Chapter 6

Twigs and branches barred the path. A rancid stench hung in the air. Orcs, Eradrin thought. There seemed to be a horribly built but somehow effective barricade in front of her. Piles of logs and prickly plants lay in the middle of the dirt road. Eradrin's horse trotted around it. Easy to pass, Eradrin thought. "Did the orcs really not block the sides of the path either?" She muttered aloud. Suddenly voices appeared. "I thought I heard horsey feet along this road!" An Orc voice said. "It was probably just the wind. You always imagine things." One argued. "But what if it's the she-elf? We could capture her and take her to the master!" The first one said. "Well, there's no harm in checking... We can just peek and get back to the battle. I'm sick of searching and want to fight already!" "You don't have to whine!" "And you don't have to order me around!" "I'm not ordering you around!" Typical orcs, Eradrin thought, rolling her eyes. She knew that she could defeat them. "Oh my gosh, I am so over orcs already!" She leaped out of her hiding face, surprising the two orcs. "We're gonna rip ya ta shreds!" One threatened. "I'd like to see you try!" She exclaimed, and stabbed both of them before they could say anything else. "Glad that's over! Moonsnow, ride on to Mirkwood, before more orcs come." The horse took off, riding like the wind.

Hours later, they arrived at a small forest grove. Eradrin hid Moonsnow in some bushes, and tied her to a tree. Then she reached into an oak tree's branched and hoisted herself up. She laid on a wide branch, staring into the cloudy skies. Sleep and sorrow clouded her eyes. "Where do I come from? Where do I belong? Who are my parents and family?"Eradrin whispered softly. "What was I made for? Who am I?" Full of questions, she drifted off slowly to sleep, the night ever cool and the breeze flowing softly around her.

"Neiiigh!" An anxious horse whinny sounded far off. A muzzle nudged Eradrin's face. "Okay, okay, I'll get up." Eradrin grunted. She slowly opened her eyes to slits, blinking in the bright sunlight. Moonsnow was nudging Eradrin, eyes wide with worry. "What is it girl?" Eradrin asked. The horse moved to the side. Eradrin's eyes widened in shock. "What in Middle Earth has happened here?!" She exclaimed.
