Prologue

Bloodcurdling shrieks echoed in the still night. Bright red blood stained the green leaves of the bushes and trees. Sounds of battle scared away almost every living thing in the area. Down by the river was where the fighting was thickest.

Dozens of orcs and elves crashed upon each other, hate flashing in either sides eyes. The elves slew many orcs, but still the evil side was stronger. Dozens kept coming by the minute, crashing through the undergrowth on the riverside. The number of elves was dwindling by the second, and the number of orcs was growing.

Suddenly, three elves on horseback clothed in white broke through the shadows of the trees and galloped towards the fray. The leader, a dark haired elf, signaled to his companions to go help the battle-worn elves around the outside of the attack. He rode towards the center of the fight, blood spraying the side of his robe.

Finally he stopped by a blonde haired elf, whose eyes shone fiercely with the light of the battle. He turned around at the sound of hooves, hoping it was nothing evil, and relaxed slightly when he saw the dark haired elf. "Mellon, what has happened here?" Asked the horseback elf. The blonde elf flinched as an arrow whizzed by, "Thank goodness it's you, Elrond, and not one of those orcs. We were traveling to Rivendell, so we sent a messenger to ride ahead. After a day of traveling, we came across his body with his head cut off. The Orcs jumped out at us, and you can guess the rest from here." His hand swept over the battle scene. "Celeborn, is there any way I may help?" Elrond asked. Celeborn's eyes shone with relief and gratitude. "Take this" he revealed a small bundle from under a nearby bush. "I hid this when the first Orc jumped out. Take this back to Rivendell and take care of it! The orcs were after it in the first place. They cannot know where it is." Elrond took it from him gently. "I will send reinforcements on the way."

He turned around and rode off, leaving the horrifying scene behind him. Not till he was halfway to Rivendell that he looked inside the bundle, and his expression turned to one of pure shock.

Thanks for reading! Please review and tell me what you think the "bundle" is :-)
