Chapter 12

Isilindil quickened their pace; eyes roaming ahead to make sure the path they took was clear. She stopped after a few minutes, drawing her weapons.

Legolas fitted an arrow to his bow, pulling the string taut. Arlena did the same as she reached her slender sword, the runes carved into the blade beginning to glow.

Isilindil began running once more, keeping her weapons in front of her as her friends followed a few paces behind, all the more alert. Isilindil had suspected a trap by now. Maybe they would get in without a problem. Maybe that was too much to ask for.

An hour later, they made it to the back wall of the city, Isilindil slipping ahead as she searched for one of the many tunnels leading into the main part of the Elven stronghold. She found it, Legolas and Arlena catching up a moment later.

"Quickly… Legolas, Arlena, go into the tunnel first. Don't turn just go straight. I will follow behind." Isilindil stated as she stood up, the passage revealed.

Arlena nodded, walking forward and into the tunnel. Legolas hesitated a moment, turning his eyes to Isilindil.

"Go… I will be fine." Isilindil told him, fully confident she would be.

Legolas said nothing in reply as he followed behind Arlena, casting one more look to Isilindil before he entered the dank passage.

Isilindil quickly shut the passage, running farther ahead. She had a feeling that she would encounter quite a few orcs stupid enough to leave the main bulk of their army. She wasn't disappointed. She rounded a small corner, slamming into a very surprised orc. Her scimitar's plunged through his armor and she gave a low and wicked laugh. "I'm back…" She said softly to the dying orc.

She wrenched her scimitars from his body, moving on to the other members of the small group. Each gave yelps as they drew weapons, eyes turning hard as they looked at the legendary wolf-demon. Each knew that they would receive quite the reward for giving her head to Saruman.

They met her charge with their own crude weapons, giving snarls as their weapons led the way of their charge.

Isilindil managed to parry most of the attacks, but didn't escape unscathed. She killed the last of them, tiny droplets of blood dripping to the ground as she dashed back to the passage. She opened it quickly, shutting it behind her as she ran ahead, picking up the sounds of voices.

She slowed slightly, snapping her weapons into their housings, discerning the voices to be Legolas and Arlena. The third she couldn't put a name to. She came to a stop, her companions spotting her. She waved off their concerned looks like one swatting away a fly. "I'm fine, I'm fine." She muttered, looking to the third figure.

He stood as tall as Legolas, shocking blue eyes looked to Isilindil, his long silver hair falling halfway down his back. Belted to his waist were two knives accompanied by several throwing daggers.

"Taseir!" Isilindil said a bit surprised as the male Elf dipped into a bow.

"Lady Isilindil…" He greeted, walking over to stand in front of her. "I met these two in the passages. They told me you were on your way. We are in great need of you, Lady. We need you at the walls."

"Lead the way, General." She stated, following the Elf, motioning her other companions to her side. "Now is the time to fight."
