Nature

Gandalf looked around, and picked up a dusty journal in the hands of a skeleton.

"...Bahrain, the lord of Moria, died in the valley of Dark Brook..." He read the words slowly, and recognized ink mixed with dried blood on the torn pages. The burned place was blurred, and many pages The pages of the book crashed down.

Anna sighed lightly, she folded her hands on her chest and prayed for Balin and the dead dwarves.

"...we cannot get out..." read Gandalf, "they come...and then it is over."

"'We can't get out,'" murmured Gimli. "We can't get out..."

"We will go out." Aragorn said firmly, "We will."

A sharp pain hit Anna's heart, and she felt her internal organs being stirred together, like a huge hand reaching into her stomach, grabbing her small intestine fiercely.

"vomit……"

There was a sound of retching, and Anna knelt down on the ground, her hands firmly grasping the stone slab, her long silver-white hair slid down her shoulders, dangling in front of her eyes, she only felt dizzy for a while.

Legolas' face turned pale, "Anna!" He yelled loudly, throwing himself in front of Anna, "What's wrong with you!"

Anna's face was pale without a trace of blood. She felt that the pain this time was extraordinarily severe, as if someone had torn her skin and heart apart.

Why now...damn it!

——"Poor human beings... pathetic, shameful, hateful, and despicable."

——"Stupid! Thinking that you have stepped into the world of elves, but you don't know your own nature! A stranger!"

——"You are nothing! Stop delusional!"

Everyone looked at her worriedly, Anna closed her eyes, and let Legolas keep asking her nervously, unable to say a word.

Pippin took a nervous step back, but accidentally tripped over the white bones leaning against the edge of the well, and the bones fell back, first the head, then the whole body.

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—"

The expedition fell silent suddenly, and even Legolas looked up suddenly, glanced at Pippin, and then at Anna.

His hand stroked Anna's forehead gently, carefully wiped off the sweat, and held Anna's hand again.

Anna's body leaned back, revealing her smooth neck.She was panting heavily, as if breathing was very difficult.

Legolas helped Anna lean against Balin's tomb, waiting for Anna to get better.

After an unknown amount of time, Anna finally calmed down a bit. She took a deep breath, and looked at the elf who was silently beside her and holding her hand, her eyes were sore.

"Legolas..."

The blond elf smiled. "I'm here," he said.

The feelings that had been hidden in her heart for a long time suddenly poured out, and big tears fell down. Anna suddenly felt that even if she died tomorrow, she would have no regrets in this life.

Be by her side in her most painful, loneliest, hesitant, and darkest moments, and reach out to her in her most needy, softest, weakest, and smallest moments.

You always show up at the right moment.

Legolas, if the arrow you shot at the spider and the look I gave you were my heart pounding in my chest and the beginning of my love, then today you are by my side when I need it most By my side, I will follow you all my life and never leave you.

People who have never fallen into darkness never know that at the moment when you are about to give in to evil, when a ray of hope breaks through the dense black clouds and shines in front of you, you will never give up the light.

Running towards the gate of love and beauty, no matter the dark clouds over the mountain or the despair, as long as there is a person who will show up and reach out to you unswervingly, you will always follow him.

Only at this moment, forever, forever, never get away from the body.

Ever, Forever.

Anna gradually recovered, and she rested against Balin's tomb with half-closed eyes, and Legolas sat beside her.

Boromir kept turning in circles in the stone room, occasionally sighed, but didn't say anything.

Aragorn sat on the ground wiping his sword, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Frodo was whispering to Gandalf, and Sam was discussing the journey ahead with Gimli.

Pippin stood aside obediently after being scolded by Gandalf, while Merry sat at his feet and supported his head.

"Would you like some plum jam?" He lowered his voice, touched the baggage he was carrying with him, "No one saw it."

"Oh!" sighed Pippin, "well, if I do anything wrong again, Gandalf will kill me."

Merry smiled, and he sneaked his hand into the bundle.

After a while, Pippin caught a whiff of the fragrance.

"Merry! You!" He stared at Merry, watched as Merry took out the bundle with his hand, and licked the sticky ball of jam on his index finger with his tongue.

"It's too much! I want it too!" Pippin didn't care about Gandalf's telling him to be more honest, and rushed on him, wrestling with Merry.

"Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Took! Quiet!" Gandalf took a sharp puff on his cigarette and reprimanded them. "Give me a good rest, and don't hurry and say I'm hungry!"

Pippin and Merry parted. "I'm sorry," they apologized to Gandalf in unison, but then they stared at each other again.

Anna suddenly opened her eyes, "The half-orc is here." She said lightly, trying to stand up.

Legolas held her arm, "But I didn't listen..." Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, "A group of orcs!"

