Chapter 9: Attacked!!
I woke early the next morning before everyone else so I decided to go for a walk. I had only walked a little way when I saw a black dot moving quickly on the horizon. I strained my eyes to see what it was. Oh no!
"Arazeize wake up an army is about to attack us. Wake up!!!!"
Arazeize leaped to his feet closely followed by Legosis and Giblet. Each grabbed hold of their weapons and I ran to get my sword. I leaped upon Filomere to be sure I could move swiftly if needed and so that I had more height as most warriors are full grown men whereas I am still a kid and still only 4ft 9in. Most warriors are at least 5ft 11in.
The army was now only a few kilometres away. This time I wasn't scared, this time I was ready. Ready to kill anything that got in my way.
"Ready! Now" Arazeize commanded as the army approached and we attacked.
I swished and I swerved and I killed nearly 20 orcs in the first 5 minutes. Giblet and Legosis were competing against each other to see who could slay the most orcs by the end of the battle. Apparently it was some family tradition started by their fathers.
I decided I would join the competition too. It might make the battle more interesting.
"Legosis, 2 already!" Giblet called
"I'm on 23...wait...24" Legosis yelled as he sliced one of the orcs heads off.
Giblet looked a little embarrassed and swung so hard with his double ended axe that he killed twelve in one go.
"How...many Legaramir?" Legosis said while dodging attacking orcs.
"20"
"Well done, keep going...look out" He warned me just in time and I noticed the orcs to the left of me and killed it.
"21"
"Nice to know you're having fun" Arazeize said as he managed to kill the last remaining orcs. "But I think I win that"
"Yeah, how many?"
"36" Giblet looked very disappointed as he had only killed 25 in the whole battle but that still made him second.
"I hope we don't get attacked anymore before we get back to Gondor. How far is it now?"
"Two days I would reckon."
"Two days. That's not that long is it? Once we get to Gondor I will be able to go home at last. Not that I'm not enjoying it here, it's just I...I..."
"Miss your home and family?"
"Yeah...I guess. Do they know I'm missing? Are they worried?"
"I don't know, you will have to wait and see until you are back home."
Home! I'm going home at last! How am I going to get home? Well I'll find out when we get back to Gondor!
