The screams and smell of fire and smoke is what first reached the eyes and nose of our Prince. He stared in shocked surprise for a moment before turning to his father and Soren. "We must help them." He said, trying to get them to do so. As his gaze searched for those who needed their help and rescue.

"Father, we have no time to go back, by the time we did they would all be but dead!" Legolas exclaimed.
His father turned back around, facing his son. "We cannot fight such a beast on our own. The only way to help them is to kill it. The Dwarves will do nothing, and these people have no weapons. Therefore they're in need of our army. " Legolas sighed, and this time it was he who began to walk away.
"Ion nin to where are you going?" The Elven King of Mirkwood inquired. Seeing his son go. "To help the people." The Leif replied as he continued walking. Though this time more swiftly. The people needed help, and once more he would be there to aid them.

The creature roared in pain, choking on lack of air and in blood as he flew up in the darkened , ash filled sky. Weak with agony he did not reach his goal . Falling, he slowly died. Hitting the ground. The dragon was dead....
