Chapter IV

Legolas woke up the next morning by a smell. He turned over and saw Yaviel cooking by a fire. She looked, to Legolas, as if she was hiding a mystery but wanted to tell him. She then looked at him and said in a complaining,
"Well, I see you decided to murder mother nature with your presence."
Legolas turned over to make his bed and muttered to himself, "If she could shut her gobb for a few seconds I could ask her what she was cooking and, not to mention, complement her on making her first good meal in her life."
"Come on. I brought along with myself some stuff for making lembas bread," she said.
"Lembas bread!" whispered Legolas but then in a loud voice said, "Why didn't you even say that you brought that stuff!"
"You didn't ask." she replied as she threw him some of the elvish bread.
He started to eat it and, to his surprise, she actually did something right for once in her life.
"I must say," he said, "I am in awe that I am actually eating something you cooked that isn't poisoned and isn't burnt."
"You take that back Legolas Greenleaf!" she said standing and drawing her sword.
"Why?" He replied, "anything of yours I have ever eaten was burnt."
"Like what?"
"Like the cram you once gave me."
"Well I was-"
"And the meat that you once gave me,"
"Then I was-"
"Not to mention the fried fish."
"You misjudge me Legolas! I was younger than."
"Fascinating."
"Of all the stupidest-" she said but was cut off.
"Time to move." said the other.
They went off marching to their destenation.
"This is awkward." said Legolas.
"What?" asked the Elvenmaiden.
"This is a footprint." said Legolas.
"Your right!" she said after examining it, "Anf there are alot more ahead!"
"And what about it!?" said a deep voice behind them. They turned around to see three dwarves on top of eagles. Two of them had axes and the third had a bow. Obviously the leader.
"Who are you two?" said the dwarf.
"We are two elves on the way to Mirkwood or Greenwood as it is now being called," said Legolas.
"So are we." said the dwarf, "But why are you here?"
"We are at this moment going there to help them." said Legolas.
"What could two elves do to help Greenwood against the millions of orcs?" said the dwarf.
"These could." said Legolas holding out the seven dwarf rings.
"How?" asked the dwarf.
"Now what have you to say Dwarf." said Yaviel.
"I say that your coming to our king, Dain." said the Dwarf.
The dwarves helped the elves onto the eagles and flew off.
"Oh and by the way good sir," said Yaviel.
"It's madam elf." said the dwarf.
Yaviel was shocked. "Oh- well- your axe is falling off madam." she said. The dwarf woman bent down and brought up the axe.
"Thanks." she replied to Yaviel.
They landed and came to Dain. The two elves told the king why they were there and showed him the rings. He graciously took them and bowed low before the elves.
"I thank you." He said, "You have our leave to go."
The two elves left and started again on their journey. They were now walking through a forest on the way to Rivendell.
"That was easy." said Yaviel, "All we had to do was deliver the rings to Dain."
Then suddenly there was something moving in the bushes.They looked aroung but could see no one.
"Yaviel!" said Legolas suddely.
"What?" said Yviel facing him.
"Behind you!" he said.
She turned around and saw five orcs jump out and grab her. They tied her hands and started draging away.
"Legolas!" she shrieked as they dragged her away.
After he gathered his mind he ran after her with sword drawn.
"Yaviel!" he called as he cut the bushes in front of him. He looked around him but could see no sign of her
"Need some help?" said a voice. He turned and saw a human on a horse holding her hand down for him to grab.
"Aranel!" said Legolas.
"Take the hand elf." she replied to the elf.
He grabbed the hand and swung onto the horse and they went dashing off towards Rivendell to get help to rescue Yaviel.

They rode for an hour and arrived at Rivendell. It was standing tall and proud. There on the top of it was the new leader of Rivendell, Rimedur. He was standing at the top waiting for the Return of Aranel. With him was standing her mother, Eowyn of Rohan and Gondor. Her husband Faramir had been killed by Orcs and Eowyn, Aranel, and Nibenon, Aranel's brother had fled to Rivendell to ask the help and advice of Rimedur.


They were led to the place where the Counsel of Elrond once took place. When they entered they found Dain of the dwarves, Eowyn of Rohan, Rimedur, the King of the Sea elves Manwe, Eomer of Rohan, and some of the elves of Lorien.

"Legolas of Greenwood!" called the guard that escorted them there. The people rose and bowed before him. Rimedur rose and led him to the center of the room.

