And to anyone, who is reading, sorry it took so long to update, enjoy.

Legolas drew his daggers just in time to block an Orcish sword, and he rolled on the ground till he could get to his feet. A heavy boot connected with his ribs, and he crawled to his feet, dodging another blow.
He cut down Uruik-Hai after Uruik-hai, but they just kept on attacking. For every one he cut down, two more would replace it, and the Elf was heavily outnumbered. He slid his daggers back into their holders, and drew a sword, the light metal was deceivingly strong, and did not even bend at the weight of the Heavy Orcish swords. Legolas ducked suddenly as a blade swung through the air unevringly close to his ear, and he cut up with his sword, burying it deep in the Uruik-Hai's stomach. He pulled it out and swung 360 as one came up behind him, and he beheaded it. He jumped suddenly as and Orc attempted to knock his feet out from under him, and he brought his sword down heavily on its head. He took a brief moment to look around, and as an Orc charged at him, he jumped to the side, and pushed it into a group of other Orcs, where, being the incredibly smart creatures they were, they impaled themselves on the oncoming weapons.
The Elf looked around. Orcs were pouring in the doorways, from where they came, he did not know, but there were so many of them he could only guess. He swung to parry an oncoming blow, and drew back, plunging the blade into the heart of the beast. He groaned, the two long weeks of travel without rest, and the trip before that were catching up with him, he needed rest, which he hadn't had for a long time.
He cut down another five Orcs, before he finally made a mistake because of his exhaustion. One second he was standing, the next an Orcish sword connected with his temple, knocking him to the ground.
One of the big males drew up his hands when he saw this, and the Orcs drew back, smiling sadistically as the man walked to where the Elf lay, and kicked him in the neck.
Aelon held her daughter, and the two were huddled in a corner. Saalli was peering over her mother's arm.
Aelon looked heartbroken as her husband desperately fought against the Orcs, and silent tears flowed down her cheeks as he was knocked to the ground, and collapsed on the beautiful white marble floor, blood pooling from a wound on his temple, his blond hair spilling like straw. He was too tired to stand, and temporarily stunned. She saw the man drag him up to above his head by his neck, and slam his fist into the side of his face, sending him flying across the room, five meters from her.
"Get up Elf," The man spat, and looked at him in disgust, as Legolas lay there. The elf dragged himself to his feet, and glared at the man. He had spotted Aelon and Saalli, and was furious they had captured them. He drew his swords up defensively as the man charged, and the heavy, rugged, man made blades locked with Legolas' light, fine Elvish blades. Aelon could see Legolas' muscles strain to keep the Man's weight from knocking him to the floor once more, and she watched as he broke the lock, ducking to avoid as the man caught his weight. He charged and they locked once more, the man forcing more of his weight on the tired Elf.
She watched on as he dropped one of his blades and swung it up and under, knocking the man's blades from his hand in one quick maneuver. The man grabbed for his belt knife, and sneered, attacking the Elf once again. Legolas dropped his swords and grabbed his daggers, just in time to feel the knife bite into his upper arm. He bit his lip, and brought his dagger up, slashing a shallow cut from the Man's hip to his shoulder, forcing him to pull the knife away from his arm. The Elf stopped for a second to see the damage, a deep cut up his arm. He swore in Elvish to himself, the fight was rapidly draining what little strength he had left. He blocked one blow from the man, and stumbled from the impact . In an impossibly fast movement for a man, he grabbed another knife by the blade, and smashed it down on Legolas' temple, knocking him once more to the ground, where Orcs swarmed around him. The Elf closed his eyes. It had taken more effort than he had imagined, and now that he was down, his arms felt heavy. He was barely aware of the Orcs around him until they attacked him, but he was only semi conscious. The Orcs attacked him viciously, drawing back from him only when he couldn't move, and he was covered with his own blood. He lay on the floor with his eyes closed, able to hear and see the happenings, but completely powerless to stop the events from unfolding.

The big man turned to Saalli, and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her up. Aelon tugged on her daughter's arm, desperately. Legolas was so close to death, he could not do anything to help her.
"Now we kill the little one," he said, and ripped her out of her mother's grip, leaving her dangling by her arm in mid air. The female Elf lunged at the man who took her daughter, trying to get to her, but the Orcs grabbed her, and dragged her and pulled her backwards, gagging her up, and binding her, readying her to be dragged out of the room to her own fate.
The man smiled, and drew a clean dagger, and traced the girls bruise on her cheek with it. Saalli spat, and he pressed it to he cheek, cutting a shallow wound. She whimpered softly, but said nothing more.
"That's better, little girls should be seen and not heard," The man said, and slapped her face, hard.
Aelon struggled, desperate to do something. The Orcs took off her gag and bindings to tie her tighter, but she jerked her head from their reach. The Orcs dropped her, and she sprung to her feet and to her husband.
She was an arm's length from the blond Elf when they grabbed her and pulled her backwards.
"Legolas," she screamed, terrified, before a massive hand clamped over her mouth, and her wrists were bound again. She was dragged to the far corner of the room.
"Well well my pretty," the man sneered at Saalli, and drew the knife to her throat, "this is where it all ends," The man gave a grim chuckle, and traced a line across her throat with the tip of the knife
