to the ground, dead. Pippin is thrown against the floor. There is a moment of silence. All enemies are dead or have fled. Gandalf rushes to Frodo, as does Aragorn. Legolas saw Cynthia, she was still unconscious as he rushed to her, however, she is weakly to open her eyes.
Cynthia's POV
I'll just open my eyes, and I look at Legolas and he is worried at me again, "Don't worry, I'm fine again." "I don't want to see you, to hurt you again. And I thought, you will lose me again." He said in worriedly. As I turned around and I see Frodo is dying again as Legolas helps me to stand up and I rushed over Frodo, Sam walks slowly over. "Oh no!" Aragorn said in worriedly as he rolls over Frodo. Frodo groans, gasping for breath. "He's alive!" Sam said to them, Gandalf sighs in relief. "I'm all right, I'm not hurt." Frodo said, "Really?! But how?" I said in shocked at him, "You should be dead! That spear would have skewered a wild boar." Aragorn said, "I think there's more to this Hobbit than meets the eye." As Frodo opens his brown shirt to reveal his Mithril shirt. It glimmers. "Mithril! You are full of surprises, Master Baggins." Gimli said happily but Orcs are heard in the distance. "To the Bridge of Khazad-dûm!" Gandalf commanded to them.
