Chapter 9
Illondria the Heroine ch. 2
Illondria ran down the steps. She passed through the groups of Eldar elfs debating the situation and whether or not it was a good solution to fall back deeper into the woods. After all, if they fell back too far, they would run into the dwarves in the Pontic Mountains. She came to the eldest tree and sat and meditated on what she should do next. Many other elves meditated asking what to do about their families. Illondria saw in her dream like state, a great stag, he flourished and grew and was a mighty creature, then she saw a bear trudge into the glade in which the stag was standing. They engaged in battle and the stag fended off the bear for some time, and then as they fought, the bear seemed to grow. With one swipe of the paw, it felled the stag. She awoke from this meditation with sweat dripping from her forehead. She looked around to see it was night. She thought hard and finally came to the conclusion that the stag represented the elves, with their great power, and the bear signified the undead, growing by the hour. She realized that the elves would eventually fall under the weight of the economic and military problems. She thought that she should run away, and head for the great gate. There she could go seek help from the humans perhaps, for they shared a common enemy. More likely the wizards, for the elves always respected the wizards and the wizards always respected the elves. She traveled through the tightly grouped trees and heard the twang of arrows and the clashing of metal. She dashed forward to find a great battle. The elves were trying to escape the undead, but were not succeeding. At that point in time she saw a familiar face, and it was Lok' Grunar, the senate leader. The elves looked as if they were defending well and were winning when more and more undead came overwhelming them. The elf numbers went from 500 to 100 in no time flat, and the undead numbers were barely scratched. Lok' Grunar fought bravely and died taking down at least 30 undead warriors. After the battle was done, the undead advanced, hoping to find more victims. Illondria came down from her hiding place and retrieved Lok' Grunar's blessed arrows. The bow was expertly crafted with gold adorned on the bow, and the quiver was of fine animal skin with a magical rune encrypted upon it. In the quiver were 20 silver pointed arrows, which could dispel all evil when struck with one shaft. She equipped the blessed weapon and headed off to hunt the undead.
