Love Can Fight Any Battle (Legolas/Hermione Love Story

Chapter 34: Final Battle

The next day everyone was in a rush to get ready. Autheil ran down the city, out on to the field and whistled loudly. Autheil waited a minute before she heard the neigh of horses. Autheil smiled as she watched Brego, Arod and Maethor run down the hill towards her. Autheil led them to the stables and tended to them before going to prepare herself.

Autheil dressed in her usual pants, tunic, chain mail and breastplate with her hair braided out of her face. She quickly resharpened all her weapons and strapped them onto her. Legolas came in and gathered Autheil but before she could leave the room he grabbed her and smashed his lips down onto hers. Autheil kissed back with just as much love and passion after the shock wore off. They broke apart for a breath and lent their foreheads on each other.

"I love you...more than anything." Legolas told her.

"I love you more than anything as well." She told him and pecked his lips one more time before they walked out hand in hand.

They went out the the stables and readied the horses. Everyone was present and ready for battle no words were spoke as they left the city behind and entered into the wasteland.

They all sneered as the Black Gates came into view. The men were soon set at the ready as we waited.

"Where are they?" Pippin asked. Aragorn then lead himself, Éomer, Merry who rode behind him, Legolas, Gimli who rode with him, Gandalf and Pippin who rode together and Autheil.

"Let the Lord of the Dark Land come forth! May justice be done upon him!" Aragorn yelled.

They waited a second before the gates opened. Out came a rider who is to be Sauron's mouth.

"Ugh can I kill it?" Autheil whispers to the others.

"Not yet." Aragorn tells her.

"My master Sauron the Great bids thee welcome." he says cheerfully and smile the ugliest smile they had all seen. The thing had open wounds around its mouth and inhuman like yellow teeth.

All look in disgust at the thing.

"Is there no one here with authority to treat with me?" he asked.

"We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed" Gandalf says draw the thing's attention while the thing growls. "Tell your master this: the army of Mordor are disband. he is to depart these lands never to return."

"Oh Old Greybeard." says the Mouth acknowledging Gandalf. "I have a token I was bidden to show thee." he says and the holds up a shiny white shirt. They all immediately recognized it as Frodo's Mithril shirt. They all gasp in surprise.

"Frodo?" Pippin asks quietly.

"Can I do it now?" Autheil growls to Legolas next to her but no one responds.

"Frodo!" Pippin repeats as the Mouth throws the shirt towards Gandalf. The Mouth smiles at their pain.

"Slience." Gandalf orders.

"No!" says Merry.

"Silence!" he rebukes them for they must not show pain.

"The halfling was dear to thee I see. Who would have known that one so small could endure so much pain. And-" Autheil cut the Mouth off she knew it was a lie to make them lose courage.

"Liar!" she yelled at them. "You terrible, filthy, worthless, lying scum of the earth!"

"Oh but it's true Autheil daughter of Elrond. He's dead and will you be. War is for men." the Mouth told them.

"I've been seen my fair share of bloodshed and yours will be next. And if Frodo was dead, why didn't you bring out his head, make us really lose hope unless you didn't really do it." Autheil snared at him. The mouth seemed taken back at her forwardness.
