Chapter 10
Next day breakfast was eaten in silence. Katalia sat across from Baragon. She
could tell he was worried. They were soon finished and on their way. Katalia didn't
get much sleep that day. The event from last night, and the upcoming battle made
her wide awake. They only stopped once and that was for food and to let the
horses rest. A couple hours later, they could see the battle. Katalia clutched
Baragon's arm with a deathly grip. Baragon whispered in a tone that comforted her,
"Don't worry Katalia. Here take this. You'll be needing it." He took out his spare sword
and gave it to Katalia.
"Baragon, I love you."
Baragon's arm tightened around her waist and he leaned over and kissed her
cheek. "I love you too. Now be careful." Then Baragon shouted to his men and
they galloped down to the battle.
Swords clashed, men fell, the battle raged on. The horse fell from under Katalia
and Baragon. Katalia was getting so tired, her wounds hurt. But she kept on going.
After all, if she didn't, she would die.
All of a sudden a man jumped on top of Katalia. Katalia screamed, it was the
leader! The sword had been knocked out of her hand when she fell. She struggled
until she felt his blade poking at her throat. His eyes were full of hate. He opened
his mouth to say something when he was suddenly thrown off of Katalia. It was
Baragon. He got up off the ground in a hurry. They circled around each other.
Always watching to see what the other person would do. The Haradrim leader
attacked him. The fight went on for a long tim. Each one having a hard time.
When the Haradrim finally thrust Baragon's sword out of his hand. He made a
quick move and sliced Baragon across the chest. Baragon fell to his knees blood
was pouring out of his wound.
Katalia had been keeping an eye on the fight. She couldn't join because other
Haradrim were fighting her. Then she saw Baragon fall. The Haradrim leader was
going to for the kill. Katalia ran the short distance. She ran fast that she ever did in
her life. She dove and cought this sword just as it was about to fall on Baragon
(Baragon however had moved out of the way just in time.)
"You'll have to kill me before you get to him!" Katalia said fiercely.
"Well then, I will." as quick as lightning he brought down the flat side of the sword
over her head. Baragon jumped in front of him as he was going to kill her. Baragon
had gotten back his sword. The fight continued until Baragon finally saw his
chance. he Haradrim put on hand over his head as a signal to his troops. Baragon
cut off his raised hand. The Haradrim looked at his side and screamed. "Now you
will die!" He raised his sword over his head Baragon moved to the side so the
Haradrim instead pushed him and then in a flash jumped on Baragon's back and
knocked him unconscious.
The fight was over, the Haradrim beat Baragon and Katalia. He went in to kill
Baragon. A malicious smile on his lips, his eyes gleamed with hatred, he slowly
raised his sword up over Baragon. A soldier leapt out and tackled the Haradrim to
the ground! Quickly the soldier killed him before he could recover himself.
Shouts were heard, Gondor had finally arrived! He Haradrim braced
themselves. But they had lost all hope. Their commander was dead. They fought
on for a while though until the Rohirrim arrived. The remaining Haradrim fled!
The soldier removed her helmet and sat next to Baragon. Tears pouring down her
face. Yes! the soldier was a girl! That was the last thing Baragon saw. His sister
Teperion had joined the battle and kill the commander.
Well I hope you guys liked it. Hopefully I will have my next chapter up soon.
Namarie,
Katalia
