Chapter 9 - The price of War
----------------------------------------------------------------
Harry flopped unceremoniously onto the ground as the last of his strength gave way, his sword clattered to the ground by his side as he did so.
Around him, he could see others in similar positions and others unable to do so for terrible reasons.
He was currently fighting in a remote region of Gondor named Pinath Gelin, another battle was over, and he had no energy left.
Thinking back Harry's face grew grim as he thought of the countless numbers which had fallen by his blade or magic alone, added to this was the total of his troops, and you had a number nearing a million.
He had revisited his City once over the course of the last fifty years, and that visit had been close to twenty years ago now. He missed it, he knew this in his heart, even if it was incomplete he needed to return there, he could however never do this the way he wished with the War covering all free lands in Middle Earth, he had to wait till victory had been achieved, if it ever was...
The War had also taken a heavy toll on the Night Elves, there were close to one hundred and fifty thousand who had fought in the war thus far, however only fifty thousand of those still remained, it was a sad loss but he refused to surrender.
Over the course of these years his City had finally had its powerful walls completed and more work was now being undertaken inside, buildings such as a Citadel carved into the mountain, and other defences such as Building more walls inside the outer shell had begun.
Harry was now a well established figure throughout Middle Earth, his name carried fear among the enemy like Sauron's did among his own troops, however his were better trained and would not flee even if they were forced to battle him themselves.
Bellatrix also had become feared, less so than Harry but it was still known that her powers equalled those of Sauron's greatest lieutenant; The Witch Nazgul.
And then there were his soldiers, how much they deserved peace, but still they were not granted it. Fearless and powerful in the attack the Night Elves had already become the best warriors throughout middle Earth, lesser in number, but much bigger in aggression and natural skill.
To his immense fortune he had only reserved minor injuries thus far in the war, however aside from the first battle of Rhun he had never faced an enemy stronger than a troll or a particularly fearsome Giant or two.
Picking himself up he dusted himself off his robes which partially covered his mainly black armour. He gingerly picked up his sword and fastened it diagonally into a sheath which lay on his back; he then picked up his bow and limped off to the nearest mass of troops. As he did so, he had to negotiate his way over countless dead bodies which littered the field. In a way it brought him pleasure to know that the more he killed the safer his people would be, this is what kept him from pitying those that he fought, he despised them for that time many years ago when they had killed all those innocents so close to his Central City. He finally reached his destination.
"Anthon, how are you?" he asked as he let himself fall to the ground once more. Anthon gave a grim smile.
"As good as can be expected My Lord, however I am happy that I broke my previous kill record today" he replied with a small smile. Harry rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"How many then?" he asked. Anthon gave a boyish grin.
"Ninety five my Lord, beat my old record by four!" he exclaimed proudly. A clapping noise broke their conversation.
"Very well done my Love, however I see you are still incapable of beating me, it is to be expected for I am a member of the superior breed of women" Eltima interrupted with a smile.
That was another thing. Over the course of the War Eltima and Anthon, two of his inner circle, had fallen in Love.
Harry often wondered if the whole thing was a joke because all they did was constantly try to best each other, he was told however that they did it for an excuse for great sex afterwards; to this Harry just gave him the thumbs up and made a quick get away.
"And what did you tally dearest Wife of mine" Harry often wondered where they learnt to speak so unlike traditional elves, oh they could do if they wanted, however this type of conversation was so much more easy.
"Ninety nine my love, unbeaten as per usual" she boasted while giving a would-be-impressive pose that extenuated her lean figure.
If Harry didn't love Bella so much he'd be all over Eltima, come to think of it, most red blooded males across the entire land would be also. Giving a cough he interrupted what he liked to phrase a lovers spat.
"If you two can get your heads out of the clouds for just one moment then perhaps we could get moving, we have a long distance to travel and I for one am anxious to start before Night Falls" Eltima just shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if I beat you again Harry, I still love you!" Harry gave her a sneer, a trick which he had picked up from Bellatrix.
