Chapter 3

"Go now!!!!!" Tanwen signaled to Einar. Both warriors ran into the group of orcs with their blades flashing, carving a path of blood and gore into the score of orcs. Each began yelling out the number of orcs that they had killed like it was all some kind of game. Tanwen reached the slave owner first and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck yelling, " Call off your pack of ravenous vultures." Diklah screamed in a frightened voice "alright, stop form ranks!!!" "That's better murmured Einar. He leaned upon his war hammer and continued to murmur about the sloppy fighting style of the orcs. One of the orcs broke ranks and began to run in the opposite direction of were Einar and Tanwen were standing running straight into the oncoming party of human and dwarven warriors. When the fleeing orc realized his folly he tried to turn around and run back towards Einar and Tanwen thinking his odds better facing off against two tried warriors instead of one hundred fresh warriors. His biggest mistake was to turn his back on the dwarven leader. As soon as the unlucky orcs back was turned the dwarven leader grabbed a small war hammer and threw it at the fleeing orc. The small hammer known as a dwarven bow thudded into its skull dropping it like a stone were it stood. The commanders of the dwarven and human came forward and approached the lone drow and dwarf. In turn Tanwen and Einar walked towards the approaching commanders. The human commander recognized Tanwen at once because if her flaming red hair. "Greetings dark one!" yelled Malachi, the human commander, to Tanwen. This greeting added speed to Tanwen's feet and she ran to the approaching warriors' open arms and hugged him fiercely. "It has been a long time Malachi, I'd heard that you were dead two years back" Tanwen Playfully said. "And I heard that you were dead five back" laughed Malachi. Einar walked up beside Tanwen and Malachi, the approaching dwarven commander shouted, "Where've you been? Mothers been worried sick" Einar laughed and said "Titus you're mother booted me outta your house last time I was there. " she said that she was sick of cooking so much!!" "Aye she did, and ye'd starve afore she cooked for you again. "Titus replied. When all the playful banter was over the four warriors turned and faced the decimated remains of the orc crew. This is where Titus and Tanwen took control as they walked towards the remaining orcs. Tanwen looked to titus and shook her head stepping back to allow him to issue orders " alright I want all of you sons of pigs out of my sight before I count to 10 then I am gonna release her in you" Titus said as he pointed to Tanwen who already had an arrow nocked on her bowstring pointed at the closest of the orcs. Titus started counting "one, two three four." And by the time he reached the number four the orcs were already no more that dusts cloud. Titus walked back to Tanwen and clapped her on the back saying, " it seems that now would be the time to head back where you're friends are and set up came for the night." Tanwen smiled and replied " that would be a very good idea lets go tell the men the good news."
