Should I just drag this on forever or should I just go: and they all died?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Mines were dark. Much darker than the last time Ademia had entered them. The four of the balked at first but eventually forced themselves through the door. Ademia lit the torch. Haldir gazed in amazement about him. Ademia led them down to where the bridge was broken. She stopped and grabbed some rope from her packs. "How are we going to do this?" Orophin wondered.
She smiled. Taking the rope she twirled it around above her head. Whipping it forward it latched on to the stone on the other side. "The last one will have to untie it and climb up. I cannot risk us being stuck in these mines."
Haldir nodded. "I will go last."
Ademia threw up her hands and nodded. Orophin offered to go first to 'test it.' Without much further ado he climbed up it. Ademia and Rumil following. Haldir tied it as a release knot. When he got up to the top he just pulled on it with one quick jerk and it came undone. He quirked an eyebrow at his friend and brothers. "Oh, bother! Now I'm going to have to get you down off your high horse or your head will get too big!" Ademia joked. (Sorry, but I just HAD to use that one!)
Using the same trick to get up the next one (which was more difficult because Ademia argued her way into being last) they got to the Guard Room. Ademia uneasily loosened her bow. Suddenly there was the exact sound of a drum beat. Ademia's eyes widened. "Oh no."
(You know, I was going to stop here, but I figured that I'd just be nice... for once)
Rumil, Orophin, and Haldir formed a triangle around her. She glared at them. Then another thought popped into her mind. "Well, at least its not a Balrog."
"Orcs!" Rumil shouted.
"Gaah! Let's not stay and face them!" Ademia snapped.
With a nod they ran (much faster than the Fellowship did considering they were not carrying wounded and were all elves.) Ademia throwing the rope every time and just leaving it. They had no time to undo it. Orophin in front, Haldir in back and Rumil running next to Ademia. Suddenly, she stumbled and Rumil did also. The two of them had an arrow in their shoulder. The four of them got out of the mines and were urged to continue. Getting almost to Lothlorien Ademia stopped. "Mia, we must keep moving."
Ademia gestured to Rumil. "Look at him! That arrow is poisoned and he will not make it running the whole way back!"
Of course, Haldir was not happy about forgetting about his brother. He hurried to do the best he could with his brother's arm. Orophin gave Ademia a bit of leather to bite on and jerked the arrow out of her shoulder. She yelped and glared at him. He sniggered. "That wasn't funny, Orophin!"

Hehehe! Well at least I've updated. I had at first intended them to get most of the way through and then have to run, but I figured that running for three days straight wouldn't be very fun. See! I'm nice sometimes!
