Melodia

I am probably not going to keep this one much longer as I no longer have any interest in sock puppet play here. If you have friended me, my new journal is here. I have added most of you in my new friends list and hope you will add me back. If I have missed you by mistake, friend me and I will friend you back, but please note, no links related to sock puppet play. Thanks!

Though I am busy with my duties back in Mirkwood, I was determined to help as much as I could in the recovery of Miranda, so I offered to meet the rescuers on the way to my wood and show them the way in to their destination. I have also offered them a number of archers who have volunteered to go along and help the cause. I hope this rescue is as successful as the last one that Ungoliant caused us to depart on. One day, the spider bitch really has to die.

Melodia

Being a bridesmaid at Faramir & Issy's wedding was an experience. Flowers, cake, kidnapping, dwarves, beer, llamas and Denny getting shot with an arrow. All in all, these folks know how to throw a party.

I noticed Legolas was not here. I wonder where he is. I really must find him and talk to him....today.

( For LegolasCollapse )

Holy Eru! Take a little time away and the whole fucking place goes insane.

My brain has officially melted.

I will be here on Friday for the wedding. I chose this dress , hope it's ok Issy!

hugs and congrats to all, will catch up individually as soon as I return.

Given the fact that Legolas is still recovering and not up to travel, I decided to make the trek back to Mirkwood to return the warriors into the King's keeping. It probably wasn't necessary for me to go, but I miss home and, well, I needed some time away to think. There has been much on my mind lately and I sorely needed space to breathe and consider it all.

Well, Legolas is free and clean again and back to his usual self.

I sit back, fletching arrows, thinking on things and watching him "make the rounds".

(ooc reminder: this is a summary post - NOT the beginning of the detail post. That will be a separate post. Details will be posted here in a link once they are completed. If there is someone here who believes they should be or wants to be a part of this that is not listed, please email or IM me.)

::After recovering sufficiently to make the trip to face Legolas, Melodia stood facing her companions and began to lay out her battle plan. The wounded, Miss Lorie, a cook and a some of the supplies would remain here with a contingency of warriors, lead by Erelleth, to protect them. Anyone wounded in our upcoming battle among the army will be returned here for her care.

The remaining army travelled under the lead of Gelu, stopping near the castle and waiting to protect from outsiders.

Venturing inside the castle with Melodia (should they choose to) will be Boromir, Faramir, Eomer, Isildur, Bibi, Meidh and the three healers; Galen, Elrond and Glorfindel.

Once inside, Melodia prepared those who would do battle, while the healers prepared to keep them alive. The battle ensued with Melodia and her companions facing "Gotholas" and an unexpected foe alongside him. Fighting of both weapons and magics went on for quite a while, until both the foe and the evil of the ring were broken.

Legolas was returned to himself and no one died.

The one ring abandoned Legolas at the moment of his defeat. Without touching it, Melodia cast a spell using the last of her magic energy and cast it into a void far away from Middle Earth. ((Unknown to her, her magic failed and it did not go into the void. It landed, still in middle earth, hidden from plain view and awaiting it's next master.))

One of the first things Legolas asked for? A bath. ;-)

Ok...details to follow::

::Bringing my eyes back into focus, I am slightly startled to realize that my face is burrowed in a decidedly male neck and there are male arms around me. Since I do not normally wake up this way lately, it takes a minute to realize where I am and who I am with. I pull my head back and look into the deep blue eyes of my friend Galen. He smiles and asks how I'm feeling. I assure him I suffer no ill effects of the battle, other than hunger, thirst and a desire for a bath. He laughs softly and moves away from me to help me to my feet. We move out of the tent into the sunshine, it is about midday I'd judge, and see the others going about their day....taking care of wounded, nursing their own wounds, enjoying restful time with friends who survived the attack. I walk among them, speaking to them and getting assessments of how everyone is. Galen shows me the makeshift area for the wounded and I move among them, talking to each one. I ask about the dead and there were thankfully few of them and all the wounded are progressing nicely. We move over to a large tent set up, get food and drink and move to sit with my friends and fellow companions on this journey - all of whom smell strangely like Avacado.::

In the interest of wrapping up this particular storyline in a practical manner which will be tough with schedules this week, we decided to do it this way. I will post a "wrap up" post that will tell a few basics and allow Legolas to be good again - so the poor mun can take a break from the evils - and then as time allows the actual story will be done in closed post and posted for anyone who actually wants to read the details.

::Throwing my cloak over my shoulders, I plant my feet and prepare to face the dragon. I close my eyes and take a deep breath and begin my protection spell, hearing the calming voice of Hithralas, the master mage, in my mind.

Have Faith. You must be one with your power, one with the crystal, if it is to aid your powers.

I lift my head calmly and look the dragon in the eyes. It seems to sense that I am there to destroy it. I see it eye me curiously at first, then more cautious as it determines that I do indeed have the power that will work against it.

The dragon lifts it's head and lets out a fierce scream. It directs a magical bolt at me and I feel it hit, though I am not injured. The crystal around my neck seems to absorb the power and it glows a bright yellow. Angered, the dragon fires spells at me, ice bolt, magic missle..none make contact and the power of all is absorbed by my crystal.

I look about and realize that there are now many dead or dying dragon bits and I sense the weakness this is causing in the great beast. Deciding that this is my time, I prepare to cast the final spell.

I crouch slightly, a ball of light forming soundlessly in my hands. I speak to it, almost like coaxing a spark, bring light into being. All my will is bent upon it, as my friends guard me, protecting me from the frantic attacks of the dragon and his splinters.

Gelu, standing tall and defiant at the head of the group, batted back one splinter after another as it dove in upon them. The scene seemed hopeless, all of their hope was bound in that tiny ball of light, that one spark, that Melodia channeled and brought to bear. Those close enough to hear above the fighting heard her voice growing stronger in her spellcasting. Her words becoming inarticulate babbling, more primitive sounds than an actual language. Her pupils dilated, wild looking. The wind began to blow hard and her
long blong hair flew behind her in the air along with her cloak. The more fierce the wind and her voice became, the brighter the light in her hands grew. Those around her began to look away as the light grew too bright to look upon and it seemed to dim even the sun. Finally, the light grew huge in her hands, her voice raised to be heard over the wind and the creatures stopped and stared in fear. Melodia lifted the ball of light up and cast it at the dragon. It encircled the great dragon and lifted it off the ground, then slowly crushed the black heart in upon itself until it collapsed into dust on the ground. All the splinter creatures shrieked as they, too, turned to dust and were gone.

Everyone looked around in shock at the sudden destruction of the enemy. Only Galen noticed Melodia falling and caught her before she hit the ground, all her strength spent.
