Ok now here's my next chapter, I figure I'll go ahead and stick a couple of stories on. The next, I regret will take longer because so far my story was written before I joined fanfiction.

Summary: 2 new people (that could be debated) join the group

Disclaimer: I don't own orcs or Rohan or the story 'The Hobbit' ( referring to the song that I do own) and I own Renlin, Elahar, Neeave, Maith, &Deryin

Please read & review

THE THREE TROTTED DOWN THE ROAD LOOKING FOR ANY OF THE OTHER

representatives coming for the signing. The sun warmed the three putting them in a good mood considering the circumstances. the rode in silence, the noises of the horses and the sounds of nature being the only exceptions. They continued this way until, "Whoa, Ailbri." said Neeave. Renlin and Elahar brought their horses to a halt. "What is it?" said Renlin. "Shhh," said Neeave looking down to where the path turned around the forest, "Listen." Renlin and Elahar looked to where Neeave was looking. Up ahead they could hear a faint, yet gruff song:

In days of old

and nights were cold,

We'd dig under the ground,

And wait for our valued goods to be found.

they had been taken by a Dragon

and hidden in the Lonely Mountain.

The song grew louder as its source approached.

'Til one day when Bilbo an' his noble friends

traveled Middle Earth to its ends

In hopes of finding the treasure old

of bronze, silver, and gold,

The song was at its loudest for at that moment, around the outstretch of trees, came two dwarves each riding a short, fat pony. The three girls broke out in helpless laughter to see Maith and Deryin. The two dwarves looked in shock but their faces quickly formed smiles. "Oi, a hello to you too!" said Maith. "I know we look different than the three of you, but that doesn't mean you need to be laughing at us." said Deryin jokingly in the same voice the girls had heard long before seeing him. "I'm sorry," said Elahar trying to keep a straight face, "I don't know what came over me."

"Shouldn't you be back at Gondor?" asked Maith. "Oh, I can't go back," said Elahar angrily. Before the either of the dwarves could question this, she supplied them with, "They would throw me in the dungeon, because my bu… loceb estefto brother Arnin had to go and take my kingdom!" Elahar was enraged by the time she summarized her misfortune. Neeave and Renlin, both fluent in Elvin tongue, were slightly surprised to hear Elahar call her brother names. Maith and Deryin were both amazed by what they had just heard, and though they didn't know Elvish they knew what Elahar said was not all too kind.

"How on Middle Earth did that happen!" shouted Deryin enraged right along with Elahar. Elahar was still steaming so Neeave took over in story telling. "All right," started Neeave, "If you want to hear what happened, have a seat." Neeave sat cross legged on the ground and motioned for the dwarves to follow suit. The two obediently did so, and Neeave started from the beginning, Renlin standing close by to add in where Neeave's descriptions weren't entirely correct, also allowing Elahar to calm down.

Elahar stood next to her horse Neerin, staring down the bare dirt path. This road she knew very well in actuality. She had gone on journeys to Mirkwood, Rivendell, and oh, so many other far places where she had many friends and memories. Elahar was finally in a semi-good mood, as she thought of all her trips on this old, long road. Elahar snapped back to reality when she saw movement coming from over a far off hill. As it came closer she saw it was a dust cloud, a rather large one, coming from the kingdom. Elahar stood still for a moment, then it registered what this meant.

"So," finished Neeave, "That's how we got here." Elahar's heart pounded as she whispered, "Guys,". They didn't respond. "Guys," Elahar yelled, "Into the woods! Bring everything!" "What is it?" asked Renlin. "I'm not sure," replied Elahar rushing with Neerin to get into the forest, "But I think it's someone working for Arnin, hurry."

The five crouched in cover of the brush, the horses obediently stayed back and stayed silent. The cause of the cloud came to where they were and stopped. There were seven of them, each on a horse, dirty, smelly, and all with a disgusting sneer on their face. The smell hit them like a stone wall, Maith latter confessed the stench caused her eyes to water. "I smell meat." one of the smaller ones said in a high raspy voice. "No!" grunted the largest blue leader in a loud gruff voice, "'Commander' Arnin told us we must find that woman before we can eat anytime other than when it's night and there is no light to search by, you know what he can do to us." "Right," the small one replied. "Let's move out!" shouted the leader and the group rode off.

When they were sure there was no more danger, the five emerged. "He's got orcs, ORCS! The creatures that killed so many of our men in the war, he's using orcs!" said Elahar. "That has to be what made Dad give Arnin the crown." Elahar was fuming until Deryin broke in,"'Tis sad, yes but we must be moving on." "Well," said Maith, "We're ready to go if you are, but where it is to we're not sure." "We must go to Rohan, it's closest and we can get supplies and get forces ready." said Neeave.

"Let's go." Elahar said and mounted. Elahar lead them onto Rohan, for only she knew the way off the road to avoid the Orcs.