"Speak of the matter at hand." he said to Legolas.

Legolas spoke.
"The orcs, trolls and Goblins are invading every country." He said, "Every country has anarmy to deal with. The Shire, Greenwood, Gondor, Rohan, and many others. We must take a stand or all will be lost forever." As he finished he went and sat in a seat beside the Sea elves.
Rimedur then stood and spoke.
"I have all my people armed and on the march to Gondor. I would be honored if the dwarves me."
All the people started arguing. The people of Rohan wanted to march to Rohan, The people of Lorien wanted to march on Mordor, the sea elves insisted that Mirkwood be helped first as did the dwarves. In an hour they came up with no sollution. All held there opinions more important than the others.
Finally it came to fights. Dain fumped forward at Eomer with axe in hand and Eomer, Eowyn, and Aranel drew there swords and a duel started. The sea elves drew there swords and began to fight with the with the elves of Lorien. Rimedur started trying to make peace between them and Legolas sat in his seat thinking. Finally he stood and said,
"We must march to Greenwood."
The people turned to him in awe. He told them of the rings immediatley and they agreed. So the next morning the five peoples marched out of Rivendell fully armed. They set out for Greenwood.

Chapter III

Eruanna was riding with Eruapadion through a large valley. They had been riding all day, and, to the small and imature mind f Eruanna, for two days. She was hungry. She was deathly hungry. And she decided it was time to stop. She jumped off the horse leaving Eruaphadion alone on a galloping horse. The half elf turned and rode to her.

"We are stopping here and we are going to eat lunch." she declared firmlyas she did every. day.
"We are riding on until the real lunch time." came his usual reply.
"No!" came the usual response with the stomping of her left foot.
"Yes." came his usual answer with the jerking of the small hobbit onto the horse.

They rode on until the "real lunch time" which began an hour late according to Eruanna. Of course it was because he was use to finishing of a trail before relaxing. They sat down and began.
Eruaphadion pulled out some cram and gve it to Eruanna. She looked at it and in her usual tone of voice said,
"Cram! Anything else?" she said this and devoured it. He in reply through her an apple. She, in turn, threw in in the air and sut in two for she "needed practice" as she claimed even though she had done it since they first started on their journey. She devoured that and, as usual, claimed he had more than she. He in turn threw her his apple. Then, they rode on.

They rode out of the forest and into a field and into another forest. They went in fourteen yards and were than so surrounded by thorns that they stopped and drew their swords.
"Drethion (The name for her sword) for Eruanna!" she called and began to cut down the thorns.
The thorns on the bushes were at least two inches thick.
"Why are they attacking us so vigorously?" Eruaphadion said to himself. For the more they went in and the ore they cut that was doubled by fifty more bushes.

Suddenly they could not cut anymore. The bushes were as thick as young trees. They had to stop.
"What are we going to do?" asked Eruanna.
"Go around it." said Eruaphadion.
"What? We can't! The forest is too wide! And we have to get to Gondor!"
"If I let you through my plans will be ruined." said a voice. They instantly were thrown to the ground. They looked up and saw a man in a grey coat in front of them with a knarled fac. They looked and knew he was a great man.
"Many years ago, Saruman the White united himself to Sauron." said the man. "All his plans were ruined by a certain hobbit Frodo Baggins. Who took the One Ring to Mordor accompanied by Samwise Gamgee. And aiding Gondor and Rohan were Gandalf the White, Aragorn, Legolas Greenleaf, Gimli Elf-friend, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Peregrine Took. They travelled from The shire, to Bree, from Bree to Weathertop, from Weathertop to Rivendell, from Rivendell to Moria, from Moria to Lorien where they met Haldir, the worst of all. From there they went to the river of Anduin where they were split. Frodo went from Anduin to Emen Muil, From Emen Muil to Dagorland, from Dagorland to Barad-dur and from their, to Orodruin. There is much more to tell. But I will not delve into it."
"Your sources are correct. What does that have to do with us." said Eruanna.
"Revenge has started. I, Mordorias, has come to finish all those who even had part in his mission." Said the man.
"How do you know the story so well?" asked Eruanna.
"I was there. I followed him even to Mount Doom. I was invisible. Wearing this ring." With this he held out his hand. On it was a ring. "This was forged in the deeps of time. It was lost in a crack in a rock under the earth. I was captured by goblins and forced to work. I worked little but buried myself under the earth. I wicshed my life to end. I was there only a little. I turned and saw the brightest of lights. I dug. I came to it and found it. It was the ring. I put in on and it seemed as if I knew everything. I knew for one that a small hobbit was in a cave with the ceature, Gollum. I found him and then I followed every move for I knew he held the One Ring. Afterwards I followed every owner that ever carried it. When it was destroyed I fled. My ring lost most power. I was visible. Until I have killed off all people who even knew Frodo or his companions and gotten at least one of the elven rings that the son of Legolas guards, for I know he has them, my ring will be next to nothing." he said.
"I know him. And I know almost every member of the Fellowship of the ring." Said Eruanna drawing her sword and Eruaphadion did the same. "I also carry these." She said and held up the elven rings.