Gandalf stood up abruptly, Aragorn also put himself in a defensive posture, and Boromir rushed out of the door to look around.

Frodo drew his sword sharply. "Nothing has changed," he said doubtfully.

The blade suddenly glowed blue, and Sam jumped back in fright.

"Are we going to run away?" he asked pitifully.

"Be brave, Sam!" Merry and Pippin rushed forward, and standing with Sam, drew their little daggers and waved them in a mockery.

Legolas raised his bow and arrow, and took one last look at Anna, "You should rest first..."

An arrow hit the door, and Boromir retreated back into the stone chamber and closed the door.

Aragorn threw several axes, and Boromir put them on the doorknob one by one.

"Where am I going to rest?" Anna asked back, but then returned Legolas with a smile, "Thank you."

Legolas pursed his lips, and he took a few steps forward, standing in front of Anna.

The goblin quickly broke through the door, and a scuffle broke out between the two sides.

Three longbows slew the vanguard orcs, and soon Ana and Aragorn drew their swords and joined in the melee.

Firing his arrows swiftly, Legolas leaped onto a troll following the chains attached to the troll's hammer, battling speed and skill with brute force.

Aragorn shot and killed a half-orc who was sneaking up on Boromir from behind, and the two abandoned their identities and joined the battle side by side.

Gimli went crazy and slashed and killed the orcs. He was avenging the dead Balin.

Gandalf has a scepter in one hand and a Glamdrin sword in the other hand. Cooperating with Anna's ice and snow and Fieriel, the two Maiyas continue to kill the enemy.

Sam knocked out a few orcs with a frying pan, looked at his results, and smiled with satisfaction: "I think I'm starting to get used to it."

Anna smiled slightly, cut off half of the orc's throat, and lowered her head when she heard the wind behind her.

"Anna!" With a whistling sound, the feathered arrow flew across. Anna turned around and killed the half-orc behind her. Looking back, she found a feathered arrow stuck in the body of another half-orc who was attacking her on the left.

My heart felt cold for a while, what happened to me, my vigilance ability declined, and my abilities in all aspects were declining.

Before she could say thank you, she heard Frodo scream. Anna turned her head subconsciously, and saw a ferocious orc leader stabbed Frodo's right side with a spear.

"Do not--!"

Anna flew, killed the chief, and knelt by Frodo's side.She quickly undressed Frodo, but smiled strangely when she saw the mithril armor on Frodo's body.

Frodo was still in pain and terror, and his young face was twisted together.

"It's all right," whispered Anna, and she patted Frodo on the forehead, and said loudly to the crowd, "He's not dead! Only bruises!"

"Bruises!" cried Aragorn, as he slew an Orc. "That spear could pierce a wild boar!"

"I think the little hobbit is more powerful than we imagined." Gandalf walked slowly.

Everyone quickly escaped from the stone room, and the number of orcs continued to increase, and they had no choice but to escape.

So, in fact, the expedition or something is just an escape.Back then, he was chased by Bolger from the forest and fled to Rivendell, then he was chased by goblins and orcs in the mountains, and he was chased by elves in the dark forest.It's the same now, and the person I'm chasing has become stronger.

Thinking of this, Anna sighed in her heart, she felt that she might really not be able to get out this time.Decreased reaction ability, decreased recognition ability, physical weakness, fatigue, pain, evil and black blood invasion, long-term continuous combat, plus the influence of Legolas on her... She is no longer the former Eya Anna Kai Mengting.

oh!Legolas!

After everyone was surrounded by orcs, they suddenly saw fire at the end of the corridor. The archway was illuminated red by the fire, and the floor under their feet became hot. tree pattern.

The orcs were suddenly startled and backed away. They fled in all directions, and the dense encirclement disappeared at once. Just like when they came, they disappeared.

"What's the matter?" Boromir asked.

"It seems that an evil thing that can scare so many orcs has appeared." Anna said, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you run away!"

The crowd started running fast again. Boromir, who was frightened by Anna, rushed to the front, but recklessly came to the edge of the broken bridge.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Legolas hugged his waist and pulled him back.

"careful!"

Gandalf was at the back, looking panic-stricken. Anna and he looked at each other, and they both saw the terrible nightmare in each other's eyes.

"Go this way!"

The crowd turned to another passage with Aragorn. They quickly descended the passage, but stopped at a break.

Not far away is the Khazad-dum Bridge. After crossing the bridge and passing through a hall, it is the east gate of Moria, but Anna knows that she may never see the beautiful sunshine again.

oh!Beautiful Arnold!farewell!Ana thought sadly, watching Legolas leap and leap over the gap.

"Anna." He stared at Anna with fiery eyes, motioning for Anna to jump over.

