Chapter 31
Her Greatest Fear
I followed a map around the mountain and found the river. I followed it and found the ships. With the darkness of the night to hide me, I slipped into the water and swam as fast as I could to the leading ship. I climbed up and peered onto the deck. If I could manage to take out the ships quietly, then maybe I could prevent them from reaching Gondor. I took a deep breath and then jumped up drawing my sword.
"It appears we have a guest lads!"
SO much for quietly. One of the pirates had remained low to the ground and now had awoken the entire ship.
"A pretty girl."
I killed the pirate that spoke.
"I am no mere girl!" I said.
The pirates came at me in rage and I jumped up. I managed to clear that ship, yet my problems began when I reached the next one. I climbed up and was grabbed from behind. I cried out in pain and my sword fell to the floor. It was then I heard an eagle and then the man holding me fell.
"FAERON!" I said happily.
My eagle came and landed on my shoulder. I picked up my sword. '
"So we have a wild one eh?!" said a pirate.
I narrowed my eyes.
"~Aim for their eyes my friend.~"
"AN elf?! Get her!"
"You may try!"
I ran forward and Faeron swooped down and tore at his eyes. He howled in pain and then I ended his life. I did a side flip over and beheaded another.
"Next?" I asked.
They all swarmed at me. Perhaps I had been too hasty. Faeron was calwing and flying around as fast as he could, but there were too many. I was grabbed again and Faeron flew out of reach.
"~Find Legolas! Find my husba…..~"
One of the pirates hit me hard in the stomach.
"Tie her up!" ordered the captain.
I looked up and Faeron lingered before reluctantly flying off. I smiled and endured everything strike I received. I looked up at them.
"You shall never enter Gondor!" I said.
That earned me another smack.
"Silence! The moment we enter Gondor you shall be at the mercy of the Witch King of Angmar! If there were any mercy in that devil!"
I would not allow them to see my fear. My greatest fear was the Nazgul Ringwraiths.
Please Faeron hurry!
