" Orcs ! " Legolas cried . Boromir and Aragorn closed the door and piled
everything they could
to hold it . Legolas had his bow ready and now they could hear loud scratching on the door .
Gimli jump to the tomb and hold his axe ready on his hand . Gandalf took his swords and
Serena place the four hobbits behind her . Frodo , Merry , Sam and Pippin have their swords
ready but Serena didn't have anything in her hand . Then they could see eyes , loud screeching
noise . Legolas shoot arrows through the wall and the orcs screeched , Aragorn did the same
helping him . But they knew that the rotten door will not hold out anymore . The door burst
open , orcs sprawling in to the room like mad ants .
" Come on ! " Serena said to the four hobbits . She dragged Frodos to the uprised wall and shoved
the rest of the hobbits to the high wall so they could see the battle before them .
" Hide behind the column . Have your swords ready . " she said . They scrambled behind the
broken column , feeling disappointed that they will not join the battle but knew that they could
not fight with orcs . " Serena ! " Frodo cried when he saw that Serena jump from the wall and
land lightly on the ground but soon was attacked with orcs . She did not have her swords in her
hand or any other weapon and she only dodged the orcs 's swords as graceful and light like
a feather . Now there were four swords slashing to her but she dodged like a dancer . Frodo
cried again , Merry and Pippin join in chorus , " Serena !! "
She did not reply . Instead she said in clear demanding voice , " Etherna !! " There was a bright
Flash that made the four hobbits closed their eyes in pain and when they open their eyes
They saw that the four orcs attacking her were lay dead on the ground . There was another
Crash and they saw that there were a towering giant , a troll . The four hobbit cried in silence .
Legolas shoot many arrows , and slain many orcs . Aragorn and Boromir also slew many and
Gimli guarding the Tomb of Balin slew any orcs that came too near . The four hobbits watch
In silence on the upraised wall as they watch the battle . Serena was standing behind Gimli ,
On top of the tomb . Her dark cloaks billow behind her and her golden hair was swaying
although there was no wind in the room . And to the hobbits amazement she was holding
something in her hand that was so bright it lit the whole room . Frodo squint , trying to have
a better look at it and realized that it was a very long swords , clad all in silver and shines
like the moon . She lift it without hesitation and threw it like a spear . The troll whined
loudly when the blade struck the throat in precise measurement . " Let us go ! " Gandalf cried .
The Hobbits jump from the low wall and were hurried by Serena , Gimli had to be dragged
by Legolas and Aragorn waited at the door for them , " Hurry ! More are coming ! " he said .
Serena ran full speed behind Gandalf who already hurried down a stair with Boromir behind
him , she look behind to the four hobbits who also was running but painfully slow .
" Hurry ! " she said with a wave , but along with the bustling Frodo noticed that her eyes was
calm as still water . The company follow Gandalf and they enter a large cavernous hall that even
they could not see the ceiling as Gandalf let his light flow . There were hundreds of pillars that
rose to the darkness and unseen by their eyes and the room was as large as they could even imagine .
But they were surrounded by screeching noises that grew louder . Gandalf stop suddenly and cast
his glance upwards . Now they could see tiny figures , climbing downward along the pillars like
black spiders . " They 're coming ! " Boromir cried , looking around and before they knew it they
were surrounded by orcs , goblin alike . There were hundreds of them but they stop and formed
a circle with the companions in the middle , surrounding them like an unbreakable wall .
The hobbits squirmed behind Serena who 's back was straight like a board and calm them with
a hush . Then suddenly they heard a loud thump , thump , even louder than the troll's footstep .
It echoed along the hall and the creature surrounding them suddenly cried and scattered of in all
direction , afraid of something . Gandalf stood motionless , listening to the loud thump , fearing
of the worst . Aragorn and Boromir were clutching their swords and so did Gimli with his axe
and Legolas with his bows . Serena , did not have her swords anymore , Frodo notice . He didn't
recall her putting it back whatever it belong nor did he recall that she carried any scabbard anywhere .
Then out of amidst Gandalf cried , " Run !!! " He ran fast and brushed past them . They ran following
the old wizard who seems to have wing instead of feet . They ran down a narrow stair and either
side of them were simple darkness , Pippin brushed past Gandalf but soon stop and almost fallen .
" Oh God ! " He cried . In front of him was a large pits and few feets away from it were the
broken bridge . He almost stumble in but Gandalf caught him . " We must cross this . " he said .
Legolas suddenly sprung up and jump like a bird , and land on the bridge as graceful as a cat .
" I can do it . Why can't you ? " he said and hold out his hand .
" Because you 're an elf ! " Pippin exclaimed , totally not amused .
Gandalf swung his arm back and jump , he almost scramble into the darkness if Legolas weren't
There to catch him . Boromir , too jump and landed not as light and graceful as legolas .
Serena look at Pippin with a small smile in her lips , " Well . Do you want to know how it
feels like to fly ? You got one near enough . " without further explanation she grab Pippin
by the belt and throw him toward Legolas . Pippin shouted something as he was thrown
to the air like a sac and caught by Legolas . " You 're lucky I can catch well . " legolas said .
Pippin silently agree . Merry stare at Serena , " You 're not tossing me ! " he said shooking
his head . " But I will . " Aragorn too suddenly grab him by the belt and toss him like a
vegetable sac to the rest of the company with a good aim to for if he missed by couple
of inches they would not have caught him and Merry will fall into the darkness .
Frodo stare at Aragorn and Serena , " Are you going to toss me like that too ? " But
He didn't have time to reply for there was a shower of arrows came from the sky . One
arrows hit his shoulder but sprung back , harmless to him .