"If you must know my total ran up to five hundred and twenty six, now if you're done can we get moving?" he asked.
They opened their mouths but no sound came out, shrugging he turned and signalled for a commander to come forward from his resting position nearby.
"Status report Commander" he ordered.
The war had changed him slightly, he was more demanding and less compassionate than he used to be, he was a little less Gryffindor and more Slytherin, and this was an advantage in all ways, from his now infrequent sex with Bella to his battle tactics and techniques.
"The enemy has been defeated my Lord, a few still remain but are being hunted as we speak, they will not get far. Our personal losses total ten thousand while those of men are approximately fifty thousand, this however has been redeemed slightly for we have slain over two hundred thousand Orcs and men, a great victory to be sure" the elf stated quickly and smoothly.
"Thank you commander, bury the dead and mark their names upon the site, when help arrives they will insure they are honoured properly for we have little time to do so, after that prepare to leave for the City, tell those of Gondor and Arnor that they are most welcome to return home with us, we're going home commander" he smiled as he said this.
The commander nodded his head sharply and then ran off, injury an fatigue apparently cured, to do his Lords bidding.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Several months later a sight which held so much pleasure came before his eyes.
Before him was his wife, she was dressed in a simple black dress, which made a change from her usual battle gear, she was beautiful.
She stood in front of a huge set of doors which shined as they reflected the Sun's light. He looked on in wonder as he saw the complete outer layer of his City for the first time in his life, it was amazing, powerful and beautiful all in one, and he couldn't imagine it being any greater than it was.
Behind him the survivors mimicked his wonder, for them it was the first time they had seen the walls completed, let alone the great metal gate.
Smiling Harry broke away from the main army and sped his faithful horse into a full gallop towards Bella; he drew near fast and soon found himself where he belonged, in her arms. Lifting her up he spun her around oblivious to her squeals of delight and the happy onlookers from the walls, all that mattered in that moment was that they were together again, after all they hadn't seen each other for ten years.
"My God Bella It's good to see you!" he exclaimed as he seized her lips in a passionate kiss, she lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck, squealing once more she jumped up and wrapped her slender legs around his waist, still oblivious to the fact that they were being watched.
As she performed this jump and latched herself to him, her dress rode up quite high, revealing most of her smooth thigh, placing his warm hand on it he gently rubbed, this caused her to moan in to his ear.
"I've missed you so much Harry" she muttered as she placed kisses on his face.
"So have I my love, I was worried for you" he admitted truthfully.
"Thank you beloved, however I think we should save this for later, we are currently being watched by thousands of people, and, while I may not care about public displays of affection, I think there may be a few children up there" she said with a grin as she detached herself from his midsection. Looking up Harry laughed at all the smiling faces way above him, atop the wall.
"Why didn't you tell me before I made a pillock out of myself?" he asked with a smile. Bella just smirked.
"And miss out on that excellent make out session, I think not" she scoffed.
"Point taken my love" he agreed as he placed a gently kiss on her nose and then drew back.
Bella's gaze fell to their right where once Harry turned he could see his troops entering the city to celebration and love; he was glad that the attention of those above had now been taken with the returning Heroes.
"We should make our way back into the City, it has become dangerous for anyone but me to be out of the protection of the walls, and even I have to be careful when I do so" she suggested still very close to Harry.
He nodded his head in agreement and the couple proceeded towards the city, arms linked and smiles on their faces.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Even though he had changed so dramatically from when he was back on Earth, there were still many things about Harry which remained true, one of these was his shyness in front of large numbers, it was fine in a battle situation as his mind seemed to shut down and be replaced by words from his heart.
However at this present moment there were no bloodthirsty enemies to slay, and therefore this had brought on nerves.
At this present moment he stood in front of a huge crowd, well over two hundred thousand Elves stood before him waiting for him to begin. There was a similar expression on all of their faces; sorrow.
