Something was really wrong.
Fili drew both of his swords, gently pushing Reina behind him, up against a big tree. Suddenly, Reina felt the wind change, and with it came a stench like she had never smelled before. Fili, on the other hand, gasped in recognition.
"ORCS!"
Reina screamed as three of the monsters charged at her and her cousin. She looked around frantically, trying to find a way out, or at least something to defend herself with against the horrors before her. Before she could do anything, however, she began to feel odd.
A strength that was not hers filled her to the top, and power spilled out of her fingertips. She raised her hands in front of her defensively, and felt the power collect in the palm of her hand. What she saw was a brilliant ball of light pulsating with energy. Mesmerized by this new-found oddity, she almost let herself be caught. If Fili hadn't yelled...
"Reina, look out!"
Reina turned, the light hurling itself at her attacker. She was surprised to see him engulfed by flames that looked unearthly in a shade of green. Turning back, Reina saw one dead orc, Fili with locked blades with another, and two more closing in. Closing her eyes, Reina concentrated by instinct on gathering her new-found power into her hands again. Opening her eyes, she directed the bright energy with her hands at both assailants. Both were consumed by green flames, just as the last orc fell, with one of Fili's blades stuck in his chest. At least, Reina thought it was a he.
Suddenly exhausted, and feeling slightly giddy, Reina sank to the forest floor, with her head in her hands. Her emotions somewhere between hysterical laughter and maniacal sobbing, the last thing she remembered was Fili's face as he ran over to se if she was all right.
Then there was nothing.
Magic? Whatever will Thorin say?!
R&R please!
