A young woman was reviled under the grubby folds of the clock her face contorted with grief and streaked with tears. Legolas advanced slowly forward and knelt down to her level.
"Are you all right? Are you hurt?"
It seemed that she was unable to answer so she shook her head forlornly and turned back to the corps. Legolas stood up and motioned to Aragorn to speak with him away from the dull-eyed figure.
"Do you think we'll be able to move her with out any trouble?"
"Come on Legolas what would we do with her even if we could get her to move? But your right we can't leave her here alone."
"We are too far from Rivendell to head back so the only option is to go on with her and drop her off at the safest point."
Aragorn agreed to this even thought it might slow them down considerably. The first rays of dawn were peeking over the rims of the valley casting a bloody dull red light over the battle field and for the first time they could really see who they were dealing with.
Resting a hand on her shoulder Legolas spoke to the woman softly.
"Come with us you cannot remain here."
A fresh wave of tears came after he spoke to her. She softly moved the corpses head and stood slowly. With one last loving glance and the still figure she walked away from him and towards the waiting Aragorn with Legolas gently guiding her.
Whilst walking back to the others Legolas found himself studying her very intently. She has beautiful copper hair which would be sleek and smooth but the battle had seemed to take its toll on her appearance the warrior's braids that usually were very neat were messy and falling out and the elegant cloak was stained with mud and looked very travel worn. She was wearing clothes which consisted of a brown tunic and a very dirty light green shirt and light green leggings.
The clothes flattered her athletic form, Legolas was in the middle of contemplating this when she turned to look at him. Embarrassed to be caught staring like that he quickly turned away blushing slightly.
"Where are we going?"
It was the first word she had spoken to them. Her voice was quite and very gentle to Legolas it was the best sound in the world. He shook his head briefly. Where did that come from?
"We have a camp not far from here. Our companions are waiting for us there."
Just as Aragorn answered her question seven shadows appeared on the horizon.
"There are our friends. It seems as though they got bored of waiting!"
Legolas was chuckling as two hobbits started running towards them and the stranger.
"Strider, Legolas we thought some thing bad had happened to you! Did you get caught by the monster?"
"No Merry there is no monster. This is your monster."
After saying this Aragorn indicated to the nervous figure standing with Legolas a bit behind the group. Taking it upon himself to introduce the group and himself to the guest Pippin strolled up to her.
"This is Merry, Sam, Frodo, Legolas, Strider, Gandalf, Boromir, Gimli and I'm Pippin. Who are you?"
"Carnen."
