Faeriel's eyes widened in horror as the living nightmare flashed to the surface of her mind. The hideous sight and stench of the orcs, their shocking brutality, the agony of her friends, the plummet into darkness. Where are my friends?! I must find them and heal them at once! Oh no!

"Lie still. Radagast said you must rest," Legolas murmured urgently, seeing that she was in no condition to rise.

~Rusco! Where are you? Nalie, Arastor!~ Faeriel sought her friends frantically. Her eyes roved behind Legolas to the larger Ardalings who stood patiently nearby.

Faeriel fixed her eyes upon the deers, foxes, and other beings who had fought so bravely...all to save her. ~I saw you wounded! Dying!~ She blanched at the large patches of ruby wet spiked fur. ~You are bleeding—I must heal you!~ Tears welled in her eyes and panic filled her chest.

Faeriel stared, moon-eyed. ~You aren't hurt?~

The deers stepped closer, pressing their noses to Faeriel's cheek, their shoulders bumping Legolas' side as everyone crowded around the cot. Faeriel's hands untangled from Legolas' grasp to cup their faces, waves of relief resounding through her like a gong.

What a mysterious connection she has... Legolas mused.

~This elf saved you,~ Nalie went on. The doe turned her head to face Legolas.