The reason for this sorrow was soon to be apparent.
Plucking up his courage and remembering to just let the words come from his heart, he stepped up onto a huge podium ahead of the massed crowds.
Silence flooded the area in seconds. Harry made an audible gulp which he was sure could be heard from the other side of the crowd; drawing breath he started his speech.
"Over the past fifty years the forces of Mordor have fought against our people, many have died and that is the reason why we are gathered here today; to honour those who risked their very existence by fighting for their country and what they believed in, for that we honour them." He paused for a second to give the crowd time to think over his words before he started up once more. "Their deaths however were not in vain because, for every elf that fell in battle he or she took with them ten of the enemy, therefore insuring that those enemies could never again live to kill another. Over the past years I have seen many incredible feat's of bravery displayed by soldiers who I admit I didn't know the names of, these are the Elves which define us from all others, who would rather face death than leave their loved ones to be butchered, this is who we are my family, and today we remember that" casting a glance to the side Harry lowered himself to one knee and bowed his head in the direction of the monument which had been crafted in remembrance of those with their name engraved upon it.
Not a word was said for over a minute, until arrows leapt into the air, more specifically flaming arrows, set the sky ablaze with a red glow. They landed perfectly on target and soon began to burn the ring of straw which surrounded the monument.
Harry watched on, and as he did so a tear fell from his eye, he vowed to himself then and there that he would do anything in his power to make sure as many of his people as possible survived the War.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It was much later and Harry, along with Bella, Darius, who was now in his inner circle, Eltima and Anthon were sting around a large elaborate table in the middle of a hall even greater in size than the one they had entered into back in Arnor many years ago.
As well as those, there were also five other figures there with him, each one displaying enough importance and power to have a say in any debate.
The five present represented different factions throughout middle Earth, there purpose was to show to Harry a plan which they had drawn together over the course of the War.
"Sauron will need at least another several years at the moment to rebuild his forces to their previous strength, we have damaged him badly and he is tightly drawn to challenge us at this present time. However he still retains a large force within the dark Land at all times so it will not all be easy. What Lord Elrond and I propose is that we amass our full strength and advance upon the Dark Tower, it is now that we have a chance to take the victory, we cannot hold out much longer, the enemy can easily rebuild his forces where we are not so lucky, it must be now while we still have the strength to defeat him that we must make our stand, I can feel that this will be his end" said Gil-Galad.
Harry's eyebrows rose considerably at this bold new tactic, this was so unlike the High Elves that it almost seemed bazaar that they would suggest such a thing, he decided to remain silent and see what the other people's view was on the matter.
"And who do you propose leads this attack, for my forces will not be following any other but myself into such a battle?" asked an elf he was only barely acquainted with, his name was Thanduil and he was King of the elves in the greenwood, wood elves they were called and his people had taken well to them whenever they had visited.
"The army would be under my Command, however If you feel that this is unreasonable you may express you views, that is what this council is for" offered Gil-Galad.
Harry regarded the much older elf with curiosity, curiosity as to how he even hoped to gain his allegiance in this battle by asking for his Night Elves to fight under his command, the very idea was absurd of course as he knew that they would only fight if he directly told them to or for their loved ones and homes, it was unlikely they would follow Gil-Galad anywhere as Night Elves were naturally more cautious than other elven races, a trait which could be both a hindrance and a help.
"And what of Lord Tinehtelë, as the most powerful on our side should it not be him who leads the fight, it is said that he has powers which rival those of the Dark Lord, if this is true then it would be a logical choice" Thanduil pressed further.
Harry silently agreed although he was slightly annoyed that the Kingly elf hadn't even acknowledged his presence even in his own halls. It was then that he decided to put in his piece.
