Tranquil, the one word that can most be describe for this moment in time.
A child's Laughter filled my ears and lifted my heart. My son, my pride and joy was playing with my horse. This is how everyday should be. Or rather, this is how middle earth should be. There would be no more fighting, no more grudges and no foolish stubborn kings!
My ears twitched toward the bushes to our left. Evil yellow eyes shined through the branches. "Warg!" I quickly shoot it down and gathered my child in my arms as fast as I could.
"Nana! what about you Nana!" I shushed him and unclasped my necklace his father gave me and tied it tightly around his neck. "I'll always be with you." Kissing his cheek softly as if it was for the last time.
"Go to your father, send help!" I placed him on the horse's saddle. "Ride fast my love!"
The horse shot off as fast as the wind.
My blonde hair flew violently behind me as I stood my ground bow in hand. As any proud warrior, I shall not let one Orc pass me. My son will live even if it takes my life.
"Please be safe, my little one." I whispered to the wind, hoping it will carry to him. Then it began. If I fail, I hope I have stalled them enough.
Arrows shot toward me as I ducked behind a log drawing an arrow. Where did they come from? I pushed from the log quickly lodging an arrow into the Orcs skull. My eyes scanned through the trees six in total.
More poured out of the bushes six became sixteen, and then sixteen became thirty. How could the guards let this many pass their gaze! Have we become that relaxed?
I grabbed two arrows firing them simultaneously. Each arrow found their mark. "This bow is not for show! Come at me with all you got Orc bile!" The more I shoot down the more Adrenaline I got.
It seemed like hours, dodging and firing arrows. Blood covered my face and arms, I was not sure if it was my own or theirs. I felt invincible, it has been hundreds of years since I fought, and I was worried I was getting a bit rusty.
My luck soon ran out as I reached for another arrow only to find I was out.
"So be it Orcs!" I yelled and unsheathed my blade. My motions seemed more fluid like a never-ending river. Each of my blades strikes meeting no resistance.
Soon the numbers were falling. I looked over to the three Orcs that stood in front of me. "Your invasion comes to an end Orcs!" I gripped my sword tighter getting ready to strike. This will end now and my home and son will be safe once more!
"You will die here elf Scum." My eyes widened, as I felt metal enter through my back. Pain, Metallic taste covered my tongue. Fool! I left my guard down underestimating the enemy! A childish mistake!
I cried out and he twisted his blade digging it deeper. More blood fell from my mouth. I quickly grabbed for one of my daggers. The Orc sensing danger ripped the sword out and pushed me to the floor.
Searing pain ripped through my whole body. Is this how I die? As I looked up at the Orc standing above me, he was the bringer of my darkness. I was wrong! Something bit into my leg and throw me into a tree.
Another Warg growled and circled me.
My body was growing weak. I was barely able to keep my eyes open. Fear began to grow; will I be able to hold the ones I love again? What will happen to them? Move body! I demand that you move. I laid there paralyzed. I hope my little leaf is safe.
As if in slow motion, the Warg lunged
I was weak and losing blood fast. I knew it was my time. I was not ready. My boy sill has not grown! You cannot take me away Valor! "It's too soon! Please hear my cry!"
My eyes fluttered shut.
I shoot up from my bedroll. The same dream, every night without fail!
How did this come to be? Why cannot I remember? Who am I supposed to be? Why do I feel so lost? How was that little boy?
"The same nightmare?" My think sized as I turned my head to the familiar voice.
"Gandalf!" The old wizard smiled sitting next to me while smoking his pipe. He healed me a long time ago and has been trying to help me gain my memories. Even gave me a new name.
"Ileana how would you like to go on an adventure?"
