TC and Pippin galloped towards the oncoming riders. They could not see Merry or MC. However, TC spotted Strider. She was about to jump off Rocket, but then they spotted their friends.
Merry and MC jumped off of Windfola, and Dernhelm galloped into the battle. Within seconds, "he" was confronting the Lord Of The Wraiths.
"No living man can defeat me!" The foul creature laughed.
TC and Pippin rode up next to their companions. Strider following.
"But I am no living man!" Dernhelm laughed, and pulled down his--er, her, hood. "I am Eowyn and I will smite you if you touch Theoden!"
"NO!" Merry ran over to them. The beast jumped into the air and came down upon Eowyn. She beheaded the creature. The wraith rose above her. He struck her shield with his mase, smashing it into pieces. He raised his mase, ready to kill.
Merry came up behind him and stabbed him in the back of the knee. Eowyn raised her sword and stabbed the wraith between the crown and mantle, destroying it.
Merry's arm went numb. The other three hobbits went over to him. They all stared at Eowyn, who laid still and lifelessly on the ground. Merry walked over to Theoden, and knelt down next to him. They began conversing.
"Who's that?" TC whispered back to Pippin.
"That's Merry!" Pippin hissed in reply.
"NO! I know him! Who's the dude he's talking to?"
"Theoden!" Pippin recieved a blank stare from TC. "You know..."
"No..."
"The king!"
"Um..."
"OF ROHAN!"
"Oh....I'm bored! Let's go!" With that, TC kicked Rocket and they galloped towards the city.
"TC!" Pippin yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I was bored!"
"OUR FRIENDS ARE IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE!"
"So?"
"Don't you think we should HELP them?"
"Meh." TC shrugged as they passed through the city gates and slowed to a trot. The fires had died down.
"Where are we going?"
"I dunno."
"How about we go back into the battle then?"
"I got bored the first time!"
"Just wondering....HOW DO YOU GET BORED IN A BATTLE?"
"Short attention span?"
"No kidding."
At that moment, they heard a shreak behind them. "MERRY!" It was MC. TC and Pippin turned around and saw Merry staggering in the street. MC behind him, in tears. Strider standing nearby. "Um..." TC was at a loss for words. She dismounted Rocket and walked over to her warg.
"HELP HIM PLEASE!" MC screamed. She was downright hysterical. "He's gonna die!" She went down on her knees, next to Merry, who'd collapsed a few moments earlier.
"What are we supposed to do?" Pippin asked.
"I don't know! But you've been here longer!"
"I guess we could take him to the Houses of Healing." Pippin suggested.
"I don't know where that is, but I doubt he can make it there." TC observed.
"BUT YOU CAN'T JUST LET HIM DIE!" MC wailed.
"MC, in case you hadn't noticed, we have a horse!"
"Oh," MC looked down at Merry. "how will he stay on? He's unconsious."
"I'll ride with him." Pippin volunteered. MC and TC lifted Merry up onto the horse in front of Pippin. With one arm, Pippin held onto Merry, with the other, the reins. TC mounted up on to Strider, and they began on the way to the Houses of Healing. Pippin led the way...TC wanted to, but Pippin refused to let her.
