Chapter 10

Fenix glanced around, ending the run, holding her hand out to her companions. "Be wary… he might have spies set out…" Legolas and Arlena nodded, each slowing, making no sound as the passed through the leaf-ridden ground.

Fenix froze in her tracks; Legolas whipped out an arrow and fitted it to his bow, getting ready to let fly. Fenix scanned their surroundings, her gaze resting on some bushes clustered together, shuddering. She drew her sword, Arlena drew two daggers.

Fenix started toward the bushes, Arlena and Legolas flanking her on either side. She held her sword ready, as a massive form rose out of the bushes. The form stepped closer to Fenix.

Fenix breathed a sigh of relief as it got closer. "Lyngaurd, what are you doing here?"

The form took the shape of a massive wolf, probably to Legolas's shoulders. "Waiting for you, Fenix…" He rumbled in a deep tenor voice.

"Has there been any word from inside, Lyngaurd? Has our Army fallen?"

The massive wolf shook his black head, his blood-red eyes locking onto Fenix's. "No. Our Army has not fallen. They still hold but barely, they need you, Fenix… they need Isilindil.."

Legolas's gaze locked onto Fenix, his eyes slightly cold. "Isilindil?"

Fenix nodded. "Aye, I am Isilindil." She turned to look at both Legolas and Arlena.

Arlena stepped forward. "Isilindil is dead. She was killed long ago-"

Fenix held up her hand, causing her to stop. "No… Isilindil is me…"

Legolas looked confused, so did Arlena. "Then show us, Fenix… show us Isilindil…" (A/N: I might add some info about Isilindil later on. Just bare with me. J )

Fenix nodded, turning from Lyngaurd. Her form started to shimmer, changing shape and form.

:*Gasp*: Fenix is changing? Who is Lyngaurd? Oh my heck! What have I gotten myself into? Not to mention my characters. This is bound to turn out interesting. Well, R&R, please!! J
