Slowly, my eyes opened. Conscenceness was slowly re-entering my body again. Everything was blurry for a second. I blinked slowly, and the blurrs became trees, and dark shades of silence became the stary night. I looked around myself, finding no strength in me to arise to my feet. I groaned slightly and felt movement beneath my head. I was startled and strength returned to me in time to turn around and see him.
I expected him to be sad and afraid, but he seemed everything but that. He smiled at me, his eyes twinkling from the lights in the stars. I didn't return a smile. I couldn't. Without a word I got up and mournfully walked away. I suppose he understood my sorrow, for he didn't follow me.
I walked into the forest, my footstepps forming ripples in the puddles from a previous rain shower. I felt the splash of water on my foot, and was startled. I bent down and looked into the puddle, and saw myself and the reflection of the stary sky above me. I sighed heavily as one of my tears ran down my cheek and into the puddle. Though the tear was small, it made the puddle ripple at it's touch. I whiped away the other tears forming, but stopped myself as I noticed something in the water. A light. I leaned in closer to examine the light, and it grew. It grew until the puddle was a person's view of a army of uruk hai. Only something was strange about the images, then I realized it's meaning.
They were coming.
They are close.
I trembled and breathed loudly. I panted as though I had been heald under water. The images were terrifying, but not because of the hideous beasts. The images slowly faded, and the water became a puddle once more. I arose to my feet, and ran.
Wake up, I said touching his face. I blew on it like a ocean's breeze, and his eyes opened.
What is it??
We have to leave. They are coming.
Immediatley, we rode away from our camp, in the opposite direction of the uruk hai. Away from harm and death.
