   Summary

   Legolas catches his arrow just before it leaves his bow to recognize what is happening on the top of the spire before them. For the first time in his life, the graceful, unyielding elf warrior hesitates. He plays it off at the time but that doesn't stop a nagging in his chest as his companions turn away, leaving Grima to his own grief upon his request, not quite ready to face any one of his people just yet.