The man jumped in the air and swung downward with his staff. He hit the ground and all lit up. The bushes caught on fire (For he was the one who had caused them to grow) and they were surrounded by wraiths or ghosts. They started to march towards the two companions. The man laughed. Out of nowhere came another voice.
"Why may I ask do you trouble to resist me, Mordorias?" it said. Out of the fire jumped a human. In his hand was a sword. It held the sign of Gondor.
"Nibenon!" said Eruaphadion.

Cahpter Two

Legolas was running over a hill with delight in his eyes. He turned around and smiled.
"Hurry!" he said, "You really don't run like an elf."
He turned and dashed off over a hill.
"Come on!" he said again, "We have only climbed the very heights of this hill and your already tred! Fine elf you are!" He turned and dashed off.
Up the hill came a girl elf panting.
"Hold....stop......hold it you two faced, too tall, too fast, too stupid, too skinny, too orcish, half dwarvish, part elvish ring bearer!" said Yaviel.
Legolas laughed and said, "Listening to you I'd think you were my distant cousin!"
"Why?"
"Because you don't know me!" with this he laughed and dashed off.
"Oh, poo!" she replied and she went on walking down the hill.
Yaviel was running behind him as fast as she could could go.

They ran down the hill and they saw Bree.
"We're not going to to stop here daughter of Haldir." said Legolas
"Why not?" She asked.
"In case of spies." he replied.

Legolas and Yaviel quarreled like two good freinds for an hour or so and then decided to rest where they were so they sat down and started talking around a fire.
"My father was so proud of me when I told him that I would take the rings to middle-earth to protect them." said Legolas.
"You love your father Legolas don't you?" said Yaviel.
"Very much." Said Legolas. He looked at Yaviel and she was eating an apple with a face that showed she was hiding something.
"What are you hiding?" said Legolas.
Yaviel gave an answer quick and sharp. "Nothing! Nothing!" with this she rose and walked a few paces.
"What is it?" asked Legolas.
"Nothing I said."
Legolas thought for a moment and went back to eating.

Chapter I of Book Two: The War of the Seven Rings

As Eruaphadion rode with Eraunna in front of him, he was forced to let his horse have his head as he road through the forest with branches swinging and slashing at his helmeted head and face. Eruanna in front of him, struggled to stay on the horse and duck as the branches swung at her head; she was thankful for Eruaphadion in back of her, which helped to block swinging branches, but did not catch all of them. Her eyes were blurred with hot, salty tears which over flowed and streamed down her cheeks, streaking through the dirt and grime on her face from battle.
Inside, she was tormented at having to leave her friend Legolas, whom she loved dearly as a brother. "I had to," She told herself sorrowfully as she wiped her sleeve on her face to rid the tears in her hot, flushed face, "I cannot carry the rings with him along. I had to go! May he be safe....I hope I see him again. I will see him again! I will! But first....to Gondor! Just remember that Eraunna! TO GONDOR!" She repeated to herself, with fierce Hobbit determination, as she ducked a branch and urged the horse on faster.
The horse ran and ran further, and further into the green, whispery forest. Eruanna and Eurauphadion had been riding for 4 hours on the speeding horse. "EURAUPHADION!" she yelled to him above the din of the horses feet, "LET'S STOP! There's a stream up ahead!"
"Alright." He yelled back to the young hobbit girl. He admired her greatly, especially her courage and determination, but wondered at her knowledge of things since she had admitted she had never left the Shire. As they stopped there sweating, panting horse, Eurauphadion asked the girl as she bent and washed her face and hands in the cool stream,
"How did you know this was here? You even admitted to me that you had never left your home, the Shire. How did you know this stream would be here! I saw you purposely head this way, I'm sure when I was on the horse."
Euranna smiled and stopped washing for a moment.
"That's true," she replied quietly, "I did turn the horse, and I did know this would be here." Finished washing, she picked up her armor and while buckling her sword to her slim waist as she walked to the now refreshed horse she replied,

"Because I studied and memorized the maps of my father for years and also studied them right before we left....." She then slung her armor onto the horse and turned to Eurauphadion and said smartly but with a smile, "Just like you should have done."

