Chapter Sixteen: Battling Mage

"Ladders!" came the shout from Aragorn.

Kendra turned to look down the wall and saw several ladders being lifted to the walls. The elves had dropped their bows to pull out their swords. Kendra drew in a little more power, the wind around her whipping her coat around her legs as she suddenly started to float a little off the stonewall. Before anyone could do anything, several ladders caught fire and the unfortunate uruks that were on them fell down onto their companions below them.

That didn't stop more ladders from taking their places. When Kendra focused on these, she felt someone grab her ankle and she was suddenly pulled down. Haldir had grabbed and pulled before an arrow had reached the spot where she had been.

"Be careful," he said, before noticing her eyes. "Kendra, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"I'll explain later. And, Haldir, thank you."

Haldir was back up and swinging his sword at the newly arrived uruks. Kendra was back up as well and took to the air again. This time, she used the air itself and started creating wind tunnels. She focused her attacks on the enemies in the back of the oncoming army, taking out as many as she could. They would be the ones to present the greatest danger later on.

The battle was going poorly. Elves and men were falling quickly beneath the never-ending army. Kendra was tired, both physically and magically. Keeping up the steady barrages of fire, lightning, and wind was tiring her. She didn't have to worry about water, as there was plenty of that. Suddenly, a blast caught her by surprise and she thrown into the stone wall next to her. The uruks had managed to plant a bomb.

Kendra picked herself off the floor and looked to see the uruks flooding through the newly destroyed wall. They had breached the Deeping Wall, just like she had feared. She looked to the elves that were waiting behind the wall. There was Aragorn commanding them. Kendra looked over and helped Haldir to stand just as a fresh wave of creatures came up the ladders that were still standing. Kendra quickly pulled out her knife and started fighting hand to hand. She wouldn't be able to use her powers to defend herself right now.