"Although I usually refrain from boastful behaviour I will have to make an exception on this part, I agree that an attack must take place, however I do not think that you should lead, there is no offence intended to your skills and bravery High King Gil-Galad, however my troops will be reluctant to follow one such as yourself who they don't know too well" Harry said to the table. Nodding his head Gil-Galad leant back in his chair.
"A fair comment, and yes I know that you are a far greater warrior than I will ever dream of being, however I still feel that I have more experience in the field of War tactics than any other" he reasoned.
Harry nodded, almost mimicking Gil-Galad's previous movement exactly.
"My forces are behind you King Gil-Galad, Gondor and Arnor understand the importance of this attack and will help in any way possible" stated Elendil from the side.
So far he had remained silent so it was a slight surprise when he did indeed speak for the first time.
"My thanks Elendil your help's much needed and appreciated" Turning back to the other people the aged King spoke once more "I understand your reluctance to commit at this stage, however I can assure you that this will not under any circumstances be half attempted, I either have full support or it doesn't take place at all"
"How about a compromise then, it is evident that I and King Thanduil are reluctant to give up our forces, I propose that while the main attack takes place we both lead another assault from one of their sides, this will solve both problems and spread out their defences much more"
"I'm agreeable to that if it is the will of the council, however we will have to insure that timing is right if we are to attack together" said Elrond. Harry nodded and drew aside a piece of parchment to do calculations on.
"It is six days to the black gate from our current position, if the main force made an obvious approach towards it Sauron will meet you around the plains before that, so, if that is correct then it could be possible to launch a second assault from say Nindalf, an area near the river Anduin and North of Osgilliath, we could transport troops from the great wood using the river to ensure speed and stealth, my forces can meet them there and we can attack from there, that is, if we in agreement" Harry suggested not bothering to lift his head from his writing as he did so.
"I am inclined to agree with Lord Tinehtelë, my forces will march with his and launch another assault at the same time as your own, now all we have to do is talk numbers" said Thanduil looking around expectantly.
Elendil nodded and spoke. "If this is to be our last stand then our full strength has to be utilised, I can offer six hundred thousand men in various forms, to the attack" he stated.
Harry suddenly grew protective over what remained of his forces, his troops were much less than that, and however he would rather fight with them than any other army in the world.
"I have received word from Galadriel of Lorien that they can spare one hundred thousand Elves for the attack, my forces will put their full strength forward, some five hundred thousand elves" stated Gil-Galad solemnly.
Harry nodded, still slightly in shock over the numbers they were willing to put forth into the attack, even if he ran his city dry and forced every able and unable man and woman to fight, he would still be hundreds of thousands behind those figures, and this was of course out of the question.
"My forces have been significantly reduced over the course of the war; at full strength we can offer seventy five thousand Elves, however I am sure you all know how effective they are in battle" Harry offered.
There were several nods of the head as they recognised that even with such a small number the Night Elves would be a vital part of the attack.
"And my forces can be launched at three hundred thousand Elves" added Thanduil.
Harry made a very quick calculation in his head.
"So one million two hundred thousand are to march directly on the black gate, while another three hundred and seventy five thousand will attack from Nindalf, is that agreeable to all present?" Harry asked. Receiving nods from around the table he sat back in his chair. "So what else do we need to do?"
The meeting continued.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Harry and Bella sat together on a stone bench, staring out into the clear Night sky, they tried to ignore the flaming inferno of evil which could just be seen over the top of the mountains to his west, they were content in each others presence.
"I'll be with you, you know Harry, all the way" Bella broke the silence. Harry gave a small smile.
"I wouldn't expect anything else my love" he said.
"Are you worried?" she asked softly, placing a hand on his leg and giving it a small rub.
"No, not really, I know I should be, but this is a chance to end the death, I can't go into that chance half assed, I need to be decisive" he replied glancing over at his wife momentarily" he gave a pause, in which time the wind continued to whip aside his hair gently." I am worried for you however, I love you too much to lose you now" he whispered. Bella gave a sad smile and stood up.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself love" she assured him.
