Love Can Fight Any Battle (Legolas/Hermione Love Story

Chapter 18: The Four Hunters

Three nights and three days they tracked the party of Urah-kai without stop. Only a occasion stop for Gimli and Aragorn to rest. They ran across the wasteland. Aragorn was farther in front of the rest looking for tracks while the others trailled behind. Autheil stopped dead in her tracks as a vision came upon her

The group of Urah-kai stopped, one of them sniffed the air.

She then saw Pippin smile and say "Aragorn."

Then then leaf brooch of Lorién on the ground.

Legolas stood beside her as she came out of it. "What did you see?" he asked, he had picked up on the fact that she had inherited the gift of foresight from the conversation they had before. "They're alive but I think they picked up our scent." she said and rushed after Aragorn Legolas behind her.

She caught sight of Aragorn listening through a rock "There pace has quickened." he whispered to himself but thankfully for elven ears she heard him. He lifted his head and looked beyond "They must have caught our scent." he continued confirming her suspicions. Aragorn turned to them "Hurry!" he yelled to them Legolas joined her side "Come on Gimli." he said and followed after Aragorn.

"Three days and nights of pursuit. No food. No rest. No sigh of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell." he said as he followed behind

"I gave you Lembas earlier." Autheil yelled back.

"I mean real food lassy, no offense." he said as he ran.

"None take but I don't think well find any real food soon in this wasteland nor do we have the time for it so your gonna have to deal with it. But I promise I will let you fill your stomach to your heart's desire when we get real food as long as we have the time for it." she told him, Gimli grumbled something but she didn't pay attention.

She caught up to Aragorn as they ran the landscape following the vibrating sound of the pounding of the Orcs as they ran.

"There alive. I saw it in a vision." she told Aragorn. "Good." was all he said as he ran.

They continued to run until they came into a valley like space. Aragorn stopped noticing a leaf brooch. He picked up the brooch.

"There alive, Pippin left it for us to know." Autheil said.

"Less than a day ahead of us." Aragorn said "Come." he said as they began to run again. Gimli hen came tumbling down the side of the cliff probably from losing his balance.

"Come on Gimli." Autheil encouraged.

Legolas turned as he ran next to her. "We're gaining on them." he said.

"I'm wasted on cross country. Us, dwarfs are natural sprinters. Very dangerous on the shorter distances." he yelled at them making both Elves roll their eyes.

"Rohan, home of the horse Lords." Aragorn said as he looked over the land. "Something strange is at work here. Something evil gives speed to these creatures, sets it's will against us."

Legolas and Autheil jumped up on some of the rocks in front of them to get a better look at things. "Autheil, Legolas, what do your elf-eyes see?" Aragorn asked.

"The Uruks turn North-East." Autheil informed him.

"They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!" Legolas concluded.

Autheil concentrated on Merry and Pippin in her mind, trying to summon her foreseeing powers. She closed her eyes and tried.

It was night.

Merry and Pippin crawling.

Orcs fighting men in the dark.

A dark forest.
