Chapter 7 the army
A/N: Sorry about not updating in a while. I try to update the story everyday. From now on I will reply to your reviews at the bottom.
I'm sorry if you don't like Handir and if you think he's too mean to be an elf. I decided to let at least one of the elves be mean :).
I was woken up early just like every other day. It was hard to believe that I had been here for over two months.
"Suilaid. Manen le?" my mind quickly translated this. Greetings. How are you?
"Im alorven." I responded, I'm tired. He laughed and handed me my tunic.
"You're going to do army training today." he said softly.
"Trin will be there to help you." he said quickly noticing my worried look.
"Okay." he handed me a apple and marched me out the door.
I was trying to pull my quiver on buckle me sword on my belt and eat my apple at the same time.
I must have looked really stupid judging by the stares I was getting.
We walked outside and saw several elves there also.
"These elves are also in training" he smiled and gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. He walked away and I went to join Trin.
"Suil." hi. I greeted him back and we just talked about nothing for at least twenty minutes. Then a tall dark haired elf walked out of the palace.
"That must be the captain." one of the elves hissed. The captain saw me and walked over.
"You must be Peregrin Took. I have heard many good things about you." he smiled.
I smiled back and responded with a quick nod.
He told us to get out our bows and fire at the targets when he said so.
We all loaded our bows and he said " Leithio I philinn!" release the arrows! About twenty arrows flew to the target and a few hit the target. Mine was at least ten inches away, the farthest away from the target.
Handir glared at me and snickered.
I glared back and Trin saw me. "Avo 'aro naeth" he whispered. Don't worry.
Yeah I knew not to worry I had not shot a bow as long as they did.
I never did learn how to shoot as well as the others.
When sword training came along Trin was my partner as we fought one on one. He beat me almost every time.
I could hear Handir snicker every time Trin pushed me to the floor. At the end of sword training I was covered in bruises.
I went to learn some more elvish and by the end of the day I was exhausted.
I still had to do some more archery and sword training to go. I let out a soft moan and slowly trudged back to the training grounds.
When I got there Handir smirked and said. "Oh, little halfling tired already? To weak to go on." Trin glared at him and said sharply.
"Dîn!" silence. I smirked back and finished training.
Stuffing some bread in my mouth during break I went and sat by Trin.
I can't understand Trin half the time but his presence was comforting. I was told that they would only talk in elvish to me so I would be able to hear it more.
"Mae carnen." well done. "Hennaid." thanks, I said sarcasticly. He chuckled and said, "Baw, le Ú-chenion." no you don't understand.
I raised my eyebrows. I did horribly.
He smiled and we went back to sword training. When I was at least able to hit something we stopped and went to bow and arrow.
We got to the point when my arrow was at least a few inches away from the center.
Finally I was excused and went into my room and fell quickly asleep.