Eruaphadion turned to her back with equal smartness and replied,
"I would have if I known that I was to lead a small hopeless hobbit-"

Eruanna swiftly pulled out her sword and faced him with hot anger,
"SMALL, HOPELESS, hobbit is it? Pull out your sword elf-human, or you hopeless lost human-elf, and we'll see who is so hopeless."

Eruaphadion drew his long sword, "If you insist."

Eruanna, smiled and with two deft swings he and his sword were knocked to the ground with a hobbit leaning over him and sword at his throat.

"Don't worry. I'll remind you to study the map..." and then she jumped onto the horse and as she put away the sword she added, "oh yes. And don't forget some fencing lessons as well."

Eruaphadion, smiled and got up and then leaped behind the hobbit. "Don't worry my young Friend, I won't doubt or test your strength with the sword again...just your height." Eruanna laughed as she urged the horse forward and they sped off again, happy yet sad as she moved towards their doom.

Chapter IX

Legolas was lying in bed thinking who to send. Yaviel? No, as much as he would like to get her away from him no. He knew that she could not withstand the hosts and hosts and hosts of orcs which are near Greenwood. Eruaphadion! Perfect! He was strong! But then again, he was half human, and he would not send a human with rings of power. But he had carried the other four this far, no. Legolas could not risk the future of middle-earth. Eruanna he would not consider. She was too small. She was too weak. She may have been trained by Pippin but Pippin wasn't the best either. And Legolas would not ask her to throw her life away.

He woke up the next morning to Yaviel's face.
"Get up! Wargs!" She said. He jumped up and the other two were standing side by side. Eruaphadion with a broadsword in his right hand


and he now had the cloak he was wearing off of him and was wearing mail and a helm upon his head. Yaviel and Legolas put arrows on their strings and drew it back to their ears.
"No!" cried Legolas. "This will only get us killed! We need to get the rings out now or it will never be done!"
"Who then?" said Yaviel.
"Me." said Legolas.
"What!" called Yaviel.
"Eruaphadion is part human and I will never send a human with rings of power!" said Legolas.
"He's right!" said Eruaphadion.
"And your a girl." said Legolas
"What!" said Yaviel, "Then Eruanna! Not you! Your too important to be lost!"
"No!" said Legolas.
"Yes! It's the only way!" said Eruanna.
"I won't let you throw your life away!" said Legolas.
"It's my life," said Eruanna. "and if I choose to give it for middle-earth, so be it. And it's not for you to decide! All we can do is decide what to do with the time given us."
"But you are not chosen!" said Legolas.
"Eruaphadion will accompany me. Eruaphadion, put me on the horse and ride behind me." she said.
"No!" called Legolas with tears in his eyes. He tried to catch her but was held back by Yaviel. "I won't let you kill yourself!"
She was on the horse and she rode off with Eruaphadion. Legolas watched her until she was out of sight. He then turned with Yaviel and they started taking down wargs one by one. After five minutes they had fifty seven on the ground. The wargs stopped short turned and retreated.

Legolas turned and sat down with Yaviel.

"Why," said Legolas, "did you hold me back?"

"For the sake of yourself." she replied.

"What?" said Legolas.

"If I had let you go you would have suffered the fate of Frodo Baggins." said Yaviel.

"But you are always teasing me and pushing me around." said Legolas

"I at least know that if you die," she continued, "all elves would die."

"Are you refering to the fact that I am King?" asked Legolas.

"Yes," replied the elven-maiden. "Come on grumpy Let's move."

So they rose and started on a journey which they did not know would be the most extraordinary and magnificent next to the War of the Ring.

