It was all worth it. (Book 02)

Prologue - Oh, Gandalf.

A mountain. A mountain covered in white snow that was glistening on sunlight looking very beautiful. The mountain of Caradhras which was terrified in its own way but as beautiful as well. And it would have been more beautiful if it was not for the fearful voice of Livia's friends and the terrifying sound of the blarog of Morgoth.

"You cannot PASS!"

"Gandalf!"

"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. Go back to the Shadow." Livia heard her friend's voice. With the distance for Livia, it was like a whisper. "The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun!" Gandalf screamed. Then, Livia saw inside the mines. Everything was shattered. The bridge had been broken and the fellowship was frozen, not moving the slightest. Finally, Gandalf appeared.

He looked awfully tired. His clothes were ripped. His forehead was covered in sweat as well as his body. He had his staff and one hand and the sword in the other. A pure power radiated from Gandalf make it so warm around him. He was after all he went through, Gandalf the grey. The second most powerful wizard. And anyone who see him now could see it.

"You shall not PASS!" he screamed and brought his sword and staff hitting it on the floor which created a white massive glistening light. It soon disappeared. But he looked courageous more than before. Livia could feel that the glistening light was a shield against the Balrog's darkness making it harder to cross it. Then, the whip of the terrifying balrog met with the bridge breaking it down. It only stopped as it met with Gandalf's magic. The spirit of Morgoth started to fall as it met with the pure and white magic of Gandalf's. For a moment, all looked calm as it was calm before the storm. Gandalf looked at the fellowship with relief washing over his face as all the others smiled at him greatly and proudly. Frodo was about to run near Gandalf but.....

Soon, it turned back into a dark one as the nasty sound of the whip of balrog met with Gandalf's legs. Gandalf's fall for the edge of the bridge, staying only with the help of the bridge certainly did not help the situation. The fellowship was too shocked for a moment and they stared at Gandalf. Frodo snapped out of it screaming Gandalf's name. Boromir who was the nearest to Frodo, held him back as Frodo started to run towards Gandalf. Boromir was right. It was dangerous to do that but even Livia could not deny that if she was there, she would have run to aid her friend as well. And Gandalf knew that more than anyone. He looked at Frodo in the eye as Frodo's screaming stopped.

"Fly you fools." He said resembling his selflessness Livia always relied on and sometimes hated as he let his grip loose allowing the great darkness take over him. The agony screams of Frodo pierced the silence making it even harder to bear.

Gandalf took control of his falling position and held his sword as the nasty balrog tried to fight Gandalf. Gandalf was like a deer in the massive size of the Balrog yet Gandalf was not less courageous. And they fought. In the disgusting darkness, they fought. A great light and the endless darkness. It looked as a star surrounded by burning flames. The sound of the swords was cut by the terrifying sound of the screeches of the balrog and the long whip it carried. The sounds echoed in Livia's ears as Gandalf let the sword guide him in Balrog's body. Soon, they neared the end.

The end was a massive water pond which helped Livia's fear. If it's not for the massive orange fire erupted from the balrog, it would have looked beautiful. Both Gandalf and Balrog who were still fighting fell to the water with a loud splash which echoed through Livia's ears as she awoke.
