*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ THE NEXT DAY
As Rana lay in her bed, trying to sleep, she though about all that had happened.
Eruvande had told her everything she could.
"Rana, what's been happening has been popping up, completely randomly. You know that you and Legolas are the best available to go. Actually, you're pretty close to the best of ANY. You two know you're good. You have to go." She finished.
Rana looked up sadly. "I know. But...I wasn't expecting this. When do we leave?" she questioned, wondering why that hadn't come to her earlier.
Almatari looked grimmer than ever.
"Now." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~TWO DAYS LATER
Rana and Legolas creeped up quietly.
"Is it just me, or does it seem like we've done this before?" Rana whispered to Legolas. He nodded his head, never taking his eyes away from ahead.
Walking silently, they soon heard the sounds of fighting, which had become extremely familiar in the part two months. Rana gasped once they reached the crest of a hill.
All below them, they saw horrible scenes of death and destruction. Bodies lay everywhere around them, mutilated terribly and bloody. Screams and groans of dying warriors were in the air all around them, from elves and orcs.
Kala snuck behind Rana, along with Indo. On a whistle from Rana, they padded silently down the scene, and began to wreak havoc of their own.
Rana was mystified. She had hunted alongside wolves before, but she hadn't been a hunt with one in at least one hundred years. Also, when she had, they hadn't been at a battle scene.
They ran without any noise, and killed quickly, pulling orcs down without any sound whatsoever. Rana, who had been born with several abilities, including Foresight, telepathy, and the ability to communicate with animals, heard the thoughts in their mind as they ran. Full of hatred for the orcs, though wolves in general had often sided with them in other things, they ripped through flesh, bitter blood squirting into their mouths. Rana felt the horrible flow of blood in her own mouth, and almost gagged.
Rana decided it was time to come in herself. Drawing her bow, she ran to Raeo, shooting arrows as she ran. Leaping gracefully onto his back, she charged him into the battle.
Seizing her swords, Rana held them out to both sides and decapitated many orcs, drawing her arms up to keep from killing the other elves who were fighting. They watched as she rode through the many still alive.
As she rode, she felt...strange. A peculiar feeling overcame her. Strangely enough, she felt as though she were flying rather than riding.
Calling the wolves back to her, they ran alongside. Rana turned as she heard Legolas gallop up. She turned to him, and grinned.
Together they rode through the army, slaughtering. Rana pulled Raeo to a stop when they reached the end, and turned her horse around.
Rana rubbed her legs along Raeo's sides, and he reared high into the air. Holding her swords above her head, she called out to the elves that were left.
"Ride west!"