Seconds later she straddled his lap and began to nibble at his neck gently. He groaned in wanting.
"It's been too long my Love" she stated.
"Indeed it has my Bella, indeed it has" he agreed, and with that he once gain caught Bella's lips in a frenzied kiss.
Moving his hands down he stood up and held her by the ass as she once again straddled his waist, this time however it was to go a lot further than before.
Moving inside he walked over to the large bed and dropped her on to it. Immediately he began to strip off, and in under a minute he was naked in front of her.
Still dressed Bella moved forward on her knees and took him full into her mouth. Harry closed his eyes at the sensation and placed his hands on her head, letting his fingers run through her silky hair. Bella eased his member in and out of her mouth, slowly applying suction where necessary; it didn't take long for him to come in her mouth.
Swallowing Bella moved back so that she was leaning against the headboard of the bed, once there she spread her legs to reveal her nether regions.
Harry gazed at her in wonder; the black dress obscuring part of his view only made it more the more arousing.
Moving forward onto the bed he roughly grabbed hold of her legs and slid her forward. Not wasting any time he plunged deep into her, throwing his head back a second later due to the feelings which were now being evoked.
Giving a growl Bella flipped over and began to ride him roughly, the dress obscured his vision of the act, and this only made it all the more arousing.
Looking up Harry's breath hitched as he watched Bella's skin sweat slightly, adding a glistening wonder to its already wondrous look. She looked down also, wishing to lock eyes as they expressed their love in the ultimate form.
Their eyes finally locked once more, and in that moment both of them felt completely open to the other, it was like their very thought could be heard by the other, such was the level of their intimacy.
Letting loose their connection Bella withdrew from him and turned around, flipping up the bottom of her flowing dress she exposed her perfect ass too him. Looking back she smirked at his shocked expression.
"Take it Harry" she ordered. Harry only nodded and placed both hands on her cheeks, seconds later she could feel him rubbing hi member against her small hole, she failed to bite back her frustration.
"Just stick it in Harry, what are you waiting for?" she snapped angrily, tenderness forgotten in her desire for new sexual positions.
Taking her words as law Harry plunged into her, she screamed in pain and pleasure and it was more of the later as he started to pump into her faster and faster until he finally exploded at the same time as her, their juices flowing together.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Harry lay by Bella's side in bed over an hour later, he was tired now, between the journey and the amazing sex he had just experienced he was completely done for the day.
Bella slipped in under his arm and proceeded to lay one of her legs across his body while snuggling into his bare chest, Harry nearly groaned at the sensation that this position caused.
"I have an idea which may help us in the battle Harry" she said after placing a kiss on his chest. Harry turned his head to look at her.
"What is it Bella?" he asked curiously.
"The dwarves, send word to them, they will surely come to our aid" she suggested while wrapping her small feet around his ankles. Harry smiled at the idea.
"I don't know why I never thought of the idea before love, they could offer us many more capable soldiers to use, I'll send word to the different clans in the morning, until then we must sleep, for tomorrow we have much to do" he replied while gazing down at her.
Pouting she gave him small slap on the chest "we're not done yet, you still have to compensate for ten years of sexual frustration, I need more" she declared with a sly smile.
Harry nearly chocked at this, she wanted more, and how could he even get up in his condition?
"Bella, I'm a bit tired right now, perhaps in the morning or something" he suggested, looking for a good excuse to get out of the sex, not that it wasn't amazing, more due to the fact that at the moment the battle and preparation was currently ore important, and if he didn't get any rest then they stood more chance of being unprepared when the time came.
"Nonsense you, just lay back and I'll do the work" and with that she once again straddled his hips and almost immediately began to ride atop him.
What have I got myself into now was Harry's last coherent thought before the pleasure once more began to take hold of him.

However at this present moment there were no bloodthirsty enemies to slay, and therefore this had brought on nerves.
