TALE OF LEGOLAS AND RAENASLEE (LOTR STORY)

THE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP

CHAPTER 13

THE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP

“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.” 

― Paulo Coelho, Brida

Later, they noticed that Boromir and Frodo have gone, they all dashed into the woods. Raenaslee took out her sword just in case. As they’re running they heard the sound of metal against metal. They saw a host of huge Uruk-hai. Aragorn on his back, Legolas starts shooting arrows and Gimli swings his axe.

“Hey! Over here!” Merry’s voice sounded.

“This way!” Pippen said,

The two hobbits distracting the Uruk-hai, Frodo ran down towards the boats.

Boromir came running up the hill behind the two hobbits, Merry and Pippen even start to help with their daggers. Boromir was moving the hobbits back to the boats. More came as they moved, and Merry and Pippen lose their daggers to a kill they made, so they started throwing rocks.

But then, an arrow had pierced Boromir heart, a second arrow pierced his stomach. But Boromir stood up and continued fighting as another arrow hit Boromir at the ribs. He fell to his knees, and Merry and Pippen charge. They picked up their daggers and tried to fight to save Boromir. The Uruk-hai picked the hobbits up and started running away with them.

The Uruk-hai with the bow drew back an arrow, and then Aragorn jumped out and knocked the beast over. It kicked Aragorn off and up against a tree, the Uruk-hai threw his shield and it pinned Aragorn to the tree by his throat. Aragorn escaped from the tree and managed to cut its head off. He then ran to Boromir.

Out of nowhere Legolas, Raenaslee and Gimli came.

“Boromir!” Raenaslee cried when he saw the man dying.

“Boromir, hang on there. Don’t worry, everything is going to be fine.” She said when she came to his side.

Raenaslee put her hand on his heart to heal him in no time. But Boromir stopped her, holding her hand saying, “Raenaslee, don’t do this. I know you want to but don’t. Save your strength for Middle-Earth.”

Boromir then looked at the other’s then at Raenaslee, “They need you more than I do. And I’m so sorry for the things I’ve said and done unto you.” He said caressing her cheek.

Raenaslee closed her eyes, trying to hold back her tears as she stated, “Oh Boromir, I shouldn’t have doing this if I didn’t forgive you. I forgive you all along, and that’s why I must do this.”

But he quoted, “If you truly forgive me, then you must not do this. Just let me rest in peace.”

By and by, he dropped his hand, immobile. And his eyes gone dim and closed. Alas! Boromir, son of Denethor had died.

They took Boromir’s body back to the beach and laid him in one of the boats. They set his sword on his chest and had him holding it and sent him down through the falls, for the river would take him to the city of Gondor.

“Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore,” Legolas said, and then looked at Aragorn’s face, “You mean not to follow them.” He stated.

Then Raenaslee looked at Aragorn who’s beside her and she stated, “What now Aragorn?”

“Frodo’s fate is no longer in our hands.”

“Then it has all been in vain, the fellowship has failed.” Gimli said sadly.

“Not if we hold true to each other.” Aragorn said hopefully.

“We must hurry after Merry and Pippen.” Raenaslee said pleadingly, they all look at her.

“She is right. We will not abandon Merry and Pippen to torment and death. Not while we have strength left.” Aragorn said, “Leave all that can be spared behind, we travel light. Let us hunt some orc.”

Gimli agreed. Aragorn and Gimli ran to the woods, Raenaslee did the same, but she stopped for a moment and looked back and saw Legolas standing, she could see in his very eyes that he was thinking something very sorrowful for him. And it’s up to her to comfort him. She told him, “I know you were thinking about the broken fellowship, Legolas. And that reminds you about what happened between us at the past.”

Legolas looked up at her, and Raenaslee connected her eyes with his, “Legolas, the torn between us was already reunited. Tell me, we have faith in those years, believing that we would be together soon, haven’t we?”

“Yes.”

“Then why can’t we just put our faith on this wrecked fellowship like the way we kept our faith when we were parted?” Raenaslee added.

“As long as you are with us, we can repair this broken fellowship.” He said with a smile.

“Want to play chase?” she asked him happily.

The prince just smiled at the princess and then they ran to catch up Aragorn and Gimli.

 

~Just like what the Lady Galadriel said, the fellowship would be broken. But it was just the beginning and we must still hold our faith to reunite. My name is Raenaslee Elflove.