Anna's nose was sore, she closed her eyes and jumped vigorously, and she fell into a warm embrace.

Opening her eyes, the two elves were so close that their noses were only a few grains apart, so close that Anna could see the tenderness in Legolas' eyes, so close that Anna could smell Legolas The fresh air exhaled was so close that Ana could see the fine down on Legolas' face.

He hugged her and stared at her intently, Anna felt her heart was about to melt.

She sidled away from Legolas' arms and watched as Legolas steadied Gandalf before helping Boromir and the two hobbits.

The booming drums echoed under their feet, and everyone rushed up the Kazadum Bridge, the narrow bridge only allowed one person to pass.

They came out in single file, Gimli at the head, Legolas in the middle, and Aragorn behind him guarding Frodo.

Ana glanced at the formation and walked behind Gandalf.

"You are mad! Cross the bridge!" growled Gandalf in a low voice.

Anna smiled slightly. She and Gandalf stood in front of the bridge with their backs facing each other. They looked at the Balrog slowly emerging from the flames, shoulder to shoulder.

"I'm with you," she said. "It's not my responsibility, and it's not your responsibility. It's our responsibility together."

Gandalf looked no longer so serious.The two of them fell back together, and Anna insisted that Gandalf go after her and cross the bridge first.

"I will reduce its power with ice and snow, and you will give it the final blow." After Anna finished speaking, she pushed Gandalf behind without saying a word.

She stood firmly in front of the Balrog, the roar of the Balrog raised her long hair, the black cloak fell off at some point, and the snow-like crystal dress reappeared, protecting her from the flames.

Gandalf pulled out Glamdrin and stepped back slowly.

Legolas glanced back and anxiously wanted to go to help, but Aragorn blocked his way.

"Don't go there." He looked serious.

Legolas cursed secretly, his eyebrows knit together.

"Let me pass!" he yelled at Aragorn.

Boromir was ahead of Legolas, and he saw Aragorn nod to him, and firmly took Legolas' arm and dragged him across the bridge.

"At least wait until we're over the bridge before helping!"

"Come on!" Anna closed her eyes and rushed to the destined battlefield.She took a small step forward and stopped looking into the Balrog's eyes.

"Anna—!"

——"I only had one thought at the time, and that was to protect the people I love behind me."

She slowly raised her hands, and an invisible force rose from her body. She felt the water molecules trembling with the flames in the turbid air of Moria, and gradually condensed them around her body.

Her thoughts drifted to a long, long time ago, in the vast and boundless sea.

——"Eya Anna Kai Mengting..."

"——I am the servant of the secret fire, controlling the fire of Anor! You are not allowed to pass!"

The air was shaking and the earth was roaring, but Anna could still hear the rustling of the leaves in the breeze and the gurgling of the water in the riverbed.

The flames were flickering, Anna slowly opened her eyes, and her whole body exuded a dazzling silver-white light.

"Go to hell!" she shouted loudly, her dark blue eyes stabbed at the Balrog with flashing light, her dress fluttered, and the wind rolled the blizzard and rolled towards the Balrog. A ball of light rushed out from behind Anna, brushed past Anna's head and rushed towards the Balrog.

In the duel between ice and fire, Anna watched the flame-like sharp blade swung at her by the Balrog slashing at her, but it was too late to pull out Fieriel, so Anna bit the bullet and endured the attack.

Blue light emanated from the body, and a voice continued to speak softly.

——"Anna..."

Who is it?

The slabs broke beneath her feet, and she could hear wizards yelling spells behind her.

——"Anna..."

Who is it?

"Anna—!"

Legolas!

Anna snapped her eyes open.

In the flames was a black human figure, shrouded in shadows, and a pair of nightmare eyes shot straight into Anna's heart.

The heart is cold and the heart is cold.

It is the trace of the flame whip.

"No—! Anna—!"

No, not this voice.

The dark blue eyes lost their former brilliance, and the pupils that once vowed to become an elf became immortal.

——"Anna..."

Fragmented frost wrapped the flames in the sky, and the tongue of fire licked the ice.

--"Gift……"

The Balrog wailed and fell, his long whip fluttering, beating the broken bridge.

——"Miss Gift..."

wind.

Dress fluttering.

——"Go to sleep..."

The golden ring flashed in front of her eyes, and the inlaid gems flashed in front of her eyes.

Evil eye.

- "No pain..."

The gray figure fell down.

"—Gandalf!"

Useless.

His long silver hair was blown away by the wind.

whereabouts.

keep falling.

Eyes slowly closed.

Fire, frost, darkness, sleep.

——"You are not worthy of the name of nature."

Still falling.

——"Miss Gift..."

Sauron.

