23 days till battle
Thranduil POV
It had been seven days since the day Shiva had been bitten by the spiders. After a very forced day of rest, Shiva had began to train my guard or army in the ways of fighting orcs. The men were extremely scared of her and so would I have been in their position. Legolas's birthday was in four days and he was getting very excited, he had no idea what was going on in the kingdom. I had had a late meeting and was going down to my bedroom when I heard crying coming from Shiva's room. I was generally surprised for obvious reasons. I knocked on the door once and pushed it open. Shiva was sitting by her window, dressed in the same black leather pants and tunic that she had been wearing since she arrived. Remember to get her fitted for clothes I thought.
"Are you alright, Shiva." I asked
"No" She said quietly, which was quite unlike her
"Why are you crying?"
"They're all going to die, the guard, the soldiers, they cannot fight the orcs. They will die and it will be my fault!"
"They're soldiers that's their job, Shiva they'll die for the people they love. You know as well as I that if the orcs get control of Mordor the entirety of Middle Earth will suffer." I wasn't used to this kind of thing with Shiva. She had always been someone stronger than I and now I could see she had a weakness. Shiva couldn't stand people dying at her cost. I guess all of us have our weaknesses.
"I see, Legolas gave this to me earlier. " Shiva held out a letter, and invitation to his birthday party. I smiled.
"That child is so funny, he likes you, you know. Talks about you apparently you're teaching him to shoot a bow."
"He wasn't supposed to tell you that." Shive said looking guilty.
"How old is he turning?"
"304."
"I'll be there, for the little monkey."
"Goodnight Shiva." I stood to leave the room.
"Night." She called as the door to her room closed.
Sort of a filler chapter, I'm really trying to give them emotion. Tell me, is it working? Thanks for reading! I have over 400 reads now. Bye!
