With the pain in his shoulder now at the back of his mind Legolas readied himself to fight. He knew there was no place to run, he was completely surrounded.
At the sound of a snapping stick, Legolas turned 180 degrees and fired an arrow into the heart of one of the Urukai. This action stimulated the some of the other surrounding creatures to attack. Because, he close quarters of the situation, Legolas dropped his bow and pulled out his white knives from behind his back.
The first one came from his left. Through a series of motions he quickly dug one of his knives deep into its chest. The next two came from in from his right and left. They both swung their "poor excuses for weapons" in a motion to separate Legolas' head from his body. Instead, the elven prince ducked and they ended up decapitating each other. Three more came at him, two in front and one behind. He dealt with the one behind him first by swiftly slitting his throat. Just as the other two were coming in from behind him he stabbed both of his blades backwards and hit them both in the abdomen.
The battle continued like this for what seemed like hours. As soon as he had taken care of a few of them, more would take their place. However, the never ending stream of enemies did not get to the elf until there was only one last Urukai standing.
Legolas could see that this was one of the bigger Urukai, much like the one that killed Boromir. This one's movements were slow and deliberate, he knew what he was doing. Legolas never took his eyes off of this Urukai. At the precise moment the creature started to attack, he was ready. The Urukai's weapon came swinging towards him from his left. He blocked the blow with both of his knives and deflected it towards the ground. He then swung around and attempted to dig his blade into its neck but it had already moved. The Urukai's next blow was not a lethal one, but a very painful one for Legolas. The Urukai spun around and elbowed Legolas in his left shoulder, moving the arrow around in his flesh.
The pain that the young elf had pushed to the back of his mind returned with a vengeance. He had only experienced this much pain a few times in his long life. He cursed himself for feeling this much pain over so small an injury. The blood began to seep from the wound again at a steady flow. He stumbled a bit but was able to regain his balance as the Urukai stood by and watched the young elf suffer.
Taking advantage of his enemies amusement, Legolas quickly lunged forward and plunged his knife deep into the Urukai's side. The evil creature let out a yell as he felt the cold metal dig inside of his body. However this usually lethal blow did not have the same affect as it would have on a human.
Legolas saw that the Uruk wasn't going down. He let go of his white knife that was now in the Urukai's side and spun around to attempt to bury his other blade in its neck. The elf's shoulder wound made him slow and his opponent saw his lethal strike before it hit him. Legolas was knocked to the ground with the Urukai on top of them. The two enemies wrestled for a while, the white elven knife had been knocked out of its owner's hand and he was trying to get to it.
Finally Legolas' hand grasped the white handle of his knife and he kicked the Urukai off of him. Quickly he regained his footing at the same time as his opponent. However the elven prince now had adrenaline running through his veins and he was able to push himself to be fast despite his injury. Saurumon's minion didn't see the white knife that went all the way through his neck. He only felt the blood gurgling in his throat as he fell to the ground.
Legolas stood breathing heavily for a while, he had lost track of time. It felt that the battle had taken hours, however it was over in a matter of 15 minutes. Suddenly the adrenaline had lost its strength and the world began to spin around Legolas. He looked at his shoulder that was now streaked with red. He could have sworn he heard his name as he fell to his knees and let the darkness overtake him.
