Saber Apricot: How she falls into ME is like a Mary-sue, but she isn't perfect, and she doesn't fall in love with one of the characters. The magic power thing is just my imagination running wild but hey, i'm allowed to do that. That's the point of this site right?

Chapter Three


Aragorn struggled to free himself of the bonds that were holding him, but to no avail. Branches clouded his vision, so he could no longer see Legolas. But the shock came from the girls scream, rather than the branches. He could hear the orcs coming closer and he wondered if she could defeat that many orcs weaponless.

Suddenly, about 50 orcs burst through the trees, coming from all around, surrounding her. Malicious grins spread over their faces. The girl's face turned into one of mock fear, (although the orcs couldn't tell the difference and mistook it for real fear). They edged in closer, making the circle tighter. When they were about one metre away from her on all sides, she smiled and waved.

Her cockiness made them race forward, swords ready, to kill her. But before they reached her, she raised her hands to the sky, and orcs flew upwards, reaching the top of the trees, before crashing back down to the ground. While this bought her some time, she once again summoned the two daggers from legolas's shoes.

Aragorn saw this and wondered if this maiden knew how to fight. He watched her as she magically raised the daggers in the air, poised to strike.

Tasha motioned forwards with her hands, making the blades fly forward, burying themselves in the chest of two orcs. Some looked on in surprise while some jumped at her from behind. The blades removed themselves from the orcs and flew past her ears, hitting the orcs who had tried to attack her from behind. This continued on until only one orc was left. Tasha raised her eyebrows in question as the daggers hovered in the air beside her.

Instead of turning and fleeing into the trees, as was expected, the orc readied itself for battle. Tasha grabbed one of the daggers and turned to the orc. She then threw it towards him. He jumped aside and the blade missed its original aim, instead burying itself into his leg. As he was yanking it out, the other blade hit the original mark, his gut. Blood pouring from his wounds, he stood, ready to attack Tasha, who had no more weapons left. He hadn't even moved when an elvish arrow buried itself in his forehead.

Legolas jumped down from his tree, (his bonds were loosened when Tasha was concentrating on the daggers) and grabbed his blades, wiped them on the grass, and put them back into his boots. Tasha walked over to the tree, which held Aragorn and placed her hand on the trunk. The branches moved and Aragorn came tumbling out.

"What do you think you were doing!"

Tasha didn't reply, instead, she put her hand on his shoulder and whispered in her mind.

'Im Tasha, and I just saved your sorry little butt.'

Aragorn's eyes widened in surprise as he heard her voice (well what he thought was her voice) without her lips moving. Legolas looked on in surprise as Aragorn looked like he was going to pop at any moment. Noticing this, Tasha removed her hand, and leant against the tree, making it clear that she wanted to be moving on.
