(still) bella's pov

I was then trying to push these thoughts to the back of my mind as much as i could for the time being. i wanted to be focused for the battle, im a warrior, meant to be capable and magnificent, its hard to live up to expectations sometimes.

Frerin inerrupted my thoughts, which im actually quite glad about to be honest, "Bella, are you sure you're alright?" he checked with me, "couldnt be better" i lied. he nodded his head, "so if you'd like to introduce yourself to these archers from mirkwood?" he asked me and i nodded, stepping forwards presenting myself in front of the 500 or even more elven fighters who we all stood n unbelievably neat rows and stood with immaculate posture and grace.

I decided to greet them in elvish "Vedui', Vanimle sila tiri, Saesa omentien lle" (english- greetings, your beauty shines bright, pleasure meeting you). i was slightly taken aback by their synchronised and what seemed to me well-rehearsed responnse; "Lye naa lle nai" (we are yours to command). they all said in unison, i nodded at their respect and politeness, i knew to expect this though, thranduil is just that kind of guy. (you know, who would put time and enery into ensuring that all of his warriors spoke in unison and fought with such organisation, after all i would know, i have lived with him in mirkwood a few times, her and there)

i tried to be as formal and serious as i could, i knew how to, i have led plent of armies into battle before, just never into one where im the person to defend, still not keen on that whole idea, im not exactly feeling the "thousands dying to make sure i don't" thing, lets just say its not 'my cup of ale'?

"I would first of all like to thank each and every single one of you for pledging your allegiance to me, making this journey to be here in my defence, i appreciate it more than you can understand. but please do not treat me as a superior, my life is of no more value than your's, you are simply, as you said, to obey my commands. yes i may be distant relative to king thorin, Durin blood runs through my veins, and yes i am hopelessly in love with prince kili..." frerin chuckled a little and i smiled back

i continued "but this does not mean i am a more valuable being, i honestly admire each and every one of you for coming here, this is not your fight yet you still are to fight for us, and for that i thank you. The time when dwarves elves and men quarrel is long gone, we are all citizens of middle-earth, all as valuable and meaningful as eachother, and we will show those evil creatures that we are united! we will strike with an army so great, that sauron wont know what hit him, and he will learn, the hard way, that we will not be so easily seperated! *they all cheer* As for strategies, all you guys need to know is basically this; When the orcs first attack, which we know they will, we will take out as many as we can with you archers in the beginning from a distance, as i trust you are all excellent shots with good technique, this should be of great affect. but now that you will only act on the command of myself and legolas at the beginning of the battle. you will take your aim and fire at our word, and legolas and will depart when we are to fight with thorin and the company, during the battle you will fight the way you have always been ttrained to, to the best of your ability and defend as any as you can around you, whether itis a man from laketown, another one of your own, a dwarven warrior, anyone. lives will be lost, but if we, I, succeed,Sauron will be gone, the source of evil of middle-earth will be defeated." i finished.