At this present moment he stood in front of a huge crowd, well over two hundred thousand Elves stood before him waiting for him to begin. There was a similar expression on all of their faces; sorrow.
The reason for this sorrow was soon to be apparent.
Plucking up his courage and remembering to just let the words come from his heart, he stepped up onto a huge podium ahead of the massed crowds.
Silence flooded the area in seconds. Harry made an audible gulp which he was sure could be heard from the other side of the crowd; drawing breath he started his speech.
"Over the past fifty years the forces of Mordor have fought against our people, many have died and that is the reason why we are gathered here today; to honour those who risked their very existence by fighting for their country and what they believed in, for that we honour them." He paused for a second to give the crowd time to think over his words before he started up once more. "Their deaths however were not in vain because, for every elf that fell in battle he or she took with them ten of the enemy, therefore insuring that those enemies could never again live to kill another. Over the past years I have seen many incredible feat's of bravery displayed by soldiers who I admit I didn't know the names of, these are the Elves which define us from all others, who would rather face death than leave their loved ones to be butchered, this is who we are my family, and today we remember that" casting a glance to the side Harry lowered himself to one knee and bowed his head in the direction of the monument which had been crafted in remembrance of those with their name engraved upon it.
Not a word was said for over a minute, until arrows leapt into the air, more specifically flaming arrows, set the sky ablaze with a red glow. They landed perfectly on target and soon began to burn the ring of straw which surrounded the monument.
Harry watched on, and as he did so a tear fell from his eye, he vowed to himself then and there that he would do anything in his power to make sure as many of his people as possible survived the War.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It was much later and Harry, along with Bella, Darius, who was now in his inner circle, Eltima and Anthon were sting around a large elaborate table in the middle of a hall even greater in size than the one they had entered into back in Arnor many years ago.
As well as those, there were also five other figures there with him, each one displaying enough importance and power to have a say in any debate.
The five present represented different factions throughout middle Earth, there purpose was to show to Harry a plan which they had drawn together over the course of the War.
"Sauron will need at least another several years at the moment to rebuild his forces to their previous strength, we have damaged him badly and he is tightly drawn to challenge us at this present time. However he still retains a large force within the dark Land at all times so it will not all be easy. What Lord Elrond and I propose is that we amass our full strength and advance upon the Dark Tower, it is now that we have a chance to take the victory, we cannot hold out much longer, the enemy can easily rebuild his forces where we are not so lucky, it must be now while we still have the strength to defeat him that we must make our stand, I can feel that this will be his end" said Gil-Galad.
Harry's eyebrows rose considerably at this bold new tactic, this was so unlike the High Elves that it almost seemed bazaar that they would suggest such a thing, he decided to remain silent and see what the other people's view was on the matter.
"And who do you propose leads this attack, for my forces will not be following any other but myself into such a battle?" asked an elf he was only barely acquainted with, his name was Thanduil and he was King of the elves in the greenwood, wood elves they were called and his people had taken well to them whenever they had visited.
"The army would be under my Command, however If you feel that this is unreasonable you may express you views, that is what this council is for" offered Gil-Galad.
Harry regarded the much older elf with curiosity, curiosity as to how he even hoped to gain his allegiance in this battle by asking for his Night Elves to fight under his command, the very idea was absurd of course as he knew that they would only fight if he directly told them to or for their loved ones and homes, it was unlikely they would follow Gil-Galad anywhere as Night Elves were naturally more cautious than other elven races, a trait which could be both a hindrance and a help.
"And what of Lord Tinehtelë, as the most powerful on our side should it not be him who leads the fight, it is said that he has powers which rival those of the Dark Lord, if this is true then it would be a logical choice" Thanduil pressed further.
Harry silently agreed although he was slightly annoyed that the Kingly elf hadn't even acknowledged his presence even in his own halls. It was then that he decided to put in his piece.
