Gurthos
***************
The company of five rode hard to get out of Gurthos. Suddenly, Merilin called out to stop.
"What is it?" Aragorn asked.
"Aunt Agarwaen is ahead of us. We should try to avoid her," Lothia said.
"I think we should be prepared to fight. This is her territory and she is strongest at night. We won't be able to avoid her. Not until morning, and by the time she has to retreat underground, she will have caught us," Merilin said.
"We could probably make it to the caves and defend ourselves there," Lothia suggested.
"I agree. How far are these caves?" Aragorn asked.
"They are just over that ridge," Merilin said pointing.
"Then let's go," Gimli said.
So the company galloped their horses towards the caves. Then, out of nowhere a small army appeared, headed by a pale, tall, blond woman with burning red eyes. Her army was dressed in armor of pure black, all of them but her. She had on a long flowing black cloak. She looked like Death herself in person. She radiated evil.
#So my "beloved" nieces. Trying to run away? And with my son's newest playthings to. I'm disappointed in you both. Guards, capture them. Whoever captures them gets to torture them, # the woman said as the guards rushed forth. (A/N: And you thought grounding was a cruel punishment.)
#Aunt Agarwaen, we have done nothing wrong. We are simply doing what we should have done years ago. We are leaving, and helping others to escape as well, # one of the twins said block a thrust from one of the Fuin, it was hard to tell which one as they were wearing the same sapphire dress and had tucked their necklaces, the only different part of their outfit, though very similar, into their respective luggage a while ago.
The twins, Aragorn, and Gimli formed a circle around the still unconscious Legolas. Then, suddenly, as the group was loosing ground, soft, powerful words sounded on the air ioht nommos e ssinduog fe thgel. The area was filled with a white light both harsh and soft at the same time. The Fuin disappeared, shrieking when the light appeared.
'Galhên!' Lothia and Merilin called running toward the figure, now visible as the light slowly dimmed than faded, embracing him.
Galhên returned the hug, then held the girls an arms length from him, 'You two have grown. '
'Its good to see you again, big brother,' one of the twins said.
'Yes, I agree Merilin,' Galhên said.
'I'm Lothia,' she said.
'So Gal, what brings you here?' Merilin asked.
Gal's expression turned serious. 'We are going to war. You are to come home.'
