Legolas noticed the uruks were clearing a path for a large object that was set against the wall.
"Pendraith! –Ladders!" shouted Aragorn.
"Yes, good!" Gimli said as he jumped up and down with excitement
Legolas watched in horror as the ladders climbed up the wall. He fired arrows at as many of the uruks as he could until Aragorn cried.
"Swords! Swords!"
The elves put their bows back in their quivers and drew their elvish blades in one fluid motion. Legolas kept his bow at the ready. He glanced over at Haldir and noticed that he and Limwen were back to back fighting the uruks off with their blades. Limwen's footwork was fluid and graceful like an elven ballet. She and Haldir fought as if they rehearsed it. They smiled at one another when they achieved a small victory. Legolas noticed that he let his gaze linger too long and made up for lost time by killing three uruks in a row.
"Legolas," he heard Gimli call out. "Two already!"
"I'm on seventeen!" called Legolas and he turned his attention back on the enemy with renewed energy and focus.
