CHAPTER 4
"Eh Legolas! Look ! " shouted Ambralia, pointing at a group of wild centaurs not far.
" We'll approach, he answered, without the horses, they'll scare them."
They dismounted their horses and after having attached them to a tree, they approached the centaurs quietly.
Those were wild, they communicate with growls even if they can speak like humans.
These creatures were splendid.
Their long hair, often brown, rested on their human shoulders and when they run with their powerful horse legs, their hair seemed to slide in the wind.
"I would love to be half-human, half-horse, like them," whispered Ambralia.
"But you're half-human, half-elf. It's well enough !"Legolas answered, laughing.
" What would be perfect is a half-elf, half-horse.
- Too bad this creature does not exist...They would be sumptuous..." answered Legolas, imagining a ' elf-centaur ' in his head.
" Oh look at him ! He's so cute ! "Ambralia whispered, seeing a baby centaur, who was probably only a few weeks old, approach their hiding-place in the bushes.
" I got an idea, stay here. It's going to be funny ! " said Legolas, rising from the bushes.
He approached the small centaur and took it in his arms, this one, not very reassured, wriggled, pushing sharp, acute cries, quite amusing.
All the centaurs turned their heads towards Legolas who was smiling, showing his white teeth.
The small creature's cries due to his irritation and his fear were becoming really funny and Ambralia couldn't help herself from laughing, always hidden behind the bushes.
But a large centaur detached from the group and approached the elf, trotting gently.
Legolas released the small centaur who ran away as fast as he could towards his herd.
The large centaur, with a bronzed skin and black fur stopped, about ten meters away from Legolas who turned over to smile at Ambralia, who started to worry for her friend.
The centaur hit the ground with his large black hoof and charged towards Legolas. The elf didn't react and Ambralia, always hidden by the bushes, wondered whether his companion really intended to let the enormous centaur trample him...
But Legolas, a few seconds before the dark creature crushed him, jumped on the side, wrapped his arms around the centaur's chest and jumped nimbly on his back.
The centaur stopped suddenly and reared , he was like mad, feeling the elf on his back.
As for this one, he held onto the centaur's powerful shoulder's to avoid falling backwards.
The creature was still struggling, pushing wild growls, but he wasn't able to get rid of this elf on his back. He tried to turn his chest as much as possible to be able to strike Legolas with his muscular arms, but, not succeeding, he fell on the ground and the elf had just the time to jump aside to avoid being crushed under the centaur's weight.
This one raised at once and starred at Legolas who had taken a few steps behind.
The elf had all his attention focused on the creature in front of him and that's why he didn't hear, behind him, another centaur slowly approaching.
When he finally heard him, the second centaur with grey fur was already very close and when Legolas turned over, he received a violent blow on his right cheek and collapsed on the ground.
He indistinctly heard Ambralia scream and raised immediately to his feet, only to receive a lashing kick coming from the first black centaur.
This one, after having contemplated his enemy on the ground, returned to his herd with the grey centaur.
Ambralia rushed towards Legolas, the elf hadn't move since the kick. She kneeled beside him.
"Legolas ! Legolas !! I'm sorry ! The centaur... I couldn't see him ! He was hidden by the trees! I would have warned you... Wake up ! LEGOLAS ! " her voice was filled with sobs.
The elf opened his eyes and started to laugh. Ambralia, her, wasn't laughing :
"It's not funny ! I thought you were hurt ! I was scared ! It's childish to pretend you were hurt !! You don' t act your age !! "
Legolas continued to laugh at the half-elf maid's panic.
" You idiot ! " she spat out, then she rose, turned around and walked off.
Legolas, conscious that his joke didn't amuse Ambralia at all, rose too, ran after Ambralia and took her in his arms.
" Don't you think you're a little bit too touchy ? " asked Legolas with a strand of mockery in his voice.
Ambralia smiled.
" You have to admit your humour's rather special..."
And hand to hand, they walked back to their horses.
