It had been two days since Anariel joined the fight. The tables had turned,
and the wardens were winning.

Anariel had been shot three times and was still fighting. Haldir had not been shot, but Halles and Arthgon had been sent to the healers with poisoned arrow wounds.
"They're fleeing! We've won!" exclaimed Orophin as he killed the last orc that was attacking. The wardens sighed with relief, they could finally go home. Haldir, Orophin, and Rumil were charged with the job of searching for and identifying all of the wounded and dead elves.
"Let's split up, we can cover ore ground," Haldir said.
The brothers split up and started recording the names of the elves they found. That last elf Rumil turned over . . . was Anariel.
"Oh my god, Anariel!" Rumil exclaimed. He immediately checked for the pulse. "Thank god, you're alive." He picked her up and started walking back toward Haldir and Orophin. "Haldir! Orophin! It's Anariel! Come quick!"
Haldir came sprinting out of the bush with Orophin on his heels. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the condition she was in.
"She is still alive! Barely, but she's alive!" Orophin explained to Haldir, removoing his fingers from her wrist.
"Oh, thank the Valar!" Haldir said, taking Anariel from Rumil's arms.
The brothers hurried off to get Anariel to the healders, not quite knowing what lay ahead for Anariel.