"Although I usually refrain from boastful behaviour I will have to make an exception on this part, I agree that an attack must take place, however I do not think that you should lead, there is no offence intended to your skills and bravery High King Gil-Galad, however my troops will be reluctant to follow one such as yourself who they don't know too well" Harry said to the table. Nodding his head Gil-Galad leant back in his chair.
"A fair comment, and yes I know that you are a far greater warrior than I will ever dream of being, however I still feel that I have more experience in the field of War tactics than any other" he reasoned.
Harry nodded, almost mimicking Gil-Galad's previous movement exactly.
"My forces are behind you King Gil-Galad, Gondor and Arnor understand the importance of this attack and will help in any way possible" stated Elendil from the side.
So far he had remained silent so it was a slight surprise when he did indeed speak for the first time.
"My thanks Elendil your help's much needed and appreciated" Turning back to the other people the aged King spoke once more "I understand your reluctance to commit at this stage, however I can assure you that this will not under any circumstances be half attempted, I either have full support or it doesn't take place at all"
"How about a compromise then, it is evident that I and King Thanduil are reluctant to give up our forces, I propose that while the main attack takes place we both lead another assault from one of their sides, this will solve both problems and spread out their defences much more"
"I'm agreeable to that if it is the will of the council, however we will have to insure that timing is right if we are to attack together" said Elrond. Harry nodded and drew aside a piece of parchment to do calculations on.
"It is six days to the black gate from our current position, if the main force made an obvious approach towards it Sauron will meet you around the plains before that, so, if that is correct then it could be possible to launch a second assault from say Nindalf, an area near the river Anduin and North of Osgilliath, we could transport troops from the great wood using the river to ensure speed and stealth, my forces can meet them there and we can attack from there, that is, if we in agreement" Harry suggested not bothering to lift his head from his writing as he did so.
"I am inclined to agree with Lord Tinehtelë, my forces will march with his and launch another assault at the same time as your own, now all we have to do is talk numbers" said Thanduil looking around expectantly.
Elendil nodded and spoke. "If this is to be our last stand then our full strength has to be utilised, I can offer six hundred thousand men in various forms, to the attack" he stated.
Harry suddenly grew protective over what remained of his forces, his troops were much less than that, and however he would rather fight with them than any other army in the world.
"I have received word from Galadriel of Lorien that they can spare one hundred thousand Elves for the attack, my forces will put their full strength forward, some five hundred thousand elves" stated Gil-Galad solemnly.
Harry nodded, still slightly in shock over the numbers they were willing to put forth into the attack, even if he ran his city dry and forced every able and unable man and woman to fight, he would still be hundreds of thousands behind those figures, and this was of course out of the question.
"My forces have been significantly reduced over the course of the war; at full strength we can offer seventy five thousand Elves, however I am sure you all know how effective they are in battle" Harry offered.
There were several nods of the head as they recognised that even with such a small number the Night Elves would be a vital part of the attack.
"And my forces can be launched at three hundred thousand Elves" added Thanduil.
Harry made a very quick calculation in his head.
"So one million two hundred thousand are to march directly on the black gate, while another three hundred and seventy five thousand will attack from Nindalf, is that agreeable to all present?" Harry asked. Receiving nods from around the table he sat back in his chair. "So what else do we need to do?"
The meeting continued.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Harry and Bella sat together on a stone bench, staring out into the clear Night sky, they tried to ignore the flaming inferno of evil which could just be seen over the top of the mountains to his west, they were content in each others presence.
"I'll be with you, you know Harry, all the way" Bella broke the silence. Harry gave a small smile.
"I wouldn't expect anything else my love" he said.
"Are you worried?" she asked softly, placing a hand on his leg and giving it a small rub.
"No, not really, I know I should be, but this is a chance to end the death, I can't go into that chance half assed, I need to be decisive" he replied glancing over at his wife momentarily" he gave a pause, in which time the wind continued to whip aside his hair gently." I am worried for you however, I love you too much to lose you now" he whispered. Bella gave a sad smile and stood up.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself love" she assured him.
