My thanks go to Anie, who is always there to give a hand and helped me shape these up.


2. Twang!

Outside, in a clearing……….

Twang!

The small projectile sailed past the impromptu wooden target with the loose patch of short arrows scattered around a tightly knit cluster of longer shafts, vanishing into the trees.

An angry yell answered back.

Estel flashed a toothy grin to the quickly panicking Elladan.

"Glorfy found it!"

At the sight of an angry Balrog-slayer with an arrow protruding from Asfaloth's saddlebag, Elladan gathered their bows and his little brother in his arms.

"I can see into your future and the sword is the weapon for you little one!"

And then he broke into a run.