Chapter VIII

They were running on the road as fast as their elven (Not to mention hobbit) feet could. Though, as I have said they were running as fast as they could, the wargs caught up. Of course they were now shorter than they use to be. Legolas shot two more arrows, but the more he killed, the more they kept coming. Legolas knew their was only one more thing to do, he shot a rider and jumped onto the warg. Before he could grab up Yaviel and Eruanna, he felt someone hit him over the head and he went roling onto the floor.

A goblin rose a spear but was stabbed from behind. He looked up and saw the southron throw off the mask and rode to Legolas and at the same time he was killing Wargs and Goblins.

"Jump on!" said the rider obviously a man of Gondor. Legolas grabbed Eruanna and put her onto the horse. The horse turned and rode off with Yaviel and Legolas running behind.

They came to a river. It was the Brandywine. Eruanna hopped off the horse with Legolas' help and watered the horse as if nothing in the world had happened. The man came and sat down with the elves. When they had regained their strength they began to talk.


"My name is Eruaphadion," said the man.

"An elven name and a human face?" said Yaviel.

"Yes," said Eruaphadion, "I'm half elf."


"Is something wrong?" asked Yaviel.

"No," said Eruaphadion, "Worried." With this he pulled out a map. "In the shire wargs, orcs, and goblins, are closing in. In Greenwood Southrons are closing in. In Gondor Orcs of the mountains are marching to Osgiliath. In Rohan trolls and Southrons have captured Orthanc. And Lorien and The Misty Montains have sent dwarfs and elves to ally with Greenwood. There is little chance of surviving this offensive."

"This is worse than the War of the Ring and the Battle of Five Armies." said Yaviel.

"Much worse. We will need all," said Legolas.

"All!" said Eruaphadion, "You speak as if you could leave and bring them all together!"

"And I can," said Legolas rising. He looked tall and proud as a king who has returned. He reached out his right hand. The sun suddely came behind his hand and his clothing turned like a white robe. On his hand their were three rings.

Eruaphadion rose and thrust out his right hand. The same happened and on his hand were four more rings.

"Behold!" said Yaviel. "The elven and dwarfish rings!"

"So," said Legolas, "We have all of them."

"Yes. And they must be distributed to stop this catastrophe or all will collapse." said Eruaphadion.

"How! I am the heir to the thrown of Greenwood and if I go there I can unite the three armies, and drive the Southrons back to Mordor and than the armies of the free people of Middle-earth can fight and destroy the power of Evil!"

"It is possible," said Eruaphadion, "And you could deliver the four dwarvish rings to the dwarves."

"But who will deliver the rings to the elves? He cannot bear four rings! He will be chased endlessly and definently fail!" said Yaviel.

"Another must travel to Gondor and wait for the elves." said Eruaphadion.

"Let's sleep and decide in the morning," said Legolas.

"Very well." said Yaviel.

They called Eruanna and they slept.

Chapter VII continued

Legolas turns and they start walking down the road.
Legolas started a song. "The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began, I'll follow if I can. Yes, I must follow if I can."

They came to a bridge. Legolas turned to the side and saw something strange. It looked like a horse, wait no it was a tree, no, it had a head of a horse, what was that thing? He put an arrow on the string and drew it back to his ear.
"What is it you old grump?" said the elven maiden.
Legolas was aout to answer when out of the bushes came a black horse and a southron riding on it. He stopped for a second, turned to the forest, drew a sword, and called, "Charge!" With this he came forward. Behind him came, to Eruanna's eyes, thousands of Wargs and goblins. Realy there were fifty.

Legolas let the arrow fly. It struck a warg's leg. The warg triped and tripped three more with his fall. Yaviel put an arrow on string and after four arrows four came down. Eruanna drew a sword and ran at them. She stopped and a warg was running towards her. She jumped to the side and killed the goblin and sprang onto the warg and stabbed the head. As it fell she slid off the mouth onto the floor. She turned and did the same with the next three. On the fourth one, she did the same up to the part of sliding off. Her sword was stuck in the thick scull. She tried to pull it out but was flung forward a few feet.

When she looked up she was surrounded by wargs. She looked for the sword but it was out of Grasp. A warg rider started to aproach. She fell to the floor and suddenly the warg was shot by one of Yaviel's arrows.
"Run!" Yaviel called to her. Eruanna ran and came to the bridge.
"We're on the border," called Legolas, "of hobbit territory and orc and goblin territory.
"Let's kill 'em!" said Eruanna.

"No! Run!" said Legolas.


They started running and they came to a forest.
