Now long forgotten, only written down in texts that is stored in the library of Tham Mírdain in Eregion, perhaps lost to those who are still alive, a story to be told Lanthonvir thought where he sat, still outside his tent thing as he took his quill again and found a new page in his journalThis is a story, told and written down by Lanthonvir himself
The skies were suddenly ripped apart by lightning, then the rain started to pour down, making a very loud noise as it hit the metal of the armour worn by the elves, the lightning proved a lightsource for a few moments before the darkness came again. Long had the elves of Eregion prepared for this, the war against the gift giver, more known as Annatar or Sauron. Since Celembrimbor finished the three rings of power, he began to fight Sauron, and now this fight had come to war. The war broke out as the Noldor smiths in Eregion under Celembrimbor found out that Sauron forged the One Ring.
Now Saurons vanguard had been halted by Celeborn, but he had to withdraw his forces and now the final battle were to take place, the last stand of Celembrimbor and his forces in which Lanthonvir could be found. This last stand were to take place outside Ost-en-Edhil.
"BOWS AND ARROWS AT THE READY!" Celembrimbors voice echoed in the dark along with the roar of the thunder as a lightning bolt teard the sky with a cracking noise. Lanthonvir, who stood in the front lines with his large shield raised to form a wall of golden shields, on his right, Medlissel stood, her body shiviring slightly from the cold rain nad from her being nervous, Lanthonvir glanced to her, gave her a soft nod and let his left hand wander over her right which held her shield "I'll be here.." he said quietly to her and she nodded in return. A new crack in the sky by another lightningbolt, from which light they could see the massive forces of orcs that now came screaming with their swords drawn "RELEASE THE ARROWS! SHEILDWALL!PREPARE!" there the voice of Celembrimbor echoed again and the raspy noie of thousands and thousands of bowstrigns being released at the same time, the noise of flying arrows and then the screams from the orcs as the arrows found their target filled the air along with the roar of the thunder.
Then clashing nosies as the orcs reached the frontlines of the elves and hit the shieldwall, there fierce battles started to take place, orcs outnumbering the elven soldiers who fought with great skill which were equal to the large numbers of orcs, Lanthonvir and Medlissel got seperated as the line broke and the orcs now broke through on more places, their wild scream and wild fightingstyle caught many heads and bodies of the elves as the ground became littered with bodies from both sides and staind with the red blood of the elves and the black blood of the orcs.
Lanthonvir fought hard, trying to reach Medlissel as he finally saw her and a few others surrounded by orcs but still standing, fighting bravely and made his way to them, as he reached them,Medlissel took a blade to her side and collapsed on the ground, now filled with more rage and hate towards the orcs Lanthonvir threw his shield away and drew his long two handed sword his father had asked to be forged for his son, cleaving orcs in halfs, seperating heads from shoulders as he fought his way to Medlissel where she lied. she was of course seriously wounded and were already drifiting in and out as Lanthonvir took her into his arms and began to make his way to the rear lines, where the healers were, leaving her there he returned to the fight, after being reasured by a healer that she would make it thanks to him.
Long were the battle fought before a horn were sounded, the retreat signal had been blown, no one did know why, the chaos were taking over the battlefield as words came about Celembrimbor being captured by the doors and dragged off in chains. Lanthonvir made his way back to the healer and nodded as Medlissel were asleep when he lifted her up and carried her on his shoulder as he along with many others ran, the large host of orcs pursuing them for a time before they came to a vale, the vale became Imladris or as its known, Rivendell.
For a time they had respite before the orc host lay siege to Imladris. Medlissel recoverd fully from the wound, Lanthonvir collapsed not long after they came there, by exhaustion from running and the hard battle, it took him days to recover again and as he did he found his father and mother both alive and well along with Medlissel. After a time Medlissel and Lanthonvir got married in Imladris, a small ceremoney, held by lord Elrond and Lanthonvirs father and mother as witnesses to the marriage. For now Medlissel and Lanthonvir could breath out but, they would be thrown back into battle but that is a different story.
Here follows thoughts written by Medlissel while Lanthonvir recoverd from his exhustion
"He found me, he carried me on his shoulder while fighting off pursuing orcs..I could never wish for a better companion than Lanthonvir..he knows this and everytime he looks at me or says something to me I can not help but smile..He is my everything, yet our marriage have been postponed by this war..I hope it will stand soon for I can not wait..I carry a secret..he does not know of it, I dont think he has noticed anything either..I am expecting our child..I know my mother told me that no childs are born while we are at war so this is something special..I need to tall Lan about it..My Lan..my strong and beautiful Lan.."
As you probably know, expecting a child in wartime was not something the elves did, usually they settled down and formed families in peace time so why Medlissel were expecting their child were something special. Not long after this Lanthonvir woke up and here follows a few thoughts of the battle from his eyes
"The horn sounded to call our retreat..Celembrimbor is nowhere to be found, words say that he's been captured and brought to Sauron..I fought as brave and well as I could..seeing my Medlissel being struck to the ground lit a flame in my chest and I mus have fought above what is possible for me...I am still not a veteran warrior..I carried her as we took to retreat..I collapsed from exhaustion not long ago..Yesterday she came to me and sat by my side for a long time before she climbed up into my bed and placed herself by myside and nuzzled tight and close to me as she whispered something about me becoming a father..I am over my heart in happyness about this..yet I fear to let her fight now..I need to tell her not to..for us and our child, we need to sort our marriage ceremoney as well..I will see lord Elrond about it.."
The first major battle Lanthonvir fought was the last stand of Celembrimbor, Sauron came to overrun Eregion and Eriador, cutting off Lindon and Imladris from each other and the war lasted for many years to come.
