Chapter 1
I yelled in pain as an Orc arrow imbedded itself into the flesh of my right leg. I hurriedly unsheathed my curved blade. I saw Orcs falling down one by one with Elvish arrows protruding from their disgusting bodies. I saw a small circle form around Gimli the Dwarf. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Aragorn's glinting sword slicing through Orc flesh. I looked ahead of me, only to see more of the filthy creatures marching toward us. Even though I was fending off the other Orcs, I always kept an eye on the approaching army. I fought my way through the Orcs until I was standing next to Aragorn, King of Gondor.
"Where did they come from?" I shouted over the sound of metal hitting metal.
"Mordor." Gimli said trying to be funny in this battle. Apparently, he fought his way over because I was struggling with the Orc arrow in my leg.
"They came from the forest." Aragorn said slathering another Orc.
"But we were just in there!" I screamed. "How come we didn't see them?"
"Camouflage."Aragorn answered. That reminded me of Legolas. I tried desperately to find him with my Elven eyes, but to no avail. 'Oh no! This can't be' I found Legolas on the ground with an arrow in his shoulder. I ran to him, killing every sorry, stupid beast that got in my way. An Orc was know standing above Legolas, who was on his knees with his head down. It raised his sword, but before his stroke fell, my sword cut his head from its shoulders. I got down on my knees just in time to catch Legolas. The last thing I remember is a sharp pain in the back of my head.
