10. 10 Legolas

Legolas sat on top ledge of the mountain to rest. The snow was falling thick and it was affecting his sight. He took out some frozen meat he had in his pack and began to chew on it. It did not taste good, but it would suffice for now. He was unable to build a fire until the snow let up a bit. Caves were far and few this high up on the mountain.

He sat still for a moment. Beyond the patter of falling snow he heard something else. It sounded like something from within the walls of the mountain. Possibly a goblin creature. There was the sound for the mountain cracking like it was about to open up a secret wall. Legolas tightened every muscle in his body in preparation for fight with a gobblin. He slowly reached his hand back to his bow. He saw the crack in the mountain and as it opened an orc jumped out at him. He quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow into its open mouth. The orc stopped as Legolas jumped out of the way. He drew his bow again. The orc was now laying on the ledge of mountain. It was making a disgusting scream of pain from Legolas' arrow. Legolas shot a second arrow into its head. It fell back and screamed as it fell off the edge of the mountain. Legolas jumped into the cave before the mountain closed again not knowing where it would lead.
