ABONNEN DI GALADH - Born under the trees [ Legolas Love story ]

The spies of Saruman

We stopped for rest. I wanted to go on a walk around the nice place but noticed that Sam was alone. Cooking something in a small pot
" What is it, master Gamgee?" I asked him.
" Just some potatoes with herbs. I wanted to make some meat but there is no living creature, one that I could bake neither." he laughed and mixed the potatoes.

Merry and Pippin were practicing sword fighting with Boromir. Even though he was a bit mean he was my friend. He looked like their father when they knocked him down on the ground laughing hardly.
" We won!" they screamed.
" Well... I guess you're better than me." he laughed and ruffeled their hair. Adorable. I thought to myself.
Then Gimli spoke up:
" I think that we are taking a long way around, Gandalf. We could go trough the mines of Moria. My cousin Balin will give us a royal welcome!"
Oh no. Mines no. Please. I prayed.
"

No Gimli. I would not go there until we won't have another choice."
Hopefully.

" Nathìniel?" A quiet voice spoke up. It was Pippin.
" Yes ?"
" Do you know any good song ?"
I was surprised. No one ever asked me to sing.
" Well... There is one song I know from a very young age. It is a dwarvish song that some wanderers who seeked refuge sung when they sat with us beside the fire undrr the roof of our house. " I sat on a rock and started to sing. My voice was perfectly echoing in the mountains.

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

Everyone sat in the circle. Legolas and Aragorn by my sides. I continued.

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb higher into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

Then Aragorn started to sing with me. I wonder how does he know the words.

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Then Pippin and Merry joined us.

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Frodo started the second verse, Pippin joined him too.

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Sam continued.

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Boromir joined us in the refrein.

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Then Legolas looked into my eyes, he smiled and sang with his heart the final verse.

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Finally Gimli and Gandalf joined.

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
I see fire
Oh you know I saw a city burning out (fire)
And I see fire
Feel the heat upon my skin, yeah (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side.

" That was amazing!" Pippin yelled happily.
" I'm not a good singer but thank you."
" You have a lovely voice." said Legolas dreamely and I blushed. Luckily he didn't see it. He was looking at the sky.

" What's that?" Sam asked, pointing at a black cloud of birds.
" Just a whisp of cloud." Gimli said.
" It's not a cloud !" I yelled.
" Crebain from Dunland ! Hide! Legolas screamed, grabbing my hand. He pulled me next to him and we hid behind a rock. I couldn't stop blushing as he was holding me tightly next to his chest. His heart was beating fast.
When the cloud flew away his grip weakened and we joined others.
" Spies of Saruman. They're watching this pass. We have to go over the pass of Caradhras." Gandalf said.