Seconds later she straddled his lap and began to nibble at his neck gently. He groaned in wanting.
"It's been too long my Love" she stated.
"Indeed it has my Bella, indeed it has" he agreed, and with that he once gain caught Bella's lips in a frenzied kiss.
Moving his hands down he stood up and held her by the ass as she once again straddled his waist, this time however it was to go a lot further than before.
Moving inside he walked over to the large bed and dropped her on to it. Immediately he began to strip off, and in under a minute he was naked in front of her.
Still dressed Bella moved forward on her knees and took him full into her mouth. Harry closed his eyes at the sensation and placed his hands on her head, letting his fingers run through her silky hair. Bella eased his member in and out of her mouth, slowly applying suction where necessary; it didn't take long for him to come in her mouth.
Swallowing Bella moved back so that she was leaning against the headboard of the bed, once there she spread her legs to reveal her nether regions.
Harry gazed at her in wonder; the black dress obscuring part of his view only made it more the more arousing.
Moving forward onto the bed he roughly grabbed hold of her legs and slid her forward. Not wasting any time he plunged deep into her, throwing his head back a second later due to the feelings which were now being evoked.
Giving a growl Bella flipped over and began to ride him roughly, the dress obscured his vision of the act, and this only made it all the more arousing.
Looking up Harry's breath hitched as he watched Bella's skin sweat slightly, adding a glistening wonder to its already wondrous look. She looked down also, wishing to lock eyes as they expressed their love in the ultimate form.
Their eyes finally locked once more, and in that moment both of them felt completely open to the other, it was like their very thought could be heard by the other, such was the level of their intimacy.
Letting loose their connection Bella withdrew from him and turned around, flipping up the bottom of her flowing dress she exposed her perfect ass too him. Looking back she smirked at his shocked expression.
"Take it Harry" she ordered. Harry only nodded and placed both hands on her cheeks, seconds later she could feel him rubbing hi member against her small hole, she failed to bite back her frustration.
"Just stick it in Harry, what are you waiting for?" she snapped angrily, tenderness forgotten in her desire for new sexual positions.
Taking her words as law Harry plunged into her, she screamed in pain and pleasure and it was more of the later as he started to pump into her faster and faster until he finally exploded at the same time as her, their juices flowing together.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Harry lay by Bella's side in bed over an hour later, he was tired now, between the journey and the amazing sex he had just experienced he was completely done for the day.
Bella slipped in under his arm and proceeded to lay one of her legs across his body while snuggling into his bare chest, Harry nearly groaned at the sensation that this position caused.
"I have an idea which may help us in the battle Harry" she said after placing a kiss on his chest. Harry turned his head to look at her.
"What is it Bella?" he asked curiously.
"The dwarves, send word to them, they will surely come to our aid" she suggested while wrapping her small feet around his ankles. Harry smiled at the idea.
"I don't know why I never thought of the idea before love, they could offer us many more capable soldiers to use, I'll send word to the different clans in the morning, until then we must sleep, for tomorrow we have much to do" he replied while gazing down at her.
Pouting she gave him small slap on the chest "we're not done yet, you still have to compensate for ten years of sexual frustration, I need more" she declared with a sly smile.
Harry nearly chocked at this, she wanted more, and how could he even get up in his condition?
"Bella, I'm a bit tired right now, perhaps in the morning or something" he suggested, looking for a good excuse to get out of the sex, not that it wasn't amazing, more due to the fact that at the moment the battle and preparation was currently ore important, and if he didn't get any rest then they stood more chance of being unprepared when the time came.
"Nonsense you, just lay back and I'll do the work" and with that she once again straddled his hips and almost immediately began to ride atop him.
What have I got myself into now was Harry's last coherent thought before the pleasure once more began to take hold of him.
