Chapter 6- EverLost and Charms

The next day I stood with the people of the city and watched Hama read the verdict I guess you could call it,"By order of the king, the city must empty. We make for the refuge of Helm's Deep. Do not burden yourself with treasures. Take only what provisions you need."

I tried my best to help the people of Edoras gather their things together. I saw that Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf and Ryan were trying to help as well.

Gandalf waved me over to him,"Dear Dusky, I have a gift for you," He handed me a necklace, the single silver charm on it was a bow and arrow,"This will be more effective than your wards you keep in during battle. Wear it for protection."

"Thank you," I said putting the black cord around my neck and tucking the charm into my shirt.

"Come with me," Gandalf said, and we walked on.

****

"Helm's Deep," I heard Gimli say," They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight."

I shrugged,"A great man stands up for himself and an even greater man stands up for others- the woman, elderly and children must be protected."

Later we walked into the stables and past all the horses of Rohan. To say good-bye to Gandalf,"Who will defend them if not their king," Gimli asked.

"He's only doing what he thinks is best for his people," Aragorn defended Theoden," Helm's Deep has saved them in the past."

I spotted a sweet mare that reminded me of Rochael I stopped and clicked my tongue. The horse looked over at me and walked over. I silently stroked the mare's neck as Gandalf and Aragron talked," There is no way out of that ravine," Gandalf said," Théoden is walking into a trap. He thinks he's leading them to safety. What they will get is a massacre," Gandalf turned to Aragorn and grimly stated," Théoden has a strong will, but I fear for him. I fear for the survival of Rohan. He will need you before the end, Aragorn. The people of Rohan will need you. The defenses have to hold."

"They will hold," I heard Aragorn reassure him.

Gandalf turned from Aragorn to Shadowfax. Gently, he stroked the mighty horse's coat,"The Grey Pilgrim. That's what they used to call me. Three hundred lives of Men I've walked this earth, and now I have no time."

I heard Aragorn open the stall door, and Gandalf mounted Shadowfax, "With luck, my search will not be in vain,"Gandalf said," Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east."

"Go," Aragorn said.

The mare I was petting suddenly grabbed my cloak and pulled me into her stall when Shadowfax and Gandalf thundered past. I knew Legolas and Gimli had to dodge out of the way as well, I patted the mares neck,"Thank you," I spoke to her in the Ancient Language," Thank you- you beautiful creature."

I felt heat near my collar bone and pulled the necklace out of my shirt. The bow and arrow were both glowing a slight golden color. I smiled. Gandalf knew I wouldn't have gotten hit by Shadowflax- which is why he didn't warn me!

I smiled and walked out of the stall,"Well, that was fun," I rolled my shoulders," I'll go check with Ryan. I'll meet you all when we leave."

I changed forms and walked out, the people were still a bit unused to seeing a wolf the color of fire roaming their streets. I soon found Ryan helping a young mother with her children. I turned back into my human form,"Ryan?"

Ryan turned on his heel,"Yes Dusky?"

"How is Jura?"

Ryan looked around and stepped closer,"She's hiding about 100 leagues away from Helms deep, she actually timed herself to check how long that it would take her to get there- less than five minutes every time."

I nodded,"Good, we shall need her when we get there."

"And the Ancient Ones?"

"They should reach Helm's Deep about a day after us- I am not sure how long it should or will take them but they are wolves Ryan. Especially if they travel at night."

Ryan nodded,"Alright, you should check and see if they have an extra horse for you to ride. I believe they had a black mare."

I smiled,"Thank you Ryan- are you sticking with that young woman?"

Ryan nodded,"That's Halley took me in and helped me when I first got here, her kids took a liking to me. Her husband died fighting a patrol of Orcs one day. So she gave me his sword and armor and got me into contact with Éomer. One day when I went patrolling with him I found Jura's egg."

"Why did you not leave with Éomer when he was banished?"

Ryan glanced over at Halley,"I couldn't leave her alone."

I smiled,"You're a good guy Ryan."

I changed forms and ran over to the stables.

I passed Aragorn on the way out and found it nearly empty. I saw Éowyn leave out the back, I change forms again and walked over to he stall I knew the mare would be standing in, besides her there was only Arod and Halsafar in the stable. I held my hand out and the mars touched it with her muzzle. I connected out minds.

H-Hello the mare said quietly.

"Hello," I said," What is your name?"

She tossed her head, The soldiers called me EverLost because they found me when I was a foal and I won't let any one ride me, but the prince liked me anyway. So, he kept me around.

I smiled,"If you wouldn't mine a rider. Could I ride you?"

EverLost shrank away, I know the Prince is dead, but they let Brego leave! He didn't want to be ridden anymore. If I don't let them they will kill me!

"I won't let them," I said firmly," I only require your services for this one ride-please EverLost! I will release you at the end of our journey if you still wish to have no rider."

I sensed EverLost's hesitation but finally she said,/ Alright, you may ride me. They always had hopes I would allow a rider so there is a bridle and saddle in the back- they are black- If you wish to use them./

I smiled,"I shall use the saddle so it can be easier for me to stay on, but the bridle I shall keep and not use at all, probably sell it when this is all over."

I rushed to the tack room and saddled EverLost.

I turned when I was done when I heard someone enter. Legolas walked over,"Did you make friends with EverLost?"

I nodded,"Yes I did- do you want help to saddle Arod?"

Legolas nodded,"Yes," I walked over to him grabbed Arod's bridle, while Legolas saddled the horse while I bridled. Somehow, Legolas had finished before me and was standing behind me.

I felt my cheeks heat up as I stood on my tip-toes to bridle Arod. When I was finally finished, and I was on flat feet, I felt a hand touch the small of my back. I turned and smiled up at Legolas, he held me tighter to him and starred into my eyes,"Dusky... When we get to Helm's Deep... I..."

I frowned,"What is it Legolas?"

Legolas kissed my cheek,"I just fear for your safety at Helm's Deep."

I smiled,"I should be fine."

Legolas hugged me,"I still want you to be as safe as you can be."

I pulled back and kissed him, and when that was over I smiled and said,"I am when I'm with you."

I wonder what was running threw Aragorn's and Gimli's minds when they walked in about five minutes later and found Legolas and I in our separate horse's stalls. Either way Aragorn saddled and bridled Halsurfer and then told us to mount up.

I opened EverLost's stall's door,"Here we go," I told her and then grabbed a handful of her mane and swung up onto the saddle.

"Okay," I said threw our mind link," Just follow Arod okay, EverLost?"

Okay

Legolas started off and EverLost followed.
