Perfect/ Legolas Greenleaf

Chapter ten

They stopped at the area where all the dead orcs were plopped over each other, an orcs' head stabbed through a spear/sword which was in the ground.

Luna jumped off onyx and instantly looked around to try any sight of the two hobbits.

"It's one of their wee belts."Gimli spoke up as he held up what he found.

Luna turned away, clenching her fist as she murmured something in elvish which was most likely a curse. Legolas doing something similar as he looked at the ground and spoke something in elvish.

Aragorn on the other hand kicked an helmet away and let out a scream, falling to his knees.

"We failed them."Gimli stated.

"Do not point it out. It is like putting salt in a wound."Luna replied, slightly biting her lip to stop herself from snapping.

"A hobbit lay here."Aragorn said after a time as he looked at the ground,"And the other."

"They crawled. Their hands were bound."Aragorn continued, as he walked forward(the other three following him) and picked up a rope,"The bounds were cut. They ran over here. They were followed. Tracks lead away from the battle... into Fangorn forest."

They stopped right in the entrance of the forest, Luna's eyes inspecting it.

"Fangorn? What madness drove them in there?"Gimli asked.

"They were followed, scared, and certainly about to die. I think they acted out of fear, wanting to find a safe place."Luna answered the dwarf, slightly glancing at him before focusing back on the forest.

-

Long story short, the four of them entered the forest and were now walking through it since hours. Luna had made sure that onyx(her horse) was safe as long as she wasn't with her, before stepping into the forest.

"Orc blood."Gimli pointed out as he put it on his fingers, while the other three already had begun to continue.

"These are strange tracks."Aragorn stated.

"The air is so close in here."Gimli spoke again.

"This forest is old. Very old. Full of memory.. and anger."Legolas explained, just as the trees speaking could be heard,"The trees are speaking to each other."

"Gimli, you moron of a dwarf out the axe down if you don't want to end up as a plant."Luna spoke, making Gimli lower his axe,"They have feelings, my friend."She added as she calmed down.

"The elves began it. Walking up the trees, teaching them to speak."Legolas spoke up.

"Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hm? Except the consistency of squirrel droppings." Gimli said.

Luna narrowed her eyes as she moved forward,"Aragorn! Legolas! Echui ennas."She spoke as she ran forward to get a better look, Legolas and Aragorn instantly following.(Something's out there)

"Man cerog?"Aragorn asked.(What can you see?)

Luna turned to Legolas as if to want to know if he sees the same, he gave her a small nod.
