Part Eighteen
Legolas was out hunting deer in the forest outside his hidden home when he heard something nearby. Whoever they were, they were noisy and they weren’t speaking Sindarin. It was a similar language but very harsh and guttural. He hid down behind a large row of wild roses that grew all over the forest.
They came into view. There was a band of twenty-five or so of them.
Orcs!
How had he not smelled them before they came into sight? He certainly smelled their awful stench now. It was all he could do not to gag. He put his hand over his mouth to keep himself from making a sound.
The orcs were speaking the Dark Speech but Legolas could hear words similar to those he spoke. He heard them speak of a goblin king, of dragons, of the master.
Could it be that the evil one was stirring again?
He remembered his father’s stories of the Last Alliance of Men and Elves against Sauron and the battle that killed his grandfather and Bell’s husband.
He stayed still until every last orc had passed then he hurriedly made his way home. It would seem that evil had awakened once again.
