Angel watched as Bolg's weapon began to fall on the elven prince. She held her palms by her side, light flickering within them before it consumed her, teleporting her beside Legolas whom used Thorin's blade to counter the orc's attack. Angel held a hand beside the blade, sending a burst of energy out to throw back Bolg's advance. Legolas turned his head toward her, he saw nothing, leaving him vulnerable to a blow from his opponent. Angel raised up an arm, commanding the wind that caught in her light, shielding the blonde elf from the assault. Legolas no longer hesitated, he swung his sword, it clashed against the metal nailed into the orc's chest. With each attack Legolas brought forth, he missed it mark and clanged against the armor. The orc then lifted his weapon high, and brought it crashing down upon the unstable ground as Legolas dodged. The stone shook, giving way to reveal the second layer of the tower was intact. The elf fell into the hole and Bolg jumped in after him, Angel stood above them as Legolas was thrown against the walls that secured them. They began to crumble with each impact, and as they toppled, Angel focused her power behind the elf, creating an invisible wall to prevent him from falling. Legolas then found himself backing up onto rubble that lead up to the first layer of the fallen tower, Angel filled his sword with an illuminating white light, so any time Bolg would hit it, he would be thrown back. Something above caught her eye, she looked up to see Thorin hanging lightly from the frozen waterfall. A sudden thud brought her attention back, Legolas had been knocked down and Bolg stood over him, taunting while raising his weapon over his head. Angel was torn, looking between both of them as time seemed I slow.
"Angel, do not stray from your task, you know what you must do." The Dust's voice filled the air around her, and tears filled Angel's eyes as anger overtook her. She flashed in front of Legolas, stepping out of the veil and bolting towards the orc. Her hands turned white, shining like stars as she threw punches at his chest. Her swings became a flurry seemingly charged with the power of the moon itself. She knocked him back further and further, until another orc fell from above, collapsing the ground under them, throwing Bolg to the second layer of the tower. Angel jumped backwards into the fade, landing beside Legolas who had already gotten to his feet, looking up at the source of the fallen corpse. Another orc was mimicking Bolg's actions over top of Thorin. Angel's wings spread wide.
"Do not betray your word, or your kin in the heavens. Stay where you are, the battle is not won yet!" The Dust's voice thundered, seemingly shaking her heart until it fell apart. Tears were streaming down her face.
"No, Thorin!" She wailed. It was long, drawn out, and high pitched, as if she was being torn in two. Legolas' ear closest to her flicked, somehow he heard her cry, and hurled Thorin's sword at the orc. The hit was perfect, piercing through his armour as if it were tissue, killing the beast instantly. It fell, though not before Thorin reclaimed Orcrist. Angel's eyes shot to the elf, who continued to watch over the dwarf king. Warmth filled her and a grin appeared. 'Maybe that was it,' she thought to herself. 'Maybe Thorin is saved.' Her happiness ceased as Bolg appeared from the stone and swung at the elf. Angel raised a barrier just in time to allow Legolas to get away, he pulled out his daggers, launching himself toward the orc. One strike after another sliced Bolg's flesh, though again his weapon came crashing down. Angel appeared from the fade again, standing over Legolas, a shield of light absorbed the impact.
"A-Angel...!" Legolas panted under her protection.
"Do not worry, princeling. You are not alone in this fight." Angel stated before the shield exploded, knocking the enemy back a great distance. "I will stand with you." She smiled as she disappeared back into the veil. Bolg hurled himself at Legolas, knocking him down, though swiftly he stood and landed more hits on the orc, each one empowered by Angel's light. Bolg was enraged, he began attacking faster, though with the teamwork of both Angel and Legolas, he proved to be no match. The battle stretched on, and eventually, Bolg seemed to summon unnatural power, he flung his weapon towards the elf, and although Angel took most of the impact, Legolas was thrown towards the edge. A burst of energy crashed out of the fade, as did she. Angel dove off the edge, grabbing the prince's arm as well as the lip of the towers edge. She swung him upwards and with a flap of her monstrous wings, he flew back onto the tower. Angel landed behind.
"Launch me forward, Angel, wherever you are." Legolas requested as he bent down on one knee. Angel nodded though she knew he wouldn't see it. Light engulfed the elf and Angel gathered up the energy from the wind she summoned, shooting him towards the strong orc. Bolg dropped his weapon in time to catch Legolas' blade, as he did in his first fight. Angel tensed, wondering if he would make the same mistake. Her panic wasn't needed, Legolas twisted his dagger and jumped onto the orc's shoulders. Bolg stood to reach for him, but as the elf's blade entered his skull, he stopped. Angel smiled, slamming her heel down on the towers edge. It began to crumble, Legolas jumped off the orc to safety, and Angel let herself fall with the bridge. Her wings spread wide as she fell, catching the air. She glided on the wind until she had enough room to beat her wings in sync, she flew to the top of the waterfall, landing in the bloodstained ice.
