Well, it took me ages to revise the first four chapters, but now I'm done and ready to move on to chapter 5.

Chapter 5 : Taking down the fell beast
"Lord Meldince!" a man attempted to rouse Meldince "M'lord!"
Meldince reluctantly rose "What is it?"
"Our scouts have just reached us with the report of a band of orcs making it's way to Rivendell."
Meldince bloted upright "That's where lord Shadowblade and lady Nerwen are!"
"They are at least 100 leagues from us!" said Aragorn, who was already up "We will never make it in time!"
"YOU won't," corrected Meldince "But Thunderhoove and I WILL. Saddle the horses and prepare to leave. I shall scout ahead and warn Shadowblade of the oncoming danger."
By midday, Meldince was able to reach the fortress at Rivendell.
"Meldince!" exclaimed Shadowblade "I thought you decided to fall behind!"
"An urgent situation has arisen." explained Meldince "Orcs are headed your way!"
"What?!" excalimed Boromir "Impossible!"
"We cannot explain it either." stated Bryce.
"No need to." said Meldince "Prepare for battle!"
After Meldice's men arrive, they prepare for battle, but then...
"What is that?" asked a man "In the sky?"
Meldince squinted "Smaug?" Smaug began to fly lower "What," Meldince began to tease "Get a soft spot for us all of the sudden?"
Smaug smiled (if that was possible for a dragon) "No, just very bored," he said. And so he flew outside to fight the enemy. "Draw your courage, we fight," yelled Bryce as they charged down the mountain.
