Alassea ran, shouting, "Evenstar!" as she raced down the hill. From nearby a great neigh was heard as a horse with a shining silvery mane galloped towards her. Alassea leapt quickly onto her horse, Evenstar, who had come from across the seas many ages ago.
The speed of the Black Rider was great but the ancient power running in Evenstar's veins was of a far greater potency. However just as Alassea began catching up, a dark sinister shadow loomed overhead.
Alassea cried out in terror as she looked up for a great fell beast was flying overhead and heading straight towards her. Evenstar took off at an even greater pace in its terror but the deadly creature drew steadily nearer.
"Fly, Alassea!" cried Aragorn who had regained conciousness. The Black Rider whispered a few words and Aragorn swooned and slumped over, oblivious to his surroundings.
"Aragorn!" screamed Alassea as Evenstar bore her ever forwards with the speed of the wind. Evenstar was now racing away from the Black Rider as the Fell Beast was slowly getting closer. As the shadow of the beast rose up behind Alassea it gave a cold piercing shriek which rendered Evenstar stunned.
Alassea was knocked off but managed to land on her feet with the grace and balance of the elves. Alassea softly muttered a charm and blew gently upon Evenstar's forehead and the stunned horse instantly reared upon its hind legs and gave a long neigh.
"Run my friend..find him and bring him back to me!" whispered Alassea as the Fell Beast landed before her. The great horse bowed its head and set off at an unmatched pace across the barren plains. With her superior eyesight Alassea could see the shape of the Black Rider far off in the distance heading towards the shadowy mountains. Evenstar's silvery mane shimmered in the sun as she raced after the one whom Alassea was bound to.
The Fell Beast gave another mighty screech demanding Alassea's attention. It's long piercing shriek chilled Alassea to the bones but she stood her ground and faced the beast angrily.
As the beast lowered its head, Alassea drew her swored and slashed the beast across the nose. Bellowing in rage the beast swung its spiked tail and knocked Alassea to the ground.
With a cry of pain Alassea fell and her sword landed 5 feet away from her. Alassea staggered to her feet and reached for her sword but the beast stomped upon the blade, which turned black and burned away, leaving only the hilt.
The Fell Beast made a cry of triumph and advanced towards its prey but Alassea stood defiantly on her feet and cried, "I Alassea Tiwele call upon the ancient power of my kindred from the seas to come to my aid!"
As Alassea said those words a faint light seemed to glow around her slowly intensifying. The light grew brighter and brighter blinding the fell beast. It started to thrash around in pain as it started to burn. The beast had never come across a being of such goodness and holding such love in her heart that its dark evil slowly drained away leaving the creature dead.
The brilliant light slowly left Alassea as she stood there facing the fell beast, which she had just slain but the energy used to destroy the beast had left Alassea exhausted and hurt. Alassea collapsed upon the Earth as she felt poison spreading through her veins like wildfire. Alassea closed her eyes and though of Aragorn.
"Amin hiraetha," she whispered as the darkness took over and she fainted.