Shadows enveloped her body, and those eyes that were once burning with passion and persistence were tightly closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep and would never wake up again.

- "Anna -!"

The author has something to say: In this chapter, there is really nothing to say, 5002 words, crossing the 5000 mark.

Originally, it was 2500+ per chapter, around 3000. Later, after the overhaul, it started to be 3000+ per chapter, often breaking through 4000, and now it is 5002.

Mainly because I was too excited to write it later.Began to break sentences and branch lines crazily.

Finally!Finally!Finally wrote this paragraph!Not far from the end hahaha!

Then calm down and talk little by little.

This chapter took the author a lot of effort, and I don’t bother to catch any typos. Dear friends, please forgive me for the sake of the number of words.

The first is the plot, which should be modified reasonably according to one's own needs.

Second, Legolas takes Anna's hand.In fact, the author often suffers from severe stomach pains when relatives come, especially at night, when my parents are asleep and no one comes to help me.I had no choice but to cover it desperately with a hot water bottle.At that time, I was thinking that if someone came to help me at this time, no matter if it was male or female, good or evil, I would follow him for the rest of my life.Of course it's a bit exaggerated, but the psychology is true.Anna was in excruciating pain at this time, and it was difficult to even breathe.By doing this, Legolas completely filled the blood tank of Anna, who was originally an idiot, and never left him for the rest of his life.

Plum jam.This is mainly to describe Pippin and Merry from the side. I always feel that I describe too little supporting characters and focus on the protagonist.However, this also shows that Anna's sensitivity is not as good as before.They didn't even notice it when they stole it!Although he was asleep, it was too bad.

Ana's frailty has several causes.The first is because she magnified her moves in Karazras (deservedly), and then continued to fight to consume her energy and didn't eat (although she ate later, it didn't help much).The second reason is that the poison Sauron planted on her (see Chapter 13 for revision) is constantly harassing her. The effect of poisoning has also been explained above, which is to control the mind, but Anna is against it, using pain to weaken perseverance.And as Sauron's power became stronger and stronger, the poison became stronger and stronger.So it's not that Anna is weak.She has fought against this poison for more than a hundred years.The third is because Vera asked her to kill the Balrog, which she thought was impossible for the girl.And, have you noticed the part of her memory, "You are not worthy of the name of nature." In the previous article, she had a deep love for Legolas, and this sentence popped up immediately in the following article, which shows that Anna's heart has been touched. The deep hurt is indelible.Anna is actually quite inferior.Especially this kind of person who used to be very insignificant and then became the master. Of course, he is not talking about Anna, but Anna is indeed very sensitive to this aspect.You see, when Thorin and Groin indirectly despised her identity, she exploded in one fell swoop.

It is still very hard for the author to write a novel. It takes one night to write such a chapter, from 06:30 to [-]:[-], and watch a movie while flipping through the book. As a result, when I revisited it, I saw the scene where the great director arranged for Ye Zi to pick up his teammates from the broken bridge. I have to say that although the love triangle for Ye Zi in The Hobbit is very dissatisfied, it also shows that the role of Ye Zi is very important in the movie, unlike the original book.I fell in love instantly at that time, so there was so much sweetness suddenly in this chapter that should have been very tragic.Of course, this also adds to the tragic color behind.Sweet first and then cruel, most unhappy!

Of course, Anna will definitely be resurrected, huh, huh, just read my content preview.Like rebirth from the ashes, how can the undead be reborn.

Finally, let’s talk about the montage (?) at the end. I think this will better and more strongly portray the characters. This is actually a technique I am very good at.

——"Z" stands for the words in the memory, and the ellipsis after the Z is similar to the feeling of intermittent or broken chapters.

"——Z" stands for talking in reality, and the dash in front stands for shortness of voice.

"Z——!" represents the words in reality, with a strong tone, like a shout.

The last 【——"Anna——!"] is actually a memory, recalling the words that Legolas called Anna earlier.

Legolas' three calls corresponded to Anna's three times of running away, passing by, and leaving without saying goodbye.

In the end, it was still the mystery of Anna's name. Earanna, gift from the sea, anna, gift.The voice calling in Anna's heart could be many people, such as Eyavin, Ulmo the Lord of the Sea, Varda, Lady Galadriel, Kaimentari, and Legolas, but none of them.It's Sauron.In Chapter 13, Sauron calls Anna Gift, Miss Gift.Anna is actually Earanna's nickname, but Zoro obviously wouldn't call Anna that. He meant that Anna was a good gift, so he called Anna a gift.Anna would have been a gift too.The main god of the world before she crossed gave Vera and this world a gift (Maybe, the author is not clear, some aspects of the author's settings are very vague, intentional puns, it all depends on everyone's understanding).
